The SpeedThe first thing I’ll say is that the speed isn’t really the most important feature of this device for me, then I’ll go on to explain why I’m wrong in that assertion.

I bought the original iPhone as week after it was first introduced in 2007. (Yes, I paid $600 for it back then and no, I did not feel “cheated” when Apple dropped the price a few months later.)I instantly fell in love with my iPhone. I use it dozens of times a day and count…

It turns out the delay may turn out to be a blessing. You see, when I wrote my (much shorter) review for the Houston Chronicle I had only been using the new iPhone 3GS for a couple of days. And while I still agree with everything I said in that review, I now know a…

TMO: So tell me about the new iPhone app for Delicious Library. Shipley: It’s really quite simple. It’s a “read-only” app. By that, I mean that you can’t make any changes to Library data from the iPhone app. All you can do is see the information But it’s rock-solid stable and displays the data beautifully,…

TMO: How did you get started in iPhone development? Rensch: I have been developing software for the Mac for over 20 years. Mainly, I was doing contract work, writing specialized software for businesses. When the iPhone came out, I got my hands on one right away and knew I wanted to program for it. But…

Unfortunately, none of these apps are worth their cost. And I say this knowing that several of the versions cost nothing at all. To be fair, I didn’t assess all the different Reversi games in the App Store; rather, I selected 4 that appeared to be representative. Perhaps I overlooked some gem. But I doubt…

“We believe Apple is preparing to launch at least two new iPhones in the June quarter with a high-end version (32GB) and a low-end version ($99),” Mr. Marshall said. “Our checks indicate a substantial build plan increase for the June quarter (potentially doubling quarter over quarter) from our current 3.1 million unit estimate for March…

I was dismayed to find just how rampant iPhone app piracy is. I don’t mean to sound naive. I am all too aware that piracy exists. It has long existed for computer software, where unscrupulous users share pirated copies of the latest programs from Apple, Microsoft, Adobe and others. Digressing a bit, I found it…
