The Twitterati are stocking their bomb shelters with Twinkies in preparation for the "Twitpocalypse," the time at which the number of tweets sent passes the 2,147,483,647 mark, which is the maximum value of a 32-bit signed integer (technically, it's one-half of 2 to the 32nd, minus 1). Each Twitter message has a unique identifier based on that counter.

If you own an iPhone (or iPod Touch), chances are you've played Tapulous' "Tap Tap Revenge," a touch-screen and motion-controlled riff on videogaming's booming music genre. Apple recently revealed that "Revenge" is the third most popular free application on its App Store, and Tapulous Chief Executive Bart Decrem says half a million people play it every week since it debuted last summer.

Apple's facing new legal action over data speeds on the iPhone 3G. A man from New Jersey says the company isn't living up to its promise of superfast surfing - and now, he's demanding action. His lawsuit makes for more than half a dozen network-related complaints filed against Apple in America's courts.

Can a man with a tiny electronic device hack into the multitude of jumbo screens in Times Square and play videos from his iPhone? Maybe, if you believe a YouTube video that has been watched by more than half a million viewers in the last four days.

The second half of 2010 could finally bring a much-anticipated Verizon Wireless iPhone. A new hybrid chip developed by Qualcomm makes it possible to communicate with several different network technologies using only one component.

In what reads like a strategic leak from Apple's (AAPL) Cupertino boardroom, the Wall Street Journal reports in its Saturday edition that Steve Jobs - half-way through a six-month medical leave - still "maintains [his] grip" on the company from his Palo Alto, Calif., home.

I've owned my Droid X since it came out, and I simply love it. I can't imagine having a different phone. I feel it surpasses the iPhone in a few ways. For one, it has a bigger and sharper screen. If you're planning to play games, watch movies or shows, this is the phone for you. It might not seem like it's "that much" bigger, but it is and it makes a difference. The screen is sharp enough that I watch Netflix and HBO shows on my phone all the time (did I mention the WiFi is strong enough on the phone for this to be possible?). Also, a lot of people think they simply must have their music on their iPods. Once I got this phone, I sold my old iTouch. Are iPods better at handling music then the Droid X? Yes. But is it a significant upgrade? No, not at all. The music quality is the exact same, so the only difference is the interface. It's very easy to get the music from your computer onto the phone as well, simply a drag and drop process. Having owned the phone for almost a year and half, I have to say that the battery has declined over time. When I got the phone, the battery life was about 8-10 hours using it somewhat throughout the day. Now that is about 5-7 hours of heavier use. Even so, I still love this phone and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

To be honest, I don't really care which is the better smartphone (or super-duper phone): the iPhone 3GS, the Motorola Droid, HTC's Droid Eris, Google's Nexus One, Nokia's N900 or the Palm Pre.

With the recent release of the iPhone 3GS, a new wave of users is getting acquainted with Apple's popular mobile device. Those new iPhone owners must also choose from hundreds of applications, many of which border on the absurd.

Using the iPhone in the winter tends to be an arduous experience. With your gloves on, you can't operate the phone, not even to answer a call. But with your gloves off, your hands get unpleasantly chilled. A while back we wrote a story about iPhone gloves.

People still speculate that Apple will release a netbook. I think this is more from hope rather than evidence-supported speculation - currently, anyway, Apple's position is that the iPhone and iPod touch are both functionally netbooks already.
