Comedian Bill Maher on Saturday night made a vey bold statement saying that Steve Jobs should run for the Oval Office as he would do a better job than the current Obama Administration. Maher was clearly disappointed by President’s recent remarks in which he stated that iPads, iPods, Xboxes and PlayStations were a source of distraction, rather than a tool of democracy for the United States.

All the Apple iDevices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) are designed to be used with fingers. But occasionally, there are times when you wish you had a stylus to operate these devices. This is especially useful for iPad which really fails as a note-taking/drawing Tablet. Due to the capacitive nature of the screen, the traditional styluses don't work with these devices. This Mi-Stylus “has a special impregnated tip that replicates the physics of the human finger”.
The same person who ported Android to the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G is now working on bringing Android OS to an iPod touch (minus calling feature). We were anticipating this one for a while, and hopefully the port will see the light of day soon!

At the moment, all we know is that Android 2.2 Froyo will do Flash and HTML5 hassle free, and will be about 450% faster than Android 2.1. But now according to TechCrunch’s sources, Android 2.2 will also bring support for USB Tethering, and the ability to create your own personal Wi-Fi hotspot for sharing the internet on the go! The first one is something which Apple and AT&T are still struggling to cope up with in US for the iPhone users, while the later one cant be done, until and unless you are using a jailbroken iPhone.
