Google Talk Comes to the iPhone

Written on July 03, 2008 by Matt Radel and 3 people have commented

One of the notable shortcomings of the iPhone is the lack of a chat client. Oh sure, SMS looks like iChat - but we all know that you’re really paying for each of those messages you’re shooting off. So we could wait for Apple to open up a true chat client…or just let Google do [...]

Apple Says “No Thanks” to Intel

Written on July 02, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 2 people have commented

Although the speculation was rampant when Apple bought PA Semi earlier this year, Intel made it official: there will not be Intel processors in the iPhone.
Intel is preparing more x86 versions of their processors for mobile devices, and “Apple chose not to take that road map at their next generation of platform…That was disappointing,” [...]

Securely Delete Data on iPhone 2.0

Written on June 30, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 1 person has commented

I have always been nervous about syncing my contacts and pictures to my iPod because they would be accessible by other people if I ever lost it, or it was stolen. I also have never sold a used iPod for the same reason.
That is why I was excited when Steve Jobs announced at the [...]

Response to Unanswered App Store Questions

Written on June 27, 2008 by Todd Baur and 2 people have commented

I read an article this morning highlighting some very peculiar questions regarding how developers interact with customers via the iPhone/iPod Touch App store. I read all of them and the answers seemed so clear that I don’t know why Apple hasn’t answered them officially. Perhaps they will in the next two weeks, or there are [...]

Review: Replug

Written on June 24, 2008 by Jason Terhorst and 4 people have commented

I recently got my hands on an interesting device, the Replug. The design of the Replug is meant to work much like a MagSafe connector does - give it a pull, and it pops out safely. But this is a headphone adapter. If you’ve ever had your computer yanked to the floor by a [...]

Apple Tech Support Trials Begets Better iPhone Headset + License Woes

Written on June 23, 2008 by Bob Rudis and 6 people have commented

It’s been quite a while since my last post due in large part to my dead MacBook Pro. Perhaps, unstable would have been a better choice of words as my trusty 15″ developed a very nasty power issue where it would just randomly power off without warning. The instability made it impossible to do any [...]

Ready, Aim, FIRE!

Written on June 19, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 4 people have commented

With all the success of the amazing MacBook Air and iPhone, Apple has set itself up squarely in the sights of companies competing for svelte design.
When the MacBook Air was announced, the Lenovo Thinkpad camp was quick to point out that the X300 was better, weighing in at 2.93. Now, Toshiba claims that their [...]

United Airlines is rolling out a new feature for its first-class and business customers. iPhone and iPod users will be able to view their own personalized entertainment when flying internationally.

iPhone Banking

Written on June 17, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 4 people have commented

Last year, Bank of America launched its mobile banking service, which as their website name claims, allows you to bank from anywhere. (You can even watch the uber-cheesy videos that explain it if you want.) Last week Bank of America announced that it has hit over 1 million unique, active users, with 4 million account [...]

It is very customizable with:

The cheaper iPhone 3G will cost users more; AT&T raises monthly fee

Written on June 12, 2008 by Opal Tribble and 24 people have commented

The iPhone 3G has finally arrived; people are giddy with the vastly reduced price. What a sweet deal. Imagine getting one of the most talked about iPhones starting at the low price of $199 for the iPhone 3G 8 GB, and $299 for the iPhone 3G 16GB, Not bad, not bad at all! The [...]

iPhone as Part of Back-to-School Rebate?

Written on June 11, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 2 people have commented

I figured that with the steep reduction in price of the iPhone ($199 and $299, the same price as an 8GB iPod Nano and 8GB iPod Touch, respectively), Apple might be willing to allow students and faculty members the opportunity to buy an iPhone and get the rebate as part of their most excellent Back-to-School [...]

Save .Mac Bookmarks!

Written on June 10, 2008 by Nick Mediati and 6 people have commented

While there’s an awful lot to like about MobileMe (tight iPhone integration, web apps that look like they’re going to be awesome—this second point is big considering I usually dislike web apps), there are some parts of .Mac we’ll have to say goodbye to. Here’s an excerpt from the MobileMe FAQ:
Are any other .Mac features affected?
As [...]

One step closer to GarageBand in your pocket

Written on June 09, 2008 by Iyaz Akhtar and 2 people have commented

About a year ago, I mentioned how eventually you could have GarageBand in your pocket thanks to the iPhone. Today, we’re one step closer with Beatmaker and Band, two new applications for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
There were some critics of this idea since the total capabilities of the iPhone were not fully [...]

3G iPhone: It’s what comes in the box that counts

Written on June 09, 2008 by Jenny Kortina and 14 people have commented

While looking at the new 3G iPhone I happened to check out what came in the box and was estactic to see a new much needed item.

That’s right, it looks like the new iPhone comes with a special tool for removing the SIM. In my world we call it a paperclip, but to Apple [...]

Will Apple cave to mobile operators pressure; iPhone selling for $200 or less?

Written on June 08, 2008 by Opal Tribble and 4 people have commented

A turn off for some people who drooled over the iPhone was the price. Yes they wanted it, but they weren’t willing to drop $399 for the iPhone 8G, and they wouldn’t even think about paying $499 for the iPhone 16GB. I know people like that, thing is the people I knew could easily [...]

As the WWDC gets closer they hype surrounding this event continues to build.

Spy shots show OS X without the ‘Mac’; could clones return?

Written on June 05, 2008 by Nick Mediati and 55 people have commented

No run-up to Macworld Expo or WWDC is complete without the spy shots of the banners inside San Francisco’s  Moscone Center, and this time is no different. No making the rounds is a Flickr photoset of banners hung outside the keynote hall posted by Gernot Poetsch. One in particular is especially interesting. It shows two banners: one referring to [...]
