During today’s announcement by Apple for the iPhone 4S, their website totally crashed. And I mean “Crashed”. It was down for a little over an hour. And after Apple announced that the iPhone 4S was going to be available on the Sprint Network. Boom, Sprints Phone page crashes… and it’s been crashed for about 2 [...]
Today at Cupertino, Apple had it’s first post-Jobs era product launch. Apple announced 2 things really. The iPhone 4S and the Siri, Assistant Search.

Owners of the iPhone will be able to legally unlock their devices so they can run software applications that haven’t been approved by Apple Inc., according to new government rules announced Monday.

Android received yet another endorsement, this time from Martin Cooper – the inventor of the cellular telephone is the proud owner of a Motorola Droid.

With Mashable reporting that we could see upwards of 50 different Tablets being released this year I thought it might be good to tell these companies what the “perfect” Tablet would be, in my eyes. I think that Apple missed the target a bit, which could be blamed on too much hype or just high [...]

I want to start this by saying that I am very fond of the people over at Mashable and have nothing but respect for them. Not to mention that it is always a treat to see Pete Cashmore’s adorable face flowing through my Twitter stream, but I’m not impressed with the Mashable Iphone app. Now, [...]
