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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Ambrosia, the developer of one of my favorite applications, Snapz Pro X, has released an update for the extremely popular iPhone custom ringtone tool, iToner. iToner is a ringtone creation software application. If you’re an iPhone user who would like to have customized ringtones I recommend that you check out the iToner application.
I really enjoy [...]
Zoho is an office productivity suite that is entirely online, just like Google Docs, only with more stuff you can create (invoices, CRM, Projects). Raju and company recently redesigned the interface to work better with an iPhone. Writer, Creator, Sheet, and Show are supported. It looks pretty good, and works fairly well. When I [...]
As the WWDC gets closer they hype surrounding this event continues to build. Nearly everyone that has been following the news leading up to the WWDC expects Apple CEO Steve Jobs to announce the iPhone App Store and iPhone 2.0 software, not to mention the 3G iPhone. Rumors have been flying about the mysterious boxes [...]
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 [...]
Forbes has an interesting article up that claims that the DS needs to be fearful of the iPhone come June 9th. Brian Caulfield points out the features of the iPhone combine the motion sensitivity of the Wii with the touchscreen of the DS. While this may be true, I don’t see the iPhone becoming the [...]
Recently there has been a little buzz swirling about the fact that Apple is on pace to fall short of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008. Last week, a New York Times article noted, “After almost a year of strong sales that have made it one of the dominant smartphones in the United States, the iPhone [...]
Granted, the iPhone gets a lot of news any day of the week, but today the New York Times, Ars Technica, and Information Week are all raining on Apple’s parade, claiming that Jobs’ prediction of 10 million iPhones in 2008 was way beyond the mark. Macworld steps in with an article showing how it is [...]
I’ve had my iPhone for about 5 months now, and up until about 6 weeks ago it was pure bliss. Then suddenly my battery life started to go south, fast. When I first got the iPhone, I could easily go 2 to 3 days of moderate use without charging it. When the battery first started [...]
Using the directions feature of Google maps was an indispensable tool when I used to drive around town. Now that I moved to New York, I rely on the subways to get around and Gypsy Maps to tell me how.
I’m generally pretty lazy, so once I use Gypsy Maps to get directions somewhere, [...]
I was a bit worried when I found out about this story, but I should have seen it coming. Engadget reports that people who are purchasing refurbished iPhones (from Apple, no less) are able to recover old data off of the devices using some freely available tools.
I’ve had to take my iPhone in to the [...]
Gizmodo is “confirming” that Apple will release a 3G iPhone next month at WWDC. This is a fairly widely circulated rumor - Gizmodo isn’t saying anything new, but is just betting all of their chips that it’s true.
Leo Laporte has mentioned a couple of times (on his TWiT podcasts) that he believes the iPhone 3G [...]
Every year Engadget gives Readers’ Choice awards and Editors’ Choice awards for different gadget related items. Guess which company won the most awards? You’re right, Apple.
Here is the shortlist of Apple’s accolades:
iPhone won Best Gadget, Best Smartphone, and Most Anticipated Gadget (3G) for the editors and the readers.
The iMac won Best Desktop for both [...]
I live in New York, so I’m constantly losing my iPhone signal when I go onto the subway. Sometimes when I get off the train and I’m back in range of the phone still can’t find the network. Recently, my phone has randomly also been telling me “No Sim” even though it’s just been [...]
This June will mark the one-year anniversary of the original release of the iPhone (though it was announced several months prior). Many Apple fans are chattering that this June’s Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco will be the time and place to announce a “3G” version of the iPhone, with a new sleek black-colored plastic [...]
