Cranking out news for the geeks, music buffs and gossip junkies, my way. -Greg

This has to be one of the neatest apps I now have for my Blackberry. Developed by Karl von Randow, www.xk72.com, MidpSSH is a free open source SSH / Telnet client that can be installed on you Blackberry, iPhone, and many other Java enabled mobile devices, check the site for more details. Downloaded it to my phone, add a session profile, and after a few settings changes to make the text a little larger, then changing the default emulation, it was smooth sailing. All said I had about 15 minutes involved before I was SSH’d into 1 of my FreeBSD machines at home.

Here are the features as listed from their website:

• SSH1 and Telnet support, and now SSH2 support
• Saved session profiles
• Macros for entering frequently typed commands
• Interactive input mode including typing special keys and control key combinations
• Cursor movement using keypad or game control
• VT320 terminal emulation
• Traffic usage reporting
• Free and Open Source (GPL)

If you like it as much as I do, please make sure to donate and help the development!

This is a very smooth and handy app for any tech, I have to say it quickly became my favorite app. Nice job Karl! -Greg

CHIBA, Japan–This otherwise run-of-the-mill laptop from local PC purveyor Kohjinsha has not one, but two widescreen displays.

One of the 10.1-inch screens actually slides behind the other, so it’s able to be closed like a normal laptop. When they slideout they form an admittedly odd-looking, but useful dual display setup.

Also inside the laptop: a 1.6 Ghz AMD Athlon Neo-MV40, 4GB of memory, Bluetooth, a TV tuner, and a biometric fingerprint reader. The OS will be Windows 7 Home Premium, graphics are DirectX 10 compatible, and the whole thing weighs about 4 pounds.

Verizon has some of the crappiest phones available, so there’s been no shortage of leaks about it getting an Android phone. Now the Verizon/Google love-affair is official: Big Red will introduce two Android-based handsets “within the next few weeks”.

Verizon plans to support Google Voice, saying you either have an open device or you don’t, and theirs will be open. Hopefully that means VoIP calls over 3G will be possible. No word if one of the two Android phones will be the Verizon Motorola Sholes/Droid, but we’ll fill you in when we know more. [PR Newswire]
