iPhone

Okay, I am lost here. Why is RadioShack going to be selling the iPhone? How in the heck is this any good to the consumer? Ah, it actually leaves them largely unaffected as we are still stuck with the same old AT&T network until Verizon gets things finalized.
So once again, why would anyone care about [...]

If you own a TV, you have seen the countless commercials by AT&T’s biggest competitor hitting them with everything they have. And who can blame the,. just a few years ago they were in hot water as they lacked the iPhone while AT&T could provide it.
Today the playing field is fast becoming less about the [...]

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 [...]

The grand idea of the Apple Tablet becoming the next big eBook reader might not happen the way many of us thought according to this piece. Apparently this is simply not a market in which Apple wishes to spend much time with.
At the same time, with the video and music market already having Apple’s boot [...]

Honestly feeling bad for the Chinese consumers who are excited at the prospect of finally having access to the iPhone. Why? Because it is going to be lacking a big feature. No Wifi.
I cannot even wrap my head around not having access to wifi with my iPhone. I say this as the 3G access on [...]

Android is not nor will it likely ever be a threat to the iPhone. This being said, I do see it as a significant threat to Windows Mobile. See, enterprise users that want a true Enterprise level phone are likely either going to use the BlackBerry or setup an iPhone with as many enterprise ready [...]

I rarely agree with Scoble much on tech issues. However this article illustrates one instance where I believe he is spot on. These days, it is the most used applications that win the mobile game. Clearly for more and more people, this means the iPhone.
Take the Amazon Kindle app for instance. Until the Kindle comes [...]

Seems like Apple is really out to stop jailbreaking no matter how many people it may tick off. Then again, it is their device, they make it very clear that it is NOT open in any way. So blocking jailbreaking should not shock many.
What will eventually happen is enough people will find this unacceptable and [...]

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 [...]

Lately I have NOT been in love with my iPhone’s constant memory leaks or the given network available for us in the U.S. Regardless, the folks over at J.D. Power have shown that smartphone owners are happier people.
The areas in which the iPhone was specifically awarded high marks generally seemed accurate. However in the section [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Have to admit, this does present a strong argument for Apple being seriously interested in diving feet first into the portable gaming market. And i their minds, what better way to get their than with the iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch onward?
The problem is that others have previously tried and failed. The Nokia N-Gage is one example [...]

Seems to me that the WebOS powered device from Palm just found itself in a world of music related hurt. With the okay from an industry source, Apple was again given the green light to continue blocking the Pre.
What I found so comical about all of this is how limited the folks at Palm are [...]

Reading this article with great interest, I found it interesting how some people are taking the realities of the OS 3.1 update on the iPhone and how it affects some exchange users.
While it is going to be a massive problem for MS Exchange situations not providing a working sync anymore, I am not entirely sure [...]

I would agree that Apple does have a sense of what consumers are looking for in a product. Don’t believe there is really any disputing this, considering the success of the iPod, iPhone, etc. But for a past Apple exec to take his lessons from Apple and to apply then over at Palm, might not [...]

For many Apple fans, access to a local Apple store means near instant access to help with stuff like activating an iPhone. But taking it a step further through the inclusion of an “activation center” located right there in the Apple store, is likely something dreams are made of with regard to convenience.
On the flip [...]

Came across an interesting article looking into what it means to have a iPhone app featured in the top section(s) of the app store. One might think that being featured instantly translates into fame and fortune for the company that has their app in the limelight.
Sadly, there is much more to be considered here. bandwidth, [...]

In what I consider to be the ultimate of customer betrayal, Apple is being said to show a high likelihood of sticking it out with AT&T despite the company potentially being one of the most hated mobile providers here in the states right now.
As Apple continues to play nice with a company who has some [...]

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 [...]
