		<title>Apple iPad 2 Video Calling Will Soon be Possible with Skype for iPad</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
 
     

      
It's official, Skype will support video calling on iPad 2 very soon. According to CNET, a Skype iPad application will be released to the App Store on Tuesday, June 28. A video of Skype's iPad app was first posted on Skype's official channel and then removed. Thankfully RazorianFly has the original video and it can be seen on their YouTube channel.
CNET got a chance to try out video calling on the Skype for iPad app, and has posted a hands on gallery of it. Skype for iPad will work on both iPad 1 and iPad 2, however only iPad 2 users can broadcast video because of the front-facing camera.

		<title>iCloud not yet available for Verizon iPhone</title>

       A little wait for Verizon iPhone customers yet again!
A few days ago, Apple officially announced the beta release of its new iCloud cloud-storage service at the WWDC 2011 Keynote.  The iCloud will give almost instant access to your music, apps, latest photos, and more. The iCloud service is free and has already launched in developer beta today.
While the beta version of Apple’s new iCloud became available almost instantly, many iPhone owners were able to get hold of the iCloud on any iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, PC, and their iPhones with the latest version of Apple’s software.
AT&amp;amp;T iPhone customers had got the latest version of the iPhone software in March along with three minor updates running on iOS version 4.3.3 now. However, Verizon iPhone customers have yet to get the latest version of the iPhone software- as they are still running on version 4.2.8.
As of now, it is not clear why Verizon customers are left behind with this delay.  B]]></description>

		<title>WWDC 2011: iCloud &amp;amp;amp; More!</title>

		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				
     

       
At the WWDC 2011 Keynote, the enigmatic iCloud was finally unveiled to all attending the keynote conference. Steve Jobs climbed back on stage to reveal the iCloud.
He said, &amp;amp;#8220;I'm going to talk about iCloud. We've been working on this for some time now, and I'm really excited about it.&amp;amp;#8221;
What exactly is iCloud? Well, iCloud is a way to  &amp;amp;#8221;seamlessly integrated into your apps, so you can access your content on all your device&amp;amp;#8221;

Before talking about the iCloud, Steve began by recalling how many years ago the PC was becoming the digital hub for one's digital life.  Digital photos, digital videos, music. It worked for the better part of 10 years. But it has broken down in the past few years.
&amp;amp;#8220;iCloud stores your content in the cloud and wirelessly pushes it to all your device. It automatically uploads it, stores it, and pushes it to all your devices.&amp;amp;#8221;

		<title>iPhone 5 Release Date Not in June or July, According to an AT&amp;amp;amp;T Rep is Just a Rumor</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				
      

       The only reason I make this post is because it's getting a lot of attention around the web. A post on Mac Rumors is stating that one of their members e-mailed them telling them that an AT&amp;amp;T representative told them that there won't be an iPhone 5 Release Date in June or July. Here is the exact quote:
Apple has informed us that they do not plan to release the iPhone in the June to July timeframe, though there will be a newer version in the future. Unfortunately, we have not been given a release time for the new phone. We will release this information on our website when it is available to us.
 
Now I doubt Apple has informed any AT&amp;amp;T rep about the release date of the iPhone 5 and I believe that whoever sent this tip to Mac Rumors just made it up. No Apple or AT&amp;amp;T representative is allowed to give out any  information on upcoming Apple software that hasn't been announced by Apple.

		<title>iOS 4.3.3 Doesn’t Fix Untethered Jailbreak</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				
      

       The iOS 4.3.3 software update Apple recently released does not fix the untethered jailbreak exploit used in iPhone hacker, i0n1c's jailbreak. This has been confirmed by iPhone Dev Team member @comex. This means that users can still jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 untethered, although no iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak is out yet because the iPhone hackers will need to update their jailbreak software to support it.
Jailbreak users can expect redsn0w or some other jailbreak software to be updated to support iOS 4.3.3 in the near future. As of right now jailbreak users can still jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 using the current version of redsn0w, but the jailbreak is tethered which means they will need to keep jailbreaking every time they reboot their iOS device.
If you are a jailbreak user our advice is not to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 until an untethered iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak is released!

Surprisingly, as we had expected Steve Jobs was also present at the event. The event started with Steve jobs on stage with a few update on the company’s achievements.
Steve Jobs said, “We’ve been working on this project for a while, and just didn’t want to miss this.”
He explained iBooks and how more than 100 million books had been downloaded in less than a year, the App Store that surpassed 2 billion dollars paid out to developers, and a many, many other achievements.
“In 2001, we had the iPod. In 2007, we had the iPhone. In 2010, the iPad.” At the event, Steve Jobs said, “When we introduced the iPad, we said it was our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device. People laughed at us for calli]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 4 Wins Best Mobile Device Award in Mobile World Congress 2011</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				       
 
       
During the annual Mobile World Congress 2011, the iPhone 4 won the &amp;amp;#8220;Best Mobile Device&amp;amp;#8221; award. Apple wasn't present at the Mobile World Congress because they always hold their own annual event during June so it was surprising to see them receive any award at all. The iPhone 4 was definitely a great mobile device, and now that it's available on Verizon it's going to be even more successful and better for consumers.
The judges comments for the iPhone 4:
Great screen, sharp design, fantastic materials, and phenomenal ecosystem for app developers. In a tight race, the iPhone 4 built on the success of its predecessors to set the pace for smart phones.
I'd have to agree with what the judges said. I really hope that Apple introduces some revolutionary new features on the next iPhone (iPhone 5) which they will announce this year in June 2011. With all the Android phones coming out, iPhone is starting to look like a boring phone. A ]]></description>

		<title>iPad 3G deal may delay Verizon iPhone</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				       
 
       
When it comes to the Verizon iPhone, there is no shortage of rumors. The latest rumor suggests that Apple and AT&amp;amp;T had a deal with the iPad 3G. AT&amp;amp;T offered cheap data plans for iPad 3G customers, in exchange for Apple renewing their contract for at least another year. This is just pure speculation from a Wall Street Analyst, Brian Marshall (source: Computer World) so for all we know he could be making things up. There is still a possibility of the iPhone launching on the Verizon Wireless network, we'll just need to play the waiting game and see.
In other news, the new iPhone 4G or iPhone HD is launching this summer with the iPhone 4.0 software.  The iPhone 4G hardware prototype was leaked, and a photo gallery of it was posted online late last month. Apple will most likely announce the iPhone 4G during the WWDC event that takes place during June 7-11.

		<title>Spirit Jailbreak download: iPhone 3.1.3, iPod touch 3.1.3, and iPad 3.2!</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				       
 
       The Spirit Jailbreak download is now available. The Spirit Jailbreak sofware is a userland jailbreak created by iPhone hacker comex, with the help of CHPWN. It is the first iPad jailbreak in existence, and it's pretty easy to use. All you do is just click &amp;amp;#8220;Jailbreak&amp;amp;#8221;. It works with iPhone 3.1.3 firmware and iPod touch 3.1.3 firmware as well.
The Spirit Jailbreak download is really tempting to try, but I don't want to download it yet because I just got my iPad and I'm not sure if it's worth it to jailbreak iPad yet. I'll wait until all the bugs are ironed out. What about you?

		<title>When will we see Verizon iPhone 4G release date?</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				       
 
       The new iPhone 4G is coming in summer, and this iPhone 4G prototype hardware photo is the proof of that. What we don't know is whether or not Apple will release a Verizon iPhone 4G. Type in &amp;amp;#8220;iPhone&amp;amp;#8221; in Google, and the first suggestion you get is &amp;amp;#8220;Verizon iPhone&amp;amp;#8221;. This definitely indicates that many users want a Verizon iPhone.
A Verizon iPhone 4G release date doesn't seem likely this June, however The Wall Street Journal has said that Apple may release two iPhones in June, and one of them will support Verizon's CDMA network. This is just a rumor, and as you know there are many rumors when it comes to Apple's upcoming products. You never know what they release until they actually release it. Even if Apple releases a Verizon iPhone this June, it won't be on the 4G network because Verizon's 4G network won't be ready until 2011.

		<title>Gizmodo has iPhone 4G? It’s a fake! (UPDATED)</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
	 
				      
Earlier today Gizmodo made a post titled &amp;amp;#8220;This is Apple's Next iPhone&amp;amp;#8221;. You can see a photo of it above this text. They claim that the iPhone they have was found in a bar in Redwood City. To make matters worse, they are just assuming that this really is a prototype based on the fact that they saw multiple components in the iPhone that were labeled Apple. Sorry to rain on your parade Gizmodo, but your iPhone is a fake. That explains why it doesn't boot up, and why you can't connect it to iTunes and download even the beta version of iPhone OS 4.0 software to it. Someone most likely took out the components from the current iPhone, placed them in a fake Chinese iPhone clone and sent it to you. I just contacted one of my sources who has had actual hands on experience with a prototype of the new iPhone, and he has confirmed that this prototype is nowhere close to what the real iPhone 4G looks like and it's a FAKE.

Earlier today Gizmodo made a post titled &amp;amp;#8220;This is Apple's Next iPhone&amp;amp;#8221;. You can see a photo of it above this text. They claim that the iPhone they have was found in a bar in Redwood City. To make matters worse, they are just assuming that this really is a prototype based on the fact that they saw multiple components in the iPhone that were labeled Apple. Sorry to rain on your parade Gizmodo, but your iPhone is a fake.

		<title>iPhone 4.0 Release Date: June 2010</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
iPhone OS 4.0 software was just announced this month, but a lot of iPhone and iPod touch owners are excited about it. Just when is the iPhone 4.0 release date? Apple only said summer 2010, but we can expect the iPhone OS 4.0 firmware to be released during June because that's the same month Apple released the iPhone OS 3.0 online update last year.
The iPhone 4.0 update is a really big update and adds more than 100 features to the iPhone, including multi-tasking and categorizing of apps.

		<title>Jailbreak for iPhone 4.0 beta 1 available now</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
iPhone hackers, get ready! You can jailbreak iPhone 4.0 beta 1 now, thanks to the redsn0w 0.9.5 software created by the iPhone Dev Team. For those that don't know what this is, &amp;amp;#8220;jailbreak&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;jailbreaking&amp;amp;#8221; iPhone 4.0 firmware basically allows you to download third party apps and fully customize your iPhone.
This jailbreak will only work for iPhone 3G users on a Mac. It's still in beta, so it's very buggy. If you plan to jailbreak, know that your unlock will be compromised since Apple updated the baseband in the iPhone 4.0 beta firmware.

		<title>iPhone OS 4.0 event: Multitasking</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
The biggest feature Apple announced in their iPhone OS 4.0 event today is multitasking. As an iPhone owner I was constantly teased by Android owners for having no ability to multitask. Not any more! Now Apple has implemented a nifty multitasking system in iPhone OS 4.0, and it looks like they've got it right! Whenever Apple implements a major feature, they always do it right. Unfortunately for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd generation users, there  will be no multitasking support added.
Multitasking on the iPhone involves double-clicking the home button on your iPhone, which pops up a four icon dock on the bottom and shows your background apps. You can tap on any app to switch to it, it's that easy! For the tech junkies out there, Apple has added seven new API's:

Background audio
VOIP
Background location
Push notifications
Local notifications
Task completion
Fast app switching

		<title>Apple to unveil iPhone OS 4.0 on April 8</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
Apple has just sent an e-mail to well-known sites like Gizmodo and invited them to an event that they're holding on April 8 at 10 AM. Apple will be giving a demo of the new iPhone operating system, iPhone OS 4.0 on this date.
Last year Apple demoed iPhone OS 3.0 in March, but due to the iPad they had to delay the demo of the iPhone OS 4.0 software this year. It's about time Apple finally released a whole new operating system. One of the most requested features of the iPhone OS is multi-tasking, and Apple has yet to add support for this. I really look forward to seeing what Apple has in store for us this Thursday. Stay tuned, I'll be posting more updates as more information is discovered!

		<title>iPad jailbreak ‘Spirit’ for iPhone 3.2 firmware coming soon</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
I've held off on buying an iPad, mainly because it's the cost of a decent notebook computer but has a lot of important missing features. An iPad jailbreak may make me change my mind. MuscleNerd, a member of the iPhone Dev Team did a demo of an iPad jailbreak named &amp;amp;#8216;Spirit' and posted it on YouTube. This iPad jailbreak is created by an iPhone hacker that goes by the name of comex. The exploit used in this iPad jailbreak should work in all other iDevices as well.
If MuscleNerd, comex, and other iPhone hackers succeed in creating a jailbreak for the iPad then multi-tasking, themes, and a lot of other goodies will be available to iPad users.

		<title>Nexus One is just another Android phone</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
Google will be releasing their Nexus One aka Google phone today. Will Nexus One be an iPhone killer? The answer is no.  Engadget's Joshua Topolsky managed to get his hands on a Nexus One early, and posted his very detailed review up on Engadget. Go on and check it out, he did a good review of it. Joshua's verdict is that the Nexus One is just another Android phone, and I'd have to agree with this judging by the videos and reviews I saw on the web. The iPhone will always win because of it's simplicity!
If you plan on getting the Nexus One, I'd like to know why you would choose it over the iPhone so leave a comment and tell me!

		<title>Isaac Newton falling Apple logo by Google works on iPhone</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
No, the falling Apple logo on the Google hompage doesn't have anything to do with Apple Inc. It is there to celebrate the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton. I believe this is the first time I've ever seen Google use an animated logo on their front page. I like it! Google is using javascript so the animation should work on most browsers. I tried it on my iPhone using the Safari browser and it does work!
To view the Isaac Newton Google Doodle on your iPhone just go to http://www.google.com and click View Google in: Classic. The homepage will come up and you will see the Apple logo falling down.

		<title>Best free iPhone app: Dragon Dictation</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
       
 
      
For me, the best free iPhone app in the Apple App Store would have to be the Dragon Dictation iPhone app. The Dragon Dictation iPhone app allows you to speak in to your iPhone and have your speech converted to text. Your text can then be sent as a text message, E-mail, or pasted in to another iPhone application using the clipboard.
Pros:

Converts your speech to text very accurately
Offers suggestions for text that wasn't converted from speech to text properly
Saves you a lot of time

Cons:

There is a 30 second time limit for dictation, but you can keep adding more text after every 30 seconds
Requires you to have an Internet connection
Doesn't work well in noisy environments

I've been using the Dragon Dictation iPhone app for about a week now and have found it really helpful. I still type with my keyboard sometimes but whenever I  need to ]]></description>

Google is working on a new phone, and it's called the Nexus One. No, Nexus One is not a code name, it's the real name of the phone that you see in the picture above. You can see more pictures of this at Engadget. The Nexus One is a slim phone running Google's Android 2.1 operating system. HTC is manufacturing the Nexus One.  No price, specs, or other official dates have been confirmed. According to rumors, this phone will be unlocked and will sell for around $500. Reuter's sources are saying that there will be two versions of the Nexus One:  One will be sold through T-Mobile with a service contract and the other will be sold through Google unlocked. Reuter's sources are also saying that the Nexus One will be released around January 5.

As has been said here and many other places, one can only imagine that Apple was ready to do battle with the Droid and that they were merely waiting for the release of their competitions top product before finalizing their latest version. It would be a good move as they would know what they were up against and could make whatever changes to the latest version to stand up against whatever Motorola was throwing out there.

Apparently, the new version of the phone is already out on the test market as an app developer noticed that a new version of the iPhone has showing up in their data.

      Many sports fans enjoy listening to sports radio, but what are they supposed to do when they are not in their car or by their stereo at home? 

ESPN has just launched their latest application for the iPhone and it is available for download in the app store for only $2.99.
ESPN radio has quickly taken over as the number one sports radio show in many cities. They have uprooted shows that have been in place for decades and tossed them to the side of the road. This ESPN Radio App joins the long list of ESPN apps that are already part of the iPhone app store. While many of them are free, this one will set you back couple of dollars, but it is well worth it.

      Every golfer on the planet is susceptible to buying gadgets that will help them improve their game. Unfortunately, most of them end up in the closet with all of the rest of the scams that do nothing more than make us look like fools out on the course. Well the iPhone has an app that just may do more good than bad in the GolfShot: Golf GPS app.

Golf GPS devices have become pretty popular over the last few years, and this one has few shortcomings as an app. First off, it is less than $30 and that is a far cry from the hundreds of dollars stand alone devices will run from the likes of Golfsmith.

The question of who is getting rejected and what makes one app better than another is something that is being asked quite frequently lately, and we now finally have a way to find out who is getting rejected and can see for ourselves what their apps are all about. While this will not change the fact that they are rejected, it will let the public decide if Apple is being fair or not.

The site, AppRejections.com, is the project of  developer Adam Martin. He plans on making a list of apps that have been rejected for what most would consider “unusual and unfair.” Since nobody really knows how the process works, it may give a little insight to other developers in their quest to get their apps approved.

      Week after week has seen the same champion atop the pile of iPhone app games from the App Store. Bejeweled 2 has been challenged a few times, but it has continued to lead the way until this week. There is finally a game worthy of taking the top spot and it is none other than Call of Duty: World at War Zombies. 

The hefty price tag of $9.99 did not scare anyone away as this much anticipated game quickly took over the top spot. While Bejeweled 2 is great for killing time on the train, Call of Duty is just great for killing. If you have not yet played the video game, you have no idea what you are missing. If there was ever a game that could make anyone an obsessive, this is it.

If you have been struggling with which GPS app to buy for your iPhone, assuming you don’t already have one of course, Navigon has just sweetened the pot by putting their application on sale for only $69.99.  This is $20 off the regular price and is now $30 cheaper than the TomTom app that is also available on the iPhone.

In addition to the regular mobile navigator being on sale, they have also discounted the Traffic Live feature which is normally $24.99 down to $14.99. This really makes it attractive as you can have everything that they offer and still pay less than the TomTom all by itself. To make things clear, I am not comparing this to the TomTom because overall, that is the better device, at least in my opinion]]></description>

One of the staple games of the Wii video game system is the tennis game. That specific game has been made famous by a couple of different movies and is an absolute blast to play. By the end of a single session, you realize that you are doing everything but running around the courts. Well the iPhone now has an app that brings that very same type of game play to it.

At the end of October, a Priceline application was released for the iPhone and the reviews are finally in, it is a slam dunk. As soon as this app hit the market it quickly became one of the most downloaded travel apps available and after using it, we can see why.  Instead of having to sit by the computer, iPhone users can now hit the bidding up late and get the discount hotel rooms that they are looking for.

Imagine attending a wedding and enjoying the reception just a little bit too much and needing to stay over. Instead of having to make call after call, the iPhone user only needs to open the app and let the program do the rest. Plug in the normal information and Priceline finds the best room rate that fall within]]></description>

At the end of October, a Priceline application was released for the iPhone and the reviews are finally in, it is a slam dunk. As soon as this app hit the market it quickly became one of the most downloaded travel apps available and after using it, we can see why.  Instead of having to sit by the computer, iPhone users can now hit the bidding up late and get the discount hotel rooms that they are looking for.

Imagine attending a wedding and enjoying the reception just a little bit too much and needing to stay over. Instead of having to make call after call, the iPhone user only needs to open the app and let the program do the rest. Plug in the normal information and Priceline finds the best room rate that fall within]]></content:encoded>

		<title>Jailbraking Makes iPhones Vulnerable to Hackers</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
Rumorville earlier this week had iPhones that were reportedly getting hacked into with a picture of Rick Astley up on the screen. 

Apparently the hacker was not to shy about it and has done several interviews about how and why he did the hacking. The hack started out as an experiment to see how far it would go and reportedly started out with three phones and spread like wildfire overnight.
This presents an interesting dilemma for many iPhone users as there are supposedly millions of jailbroken iPhones out on the market right now. For those of you that are not familiar with jailbraking, it is the process by which users are able to run unofficial code through their phones that will enable them to use unapproved applic]]></description>

		<title>Is Apple too stringent with approval for iPhone Applications?</title>

      Over the last few months, Apple seems to be denying more apps than it is accepting. The latest to fall by the wayside for an iPhone app was Tom Richmond.  MAD fans will recognize the name as they were looking forward to the app that he has been touting on his personal blog.  Unfortunately, the time is not now for its release and Mr. Richmond is none too happy about it.

The official no thank you reads, “Thank you for submitting Bobble Rep – 111th Congress Edition to the App Store.  We’ve reviewed Bobble Rep – 111th Congress Edition and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because it contains content that ridicules public figures and is in violation of Section 3.3.14 f]]></description>

		<title>Your Baby is Crying, There is an App for That!</title>

		<description><![CDATA[
      
I thought I had seen it all and then I read that the iPhone can understand what a baby is trying to say when they are crying.  How can you not look into an app like this?  

One of the latest iPhone applications to be launched is the Cry Translator.  This is an app that was developed by BiLoop Technologic, S.L., and that uses sound analysis technology to figure out exactly what the baby is trying to say.
The analysis is based off of 5 basic emotions that a child will try and express: annoyance, boredom, fatigue, hunger and stress. All you have to do is put your iPhone up the wailing child and within a few seconds the phone should be able to decipher what they are trying to tell you through their crying.

		<title>iPhone vs Motorola Droid: Let the battle begin</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
The reviews are finally starting to come in and when all is said and done, it appears to be a draw.  The bottom line here is that Verizon had to do something to stop all of the tech freaks from running over to AT&amp;amp;#038;T and Motorola had to do something to get back some of the customers that they have lost to both Blackberry and Apple.  Enter the Droid, but apparently it has a bit more work to do before it can live up to the hype that it has created.

While the Droid is far and away the best phone that Motorola has on the market, it hardly puts the iPhone to shame.  To say that it is not competitive would be a lie, but the iPhone still seems to be the easier of the two to use and already has quite a following. The onl]]></description>

		<title>New ARM chips could boost performance for future Apple products, including the iPhone</title>

		<description><![CDATA[
      
Chip designer ARM announced this week new dual core Cortex-A9 processors capable of breaking the 2GHz barrier, perhaps foreshadowing the muscle behind Apple's future mobile devices.

According to ARM, the Cortex-A9 MPCore &amp;amp;#8220;hard macro implementations&amp;amp;#8221; will enable chip makers to create even higher-performance devices from the low-power chips in &amp;amp;#8220;high density and thermally constrained environments&amp;amp;#8221; that the processors are usually found in, like the iPhone and iPod touch. In addition, the new design consumes less than 250mW per CPU while at peak performance.
&amp;amp;#8220;The Cortex-A9 MPCore processor has already been widely accepted as the processor of choice for high-performance embedded applications across a broad spectrum of demanding consumer and enterprise devices,” said Eric Schorn, vice president of marketing for ARM's processor division. &amp;amp;#8220;ARM’s parallel development of advanced, optimized physical IP components demonstrates a

		<description><![CDATA[
      Deutsche Telekom, the owners of T-Mobile in the U.S., are reportedly looking into acquiring competitor Sprint. Together, the two companies would have a customer base that rivals AT&amp;amp;#038;T.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Detsche Telekom is prepping a multi-billion dollar offer for Sprint Nextel, which is the third-largest wireless carrier in America. Together, the two companies would have a combined customer base near AT&amp;amp;#038;T's nearly 80 million subscribers.
Currently, AT&amp;amp;#038;T is the second-largest wireless carrier in the U.S., behind only Verizon Wireless, which had an estimated 87.7 million subscribers as of July.

The Loop spoke with Apple about the issue, and learned that the anti-phishing database is updated on a user's iPhone via the charging/syncing process in order to preserve battery performance and prevent hidden data usage on cellular networks.

Two British wireless carriers hope to merge and create the nation's largest network, partially in a bid to grab Apple's attention and earn the right to sell the iPhone.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the merger of Orange and T-Mobile in the U.K. would have 28.4 million customers representing 37 percent of the market. Tom Alexander, chief executive for Orange in Britain, said the additional clout would be an advantage for the company as it looks to have the iPhone on its network.
However, a potential deal between Orange and T-Mobile is far from a foregone conclusion. Any merger would need to be approved by regulators from the European Union, though company officials said they believe it would be accepted.

Apple and its exclusive US wireless provider AT&amp;amp;#038;T could soon deliver new carrier-specific features to iPhone users through a future software update in a bid to increase customer satisfaction.

At least one of the enhancements, according to those claiming knowledge of the matter, would be similar to the Visual Voicemail feature made popular on the iPhone two years ago, in that it may require AT&amp;amp;#038;T to tailor changes to its network.
In particular, the two parties are said to be mulling the possibility of enabling the following capabilities through an update to the iPhone's software that could arrive before year's end:

      With users' permission, the social networking iPhone application Loopt will report the phone's current location even when the software isn't running, based on a new agreement with AT&amp;amp;#038;T.

In a report from Silicon Alley Insider, Loopt cofounder Sam Altman said the always-connected feature has been the most requested from users. The service allows people to track where their friends are at any given moment, a task difficult to constantly maintain on the iPhone, which doesn't currently allow third-party applications to run in the background.
Ordinarily, closing the application would cease any connections, but the new AT&amp;amp;#038;T-sanctioned feature comes with a price: The always-on capability will add $3.99 to a monthly AT&amp;amp;#038;T bill, after the 14-day trial. The initial trial will be open to 5,000 users.

When Apple's iPhone enters the Chinese cell phone market later this year in a non-exclusive deal with China Unicom, it could only be the beginning, as the handset maker reportedly already has its sights set on another carrier.

A new report from PC World Business Center states that Apple is in talks with China Mobile, the world's largest cell phone carrier. In a nation with an estimated 700 million mobile subscribers, China Mobile carries the lion's share, with more than 475 million as of March. A spokeswoman for the carrier confirmed the company is in talks with Apple to carry the iPhone, though an agreement has not been made.
The news comes as Apple confirmed Monday that its recently announced agreement with China Unicom is not exclusive, unlike contracts for the debut of the device in other countries across the world.

		<title>GPush - finally a push notification for GMail that works?</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
GPush is the missing link between GMail and the iPhone. For the first time, receive instant Gmail message notifications on the iPhone.

For best results, place the GPush app icon above your mail icon - this will allow you to quickly open your mail app if new messages come in through GPush.
GPush even lets the iPhone user choose how to be notified of new email. Your options include having the phone vibrate, ring, display the email message on the standby screen just like an SMS, or simply have the GPush icon show how many new messages are unread.

		<title>Facebook 3.0 released for the iPhone</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      We knew it was coming in all of its glory. With additions such as events, creating photo albums, photo zoom, and a new home screen, how could we not be excited for the Facebook for iPhone 3.0 update? Well, the wait is over: Facebook 3.0 for the iPhone has arrived.

The new update completely upgrades the Facebook iPhone app, still the #1 most popular application in the iTunes store. And let’s be clear: this upgrade was absolutely essential. While Facebook 2.5 allowed you to browse your friends, update your status, check your notifications, and use Facebook Chat, that’s really all it could do.
So what’s new in the app? Joe Hewitt, the developer of the Facebook iPhone App, actually has a list of new features and improvements posted last week. Here’s what’s in store for you when you open up Facebook 3.0:
    - See your upcoming Events and RSVP
    - See your friends’ birthdays
    - See Pages and post]]></description>

The document Google provided to the FCC, as it looks into Apple's non-acceptance of the Google Voice application on the iPhone platform, was heavily redacted, essentially removing all details of communication between Google and Apple as the search engine company attempted to have its telephony service software approved for release on the App Store. But it did offer some insight into what the Google Voice application offered, and how the Android Marketplace works.

		<title>Report: iPhone beat out Windows Mobile phones in sales in second quarter 2009</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
Apple's iPhone held onto a 13.7% share of global smartphone unit sales in the second quarter, outpacing Microsoft's Windows Mobile, which now claims just 9% of the market, according to Canalys.

&amp;amp;#8220;Apple has revolutionized the smart phone sector, leapfrogging more experienced rivals,&amp;amp;#8221; Canalys senior analyst Pete Cunningham said in the company's report. Sales in the second quarter did not include much of the surge in new sales spurred by the release of the iPhone 3GS.
In the North American market, the iPhone grabbed a 23% share of smartphones sold, despite being tied to a single carrier in the US. Apple's US debut occurred months before sales were expanded to other countries, and international sales of iPhone really began a year

		<title>iPhone Sonar Ruler App pulls off a neat trick</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
Here's a cool way to design an app: the new Sonar Ruler app uses the iPhone's speaker to send out a short click and then measures how long it takes for the sound to bounce off a surface. It then tells you the distance. How's that for phone flexibility?

It's not perfectly accurate, however. It works best on large, flat surfaces that are perpendicular to the phone, which will provide measurements accurate within an inch. It won't work on smaller objects, however, and things like temperature and wind can affect the readings. So you won't want to use it to measure where to

      Ed Colligan, the former chief executive of Palm, reportedly rejected an offer years ago from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to agree to not hire each others' employees.

The conversation took place in August 2007, just after the launch of the iPhone, and when Palm appointed Apple's former senior engineering VP, Jon Rubinstein, as executive chairman.

While Apple held just 14 percent of the market share a year ago, the 2009 numbers show the hardware maker with 32 percent of the Wi-Fi capable devices observed. That success is undoubtedly driven by the popularity of the iPhone, which has been said to control most of the market for mobile Web use.

Customers who flocked to Apple's latest iPhone upgrade were overwhelmingly satisfied with their purchase, but AT&amp;amp;#038;T's network didn't fare nearly as well, a new survey shows.

A total of 99 percent of 200 respondents to a RBC/IQ ChangeWave survey in August said they are satisfied with their iPhone 3GS, with 82 percent of those &amp;amp;#8220;Very Satisfied.&amp;amp;#8221; That's an improvement from the already-stellar statistics on the last two iterations of the iPhone, of which 73 percent of customers gave a superior ranking. Similarly, 94 percent of iPhone 3GS buyers said the product met or exceeded their expectations.
But the iPhone's U.S. carrier, AT&amp;amp;#038;T, was seen as the product's biggest pitfall. When iPhone 3GS owners were asked to rank what they dislike about the product, 55 percent chose the AT&amp;amp;#038;T network. That was followed by the 41

		<title>Google releases update to Google Mobile - Fixes Voice search for OS 3.0</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      Google has updated it's popular Google Mobile iPhone App that fixes the issues of OS 3.0 affecting the voice search feature.

When you installed the iPhone 3.0 operating system, you would have noticed that lifting the receiver to your ear and speaking your command would no longer function.
Google admittedly broke Apple's rules by releasing such a feature. Specifically, moving the phone to your ear and having the application change to listen for you to speak, was not a supported developer feature in the iPhone SDK so when iPhone 3.0 OS came out, it seemed to have broke that neat feature.
With the new update to the Google Mobile App this is now fixed and works as before. In the notes for the update Google lists:

Apple's decision to reject Google Voice apps for the iPhone &amp;amp;#8212; possibly at AT&amp;amp;#038;T's request &amp;amp;#8212; has prompted an FCC investigation into the anti-competitive nature of the move.

The US government agency on Friday sent letters to Apple, AT&amp;amp;#038;T and Google asking them to explain their roles in both rejecting Google's own app as well as pulling at least two third-party apps that were already available.
Besides inquiring into Apple's involvement, the letters also ask AT&amp;amp;#038;T whether it was asked for an opinion and Google to outline both Google Voice as well as whether Google has had other apps approved.

The news that a patch is coming soon came from a spokesperson for O2, the iPhone's wireless carrier in the U.K. It was not immediately made clear whether a patch would be made available for all iPhone users, or just those in the U.K. The exploit also affects Google Android and Windows Mobile phones.

As Apple suggests dire consequences could come from users hacking the iPhone, one well-publicized former App Store program has made the jump to hacked hardware only.

Developer Sean Kovacs was surprised on Monday to discover that his GV Mobile client for Google Voice was to be pulled from the App Store &amp;amp;#8212; even though it had been available there for months. So, he responded this week by porting his once-paid application over to Cydia, the hacker software store for installing unapproved applications, for free.
If Apple is to be believed, those who &amp;amp;#8220;jailbreak&amp;amp;#8221; their phones to continue using GV Mobile could cause &amp;amp;#8220;potentially catastrophic&amp;amp;#8221; damage to cell phone towers, according to documents discovered by Wired.
Apple filed the statements with the U.S. Copyright Office, which is considering a request from the Electronic Frontier Foundation to legalize the jailbreaking of iPhones.

		<title>Apple supplier Foxconn indicates employee who committed suicide had spotty history</title>

      After a Foxconn employee allegedly committed suicide when an iPhone prototype vanished, an official with the Chinese manufacturing company said the former employee had demonstrated a pattern of suspiciously losing products.

Speaking with The New York Times, James Lee, general manager of China operations, said the employee's explanation for the missing phone did not seem credible.
“Several times he had some products missing, then he got them back,” Lee said. “We don’t know who took the product, but it was at his stop.”
A Times reporter was given a tour of the Chinese company's facilities, but was not allowed to see the assembly line to protect trade secrets. When the reporter spoke with employees outside of the company's control, one of about 15 admitted they were forced to work overtime beyond the legal limit.

Currently it is on special offer $69.99 until the 15th August with a free upgrade planned soon which will add to the many features already available.

		<title>Gone in a Flash: Apple pays for large amounts of flash memory</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[
      
Apple has continued its significant investment in flash memory, with the company announcing Tuesday that it recently prepaid $500 million to Toshiba to secure long-term supply of NAND for its mobile devices, a very necessary component in its smartphones.

The half-billion dollar investment came early on in the September quarter, so it was not officially revealed in Tuesday's Q3 results. However, Apple COO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer discussed the purchase during the earnings conference call.
&amp;amp;#8220;We view flash as a very key component for us,&amp;amp;#8221; Cook said, &amp;amp;#8220;because as you know we use it so many

		<title>Graffiti - leave notes behind at a physical location without breaking any city ordinances</title>
		<category>iPhone Apps</category>
		<description><![CDATA[Graffiti apps let you leave notes behind at a physical location without breaking any city ordinances. Open one of these apps, tap out your commentâ€”"Do not order the Cosmo here, it's terrible"â€”and upload it. Others who use the same app can check that location for any useful graffiti from you, This is an interesting new wrinkle to location-sensing that will be really useful if we all start playing along. The execution doesn't currently live up to this potential, however. GeoGraffiti is voice-based, and Graffitio is text-based. The former is mostly clogged with ads for local stores and marketing jargon rather than realâ€”world observations. The latter reads like Craigslist Rants and Raves: subliterate paeans like "Denver Broncos rule," "Yoâ€™ momma," and "Who is out there?" Still, we're looking forward to the potential of these tools.]]></description>

Loopt, the best of these apps, works by showing registered, connected users on a map. Tap each one for a status update and maybe even a photo they provide. Don't want to be trackable? Just leave Loopt closed. It won't track you unless it's open. If you can get enough friends onboard, Loopt acts like a visual Twitter 2.0. Instead of just feeding you updates, it creates a sense of closeness and the thrill of a potential meet-up. We didn't like the invasive posting of birthdates, however, or the substandard integration with Facebook, but for sheer banishment of the loneliness of existential despair, Loopt scores high marks. If only Edvard Munch had Loopt, The Scream could have looked like a '70s smiley face.]]></description>

		<title>Why should I lock my iPhone access?</title>

Stop them from peeking by locking your phone with a passcocle. Itâ€™s really easy to set up. Tap Settings &amp;amp;gt; General &amp;amp;gt; Passcode Lock, and set a 4-digit passcode by entering it twice. Just be sure to pick a different PIN than the one you use for your bank card. Tap Require Passcode to change the duration of idle time before the iPhone asks for the passcode again, saving yourself from annoyance. As Apple suggests, a shorter time period is more secure. Chances are, you'l| be the one entering the code most frequently, so try to strike a balance between convenience and the need for security.

		<title>Is your iPhone's Wi-Fi safe?</title>

		<title>How to encrypt email with your iPhone</title>
		<category>iPhone Security</category>
		<description><![CDATA[Security experts like to say that sending email is like using a postcard. Anyone can read it in transit. However, using encryption on an email message is like putting a letter into an envelope. lt's not totally unbreakable (otherwise, how would your recipient read it?), but very strong encryption provides good enough security for people who prefer their communications to be private. With wellÂ·encrypted email, even if someone intercepts a message, it could take years to decrypt the contents, if they're successful at all. OpenPGP is the de facto standard for encrypted email, although most people call it PGP (Pretty Good Privacy for short). Right now there's no way to encrypt your email using PGP on the iPhone through the Mail program. Instead, consider using Hushmail, which supports PGP encryption. lt's a webmail service, so you can access it from Safari. With PGP, a public key is used only to encrypt mail; it has no function for unlocking messages.

Try using your email provider's webmail interface in Safari, but keep the transmission secure with SSL. Two indicators that SSL is working in Safari are that the websiteâ€™s URL begins with "https://" instead of "http://" and a lock icon appears to the right of the URL. Not every webmail provider offers secure webmail. Of the main iPhone optionsâ€”MobileMe, Gmail, Yahoo, and AOLâ€”only Gmail offers a secure web connection at https://mai|.google.com/mail/.

		<title>Steve Jobs boasted 60 million downloaded applications for the iPhone</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Time flies quickly. It seems like the debut of the 3G iPhone just happened yesterday when all of a sudden you would realize that it has already been a month since the device was launched. The second-generation iPhone and the App Store is truly a success. 

Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Inc, recently announced that the number of applications downloaded by the iPhone as well as iPod Touch users has already reached 60 million. Since the App Store was launched in July 11, 2008 until today, this simply means that there are almost two million applications downloaded by the Apple device users every day.
	The revenue that the applications earned reached as much as $30 million. Seventy percent of the revenue is for the developers while the remaining thirty percent was kept by Apple Inc.
Most of the downloaded applications were the free ones. Free applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch had an average revenue worth 50 cents for every download.

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how Apple Inc.’s rivals deny it, this is definitely an iPhone-era where most of them, including the GPS makers, are creating new products that would somehow compete with Apple Inc.’s latest 3G iPhone.

Recently, Garmin said in an interview that they have a new GPS device which they call the Nuvi 880. And just like the latest release from Apple Inc. the Nuvi 880 also has all features that a mobile phone user needs.
The Nuvi 880 can also serve as a player that can let you hear your audio books as well as your music files. It can also give directions, lets you view photos, and can be your personal alarm clock.
The 3G	 iPhone can give you directions too. However, you have to tap for each and every turn that you make, making it more dangerous for the drivers. The Nuvi 880 on the other hand, only requires your loud and clear voice so that you will know how to go to the destination of your choice.

		<title>Everybody gasped as Steve Jobs admitted they launched Mobile Mess</title>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the reports from Ars Technica, the CEO of Apple Inc, Steve Jobs, sent an e-mail to his employees. In the e-mail, it clearly states that Steve Jobs admitted that they have launched the MobileMe too soon.

Steve Jobs said that it was not a mistake making the MobileMe. However, it became a mistake when they launched it together with the second-generation iPhone, App Store, and their latest iPhone 2.0 software.
The article from Ars Technica said that Steve Jobs thought that there might be a different scenario if they have launched the MobileMe more slowly, something like “piece by piece.” They should have started releasing the 	MobileMe that would only work with the calendar and contact where users can sync it to their iPod Touch or iPhone. It would have been great if they have given the software more features later on such as the online services.
This is a rare situation, seeing Apple Inc. admit its defeat. However, with all the glitches, issues]]></description>

		<title>Apple Inc. have learned their lesson, production for the 3G iPhone will increase</title>
		<category>3G iPhones</category>
		<description><![CDATA[Until now, the demand for the second-generation iPhone from Apple Inc. remains strong. This might force the company to increase the production of the device beyond their original estimates. 

According to the report from TechCrunch, Apple Inc. has already asked the Foxconn, also known as the Hon Hai, to increase the 3G iPhone’s production to at least 800,000 units every week. If that would be the production pace, Apple Inc. will be distributing at least 40 million 3G iPhone units every year. This is a far cry from what the analysts are expecting from the company.
However, this bump in the production capacity does not necessarily 	mean that Hon Hai can keep up with the pace. The report from TechCrunch said that it might face issues regarding the quality control. 
There are no sales of the second-generation iPhone for at least six weeks now. Analysts are expecting that once the 3G iPhone is back in the market, it would have the same hype and demand just lik]]></description>

AT&amp;amp;#038;T already offered Apple Inc. a $300 worth of subsidy for every iPhone unit bought in America. Therefore, Apple Inc. considered it best to make AT&amp;amp;#038;T the exclusive carrier of their latest smartphone for at least a year more. But although the price of the iPhone is a big plus, this may become a great factor for Apple Inc. to lose some of its customers. There 	are some Americans who do not wish to change their mobile service provider. And because of this, they would no longer buy the latest phone from Apple Inc.
