We love us some juicy 3G iPhone rumors. As with most things Apple, there’s nothing from Cupertino that would indicate that this latest report from CNBC’s Jim Goldman has any more credibility than any other “report” that cites “inside sources.” But, Goldman believes that the 3G iPhone will hit the US market in late May,…
AT&T and Verizon agree to tap each other’s assets

So, what’s the only thing that can get the two biggest rivals in the US wireless market to work together? Mutually beneficial business arrangements, of course. You see, the FCC laid down a couple…
iPhone gets native MMS!
It feels like we’re always complaining of the lack of MMS (that’s picture-messaging for the lay-folks) on our iPhones. But, we have to admit that we never really used picture messaging on any phone, or smartphone, in the past, and we don’t miss its absence on the iPhone. But hey, it’s fun to knock Cupertino…
How-To: Add third-party sources to your iPhone’s Installer.app
I recently found myself needing to add a third-party repository to my iPhone’s Installer.app “Sources” list.

We love Samsung’s slider-phone offerings – they’re just so darn sleek and sophisticated. And, it looks like Samsung has introduced yet another super-slick slider on their Russian site.

AT&T busts doors wide open – announces open network to allow ‘any device, any app’
In the wireless industry, the best weapon any one carrier has against their rivals is the mighty pen. Well, it’s more like the “mighty keyboard,” but you get the point.

Belkin and Kodak team up to automatically pull pictures off your cameraphone
When it comes to getting your precious pictures transferred from your mobile phone to your computer, there’s more than one way to skin this, umm, cameraphone. The one problem with all those picture-transferring options is that you have to actually finagle-around with USB-cables and software. Enter Belkin and Kodak. The two companies have teamed up…
Wirelessly synchronize your iPhone – iPhone iSync promises to bring WiFi-based iTunes sync
Synchronizing all your contacts, calendar items, bookmarks, music, and photos from your Mac to your iPhone is just about as simple a process as you could ask for.

France’s Orange sells 30,000 iPhones in first few days
As much as we love to make fun of the French, they really seem to know what they’re doing. They’re food is amazing (seriously, has any seen Ratatouille?), their fashion is cutting-edge, and their taste is impeccable – the Frenchies apparently have the same taste in handsets that sparked feverish iPhone sales in the States.…
