I’ve had my iPhone 3G for awhile now. When I first got it, I wanted to do a review of some of my favorite apps. Months passed. Summer turned to fall. There was still no review. But then, how could there be? I was still learning the territory, and there’s a lot to learn. iTunes [...]
Since Woz spouted off about the death of the iPod in an interview yesterday, some pundits are all a-twitter about what this means for the world’s favorite media player. While I can’t argue with the fact that the devices have become commoditized to within an inch of being useless (the change from Wolfson Audio to [...]
The recent fiasco about Apple limiting an application on iTunes’ AppStore is well-documented. A great comment from the Twittersphere even hints at the kind of dark times this may be the harbinger of.

Why, in the midst of the [...]
Electronista is claiming that there’ll be a Canadian iPhone in June with an all-you-can-eat data plan for $7.

Unfortunately, the BlackBerry plans aren’t exactly competitive compared with the iPhone’s supposed $7 [...]
