<p>Not into iPhones? How about this <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/19/geekini-presses-all-the-right-buttons/">geeky bikini</a>? Fashioned in the style of a Nintendo NES controller, it’s certainly packed with retro chic, but is it just a cynical ploy to <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/19/geekini-presses-all-the-right-buttons/">appeal to joystick-fiddling</a> teen gamers?</p>
<p>One gadget that isn’t a cynical ploy is the new <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/19/3%e2%80%99s-new-skype-phone-voip-and-tons-more/">3 Skypephone S2</a>.

It’s lunch o&#8217;clock already! Time you grabbed a sandwich and settled down for a recap of everything gadget-shaped you’ve missed this morning.</p>
<p>It’s been a big day for some of the largest names in tech, with <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/new-psp-leaked-to-the-fcc/">Sony’s brand new PSP leaking online</a>, thanks to schematics sent to the FCC.</p>
<p>What’s changed? We’re really not sure, <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/new-psp-leaked-to-the-fcc/">take a look at the designs</a> yourself and see if you can spot the difference.</p>
<p>Not a Sony fan, eh? Apple more your flavour? Then check out the <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/iphone-3g-suffering-connection-problems/">latest reports from iPhone 3G owners</a>. Claims are flying across the web that Apple’s high-speed handset is <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/iphone-3g-suffering-connection-problems/">struggling to lock down a 3G connection</a>, even when other phones in the same spot are able to.</p>
<p>As if that wasn’t enough tech trouble, there’s news that Star Wars game creator <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/lucasarts-furious-over-nintendo-wii-motionplus/">Lucasarts is livid with Nintendo</a> for failing to give them a heads up on the all-new Wii MotionPlus add-on.</p>
<p>Seems they’d have loved to get their hands on it, and used it to build <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/14/lucasarts-furious-over-nintendo-wii-motionplus/">the best lightsaber sim ever made</a>, but instead, they were caught unaware and are now lamenting the missed opportunity.</p>

<p>Oh, and then there’s the <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/tag/psp/">PSP</a>. We’ve grown tired of rival tech overtaking one of our all-time favourite gadgets.

<p> Lead researcher on the project one Dean Andersen has his singing transmitted to the earphones in an attempt to get them walking, if there is no reaction then there&#8217;s one more blast of his vocals before the cow has a slightly more unsavoury push.</p>
<p>If after a couple of crooning prompts haven&#8217;t had an impact the Farmer can release a mini electrical shock to the unresponsive.</p>
<p>Other cues planned for transmission to the cows ears to get immediate responses and save time dawdling about in fields are snakes hissing and dogs barking.</p>
<p>An increase in bovine heart attacks is our likely next cow related story</p>

<p><a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/hackers-crack-updated-iphone-software/">Hackers</a> working on the iPhone have hit headlines again this morning, moving swiftly to <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/hackers-crack-updated-iphone-software/">crack open Apple’s latest software update</a> and let the touchscreen wonderphone work on <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/hackers-crack-updated-iphone-software/">any network</a>, as well as run un-approved apps.</p>
<p>It’ll come as a huge relief to anyone still running old iPhone firmware on their jailbroken handset, as all of Apple’s bug fixes <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/hackers-crack-updated-iphone-software/">can now be installed</a> without risk of being booted off the mobile network. But how long will it last? Word is, there’s another iPhone update right around the corner.</p>
<p>Also right around the corner is the <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/blackberry-thunder-guide-leaks-online/">BlackBerry Thunder</a>. We’ve even caught sight of a “<a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/blackberry-thunder-guide-leaks-online/">Dummies guide</a>” to the unannounced phone online. What do you think? Hoax, or a sign that its <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/blackberry-thunder-guide-leaks-online/">launch is imminent?</a></p>
<p>Lastly, Sony has finally started to <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/playstation-home-beta-expands-into-europe/">invite European gamers</a> to test its next-generation social service: <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/11/playstation-home-beta-expands-into-europe/">PlayStation Home.</a></p>

<p>Apple’s dominating tech gossip this lunchtime, just for a change, with rumours that the next iPod touch will come <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/07/new-ipod-touch-to-have-horizontal-dock/">packing a horizontal dock</a>, perfect for recharging while it blasts movies into your eyes.</p>
<p>Sure, it’s a minor update, but from <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/07/new-ipod-touch-to-have-horizontal-dock/">Apple’s own diagrams</a>, revealed in <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/07/new-ipod-touch-to-have-horizontal-dock/">patent filings</a>, it’s a major diversion for the company’s design strategy. See, with a docking port on the side, however will our existing accessories fit? Or maybe that’s the point&#8230;</p>
<p>Elsewhere, financial analysts are getting themselves worked up into a frenzy over expectations that Apple will <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/apple-to-hold-special-event-next-month/" target="_blank">hold a special event next month</a>. It’s not even confirmed yet, but if Apple sticks to its <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/apple-to-hold-special-event-next-month/">traditions</a>, it’ll be the fourth September in a row to host a special event by the Mac-maker. On the cards: <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/apple-to-hold-special-event-next-month/">new MacBooks, as well as an iPod update.</a></p>

<p>There’s something fresh from all the major tech brands already today. First up, Apple’s <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/iphone-nano-rumours-squashed/">under scrutiny from analysts</a>, who reckon recent claims we’ll see an <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/iphone-nano-rumours-squashed/">iPhone nano</a> on sale before Christmas are <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/iphone-nano-rumours-squashed/">wide of the mark.</a></p>
<p>According to the latest checks, Apple is indeed prepping a cut down iPhone, but it’s <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/iphone-nano-rumours-squashed/">more likely to land in 2009.</a></p>
<p>Elsewhere, the Wii has found an unsurprising home in <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/gym-charges-110-for-wii-workout/">Gyms across New York</a>. It’s being used by fitness trainers to tone up flabby customers, although we think <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/gym-charges-110-for-wii-workout/">charging $110 for a quick game</a> of Wii Sports is a bit steep!</p>
<p>Lastly, innovative hackers have been <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/hackers-squeeze-windows-vista-onto-ps3/">fighting to install Windows Vista</a> on the PlayStation 3, seeking to turn the slick console into an all-powerful <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/hackers-squeeze-windows-vista-onto-ps3/">living room PC.</a> Their success so far has been <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/06/hackers-squeeze-windows-vista-onto-ps3/">limited</a>, as the Big M’s OS is more unwieldy than the PS3’s default software, but it points the way to a flood of new hacks coming to the console.</p>

<p>Apple’s high on the tech agenda this lunchtime, thanks to an <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/05/apple-releases-iphone-software-update-bug-fixes-galore-inside/">update to the iPhone’s software</a> which brings <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/05/apple-releases-iphone-software-update-bug-fixes-galore-inside/">bug fixes</a> by the boat load.</p>
<p>It’s a hefty download, but makes the handset much more stable, and in some cases appears to <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/05/apple-releases-iphone-software-update-bug-fixes-galore-inside/">speed it up too.</a> It’s also available for the iPod touch, so if you’ve got either of Apple’s touchscreen gadgets, plug yours in pronto!</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Mac fans have cause for cooing this lunchtime, after <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/new-macbook-spy-shots-leaked/">spy shots of a new MacBook design</a> leaked onto the web. They claim to show the next generation of Apple’s mid-range laptop, packing <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/new-macbook-spy-shots-leaked/">a slinky aluminium shell.</a></p>
<p>They certainly look the business, but there’s no sign of that <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/new-macbooks-to-pack-glass-trackpads-and-aluminium-shells/">rumoured glass trackpad</a> yet.</p>

<p>The pint-sized lappy is powered by Intel’s Atom processor, so it’ll have <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/even-more-eee-pcs-asus-readying-new-900a/">plenty of grunt</a>, without putting on any extra pounds.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, the Xbox 360’s new <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/xbox-360-avatar-creator-exposed/">avatars have been spotted</a>, with hints that the Big M’s customisation options will extend to jewellery too.

<p>But it’s not the only console with big plans for the next few months. Sony says its line-up of <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/new-psp-titles-to-wow-gamers/">new PSP games</a> will ‘wow’ gamers towards the end of the year, with big name franchises providing exciting new titles, <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/04/new-psp-titles-to-wow-gamers/">not just the same old PS2 ports</a>.

<p>Reports are also flooding in that the Mac-maker has told resellers to stock up on enough iPods to last four week, since it’s reducing the output of the factory that makes them.</p>

<p>In other news, <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/31/nokia-n96-on-sale-1st-october-in-uk-its-official/">Nokia’s N96 superphone</a> will hit the UK on October 1st, and best of all it won’t be tied to a single network.

<p>We’ve got ourselves worked up in to a frenzy over the <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/tag/thunder/">BlackBerry Thunder</a>, but the wait for the touchscreen superphone could soon be at an end. The latest rumours <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/blackberry-thunder-to-land-october-8th/">point to an October launch</a> for the brand new blower in the US, and we’ve rounded up <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/tag/thunder/">all the news about it here</a> too.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, there’s gossip overload in the Mac world, as rumours persist that we’ll see <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/apple-planning-something-special-for-new-macbooks/">new MacBooks before too long</a>.</p>
<p>The latest word is that they’ll feature an <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/new-macbooks-to-pack-glass-trackpads-and-aluminium-shells/">all-in-one aluminium shell</a>, free from seams and looking as luscious as the MacBook Air. There&#8217;ll also be <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/apple-planning-something-special-for-new-macbooks/">unique chipsets inside</a>, to make them untouchable by rival laptop makers.</p>
<p>Better yet, they’ll <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/29/new-macbooks-to-pack-glass-trackpads-and-aluminium-shells/">feature glass touchpads</a>. Too good to be true, or the next step in Apple’s design evolution?</p>

<p>Exciting gossip reaches us this morning that Microsoft could be on the verge of <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/07/28/xbox-live-to-allow-free-online-multiplay/">abolishing monthly subscription charges</a> for Xbox Live.</p>
