As you might know by now, the iPhone 4 has a signal issue when you hold it in a specific position (i.e.. touch the antenna).
In the video above, you can see the Samsung Galaxy S having the same problem when you touch the upper left corner of it. The signal bars drop from 2 to 0 when holding the upper left corner. Looks like the iPhone 4 isn’t the only phone with this problem.
Check out this amazing video of art made by David Kassan on an iPad. He only uses his finger and the Brushes application on the iPad. It took approximately 3 hours to make this piece.
The video above is shot and edited entirely on an iPhone 4. The whole process took around 48 hours.

A video of what is said to be the Nokia N9 leaked today. On video, this device runs Symbian, but it has previously been rumored that this device will in fact run on MeeGo. This could be of course just to test the hardware, if they have a more function complete Symbian^3 release than MeeGo.
Things that suggest this in fact is a Nokia-built prototype:
Scandinavian Å, Ä, Ö characters on the keyboard: Nokia has a lot of its RND going on in Finland.
Type: RM-626: This is a known naming scheme for Nokia products. The N8-00 is RM-596.
0591821 Product Code seen in video: It ‘looks’ like a Nokia product code. The code is not in use for a currently available phone (no firmware updates available). The nearest would be 0591817 (E90, E71 or E66), and 0591824 (5800).
Opening mechanism under the keyboard: Looks like one seen on the N97 mini.
What makes me suspicious about this prototype:
Symbian!
Camera on the back: Lens looks really crappy, not Carl-Zeiss quality.
I like the looks of this device. It sure looks like a N8-00, but with an added QWERTY-keyboard. The added keyboard hasn’t made it much thicker than a N8. Good to see a beautiful product made by Nokia.
Sony Ericsson just told that the SE Experia X10 Mini Pro will officially make its way to some stores later this week. This phone is basically a Xperia X10 mini but with a full QWERTY-keyboard.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro is priced 260€ before taxes and subsidies (in Finland).
With a lot of excitement and enthusiasm we have been waiting this week to come: Xperia X10 mini pro hits the shelves!
The Xperia™ X10 mini pro combines a convenient touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keypad in one compact mobile phone without any compromise on performance. And I am proud to say that it is by far the world’s smallest Android smartphone with full QWERTY keypad yet. With the four customisable corners and intuitive touch navigation the User Interface lying on top of the generic Android OS has been optimized for such a compact device. So you’ll get the ultimate control for easy one-hand use. And still you will take advantage of the best of the big brother X10. Also in the X10 mini pro Timescape™ brings all your communication in one place: Facebook™ and Twitter™ updates, missed calls and messages. Get a preview of more fantastic multi media and social networking capabilities in our new video. Thanks for all the great whishes and comments on the previous posts around the X10 mini pro. Needless to say, but please keep on letting us know what you think!
Entourage season 7 started earlier today with a very good episode. Why does this episode interest us? Because Ari Gold has a Nexus One. The scene in the video above began at around 09:32.
