I really wanted to test this battery out in a real situation. I took the phone up to full charge last night and left it in the charger until I was heading out to the mall.

In my car, I do not have a charger that works. I played music from my library on the way [...]

I literally JUST got my iPhone 3G. They only had White left so I dared to be different. Here are some notes on things I noticed before it’s even done restoring.
1. My Belkin car charger / amplifier is not compatible. I love this charger because it plays the sound from the usb / power port [...]

At least it didn’t for me. You probably want this update however. Just install it over the top. It deleted my profile pic and moved the icon to the last spot on my last page, BUT, a SIGN OUT button was added. I couldn’t believe they released 1.0 without this button. It’s damn near life [...]

I emailed Contourcase asking when my one and only favorite case the Showcase would be available for 3g iPhones and here is the response i got.
“This is Matt from Contour.
The Showcase for iPhone 3G will be ready sometime in earlyAugust.

5. Reception issues and rumors - I held my iPhone up with someone else’s 3g and mine had 5 bars and his 3g had 2 bars. Mix that with rumors that this could be a known issue and Apple possibly holding off on replenishing stock until “this” is fixed.
4. Peace of mind - The longer [...]

Today, as I count 37 new apps, games, and updates in the iTunes app store, Twittervision is the one I’m most interested in downloading. Twittervision is a location based twitter map of the world. Seems like a cool app so far especially for you twitterholics and locationbasedservicesaholics.
Check it out!

If you’re like me you KNOW that Twinkle is THE twitter app for the iPhone. It has been missing from the app store. I decided to contact the good people at Tapulous to get the hot scoop on what’s going on and here is what I received.

Free free to blog that it has [...]

 UPDATE: In an interesting twist of fate, the last.fm app was launched earlier today in the app store. This iteration is slightly nerfed in that it is missing features such as lyrics, tagging, and background scroblling from the iPod app. Still minus these features, it’s still a very solid app and with it, there is [...]

I was very happy with my jailbroken iPhone. I was using more apps than I ever had. Today, as I browse the iPhone App Store (just search for AOL in iTunes 7.7), I realize, at least on Day One and the immediate short term, I am giving up certain things, hopefully not [...]

I find that following somewhere around 50 people on Twitter is a “sweet spot”. I don’t like to follow to many people because I inevitably miss things. It’s hard enough forgetting to check my replies. I miss enough of those as it is.
There are so many ways to connect to social networking, microblogs, and other [...]
