This Friday, I was one of the million people to get a new iPhone 3GS. After getting through my activation issues I had some time to test out the new search feature on the iPhone, named Spotlight (from Apple OS).
The iPhone 3G and the new 3G S mobile phones are slick devices that are very popular. They both have integrated GPS capabilities, but Apple really didn't go all out to take advantage of the navigation capabilities of the device.
Today must be BlackBerry humor day. Jerry Seinfeld who performed at the Palm Pre launch VIP party/event, disses rude BlackBerry users who look at their BlackBerry smartphones during a a conversation in an interview with Conan O'Brien.
As with any computing system when it gets a major overhaul in its operating system (OS), the iPhone 3.0 has some remarkable features but there are some little things that need adjusting, even moreso if one has upgraded to the iPhone 3GS.
It's Day 3 of my week-long look at the new iPhone OS 3.0 and some updated apps with new features. We've looked at Push notifications and Spotlight already and today we'll look closer at text messaging (or SMS).
Owners of the current iPhone 3G that upgraded to the new iPhone OS 3.0 will know that this update brought a lot of handy features. Many of these users would not update to the new iPhone in 2009 thanks to the higher costs involved.
A few hours ago the iPhone Dev team released the redsn0w tool for jailbreaking your first-gen iPhone, the iPhone 3G, and the iPod touch first and second generation, while the iPhone 3G S has yet to be jailbroken. The unlock tool is available for Mac OS X and Windows, and it's available on torrents now. Please note that the redsn0w for Windows has been re-released due to a bug and it went live a few minutes ago while this article was being wrote.
You might think that there couldn?t be much to add to a phone that even has an electronic compass. But we?ve put together a list of five things that Apple left out.
If you read any technology news this week - or spent much time reading "Tweets" from friends on Twitter like I did - you may feel like you are missing Some Great Thing by not having an iPhone.
Thanks to improvements in the iPhone OS 3.0 software update released Wednesday, connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot with your iPhone or iPod touch should become almost as easy as roaming on the cellular network. Two new features radically improve the process of logging in (when you've already got an account with the Wi-Fi hotspot provider) and filling out information when it's required for free access. However, there are some catches, and-wouldn't you know it?-an incompatibility or two.
Since downloading the iPhone's new 3.0 OS, I've had a chance to try out pretty much everything and decide what I love and what I like (so far, nothing to hate).
It has been a crazy night trying to download the latest iPhone update, with many reporting that they are unable to access Apple's servers due to unusually high traffic. But Apple's servers are now up to scratch and everybody should have the 3.0 software update installed on their iPhone and iPod Touch.
Apple is scheduled to release its iPhone OS 3.0 software update today-according to industry rumors, the update will be available for download at 1:00 pm EST.
T-Mobile will unveil its second smartphone based on the Google Android mobile operating system sooner rather than later-possibly as early as next week.
TweetDeck for iPhone does what I thought was practically impossible: perfectly replicates the powerful column experience of the desktop TweetDeck on the iPhone, and in a surprisingly usable and snappy way.
Two of the biggest smartphone launches this year will be those of the Palm Pre and the iPhone 3G S. The Pre launched a few weeks back and the iPhone 3G s is set to burn up the doors at AT&T Friday. IGN has a comparison of the two phones, and on paper, they are surprisingly similar to each other.
