Your iPhone’s specs explain that it should survive through temperatures from -20 to 45 C just fine. Good news? That appears to be true. Bad news? Cold temperatures may cause your iPhone’s moisture indicator to imply liquid damage.
Polish website Moje Jabluszko decided to run a few tests on iPhones to see just how winter temperatures affected the devices. They were particularly interested in whether the moisture indicator—or liquid sensor—located in the headphone jack of an iPhone would turn red—indicating moisture—due to temperature changes.
While their testing may not be entirely without flaws and doesn’t account for air humidity in the first place, it does suggest that the liquid sensors are a bit inaccurate and may change color at -11 C instead of the -20 C indicated by the device’s specs. Of course, one must keep in mind that condensation may play a large role in all of this.
Entirely scientific testing or not, the point remains that the liquid sensor is intended to indicate spills or dives into water, not a simple winter outing. [Moje Jabluszko via Slashdot]

This is a lovely painting—except that it’s a photo. Of a person. In front of a set. It’s an amazing blend of photography, body paint, and modeling. And it makes me so thankful that Photoshop exists.
The picture was snapped by University of Hawaii art professor Peter Kun Frary, who noticed the display outside of a MAC cosmetics store. The amount of time and effort that went into this must have been staggering, and I’m duly impressed. But it’s also a reminder that I can make equally amazing effects with a few key strokes and mouse clicks any time I want, thanks to a program that turns 20 today. Thanks, Photoshop. No mostly naked body-painted model in a shopping mall display could ever take your place. [Peter Kun Frary via Neatorama]

Last night we popped along to see Acer. They’ve got a fairly substantial Windows Mobile and Android range available. One of their latest phones, the Acer Liquid, was on display along with a very similar looking phone – the “Acer Liquid e”. Actually it is exactly the same phone. What Acer are doing is actually selling the same handset but with the very latest Android 2.1 OS. Existing users of the Acer Liquid won’t be able to get it for many months.
This is an interesting idea and pretty much the polar opposite of HTC, who are rolling out the new OS to “older” handsets along with their brand new ones.
Again, the Android handsets were extremely quick. This Liquid packs a 5 megapixel shooter, 3.5″ capacitive touch screen and is powered by a 768Mhz Qualcomm chip. There’s also WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, microSD expansion, 3.5mm audio port and some interesting Acer tweaks, like a rollerdex-style system for choosing apps. I also played with the “Spinlets” system for streaming your favourite tunes to your handset and full social networking integration. We then used the “urFooz” system – this will create your own virtual avatar, adding hair-styles, clothes, jewellery and so on, then it’ll update your favourite social networking sites with the new picture.
Again, lovely styling across the range on these Acer handsets. I think they’re definitely worth keeping an eye on!

The Acer Android range at Mobile World Congress
Shenzhen-based Huawei Technologies Co. introduced their Android-based mobile devices at World Mobile Congress (WMC) in Barcelona. This line includes the U8100/U8110 entry-level smartphones with 2.8-inch wide QVGA touchscreen, dual-cameras (0.3 Mpixels in the front and 3.2 Mpixels in the back), WiFi and Bluetooth; the U8300 available in green, yellow, purple and meant more for social networking featuring a Qwerty keyboard and ergonomic comfortable design and SmaKit S7 tablet with a 7-inch wide (800 x 480) screen which can be connected to home gateway, TV and other Android handsets.
However, the biggest hit that Huawei claims to be the World’s First is the U8800 Android smartphone with HSPA+ capabilities that support downlink speeds of up to 14 Mb/s. It features a 3.8-inch wide screen allowing you to enjoy movies on-the-go.
U800 is announced to be available in the Q3 whereas U8100/U8110 will be available in Europe in Q2.
No word on the availability of U8300 and SmaKit.
