What, you didn’t expect Apple to release a new iPhone firmware today? That’s okay, it took us by surprise, too. Apple has today released their latest iPhone OS update that takes your iPhone 2.2 OS all the way up to iPhone 2.2.1 OS. The new iPhone firmware version brings little more than incremental updates and…
Apple accessories: modular, and pricey!
As many of you who regularly read these pages may know, I’ve been porting over to Apple – part of that has been the painful process of find the best accessories. I say pain, because first of all you need to ID the right accessory (of which there is often more than one option), and…
Music on my iPhone: week commencing 26/1
So here’s another semi-regular post on what’s playing on my iPhone this week – as a regular consumer of digital music on Mobile devices, I thought I’d share some thoughts on the tracks I have been downloading. (note: all my music is paid-for and comes through iTunes – but you can find these tracks on…
Apple Successfully Patents Multitouch, Palm Cringes
The other day Palm snarled back at Apple for suggesting they were ripping off iPhone IP, but now Apple is armed with a big fat multitouch and swipe gestire patent which could smack Palm right in the face. The new Palm Pre, announced at CES a few weeks ago, featured some very familiar looking pinching…
iPhone Emoji icons for everyone! New iPhone app enables Emoji outside Japan
Emoji icons might not be high on your list of essential mobile phone features, but hop the Pacific to Japan and you’re in for a world of hurt without those cutesy little “picture letters” to help you express a ridiculous range of emotions and situations. Apple recently enabled Emoji icons on Japanese iPhone 3Gs with…

Rocketship Apple: docked, and porting data!
So finally, after the long-winded process that has been the porting from Microsoft over to Apple at home (both computer and mobile), I’d say we are virtually there! Right now, on a weekly basis, it’s a training process to how the various data can be ported from, to, and between the platforms, and applications that…
Review #3: Apple iPhone 3G case – Sena Ultraslim (black)
Those of you that read IntoMobile regularly will know that I’ve had trials and tribulations with cases for the iPhone. I’ve been through solid cases, pouches, display protectors, and frankly – they all make the iPhone look terrible – the operator-approved case even scratched my iPhone!! So it was with great trepidation that I ordered…
Review #2: Apple iPhone composite video cable
Yep, so I’ve been on a bit of a buying spree – and I gotta say, buying accessories is definitely a bit of wallet-basher! The composite cable for the iPhone/iPod is near to £30, which is incredibly harsh for any (mobile) cable. Having said that, you do get £20 worth of charger/USB cable included, so…
Review #1: Apple iPhone 3G dock
Nice. Very nice. So, the first of the new items I had ordered, which arrived, was Apple’s 3G dock. Now this isn’t a new item, but, it’s one of those items that at £19, you might well have considered, and thought twice about. However, I’m relieved to say it’s really rather good. One of the…
