Steve Jobs Set to Unveil the iChurch? Er, No [Apple]
Just when you thought the iPhone's Giz-induced alternative monicker, the jesusPhone, was about to fade into obscurity, a Texas church has seen reason to bring it back. The Colleyville establishment has plastered a massive sign on one of its walls that is mightily reminiscent of the iPhone, with some rather interesting apps icons (anyone want to play Soldier with me?) There's a bigger pic after the jump. 
However, at the risk of sounding like a pedantic little trollop, surely that should read iDentity, rather than identity? [Dark7]

Motorola DH01 Mobile Video Player Does Live TV and DVR Clips, Hopes Mobile TV Will Get Better [Mobile
The Skinny: The DH01 has a 4.3-inch screen (but how thin is it?), a five-minute memory buffer for pausing live mobile TV, DVR playback from SD or MultiMediaCard cards and four hours of playback time. The Catch: It's dedicated'"who's gonna carry around a separate player if they can probably get the same live TV on their cellphone? Also, the mobile TV standard it uses, DVB-H, ain't exactly common in these parts. [Reuters]

Wireless Wii-Like Nunchuk Controller Makes Mobile Gaming Less Sucky
The major reason I hate cellphone games is the super-shitty controls. A pad designed for stubby thumbs to punch out series of digits is not an optimal gaming control surface, especially when it comes to 3D movement. The Zeemote is a Bluetooth analog joystick'"that looks a lot like a Wii nunchuk, and they've even got an accelerometer version coming'"making it possible to move around in a platformer without pitching your cellphone into a sewer. The tech's been validated on phones from all of the majors; Sega Mobile and some other developers are onboard; and they just got a nice cash infusion, so a launch next year is looking good. The timing is solid, too, as mobile phones get beefier specs to run more intense games that I might actually wanna play if I forget my DS at home. [Pocket Gamer via Max Console

The $100 iPhone/iPod Touch Stand Made from a Piece of Paper
Origami fans'"or just people who like money and have a lot of it lying about'"might find Enrique Pardo's iPhone accessory interesting. The Swiss photographer and graphic designer folded a $100 bill in all sorts of clever ways and turned it into a stand for either jesusPhone or iPod Touch. How-to video is after the jump. Cheapskates will be pleased to know that it's not all about the Benjamins, as you can use just about any denomination, as well as any currency. [YouTube via SwissMiss]

Motorola's Chief Technology Officer Officially Gone [Confirmed]
Confirming our scoop from yesterday, InfoWorld's reporting that Moto's chief technology officer, Padmasree Warrior, is out the door, complete with her Soviet-like erasure from Motorola's websites. While the article says "it's hard to know if Warrior's departure is linked to Zander's," our original source later added that it's rumored Warrior and incoming CEO Greg Brown "never saw eye to eye."

Mini Mob Tiny Brick Phone Is Perfect For Midget Zack Morris [Cellphones]
Using a retro brick phone doesn't have to be an exercise in giving up modern features as long as you're using the Mini Mob. Not only does it look like Zack's Kelly Kapowski booty call gadget, it's got an MP3 player, a camera, GSM compatibility and a slot for headphones. And best of all, it's only four inches tall, meaning you can fit this into your pocket without looking like you have elephantitis. Price? $330. Warning: even though the product page says you'll be "the original gangster", chances are you will not. [GadgetsArcade via Wired]
