Rev your engines, technophiles, CTIA Wireless is next week…
This is the last hoo-rah before CTIA Wireless starting next Wednesday, and there’s plenty of news happening. Apple had a bit of a rough week from all angles – customer, developer and even patent-wise. For this week’s poll, we tap the developer problem on the shoulder: is it cool that Apple keeps its 30% cut and the developers have to cover whole refunds on their own? The majority of votes right now are leaning on the developer’s side, but go ahead and have your say after the jump. The giveaways also continue this week: just drop a comment (maybe even voicing your opinion on this iPhone App Store debacle) and you can win a free pair of Z.Buds from Zagg.
Polls, giveaways, and the week’s biggest news after the jump!
Music by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, as featured on Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone.

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
