HarperCollins Brings Literature to the iPhone

August 16, 2007

Even though a Japanese publisher is already planning to bring literature – albeit in graphic art form – to the iPhone in the US, that hasn’t stopped mainstream publisher HarperCollins attempting to convince people there that reading books on phones is a good idea.

First step on that uphill journey is the launch of a pilot website that allows users of the iPhone to read up to 10 pages from the first few chapters of a book.

August 14, 2007

Samsung has brought two of its slimmest handsets on the market, with the help of Verizon and Helio. The U700 and A513 phone models are two highly slender mobile phones, but also manage to pack some impressive performances.

Samsung SCH-U700 will see a release in a gold plated form, although it will probably be nothing more than a mere substitute for making the phone look somewhat more fashionable. The gray glossy surface combines with the metal look and surely adds some great points to this phone’s design.
