When you first heard of a Lego App for your iPhone, what were you thinking about? A digital version of those little colored bricks, where you&rsquoll be able to build castles, and maybe export those digital designs? Well, it&rsquos nothing like that, in reality the Lego iPhone app allows you to take a picture, and modify it into a version that is built by Lego bricks. Simple and pretty, but you do have to wonder if they could have come up with a more useful app for the iPhone, don&rsquot you think?

Will we be getting clearer and better quality call quality in the near future? The folks over at Orange UK certainly seem to think so, as the company is looking to be one of the first carriers to upgrade its call quality with the launch of HD Voice, using a technology known as Wideband Adaptive Multi-Rate (WB-AMR). This will actually allocate more bandwidth to a call than normal 3G voice uses, without increasing the amount of data used. You’ll probably need phones that support WB-AMR, and it’s not confirmed whether our current phones will be able to be upgraded to the new standard. Orange will start trials of HD Video in Jan 2010, so hopefully we’ll be staring at better call quality sometime real soon.

The Jaybird Bluetooth headset certainly looks cool, and since it’s dubbed the Sportsband, it’s probably aimed at sports enthusiasts. With phones like the iPhone getting more and more popular, do you think you’ll be seeing more people with these headphones on in the near future? It’d set you back around $89, which isn’t all that bad. In the end, whether it’s designed for sports or not, you have to admit it’s one sleek looking headset.

If you own a Kingston DataTraveler BlackBox, DataTraveler Secure or DataTraveler Elite drives, you might want to pay attention to this. Kingston has posted a security alert on its website, stating that a skilled person with the proper tools and physical access to the drives may actually be able to get unauthorized access to data stored on said drives. Fortunately for users, it seem s that Kingston is willing to resolve this issue, and is urging customers with affected drives to contact tech support to arrange for a factory update of your device (though it’d be a very good idea to make a copy of the data on the thumbdrive,) Will this affect your confidence in Kingston products in the future?

Could this be true, or is it just another unfounded rumor? You&rsquoll probably want to take it with a pinch of salt for the moment. According to reports, Motorola may be working on a new Android-powered phone, nicknamed either the Mirage or Shadow. If it&rsquos true, and the specs are accurate, it&rsquoll certainly beat the Motorola DROID in some departments at least. It&rsquoll sport a large 4.3-inch 854 x 480 display. More interesting is the word that the phone will support 1080p video, and will have a native HDMI output. Apparently it might be as thin as 0.35 inches, and also sport an 8-megapixel camera. Do you think this could be true, or is it just wishing thinking at the end of 2009?

While the HTC Ozone hasn’t received an official Windows Mobile 6.5 update just yet, owners of said phone can take comfort in the fact that some folks have come up with a custom ROM for the HTC Ozone, updating it to Windows Mobile 6.5. It&rsquos not a major update, but you&rsquoll get some nice improvements such as graphic enhancements, Marketplace, MyPhone, better battery life, performance improvements, better Exchange support and some other things too. Of course, since it&rsquos not an official ROM, you&rsquoll want to tread carefully, since you do run the possibility of bricking your phone or losing data.

7-inch or 10.1-inch device? Those are the sizes that people have been bringing up from time to time. Now and then we hear a “confirmation” that it will be one or the other, and some parties that that there will be 2 sizes, so which is correct? There obviously isn’t any confirmation just yet, but it seems that the former President of Google China, Kaifu Lee, has added to the rumors, and stated that it will be a 10.1-inch device, sporting a webcam, and will have an “awesome user interface”. So which do you believe now? We certainly can’t wait for the official confirmation.

Could we be getting new TiVo offerings sometime soon? The TiVo HD and HD XL have been around for a while now, and with competitors like Moxi offerings updates all the time, TiVo will certainly want to stay in the game. There isn’t any official announcement of new products just yet, but somebody is claiming that when he upgraded to a TiVo HD, he discovered a TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL setup guide. The only bits of information available at the moment are the front-facing Cable Card slots (one single stream, one multi-stream), ATSC tuner, and a lack of S-Video and RJ-11 ports. There aren’t any confirmed details yet, but let’s keep an eye open and see what shows up, shall we?

Apple seems to have managed to sort out a messy class-action lawsuit in its favor. The class action lawsuit claims that Apple’s iPod can cause hearing loss, but the claim was rejected in the appeals court, and ruled that the plaintiffs did not adequately show that the use of the iPod “poses an unreasonable risk of noise-induced hearing loss”. Do you think that the iPods might cause you hearing loss? Wouldn’t you just turn down the volume on your iPod if the music was too loud anyways?
