There’s nothing like a minor point-update to the iPhone OS to play with our emotions, and Apple really knows how to play that game. The iPhone maker has rolled out iPhone OS 3.1.3 as what we’re hoping is the last minor update before we see iPhone OS 3.2, or even iPhone OS 4.0, rolling out…
iPhone Dev Team brings iPhone data tethering back to life with redsn0w 0.9.3
The iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1.2 firmwares have been jailbroken through various methods for some time now, but you may have noticed that you can no longer tether your iPhone.

New Windows Mobile 7 UX concepts leaked?
In the lead up to Mobile World Congress, there’s been a lot of talk about Microsoft bringing their latest and greatest Windows Mobile creation to Barcelona – Windows Mobile 7.

Is your Palm Pre Plus giving you wacky GPS performance?
The Palm Pre Plus was recently released as Verizon’s answer to webOS fans not willing to hop on Sprint’s network just for the Palm Pre. The Palm Pre plus looks and performs a lot like its Sprint predecessor, but nixes the home button and adds gobs more RAM. There’s also apparently another difference – the…
First AT&T, now Nexus One rumored for Sprint with 3G
The Nexus One and Google’s decision to sell it unlocked and contract-free will go a long way in fighting the iPhone, but Google’s premier Android phone is so far only available on T-Mobile’s network. You can try to use the Nexus One on AT&T, but you’ll only get slower EDGE data speeds – we don’t…
Steve Jobs rips into Google and Adobe, mentions next iPhone ‘update’
If there’s one thing we like about Steve Jobs, it’s that he isn’t afraid to go on the record to say how Apple is better than competitors like Google and disappointing tech companies Adobe. We can’t say we like his sense of style (or lack thereof), but Mr. Jobs probably doesn’t care what we think…

Apple earns $208 for every base iPad model they sell
Apple has proven with the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS that they know how to work profit margins. The iPhone maker enjoys the distinction of earning highest profits per smartphone sold, and it looks like they’ll be continuing that trend with the Apple iPad. A new report today indicates that the iPad will net Apple…
Adobe uses porn in anti-iPad campaign
In case you haven’t noticed, the Apple iPad runs a version of iPhone OS that is conspicuously missing support for Adobe Flash media. Despite being billed as the web-surfing tablet to rule them all, the iPad won’t be playing nice with any embedded Flash content. Adobe doesn’t like that. They don’t like that so much,…
