Today in Joystiq: June 11, 2008

Ah newgrounds, brings me back to high school days. Slightly off topic, but it just occured to me that an awesome way to recap on MGS before MGS4 is watch speed runs.

Sizing it up: iPhone 3G vs. the rest

Opera Mobile 9.5 Build 1126
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395121

And this is still in beta. On my AT&T Tilt it displayed www.nationalgeographic.com (what the keynote used for comparison) in an average of 16 seconds with 3.5G (HSDPA).

I was not impressed with the Safari on 3G iPhone claims of being the fastest mobile browser with just 21 seconds on 3G (and 17 on Wi-Fi).

Oh, and this is from my basement, not outdoors or anything.

Verizon gets official with $28 billion Alltel acquisition

At AT&T Unlimitted data for blackberry and PDA is $30 for routed IP and $40 for a direct external IP.
$20 is for handsets but technically, it's the same thing at the $30 plan for PDAs. I'm paying $20 for unlimitted data on my Tilt. My sister pays $30 for her blackberry because her job is paying for it.

you can complain all you want about the onscreen keyboard but HTC has a couple of other keyboard styles. also, you're forgetting this is a windows mobile device, so you're not locked into one type of keyboard. you can use handwriting recognition or if you really want an iphone copy: http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php

LG Vus popping up in AT&T stores ahead of launch

AT&T put Java restrictions on my v3xx. Everytime you want to download any data from the internet you have to allow the transfer. Every time, meaning every time Google Maps wants to refresh or download a new area on a map, you are prompted. It turns out to be every 10 seconds you hit Allow. That's only one example, but I don't know about any phones after that. I have a Tilt now. I had the v3xx but I would lose the AT&T built in java applications by swapping the security file.

It's in the hardware, but I'm not sure if it was activated in the firmware.

Move over, Opera Mini: TeaShark to offer desktop-quality browsing, too

A bit too late. I just got my hands on the Opera Mobile 9.5 Alpha build. It's great. Might give it a try out of curiosity though.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
