Nissan's Scratch Shield paint coming to cellphones, invisibleSHIELD feels threatened
Remember Nissan's Scratch Shield paint technology? You know, that stuff we first heard about some four years back? According to a release straight out of Yokohama, the automaker has agreed to license that very tech to Japan's own NTT DoCoMo for "mobile phone application." In theory, at least, the flexible clearcoat will enable certain light scratches to actually heal themselves over time, and the paint itself is tougher to scratch to begin with. There's no specific mention of the who's and when's involved, but we're hoping to see this idea spread to other portable devices in the near future. After all -- who isn't sick of shelling out for some clear skin to protect each and every handheld they own?
(Since a lot of ppl use InvisibleShield for their iPhones (dont know why though) ... might aswell post it up here also) |

There's an update for Cydia? I just loaded it and it didn't tell me anything. I used blackra1n and have been using Rock instead of Cydia, been working fine for now... |

I didn't want to use Blackra1n because I also saw that it's a 'tethered JB' for most 3Gs' and even some 3G phones, which means that if the phone dies or needs to reboot, you have to have it connected to a computer and use Blackra1n to reboot it. fkd up. But alas, I was forced to use it after I updated my FW and base-band (proving something to someone :( ), & since BR is the only one that can 'unlock' the phone. Mind you, the moment the Dev team releases their version, I'm using theirs.
Even the BR hack itself is super glitchy. You sometimes have to do it a bunch of times because it doesn't always guarantee success on the first attempt. |

Microsoft Working with Apple to Bring Silverlight to iPhones - Should Adobe Be Concerned?
Adobe has been pushing hard to bring Flash to the iPhones. We also recently noted Adobe's attempt to make people aware that it was not their fault that Flash was not working on the iPhones already.
While Adobe was busy at it, Microsoft apparently seems to have been working to bring their own Flash alternative Silverlight to the iPhones instead.
Folks at BetaNews are reporting that Microsoft is working on a Silverlight based server side technology that could bring video content in an iPhone-friendly format. While Microsoft User Experience Platform Manager, Brian Goldfarb claims his company has been 'working with Apple' on this, it looks more like Microsoft merely keeping Apple in the loop over what it has been developing.
So what does this new technology do? Goldfarb says:
| quote: | "What we're doing is taking content that's encoded for smooth streaming and enabling the content owner to say, 'I want to enable the iPhone.' The server will dynamically make the content work -- same content, same point of origin -- on the iPhone. We do this with the HTML 5 < VIDEO > tag, in many ways.
We're translating the content to support the MPEG2 v8 [decoder] format [of] the iPhone; we're moving it to their adaptive streaming format. So it's the same IIS smooth streaming content, the same server, the same point of origin, but now I can get that content to play without any code changes, without any real work, on the iPhone. That's the critical thing for our customers" |
Does this mean Silverlight will overtake Flash in the race to reach the iPhone users? We have our doubts. Primarily, though Microsoft claims they are working "with" Apple, Cupertino doesn't seem to be particularly interested. The present server-side technology as elaborated by Goldfarb is pretty similar to how iPhone users watch Youtube on their iPhones and true compatibility only comes when a Silverlight plugin is made available for the iPhone browser, which has exactly been the point of contention between Apple and Adobe.
However with this, Microsoft has made its intentions to edge Adobe out and it will be an interesting battle to watch out for in the future; if Apple is willing to allow either of them, that is.
