Apple Recalls iPhone 3G USB Chargers

Apple Recalls iPhone 3G USB Chargers

Apple has announced an exchange program for the ultra-compact USB power adapters that have been sold with the popular iPhone 3G in several countries. Although Apple has received no reports of injuries from the adapters, the company says the power adapter’s metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet under certain conditions, creating a risk of electric shock.

The adapters have been sold with every iPhone 3G in the U.S., Japan, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru; the adapters were also sold as a separate accessory in those countries, along with Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, and Argentina. The problem does not affect power adapters sold with the original iPhone, or to iPhone 3G units sold in other countries.

TerraNet Brings Free Calls To Mobiles

TerraNet Brings Free Calls To Mobiles

The peer-to-peer mobile phone has arrived.

TerraNet, a Swedish company, has developed technology that allows users to speak on handsets without the need for a mobile phone base station. That makes it ideal for more remote regions, as the company is finding with trials in Ecuador and Tanzania.

Each handset is adapted to become a peer, enabling it to be a node between other handsets, so each set extends the range of the system; currently each set has a range of about a kilometer. Switch on a TerraNet phone and it searches for others, then as it finds them it connects and adds to the network. The more phones, the greater the network, as each set effectively doubles the 1km. distance. Dial a number and if the person is within range, the call is completed.
