I remember standing in line last year for the iPhone. It was a momentous occasion. There was excitement in the air and people just having a great time waiting for 6 PM when the iPhone went on sale. People were camped out in lawn chairs and owners of shops came out to see what the [...]
It’s been a bit of a rocky start for MobileMe’s launch. First, the launch window was pushed back two hours. Then once MobileMe was launched, it was taken offline repeatedly (Server overload? Some last-minute bug fixing? Who knows). And when it was up, the Mail web app still wasn’t working. Finally, this morning it [...]
The past two days were supposed to be one of the biggest launches in Apple history in terms of the number of big products being released. Unfortunately the launch has been anything but smooth.
Four different products were scheduled to be launched in the past 2 days: MobileMe, App Store, 3G iPhone, and an update to [...]
Flipswap is a service that allows you to send in your old phone for free and get paid for it. They send your old phone to another country where someone less fortunate will be able to use it (while also covering shipping both ways). They will put your phone in a happy place:
If [...]
With the launch of the iPhone 3G, the App store, and hopefully MobileMe, coming this Friday, many people are getting excited. We would be remiss if we didn’t at least speculate about the surprises that might come when you open that 3G iPhone box.
One of the biggest surprises could come to developers who are [...]
After reading some of posts around the ‘Net about iPhone 3G pricing, I started to get worried. As a current iPhone owner and AT&T customer, I was really excited about the price drop. Then I heard from multiple sources that current AT&T customers who are not qualified for an upgrade would have to pay $399 [...]
Connected Flow, makers of the crunchy goodness that is FlickrExport (casts pix from iPhoto or Aperture to Flickr) has jumped the shark a bit and pre-announced Exposure, a forthcoming iPhone application that will bring Flickr to your iPhone or iPod Touch in ways that Mobile Safari just cannot.
Exposure will integrate with the built-in features of [...]
In the WWDC ‘08 keynote addressSteve Jobs announced that the iPhone 3G would be available for $199. Naturally this was a cause of excite for many who were looking to purchase the iPhone. The news also caused speculation because many believed that it would be difficult to get an iPhone to use with another carriet. [...]
July 11, 2008 is a significant date for those planning to purchase one of the hottest mobile phones available. The iPhone 3G officially goes on sale. If you are a current iPhone user who will be upgrading to the iPhone 3G you might have wondered what to do with your old iPhone.
AT&T is offering an [...]
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 [...]
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,” [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
With my first international flight I traveled to Reykjavik, Iceland. I wish I had the freedom to choose what I wanted. The selections that the [...]
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 [...]
When you buy the new iPhone, are you going to jailbreak it? Are you really a closet Windows fanboy? If you answered yes to each of these questions, then the VistaPerfection 2.0 iPhone Theme by Spec Works was created just for you.
It is very customizable with:
Over 90 icons
Dock
WiFi icon
Boot and restore images

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 [...]
