O2 announced the tariffs for iPhone 4 today to much criticism. Gone are the unlimited data bundles of old, replaced by what could only be described as meagre allowances, reduced voice minutes, additional charges for MMS messages and higher charges. The Plans I thought it would be interesting to compare the current plan I’m on […]

It seems almost inevitable. The room’s been booked, the invitations have been sent out and the flights are scheduled. Apple must be revealing a Tablet on the 27th. There remains, however, many questions surrounding exactly what form the device will take. I have a particular interest in the tablet’s user interface. Interfaces are something that […]

Evolution not revolution seems to be the quote of choice amongst reviewers of the iPhone 3GS, but I think it sells the device somewhat short. While it’s easy to dismiss minor bumps to speed, in practice it feels like a different phone. I’ve now been using the device for a little over two […]

Apple have made quite a big deal regarding the sheer number of iPhone applications available. A figure of 50,000 was touted at WWDC. That’s not insignificant, and Apple can be quite proud that they’ve created an atmosphere in which App developers want to publish (despite little hiccups along the way). However, there’s been one glaring […]

The initial release, which went hand in hand with the first iPhone hardware, was out there to quickly woo the market and gain a significant footing in an already crowded marketplace.

You may have noticed that some of the tech blogs out there have been covering the botched launch of an update the Google’s iPhone application.

Apple promises the full Internet on the iPhone. Not a cut down, mobile version like on other devices. It’s a bold statement, one that has already got them in hot water with the British ASA (Advertising Standards Authority).

If there’s one thing missing from the 3g iPhone that everyone’s calling for, it’s voice guided navigation. While the maps application serves a purpose, it can be distracting if you’re trying to follow of while driving.
