As I begin writing this post, I am watching the live coverage of the Apple press conference where they are talking about what is coming with Iphone 3.0. First of all, why does this matter on a computer site? Simple. The Iphone IS a computer. It is so much more than a phone. Don’t underestimate the impact this one device is having and will have on the future...

I really find it humorous when I read articles like this basically insinuating that Dell can’t build a decent small computer, and in this case a SmartPhone. From the linked article above, the tail of it states this: Still, would you buy a Dell smartphone? What kind of features should MePhone have in order to convince you to chose it over an iPhone,...

While I am not an iPhone user (I am still happy with my ancient flip phone), I am sure many of our readers here are. So for you iPhone users, I thought I would pass along an article on Wired you might want to take a look at: 10 Most Awesome iPhone Apps of 2008. The article outlines different applications, most are free with the rest $3 and under. Most of the...

The Iphone is just cool. Calling it a phone is almost a disservice because what it really is is a full mobile computing platform. And in that vein, it can also be a mobile GAMING platform. Now, I’m not a big gamer (my regular readers know that). But, I did spend a little time playing around in the App Store looking for some decent free games for the...

I am in my second week of owning and using an Iphone 3G and I’m really liking it. Yes, I’m a nerd, so this phone strokes all the right places (that sounded weird). And nothing shows this more than how I put the phone to use on Saturday as I spent a day away from the office with my wife and daughter. Let me illustrate:Got up and went to the gym....

A report has resurfaced today from Daily Mail that Apple is working on releasing an Iphone Nano before Christmas. This is pure rumor, and could very likely be pure BS. Since when has Mail Online become a source for breaking news about Apple? But, they “broke” the story and it is currently taking up a lot of space over at Techmeme. Because it has to...

The Iphone is the cool gadget of the times. And proof of that is that when I wanted to go look at (buy ) one recently I found that both Tampa Apple stores and all local AT&T stores were out of the Iphone 3G. Damn. But, the device is not without issues and one of those issues is battery life.The new Iphone 3G is said to be worse than the original when it...

Man, it has to be embarrassing when a company so colossally screws up the message. This is what happened this morning when it came out that AT&T was going to offer free wireless access to all Iphone users at the more than 17,000 AT&T wifi hotspots across the country. Excitement mounted at sites like Iphone Alley and Gear Diary. The only problem...

The team over at Autoblog acquired an iPhone 3G that touts new GPS features and tested it out. The verdict can be easily figured out just by the title of their post: Should’ve bought a Garmin? Testing the iPhone 3G’s GPS capabilities Before telling you the worst about iPhone 3G GPS, every single thing I knew was going to suck about GPS on the iPhone...

A system called UConnect Web will be available as a $500 option (cheaper than a sunroof option) in its ’09 models. As far as how many models is indeterminate. Along with the one-time $500 cost is $29 a month for the service. This will probably be best used in rental cars as a “cool” option, but for the rest of us.. eh. More info here. For those...

If you happen to be an iPhone user you may find this of interest: ThinkFree has a demo of their mobile suite specifically tailored for the iPhone. Personally I think this is pretty darned cool because TF has one of the best online office suites I’ve ever used. It’s one of the very few web services that performs as good as it looks. Make sure to check...

A few days ago, I talked about the Iphone and officially declared that I wanted to buy one. I was, of course, weighing out the true cost of the phone when you consider the early termination fees I would have to pay with Alltel. I have not yet decided how I want to play that one out come July 11th. Apparently, I horrified one of our regular readers. Reese (known...

With last week’s announcement of the Iphone 2.0 (due to be released on July 11th), I was yet again pondering the thought of switching to the Iphone. The Iphone is very revolutionary for the smartphone market. The interface is amazing. The fact that almost anyone can actually use the features of the Iphone is amazing. Anybody with a Windows Mobile phone can...

There have been some GTA IV images posted where in the game you see a company called “Fruit.” One a Fruit’s products is the iFruit Phone. The “ad” states: The above says: No buttons.No reception.No storage capacity.All ego. I couldn’t have said it better myself. See source link below for bigger photos. (By the way, I still...

It has been a dream for quite some time that Mobile phones become a true extension to our computer. That dream hasn’t been a reality. Even when you do have a smart phone that can get online, the interface was clunky and you couldn’t just add/remove apps as you wanted. The cell phone carrier dictates what you can and cannot do with your phone. And if...

AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has filed for a patent for for an Iphone interface for instant messaging. The filing makes the interface seem very similar to the SMS messaging interface already available on the Iphone. Instant messaging has been a highly requested feature for the Iphone since it came out. There is a version of AOL instant messenger for the...

Apple’s Steve Jobs says that Adobe’s Flash Player is not suited for the Iphone. Basically he says that that Flash performs too slowly on the Iphone because the Player was designed for more robust devices. This is a real kick in the twins for Iphone users as well as for Adobe. Apple isn’t really talking to Adobe about it, either, as indicated by...

According to a story on AppleInsider, Apple exec Tim Cook recently said that the iPhone isn’t destined to remain a single-carrier phone, even if it does make business sense for Apple. "We’re not married to any business model," Cook explained. "What we’re married to is shipping the best phones in the world." This could be a...
