  • OQO 02 Hacked to Run OS X

    There have been a series of ultra portable computers that have been graced with some sweet Leopard action, thanks to some ingenious tinkering, including the Eee PC and the Samsung Q1 Ultra, now you can add OQO’s 02 to the list. This seems to be one of the more complete installs out there, WiFi, sound, power management and Bluetooth all seem to be working.

    OQO 02

    While the OQO is a little clunky, it’s still a pretty sweet proof of concept. I’m definitely looking forward to the release of the full instructions on how to get it running, even though I don’t own a OQO.

    oqotalk.com member trf has posted a short video demoing the OQO running Leopard, check it out after the jump.

  • Foxconn Delivering 3G iPhones in June?

They are expected to deliver up to 3 million of the next generation iPhone in June, with a total production run expected to be 24-25 millions throughout the life-cycle of the device.

  • Salesforce to Switch to Macs

    Salesforce’s contract with Dell is about to expire, and according to an insider at the company they’re opting not to renew it. Instead they plan on outfitting all of their 4,000+ employees with shiny new Macs. Cha-ching.

    The tipster cited security as the primary reason for the switch:

    “And why, you ask, Security! The resources it takes to defend against all the stuff the baddies throw at a PC, it’s just cheaper/easier to pay a few bucks more for a Mac and not have any of those issues.”

  • 8GB iPhone is So Last Week

    At least in the UK… According to an O2 memo that Engadget got their hands on:

    “Due to the highly successful sales of the Apple 8GB iPhone, supply chain have today run out of stock & will not be replenishing stock of this product as it has now gone to end of life.”

    Yet another piece of the 3G puzzle seems to be failing in place.

    Engadget is also reporting that the 3G iPhone will be sporting full fledged GPS, though breaking rank from the current trend, they’re reporting it could ship as “early as July”. Where analysts and fanboys alike are leaning more towards a June release.
