Apple looking into iPhone OS 3.1 battery drain reports
Apple’s latest iPhone OS 3.1 update was initially welcomed with open arms. The new iPhone OS promised genius mixes, phone number copy/paste, improved video editing, remote lock (via MobileMe) and better Exchange support.

iTwinge hard-keyboard makes your iPhone ugly
The iPhone’s on-screen keyboard is either crazy convenient or arduously awkward. iPhone owners that have mastered tap-typing at 40 words per minute probably have little to no complaints over having to type on a glass touchscreen.
