The iPhone user interface is at once visually appealing and incredibly intuitive. But, as much as I love the iPhone interface, especially that on-screen keyboard (the combination of capacitance multi-touch and predictive text allows me to type at 30 wpm – how do you compare?), there are bound to be improvements with the next-generation iPhone.…

iPhone lacks 802.1x support – sign this petition to make Apple support it
So, add this to the list of features that the iPhone is missing. It seems that the iPhone won’t play nice with the college/university-favorite 802.1x network access control standard. The 802.1x IEEE standard is used to secure wireless networks and filter access to the network. Fortunately, there’s this here petition to help convince Apple to…
“Missing” iPhones are actually good for Apple
We’ve neglected from giving any credibility to iPhone naysayers that are jumping with glee and laughing giddily at Apple’s alleged mis-reporting of iPhone sales figures. There have been reports of late that Apple’s iPhone sales figures were off by almost 1 million units. Apple’s 4 million unit sales figure for the iPhone is by no…

Apple’s done quite well for itself with the iPhone. They’ve moved millions upon millions of the heralded handset, and they’re rolling in revenue-dough. Now there’s a report, from the Chinese-language Economic Daily News, that Apple has reduced its Q2 iPhone orders from 2 million to 1.0-1.2 million – about half the expected amount of Q1…
Apple considering bringing iPhone to Thailand?
With Apple’s China-bound iPhone aspirations reportedly on the ropes (or not, depending on who you talk to), it makes sense for Apple to look to other Asian markets that might do well to launch an iPhone. Well, Apple could very well be looking to the Thailand as the next mobile market to get blessed with…
Video recording on jailbroken iPhones – Take that, Apple!
We’ve been whining about a few things on the iPhone for some time now. You would have thought that all the high-pitched grovelling would have prompted Apple to include video recording, iChat, or at least MMS in one of the previously released firmwares (v1.1.3 included). Alas, Apple doesn’t seem to give a lick what we…
Problems with Apple’s iPhone v1.1.3 firmware; wacky SMS text messaging bug with iPhone v1.1.3, Bluetooth sync bug, mail problems, iBricks
We were stoked to hear that Apple finally decided to bring the SMS text message interface up to par with every other text messaging application on market.

Apple still in talks with China Mobile over iPhone?
What is this? One side of the story claims that negotiations are dead, the other side says that the “rumors” of iPhone-talk breakdowns are just not true. Steve Jobs told CNBC‘s Jim Goldman that Apple is still very interested in bringing the iPhone to China (of course they are, China’s population is huge!), and that…
