Yeah, a variety of android phones have already sold millions. I also heard that Google has a new android phone too. Motorola and Sony are betting on android for their flagging cell phone fortunes too. It’s not going to kill the iPhone though. Or maybe I should say it’s not enough to kill the iPhone. [...]

This release was long in the making. Now you can type entries in landscape mode and moderate comments from anywhere. Although there’s nothing like a full-sized keyboard, this will do good for emergencies and those occasions when you really need to write something on the go.
Some people think the iPhone is struggling in Japan. I never thought it would take off in epic proportions like the US because even Japanese kids have cell phones that classify as smart phones by global standards and it’s been like this for close to a decade.

The fact is we’re still waiting for a revolution to happen. Maybe if everybody in the world had iPhones and also [...]

My experience leading up to the iPhone 2.1 update was nothing short of horrendous. I think I had maybe a week or two as a honeymoon period and from there the wonder and awe quickly disintegrated into frustration and finally apathy. Before the iPhone would frequently crash and even get trapped in the black screen [...]
I’m at a train station on the way back from work tapping away on the iPhone like a one-finger monkey. Aside from the stunted input method I’ve got a full-blown blogging client right in my hands, a dynamic map with current location, an interface to a couple social networks, breaking news, train tables, a [...]
Now that I got my 3G iPhone juiced up with location awareness (I’m assuming this is a background thing) off by default, the batter life is actually not so bad. The thing about the iPhone is that it’s a surprisingly good phone. For some reason, I was under the impression that phone functionality was more [...]
