Like the iPhone but kind of miss how phones like the Motorola Razr felt in your pocket? There may be some relief on the way in the form of an iPhone Nano. But nothing is for certain yet, of course. Apple is pretty good at this kind of stuff.

But their partners aren’t so secretive. Apple accessory maker Digital Lifestyle Outfitters has apparently been working on an iPhone Nano dock since the first rumors of a nano surfaced back in 2006. Of course, they applied for a patent and it was published this spring, showing the specs of a supposed iPhone Nano dock.

Computer researcher Jeroen van Beek of the University of Amsterdam recently teamed up with The Times of London to test the security of supposedly fakeproof e-passports.

The results were not so good. In less than an hour, van Beek cloned two passports and attached photos of Osama bin Laden and a suicide bomber that killed three people in 2003. The software responsible for reading the e-passport accepted the cloned passports with no problems.

Now this is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Do you have a situation where protocol requires placing a phone call, but you really would prefer not having to talk to the person on the other end?

Do you have an iPhone and hate paying for Internet access at LAX? Want your laptop to work in Central Park?

With tethering software, users can connect their iPhones to their laptops and utilize the 3G network they pay for through their AT&T data plans to get Internet access to their laptops. It’s really a rather wonderful thing, and is available on other networks like Verizon.

An app called NetShare from Nullriver briefly appeared in the iPhone app store in the evening of July 31st, for a price of $10. Unfortunately, it was gone in twenty minutes, and raised the hackles of more than a few iPhone users who want to fully utilize the bandwidth they have purchased and own.
