Apple’s iPhone 3G launch was admittedly less than a smooth sailing operation. iPhone 3G hopefuls are still lining up for hours to get a chance at owning a piece of Apple-history. MobileMe users have only recently gotten their push data service up and running acceptably. The iPhone 2.0.1 OS has just been released (and the…

Motorola Atila – Moto’s touchscreen answer to Apple’s iPhone 3G
Meet the Motorola Atila. This here all-touchscreen handset is reportedly Motorola’s touchy-feely answer to Apple’s iPhone 3G. The Motorola Atila is apparently borne of the same gene pool that created the Motorola Alexander. Thankfully, the Motorola Atila that you see pictured here nixes that too-weird sliding QWERTY keyboard on the Motorola Alexander. The Motorola Atila…
Did Apple borrow their iPhone3G design from Samsung’s LCD TVs?
(Before I begin – apoogies for the poor quality photo – this is from my supposedly excellent 5MP Mobile camera!) The other day I was stood looking at our Samsung LCD TV, and something struck me – it looks ALOT like a new iPhone turned on it’s side – scarily so in fact. The only…
Apple looking to infinite iPhone and iPhone 3G storage capacity – Stream media from desktop iTunes library
The iPhone and iPhone 3G have been and are offered with storage capacities of 16GB at most. While many will find the 16GB is more than enough to store all their music, pictures, emails, and a good chunk of their video library, there are those out there with media libraries that can easily eclipse the…
iPhone application installations and updates causing “Apple Logo Screen of Death”
Windows users are likely familiar with the dreaded and all-too-prevalent “Blue Screen of Death.” Heck, even Bill Gates hit that infamous BOD snafu during a high-profile keynote. But, Apple’s products have traditionally been viewed as being a bit more stable and crash-immune. That is, until now. Scattered reports are coming in that point towards iPhones…
Apple can blacklist and remotely disable applications on your iPhone
Sounds a bit Orwellian, doesn’t it? The idea that some corporate entity can monitor the applications installed on your iPhone and remotely disable blacklisted apps just seems wrong. But, newly discovered code within the iPhone 2.0 OS and the newer iPhone 2.0.1 OS has confirmed that Apple has built a blacklisting mechanism in to the…
Apple’s lack of respect for iPhone customer wishes pushes jailbreak market to new levels
Apple’s getting better at considering their customer’s wishes and feelings with regard to the company’s services and products. They’ve embraced responsibility for the MobileMess and Steve Jobs even owned up to botching the launch. That’s a great first move from a company that has traditionally been the most locked-down and cold-shouldered company in the tech…
Apple releases iPhone 2.0.1 OS through iTunes
If you’ve recently purchased an iPhone 3G, or upgraded your original iPhone to the iPhone 2.0 OS, you’ll probably already have logged in some serious time with the AppStore and all the new features (like improved web surfing) that make the iPhone 2.0 OS so much more usable than previous versions. You’re also likely well…

Apple has announced that Apple Stores that normally open at 10AM will now open…
