Apple’s latest gadget, the iPhone 4, features a electronic MEMS gyroscope within its shiny shell. But how does that little chip work, and what does it do, well read on the find out and be amazed.

According to Wikipedia’s definition, “A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum.” The emphasis is on measuring or maintaining orientation, which is the exact reason an iPhone 4 contains one of these gizmos and was touted by Steve Jobs.

A mechanical gyroscope – like the one shown below on the left- uses a spinning rotor in the center to detect changes in orientation.

The iPhone 4 utilizes a microscopic, electronic version of a vibrational gyroscope ( shown above right ), called a MEMS gyroscope.

CES 2010 in Las Vegas is the event not to be missed by technology enthusiasts and consumers alike. The events has everything for anyone and everyone, ranging from the latest cell phones, home theatre systems, laptops, processors and what not. The event is still very much in progress till January 10th 2010. One hot attraction is the Quadricopter that was unveiled at this show. It is a small toy craft which has four propellers, it can be flown anywhere (indoors as well as outdoors), has dual camera system, flies at 18 Kmph, weighs around 400 grams, connects via WiFi and best of all it can be remotely controlled by an iPhone or iPod Touch. That just about sums it up.

It is a work of art and only a genius could have imagined such a device. Also called as the AR Drone, it is made of Carbon Fiber and high resistance plastics. This means one doesn’t have to worry about the minor bumps, bruises and falls that might come. The device will stream live video to users iPhone/iPod Touch on a WiFi link.Besides all this it has necessary Image processing software for added reality, and better piloting of the craft.

It takes someone like Steve Jobs to make an iPhone, the very device that has literally taken the world by storm. As of today some 21 million devices of various models starting from the iPhone to the iPhone 3G and the 3GS have been sold. Downloads at the Apple Store have crossed the 3 billion mark in just 18 months. Even if these figures are exaggerated by 10% we can safely say that iPhone has sold like no other mobile phone has. Like it or not this makes it the most popular device on the planet. Try as the may Nokia (with Maemo), HTC (with Android) and Samsung (with Bada or TouchWiz UI) are no match for the iPhone.

But now it seems Google with HTC has got the iPhone in the crosshairs with the much touted and hyped about device called as the Nexus One. It is said that the looks alone are enough to make one drool. Both companies have worked hard in an effort to beat the mobile phone the world loves so much. The device is going to have a Snapdragon CPU clocking at a cool 1 GHz, it will boast of Android 2.1 besides having a 5 MP camera. The important specs are:

• 3.7″ capacitive Touch screen with 480 x 800 display.
• 512 MB of ROM and RAM
• 4 GB microSD card (included) and expandable microSD up to 32GB

I think it will be a long time before Nexus will be able to make a serious dent in iPhone’s popularity. Yes, iPhone’s market share will go down but it will take a sometime, ingenuity and good luck for Nexus One or any other mobile phone to beat the iPhone. Simply because people the world will not stop using their devices and Apple will not stop making/selling new models. In my opinion the coming months will see intense competition which is good for the buyers. The unlocked device it is said will cost around $530, whereas a two year contract with T-Mobile will cost something like $200.

Apple has been notoriously rebuffing VOIP applications from its app store but no explanation was available. But now it seems it wasn’t Apple which was refusing VOIP applications instead AT&T did not allow VOIP traffic through its network. Finally AT&T is saying that it will allow VOIP traffic through its 3G network, means go ahead for Skype and Google voice and many more VoIP applications.

This is because FCC  has scrutinized how Apple and AT&T handle VoIP apps for the iPhone , specifically, Apple’s continued rejection of Google’s Google Voice app. In short FCC is pushing for "net neutrality," which prevents carriers from blocking Internet communications, even on wireless networks and AT&T had to yield to mounting pressure.

At the moment this might sound a good news, but the load of new VOIP traffic might strain even less stable AT&T network which is causing many dropped calls and less stable VOIP calls, but our fingers are crossed and we are hopeful that now Google Voice and Skype will prevail on iPhone and users will be able to expand their communication horizons.

Previously we covered that PwnageTool 3.1 is available by Dev Team but it lacked jail breaking of iPhone 3GS and iPod touch, Well the wait is over and now you can jail break your iPhone 3GS or second genderation iPOD touch. In a posting on DEV Team blog, they announced the updated release of PwnageTool 3.1.3 for OSX which “pwns” or jail breaks iPhone 3GS and 2G iPod as long as the device was “pwned” prior to OS 3.1.

However,  Third generation iPod touch is not supported at the moment and if you have already installed 3.1 upgrade on your device you still have to wait more.
