iPhone

Tell me this does not sound suspicious to you at all. Quote: “The worm affects only a very specific set of iPhone users who have jail broken their iPhones and hacked it with unauthorized software”. Yeah, you read that right. Apple clearly is not worried about this at all.
Honestly I might go so far as [...]

So how did Apple manage this sweet deal? How did they do it? Being able to hit a cap on how much royalty Apple owes to Qualcomm is something for the history books when you consider how much revenue is being generated through the iPhone these days.
Further investigation shows that more than anything, Apple has [...]

So many apps, so difficult to find just the app you really want. Unlike my wife and others, I find that locating apps that I actually want to use is not as easy as I might like. Installing and using them on the other hand, no problem.
Despite this, it seems that roughly 80% of the [...]

Trillian is ready with their own IM client for iPhone users. And yet as usual, we see Apple dragging their feet with the release of the Trillian app for the iPhone even though it sure seems like Trillian has done everything right on their end?
Sure, there are already plenty of instant messengers for the iPhone [...]

The idea seems fairly straight forward. Provide an iPhone compatible GPS solution, using one of the most popular smart phones available today. But there are a couple of issues, as pointed out in this short article.
First of all, the iPhone application is not included with the TomTom kit for the iPhone. Not really a big [...]

It’s something that has been bugging me a bit. Is adding MapQuest to the iPhone merely redundant or instead are we going to see added functionality? Based on what I can see, it looks like a lot of cool functionality is being added.
But all of the cool new features in the world means little if [...]

Not sure I totally agree here. Why would Verizon totally limit themselves to Android phones and not also include the iPhone into the mix? This makes little sense to me. Being that Verizon would likely still be able to attract plenty of people wanting to use the iPhone on their network.
But perhaps there is method [...]

Half of me can understand where Apple is coming from in limiting access to MS Exchange on the older models of iPhone, but despite this understanding I cannot help but feel a bit screwed.
As an owner of the slightly older iPhone 3G, I am concerned that I will be amongst those to lose out on [...]

Been hearing good things about Spotify for some time how. Many music lovers swear by it, even more so than perhaps with Pandora, which seems to be almost along the same lines. Still, Spotify does appear to cater more to the folks wanting to avoid music piracy yet at the same time still having the [...]

Is China ready for the iPhone? I figure they are, considering the growth in mobile usage the region has seen in recent years. What remains largely unclear is how the government over there is to handle the onslaught of applications likely to overwhelm their existing restrictions on what is allowed and what is not?
So while [...]

Wait a minute here. You mean Apple iPhone apps are not suitable for business use after all? Apparently this is the case. Despite what Apple might lead us to believe, based on the article linked above, it seems that Apple is of the mind that the app store software is NOT for business use whatsoever.
This [...]

There is no question that amongst the massive amounts of the good applications out there for the iPhone, there is also no shortage of really crappy applications. In the past, the best approach to handling this was to simply trial and error your way through a muddled list of iPhone applications.
These days, there is a [...]

After looking at this comparison, I think it is safe to say that the battery life for the Pre and the iPhone collectively sucks. Those simularities aside, it’s interesting that despite me hearing horror stories about using Sprint these days, AT&T remains top dog for lamest network ever.
What is interesting, despite the network/battery life gripes, [...]

It’s interesting to look here and see just how drastically critical points have changed with regard to what people are looking at when considering a a mobile carrier.
Here in the states, the decision consists of putting up with AT&T or simply opting to not own an iPhone. That’s just how it goes. Yet with people [...]

Apple really crossed a line here in this instance. While some apps are rightfully pulled, I think Apple overstepped commonsense when they pulled the app described in this article. While I am sure the charge would be pulling this app helps to avoid any potential for violence against offenders or worse, lawsuits against Apple. At [...]

With the iPhone 3.0 software and the new iPhone 3GS, Apple has a world-class hit on its hands. This sleek, highly refined pocket computer comes with everything — including a cellphone, iPod, Internet, and camcorder — except a printed manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back with an expanded edition of his witty, full-color guide of [...]

Despite the technology being out there, available, today…Apple is forcing iPhone devs to wait on releasing Augmented Reality applications. To say this is a raw deal, would be an understatement.
On the flipside of the coin however, it should also be noted that this kind of technology is so new that privacy concerns are not totally [...]

Well this is not good news for anyone depending on the level of encryption provided by their iPhone 3GS. What is really sad is despite this encryption being so poorly implemented, it is also being used by thousands of business and government types as well. Great, so much for secure data!
I would remind everyone out [...]

Apple has had presence from the beginning thanks to iTunes and the iPod. Based on the sheer success of these two offerings, tossing in an application store while making sure the SDK for the iPhone/iPod Touch was accessible was largely a big reason why the app store has become a runaway success.
So just how popular [...]

As the second beta for the 3.1 iPhone firmware rolls forward, I find myself wondering if the biggest issues will be addressed in this release? Some issues may be hardware specific, meaning that we have no real options for seeing them being fixed. But some of them are so glaringly sad, that not fixing them [...]
