A double-edged sword. That’s what the iPhone AppStore is fast becoming for Apple’s PR team. On the one edge, we have an incredibly popular and lucrative iPhone App Store that has seen something like 25,000 applications (6,000 of which are games) being offered to iPhone owners.

Apple sued over iPhone graphics rendering tech
Apple is no stranger to lawsuits involving its uber-popular iPhone and iPhone 3G smartphones. Generally speaking, iPhone lawsuits have little merit and are usually brushed off as frivolous.

While the iPhone 2,1…
Apple prepping video-recording for iPhone and iPhone 3G?
iPhone users have been clamoring for proper video-recording since the original iPhone launched in 2007. It’s sad that the iPhone is going on almost two years without vid-recording support.

For months now, we’ve been waiting for Apple to make good on their promise to bring push background notifications to the iPhone.
