iPhone charging desk lamp, Skyfire browser coming, Antitrust by iPhone OS 4

The Most Talented Light has surfaced and the uncommonly named desk lamp has a charging station inside it. The thing can charge the iPhone, iPod, and notebooks.

Another new browser may be landing on the iPhone soon. The browser is called Skyfire and an iPhone version is being submitted to the App Store.

Rumor is circulating that Apple may find itself at the center of an anti-trust investigation by the DOJ or FCC. The reason cited is the tightened iPhone OS development rules essentially making devs use Apple dev tools only.

iHome iP90 clock updated, Patent app hints at heart rate ID, iPhone HD saga continues

The amount of accessories and docks on the market for the iPhone and iPad is staggering. iHome makes a lot of these items and has announced that its high-end iP90 alarm clock has been updated for 2010.

Apple has filed a new patent application that shows an interesting way to tell who is using the phone. The app outlines a heart rate sensor that is built into the case and reads the heart rate to identify the user.

The saga of police raids and legal wrangling surrounding the publishing of the iPhone HD prototype on Gizmodo are legendary. A judge presiding by the case has now been told that the documents that are secret right now outlining why the search of the Gizmodo editors home was allowed should be public. These sorts of documents are public record in most cases.

iPhone 3G Android hack, judge denies desire for iPhone 4G search warrant, no Verizon iPhone that year

We have already heard that some hackers have been able to get Android to run on the iPhone 3G. A newvideo has surfaced that shows Android on the iPhone.

I mentioned that the documents pertaining to the reason the warrant to search the Gizmodo editor’s home by the iPhone 4G prototype was being secreted away by the judge in the case. The judge has now denied a request to turn the search warrant documents by to media outlets.

Many have been expecting the iPhone to land on Verizon that year. One analyst has now decided that the iPhone will stay locked to AT&T considering he figures the cheap goods plans for the iPad 3G would have come with an extension on iPhone exclusivity.
