Linksys iPhone?

<1 min read

I just noticed that the one I bought at the beginning of the month doesn't say iPhone on it…

Linksys iPhone WIP320 Linksys WIP320 iPhone

Nothing on the box either.

Apple legal throw their weight around...

Paul (of MoDaCo) and xda-developers have been asked to remove all links and screenshots to the iPhone Pocket PC skin.

I guess Steve wasn't kidding.

Let's hope Cisco is not kidding either. There's really nothing like getting a little taste of your own medicine.

Changing the 8525 Bluetooth Name

<1 min read

Cingular 8525

By default the Bluetooth device name on the Cingular 8525 is the owner's registered name.

The device name can be changed by using a registry editor to modify the following key:

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings\Local Name

Worked like charm for me.
