If there’s one thing that AT&T learned from last year’s EDGE network-overload, it’s that mobs and hoards of over-eager iPhone owners are apt to overload the No. 1 US wireless carrier’s data network. So, on the eve of the US iPhone 3G launch, AT&T has announced that it is “doubling” the capacity of their 3G…
Apple gets real with iPhone “Remote” application
As expected, the AppStore is showing Apple’s take on an iPhone-as-remote-control application. Dubbed, “Remote” (iTunes link), the native application, available through the AppStore gives users the ability to control iTunes directly through their iPhone. “Remote” is available for free and requires that your iPhone and iTunes-computer are hooked up to the same WiFi network. From…
Twitterific hits iPhone
We’ve been using all manner of iPhone applications to get our Twitter fix from time to time. Native applications, web-apps, it’s all good. Well, it’s about to get that much more “gooder.” With Apple already taking the wraps off its highly-anticipated AppStore ahead of the US iPhone 3G launch, IconFactory is offering their Twitterrific native…
Update to iTunes 7.7 and get jiggy with AppStore!
That’s right. AppStore is live, folks. Update your iTunes to v7.7 (just hit the “Check for updates” option) and you’ll find a shiny, new icon leading you down Apple cash-corridor.

Apple launches cloud-based push-computing with MobileMe
Not that cloud-computing is anything new, but Apple’s new MobileMe service has just taken off as the replacement to Apple’s .Mac information synchronization service. Announced last month as a complement to the iPhone 3G launch, MobileMe is expected to give on-the-go Mac users some push-emailing support. MobileMe allows you to keep all your data in…
First iPhone 3G hits market, gets dissected
It was inevitable. As soon as the first batch of Apple iPhone 3G hardware started to hit the streets, a few intrepid iPhone 3G fans from iFixit.com went down to New Zealand to land themselves a new iPhone 3G – with the goal of disassembling the phone and baring all those iPhone 3G guts for…
This might be wrong…
But there’s just something hilarious about the person who thought up this little “passage.” Apparently so enamored with the coming of Steve Jobs’ next-generation iPhone 3G, O2 forum user anthonyb found himself in Apple. “Our Steve, which art in Cupertino, hallowed be thy IPhone; thy corporation come; thy will be profitable, in 22 countries as…
AppStore launching with more than 500 iPhone apps!
It’s not just the iPhone 3G people wait, it’s also the long awaited AppStore. In case you already haven’t jailbroken your iPhone/iPod Touch (shame on you), you certainly have reasons to rejoice as you will finally be able to try out some of the native apps on your beloved handset/media player. According to the man…
G-Park lets the forgetful iPhone/iPod Touch users bookmark their car
G-Park is a neat, easy-to-use iPhone app that allows you to bookmark the place where you parked your car. Apparently (I haven’t tried it myself, yet), it will work on older iPhones, as well as on the iPod Touch. Since there’s no GPS receiver in the first-gen Apple’s handset and iPod Touch, the tracking relies…
Lextech’s all official with iRa, iPhone surveillance app
A month ago we posted an article about Lextex’s surveillance app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s been officially announced, it’s called iRa, and it brings the power of multiple live video feeds and direct camera pan-tilt-zoom control in the palm of your hand. iRa’s intuitive interface lets users to access multiple video feeds (from their…
