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.

When the holiday season rolls around, people that rarely have a beverage start throwing down the spiked eggnog like it is water. Perhaps this is why the NHS has released the FREE app called Drinks Tracker for your iPhone.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we have all been guilty of having a few too many at one time or another and maybe this is exactly what us phone geeks need to make sure we are not getting on the road after a little extra holiday cheer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

eBay did not get to the top of Internet retailing by mistake. They took what many people thought of a something that could never happen and turned it into a billion dollar industry quicker than anyone though would ever be possible. They continue that innovation by introducing Deals.

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.

The App Store is making the news just as much as the iPhone is these days and it is no wonder. iPhone ads are constantly bragging about how many apps are available on the iPhone, but Senior VP of Apple, Phil Schiller, recently did an interview with Business Week (http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2009/tc20091120_354597.htm) where he hinted that maybe the App store could use a nice trim of the fat.

Some of the biggest headlines in regards to Apple's iPhone over the last few weeks revolve around the app store.

Due to the fact that Verizon has been on an all-out assault against AT&T and their precious iPhone, AT&T has responded by promoting the amount of apps that are available on the iPhone. Just about every commercial you see these days throws out the number of 100,000 plus apps that they now have in the app store.

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.

The iPhone has just gone up about three levels in my book because of this application. The TGI Black Friday app is here and it is incredible. While the sales on Black Friday are great, it is tough to know if a deal is really a deal. While the price may by marked down, it could be less somewhere else. And then what do you do if you leave the deal on the table and it was in fact the best deal. This can be a viscous cycle.

This may be one of the best free apps that is available on the iPhone. We have all been in strange cities and have had to hunt down wifi spots in order to send out a quick email or send off a report.

It is almost embarrassing asking people where to go if you don’t have an aircard, this can be a major problem. The free workplace app WorkSnug does the hunting for you and lands a quite place to do whatever you need.

While it may be hard to imagine, you may actually have to suffer through commercials in the very near future when using certain apps on the iPhone. It is tough to gauge how well this one is going to go over with users, but what choice do they really have?

While the purpose of your phone is supposed to be for talking, every now and again it is nice to have a little fun with it. I stumbled upon this great new app and after purchasing and giving it a try, it is something that is highly recommended. Air Tennis only costs $.99 and turns the iPhone into a Wii.

As odd as it sounds, the iPhone is doing its share to alleviate some of the unemployment by putting people to work making apps.

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.

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.

It is not taking long for reviewers to pick apart the Droid and they only have themselves to blame. Starting a campaign by stating that this phone is everything that the iPhone is not sets a pretty high bar.

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&T and Motorola had to do something to get back some of the customers that they have lost to both Blackberry and Apple.

Apple's discussion board has been jumping a bit about Windows 7, and it isn't because they've all converted from Apple's OS to Windows suddenly; it's because many of them have been experiencing weird errors and issues with their PCs freezing out the iPhone when using Windows 7 in conjunction with the Intel P55 USB chipset.

Apple's now famous App Store has passed the 100,000 approved iPhone app mark. Truly amazing to think about.

The mark is an “unofficial” milestone of sorts, however, as the count of currently available apps stands at only 92,000 or so.
