All about cellphones and more.
Apple has bowed to pressure from iPhone owners complaining about the $200 (£99) price cut to the device made on Wednesday. US shoppers who bought the iPhone in the last 14 days will be eligible for a full refund or credit, as is Apple’s standard policy. However owners of iPhones bought before that will be given a $100 (£50) Apple Store voucher in compensation.

Sony Ericsson has added some color to its Cybershot line of mobile phones with the release of a Plum Edition of the K550i handset. The new color suits the phone perfectly and makes it look young and bold, although it comes with no additional specification upgrades of any sort.
The Plum Ruby new color is only an apparent upgrade for the Sony Ericsson K550i handset. The phone has the same ups and downs as before, only that it wraps them all in a more stylish case. The new color will be appreciated especially by those fashionable people or just the ladies looking to own a mobile phone that stands out or matches their purse perfectly.
The new Plum color on Sony Ericsson K550i may be nothing more than a shallow make-up that producers have applied on the phone in order to keep it young and attractive, but the handset does look good.

The Transformers theme seems to have been really appealing to many people out there, as the number of devices using it has considerably increased. Images of a Motorola ROKR E6 Transformers phone have surfaced recently, although there are little specifications on what this device is actually capable of doing other than “transforming” into a robot.
This should be classified under “Toys”, as there are low chances for this Motorola ROKR E6 phone to actually work.

Mobile phone producers jumped at the idea and used it in many of their devices, as it proved to be highly popular and, at the same time, with great potential for profits.

The Gphone is so yesterday’s news. Yahoo might just take away from Google’s glory with their own plans on developing a personal mobile phone. Yahoo is a search engine too, so why shouldn’t this work? No logic in that.
Yahoo might have felt that its efforts are not appreciated as much as they should and that Google’s lead on them is getting too big. The solution was that of keeping a close track of their work and dimming the difference as much as possible. In fact, the company might have been working on such a concept for even longer than Google has, but has managed to keep a low basis on it and make less of a fuss about it.

Taking work on holiday through endless phone calls is not a new thing. It’s annoying for the handset’s owner, but also for those sitting around him and having to hear the constant ringing and long talks. A Caribbean beach looks to get rid of this type of vacation by banning any calls those who spend time within the area might receive.
Palm Islands is a popular holiday destination in the Grenadines that will be subject to a change which will surely make it even more popular than ever before. Mobile phone use will be banned from now on for everybody spending time on the island. This means that handsets, PDAs and laptop computers are prohibited within half a mile of Casarina Beach.
