If the labels are accurate and do identify the processor powering Apple’s as-yet unannounced iPhone 4G as being an A4, it would be the first iPhone not to use a third-party processor. Among the unknowns, of course, is the clock speed of the processor inside the prototype, let alone what Apple might actually ship. The…

The problem with that theory is that the iPhone’s screen looks dinkier now even when the iPad is not around.  I’m a pinball fan and use to enjoy playing The Deep and Wild West Pinball on my iPhone a lot. Since I started playing them on the iPad (they’ve been combined and upgraded into one…

Konnet has released two new products.  One is just for the iPhone 3G or 3Gs and the other is for all the iPhones, most of the iPod Touches, and some of the iPod Nanos.   They are quite different from each other, but either would make good gifts for the Spring and Summer holidays of Mother’s…

Assuming this report is accurate, what exactly are the iPad-related implications (beyond the obvious one) of Jobs’ answer?

Questions such as: “What is Internet…

Many have complained that the problem would have been solved if Apple allowed us to swap out the battery. I’m not convinced. The more I use my iPhone the more I need to use it for important things. If the battery runs down during an important call I don’t want to stop the call to…

There are several apps that attempt to come to the rescue here, but none are ideal.
