So, you’ve got a gleaming new iPhone 3G. After you make a few calls to tell your friends, snap a few pictures, and try out the Web browser, it’s time to load that thing up with software.
After all, this device lets you go way beyond the usual calling, texting, and surfing.
Apple’s communicator extraordinaire knows how it’s moving in space, can tell where it is on the planet, and lets you control it with multi-finger gestures.
Few desktop computers give programmers as many possibilities, and developers have responded with hundreds of applications. Read the rest of this entry »
Seeking to revive its sharply fallen fortunes and produce a successor to its aging Treo device, Palm unveiled a sleek new smartphone, the Pre, on Thursday and an exclusive partnership with Sprint to distribute it.
Palm executives say the touch-screen device and the new operating system inside it, WebOS, break new ground in the fiercely competitive smartphone market. The phone’s selling points include an emphasis on fast Web browsing and efficient multitasking.
Jonathan J. Rubinstein, executive chairman of Palm, resisted comparisons of the Pre with the iPhone from Apple. Read the rest of this entry »

As the launch of the 3G iPhone approaches, BusinessWeek reports that competitors face the same problem they did in July of last year.
“Most people want the iPhone, just as they want the iPod and not some other MP3 player,” says Gloria Barczak, professor of marketing at Northeastern University. “People want the real thing.”
The difference between now and then is that the real thing will cost less, at least up front. Higher costs for data plans and messaging actually means the 3G iPhone costs more over the life of the contract with AT&T. Read the rest of this entry »
According to Paul, he bought his girlfriend an 8GB iPhone because she wanted one. He then found out she was cheating on him with a guy from church and now he is selling her iPhone.
If the advertisement up on Craig’s list is true to fact, our man is quite at a loss. In my books any boyfriend willing to buy their other half an 8GB iPhone, no less, needs some sort of ‘Best Boyfriend In The World’ award.
What he does not need is to be cheated on at any point and salt in the wound; losing his once beloved to a guy from church!
Man, I hope God was existing and watching the whole affair; a fellow from his own abode causing such heartache is out of order and the pair should have to pay. We think he just might have to, too.
That demanding ho of a girlfriend of his is going to want a new iPhone before she succumbs to spiritual perdition.
(He could possibly negotiate a price with Paul). Fortunately for the sinning pair, reception is good in hell, as that is where AT&T is based.
Now ladies, hit the link, call Paul and secure a date; if he bought his last girlfriend an 8GB iPhone, imagine what he will get you on the rebound!
[Craig's List].

Austrian luxury designer and jeweler Peter Aloisson has something more to add to his kitty – ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you the Aloisson designed iPhone – the world’s most expensive iPhone.
While diamond studded phones are nothing new, the only thing the iPhone Princess Plus has to its credit is being the most expensive iPhone. The phone derives its name from the Princess cut used on 138 of the 318 diamonds on its surface.
The rest of the 180 diamonds on the phone are brilliant cut and it has 17.75 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold around its rim. All diamonds used are of the best quality.
This iPhone Princess Plus has a price tag of €120,000 ($176,400 USD) its first customer is a Russian businessman who had pre-ordered it way back in October 2007 for January 2008 delivery. And if you can’t afford this, the poorer lot can buy the iPhone set only with brilliant-cut diamonds. This can be purchased for the more “modest sum” of €45,000 ($66,150 USD).
And while a lot of you might gasp at the thought of spending that kind of money on a phone (personally I like those cheap archaic Nokia phones) just to make you gasp a little more, a small teaser about the most expensive phone in the world…the GoldVish Le Million 8-carat white gold and features 1,800 diamonds totaling 120 carats that is priced $1.45 Million USD. Enjoy gasping!
Never heard of Abilene Christian University? We’re guessing a wide majority of the general public hasn’t either, but the institution is definitely getting its name out there by promising each incoming freshman this fall an iPhone or iPod touch.
Granted, these aren’t being explicitly marked as “free,” but similar to Duke’s efforts in years past, ACU plans on using these devices for educational enrichment.
Reportedly, the handhelds will enable students to “receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors’ offices, and check their meal and account balances” — and that’s just for starters. Read the rest of this entry »
The process of TiN utilizes some hardcore chemistry concepts to coat objects like luxury watches, drill bits and aircraft blades. Well, what happens when you treat a regular old iPhone in this manner?
It ends up looking insanely great, that’s what. Checkout the gallery below for shots of the masterpiece, as well as the humango-normous equipment employed to reach the final splendid affect. Read the rest of this entry »
