Criminal Voyeur Hides Mobile Phone Up Butt To Escape From Cops
11:50AM Jason Chen | BoingBoing found this story of a mobile phone camera voyeur trying to snap pics of a naked gal at a tanning salon before someone called the cops on him. This wouldn’t be interesting at all except for the fact that when the cops came, the guy kept denying that he did anything until the cops searched him twice and found a mobile phone jammed up his rectum. Did the cops confiscate his phone? Did they force him to delete those pics? How many megapixels was the cameraphone? The Smoking Gun coming up short on this one. [Smoking Gun via Boing Boing] More »

Are You Going to Get the iPhone 3G?
6:10AM Gizmodo US Edition | Giz camp is divided. Some here are going to get the new iPhone 3G because of the new speed, the GPS, and, hummm… ahh… new design? Whatever. Others will not get it. I belong to the latter camp. I was really expecting more storage, at least 32GB. Or 64GB. I would have been happy to pay for it. And what about a new camera? Anyway, since I can live a little longer without 3G, I’ll wait for that. But what about you? Are you going to get the new iPhone 3G? Tell us in the comments. More »

Earth Trek Phone Stand is USB Hub, Card Reader Too
11:10PM Gizmodo US Edition | Sure, this all-in-one from Earth Trek is no good-looking gadget stand like the iClooly, but it’d be hard to beat it for convenience. You can use it to prop up your mobile phone (though how does it stick on? … magic? love? glue?) and also charge it through a range of swappable connectors. It’s also a three-way USB hub, and you can even jam in a range of memory cards from microSD to MemoryStick Pro Duo. Looks like the perfect thing to fling in your laptop bag when you’re off on a trip. It’s available in black or white, but there’s no info on price. [Akihabaranews] More »
