In what must be one of the signs of the apocalypse, MTV had posted hundreds - dare I say thousands - of music videos for your perusal. It's all there - go ahead and dig through. I found Scarlett Johansson cavorting to the the sad-eyed crooning of Bob Dylan along with a video that essentially blew my mind in 1988. Was the saint real? What was happening in the beginning? Do girls look like that?

Flickr has released a new version of its mobile site that affords several new features, most notably the ability to stream video clips up to 90-seconds in length. Video streaming will be initially available for only the iPhone and iPod Touch, with support for other handsets that use Webkit, Firefox Mobile, or Opera Mini to come. Previously, users could upload videos to Flickr from mobile devices but this is the first time they can actually watch them on their phones.

Techcrunch: Next Major Android Handset Revealed: the Kogan Agora

Posted by on under iphe, american dollars, android, australian dollars, g1, handset, agora, bet, blackjack, keyboard, capabilities, china |

The next gPhone has arrived, and surprisingly, it looks pretty nice. Although we were all very excited about China's Sciphone (not really), the Kogan Agora and its upgraded twin, the Agora Pro, are probably a much better bet. It looks rather like a Blackjack, but it fits all the capabilities of a G1 or iPhone into that thinner form factor. Iā??m a bit jealous, although I think Iā??ll much prefer the keyboard on my handset. Itā??s being sold for 300 and 400 Australian dollars for the Agora and Pro respectively, which translates to about $200 or $260 in American dollars.
