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. This is a much better phone than the Samsung Charge that I have, but it’s not the “iPhone 5″ that was buzzing around the interwebs. Siri Search, makes use of Yelp’s [...]
The latest, greatest version of Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, iOS 4.3, apparently has a hidden easter egg, a new “find my friends” feature, MacRumors has discovered.

Boom! Apple and Skype finally agree to allow Skype’s popular video chatting compatible with the iPhone. Amazing. The cats out in Cupertino are starting to cooperate with people now. Can you feel the love tonight? And it’s available IMMEDIATELY. We didn’t have to wait for CES or MacWorld! Holy sh#t! I heard of some rumblings [...]
There has been much speculation the past couple months on whether Apple and Verizon will announce a partnership on with the iPhone running on “America’s Most Reliable Network.” or whatever slogan they have, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January. The reason is, AT&T’s customer experience is consistently bad. Worse than [...]

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. The decision to allow the practice commonly known as “jailbreaking” is one of a handful of new exemptions from a 1998 federal law [...]
A Taiwanese news organization explains the Apple iPhone saga for those that aren’t up to date. One of the solutions to the antenna fix? Well, just watch the video. Via Gizmodo.
They say if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Well I’m doing nothing to help with bad AT&T service. In fact, I’m going to encourage it by buying another iPhone. So screw all of you people whining about dropped calls and slow internet.
The topic came up with a friend as of late as I gushed platelets over the True Blood premiere. His response: Vampires represent everything that is wrong with America. Ouch. Really? Sookie? Edward? Surely not Edward.

The iPhad empire. Only two or maybe three operating systems can hang with the top dog. Ok, maximum five are possibly real iPad competitors. Six then. That’s it! 2010 is shaping up to be the year of the tablet/pad/slates.
Read on for the major comparisons.
If true, does Apple even need to make computers anymore?
In a nutshell: Apple engineer has birthday (27), get’s tipsy, and leaves prototype iPhone at a German bar in the San Francisco Bay area. Finder attempts to give phone back to Apple. Apple doesn’t believe them. Finder contacts Gizmodo. Gizmodo pays 5K for phone. Reviews and dissects iPhone 4G. Apple asks for phone back. [...]
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a teardown of the potential iPhone 4G, revealing an updated exterior and a plethora of new features, such as a front-facing camera and a better still camera with a flash. It also has a larger battery and possibly a higher resolution display. The announcement is expected in late June with a release [...]
Fresh off the recent rumors that Omnivision is going to supply the upcoming iPhone with a 5MP camera module. The Street is reporting that Apple will use a Sony 8-megapixel camera for their 4G iPhone that is expected to be released in 2011.
Big news! iPhone OS4 is going to offer a slew or new and revolutionary features never seen on a smartphone. Plus, it will have better ads. Also, Steve Jobs didn’t want half of a cheese sandwich.
Job’s is your 21st century medicine man selling you sugar water at the street fairs. The Macintosh, Macbook, Ipod, Iphone….all novelties. Innovative, yes, but just enough to suck you simpletons in with “easy to navigate”, “simple to use,” and hop on the Apple truck.
ARM is the democratization of the CPU outside the Wintel paradigm. ARM has become the CPU of choice for mobile devices, and as the demarcation between mobile and immobile gets further eroded by devices like the iPad and Chrome OS, the ARM architecture has become the most viable x86 killer that has ever existed.
Android received yet another endorsement, this time from Martin Cooper – the inventor of the cellular telephone is the proud owner of a Motorola Droid. Although to his credit, he is always trying out new phones, and wanted to experience the Android OS, firsthand. Cooper was on C-SPAN last week where he talked about spectrum and [...]
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 [...]
Google is slowing catching up to Apple in the smartphone market.
Saw this over at Gizmodo: Through a slew of music generation apps, like DrumMeister, Bassist, iDrum, NlogSynthesizer, NESynth and iShred, plus photography software including a stop motion app and 5d2 (a remote for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR used for a few of the shots) and, of course, a laptop, PixieTea (and crew) [...]
TigerText, the new iPhone app encourages cheating. Talk about 21st century technology for an age old habit!
Great news for Ow.ly fans! I just downloaded Hootsuite for my Droid, and so far, it’s amazing! Thanks Hootsuite!
As iPhone, Droid, Blackberry and Palm continue to push smartphone development at an exponential pace, there continues to be glaring holes of opportunity in these devices that now occupy over 42% of American households. The rapid explosion in applications have pushed smartphones past the phone frontier, why we even call them phones at all anymore [...]
Picture yourself walking through Manhattan when your phone beeps at you, you have just received a text message from one of your favorite stores alerting you that not only are they having a sale but you are within a couple of blocks of one of their locations. Cool? I think so. More and more retailers [...]
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, [...]
Ordinarily, the cost to replace a lost 32GB iPhone is $700. Here is how I got my refurb black iPhone 3GS (32GB) replaced with a new white iPhone 3GS (32GB) for $300 with an option to upgrade my phone in November.
For the most part, I am a good mom. I make a special lunch for my kids to take to school every day, I am there to tuck them in at night, I do endless hours of crafts with my daughter and I know EVERYTHING about Star Wars for my son. That being said, I [...]
Apple, who believes that everyone in the real world (see outside of Cupertino) has hands like a Simpson character, has been granted a patent for multitouch capacitive screens. You can readt it here. “A touch panel having a transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at the same [...]
Wither Jailbreaking now that Sling is available over 3G, and Skype is coming soon?
