  • Apple sneaks in MobileMe server updates improving iPhone experience

    iPhone and iPhone 3G users with MobileMe subscriptions have been patiently waiting for Apple to get their push-email service up to par with Apple’s usually top-notch products. The struggle to find the silver lining in Apple’s MobileMe service has started to become a bit easier as Apple refines the service. And, in their quest to improve [...]

  • Mapquest goes iPhone - Full featured Mapquest maps optimized for iPhone

    Sure, the iPhone and iPhone 3G - let’s just make it easy and say “iPhone OS” - already provides users an integrated Google Maps application that provides all the driving directions, business information, and location data (thanks to cell-tower triangulation and GPS positioning) you could want. But, what kind of a free market would this [...]

  • Is your MobileMe working?

    Apple's problem-prone MobileMe launch is apparently still experiencing growing-pains. My MobileMe email still isn't pushing correctly. It's a hit or miss proposition at this point. Strangely, my push email was working just fine last week. And, apparently, I'm not alone, CNN Money is reporting that some MobileMe users are still out of luck with their push [...]

  • Apple gives MobileMe users an extra 30 days of service

    Following on Apple's not-so-smooth MobileMe launch alongside the iPhone 3G last week, Apple is offering all current MobileMe subscribers an extra month of free service. "The transition from .Mac to MobileMe was a lot rockier than we had hoped," said Apple. "We will be extending subscriptions by 30 days to customers free of charge [...]

  • Apple launches cloud-based push-computing with MobileMe

    Not that cloud-computing is anything new, but Apple's new MobileMe service has just taken off as the replacement to Apple's .Mac information synchronization service. Announced last month as a complement to the iPhone 3G launch, MobileMe is expected to give on-the-go Mac users some push-emailing support. MobileMe allows you to keep all your data in sync, [...]

  • Apple launches MobileMe for data sharing in the cloud

    The newly announced iPhone-successor has taken the lion's share of the Apple WWDC limelight today, but there are other notable announcements from Cupertino that seem to have gotten a bit lost in the shuffle. Apple has announced a new service for its hyper-connected customers. MobileMe is essentially the re-branded replacement for Apple's .Mac data-sharing service. With [...]

  • Hahlo 3 goes public, takes mobile iPhone Twitter to new levels

    The iPhone's slick multi-touch display is perfectly suited to the mobile Twitter addict's needs. Before the location-aware and natively installed, third-party Twitter application, Twinkle, booste iPhone Twittering to the next level, Hahlo took the cake as the best mobile Twitter web-app for the iPhone. And, with the public release of the new Hahlo 3 mobile Twitter [...]

  • Use your iPhone to make long-distance calls at local wireless rates - RingFree allows VoIP over GSM

    Now this is one intriguing method to make long-distance (international) phone calls for the price of local (domestic) wireless rates (not including any VoIP fees - which are incredibly cheap). RingFree basically allows you to call into their VoIP SIP server, pick the VoIP provider you’d like to use, and dial an international phone number - essentially allowing you to use your regular wireless minutes to make long-distance calls (say, to the UK, Finland, or Serbia). The RingFree multi-VoIP service is available for iPhone users, and provides and iPhone-like numeric keypad to preserve that iPhone-feel. Point your iPhone Safari browser to https://rf.com/ and register your iPhone number, some other relevant information, and then verify your PIN. It’s all fairly straightforward and hassle-free. After you register, you are prompted to select your VoIP provider of choice, enter your destination phone number (via that iPhone-esque numeric keypad), and get your international call going for the price of domestic wireless minutes. There’s some JavaScript transferred over the EDGE data network to get things off and running, but it’s a small bit of code (you should have an unlimited data plan anyway). Voice quality is reportedly good, and calls go through without too much delay. There’s no WiFi connection required and since barely any data is transferred, you don’t need a strong EDGE signal. Oh, and Google Talk and MSN Voice is supported too.

  • Could this be what the iPhone Starbucks quick-order system will look like?

    By now it’s a fairly by-gone conclusion that Apple will be announcing their partnership with Starbucks to deliver an iPhone-based online quick-order system. The design-gurus in Cupertino have already filed for a patent application to that effect, and we’re all just waiting on Steve Jobs to drop the espresso-bomb on us next week at Macworld Expo. So, just how would this iPhone-based Starbucks coffee-ordering system work? Well, designer Phil Lu drew up a few concept images to give us an idea. Keep in mind that all this concept work was done before the Apple patent application was made public. The screenshots look pretty slick and we’d be more than happy to use this system to order our Double Venti Soy Decaf Latte. When asked why he used a Semacode for purchase verification, Phil responded: This concept was designed before the Apple patent is widely publicized. Similar to ordering song through the web via iTune account, Semacode works like a digital “receipt,” allowing the user to use their iTunes account for the transaction (which will bypass credit card transaction/identification, and speed up the pick-up process). We should have more news next week. Keep reading for more concept pics of the iPhone Starbucks quickorder system.

  • Avaya gives iPhone some enterprise prowess - Avaya one-X Mobile coming to iPhone

    The iPhone isn’t exactly an enterprise device , that much is truth. But, that doesn’t stop throngs of businesspeople from insisting that their IT department support their new-fangled iPhone. Avaya’s taken heed and has plans to bring their Avaya one-X Mobile platform to the iPhone. Support for the year’s hottest handset is expected to come in Q1 2008, and will essentially turn your iPhone into another endpoint on the corporate network - by “endpoint on the corporate network” we mean that the all calls to the office phone will be routed to the iPhone when you’re out of the office. The Avaya one-X Mobile interface will allow iPhone users to access their visual voicemail, corporate directories, VIP lists, and allow incoming and outgoing voice calls under your office phone-number ID - all through an “enterprise-secure” connection. Check out this flash-based demo to get an idea of how Avaya’s one-X Mobile will work on the iPhone. Now, all we need is Apple-sanctioned ActiveSync and MS Exchange Server support . MacWorldExpo?

  • Mactracker updated with iPhone and iPod Touch info

    Technical geeks will be happy to hear that Mactracker has updated its sometimes useful, always interesting (to us, at least) database of Mac products to include the iPhone and the iPod Touch. The new Mactracker is upgraded to work with Leopard (you have upgraded, haven’t you?), integrates warranty information with iCal, shows “iTunes compatibility” for iPod, and has a revised search engine. If you just gotta know exactly what kind of video capability or storage options are available on your iPhone, or if you’re just bored at work and need to kill some time, head on over to Mactracker and get your fill of all that delicious technical jargon. We love specifications.
