Orb, one of my long-time favorite applications for remotely streaming home media has finally come to the iTunes AppStore. Up to now, Orb was only possible on jailbroken phones, but somehow, Apple has approved the application for everyday use. With the $9.99 application, you can access and view various...

Not really a news flash to most folks, but if you're a numbers-crunching kind of person, the latest AdMob metrics report might give you something to chew on. I'll cut to the chase: they say that the iPhone is the number one smartphone worldwide in mobile browsing. Here in the...

The Flash coders at Adobe have been very busy folks and this week they've demonstrated full versions of Flash 10 running on Nokia, Windows Mobile and Google Android devices. Adobe wants to get the latest full version of Flash running on all mobile smartphones and frankly that's what we as...

AT&T is all over the connectivity map and is seemingly doing all they can to get customers connected to the web. First up they have purchased Wayport's 3,000 hotspots to make their hotspot collection even bigger than before and bringing their US hotspot count to 20,000. This move on the...

I was sitting in a comfy chair at home this weekend and spinning through my FriendFeeds as I do frequently to see what my peeps were up to. I find it a brilliant use of a few moments when they present themselves because there are no shortage of topics being...

Have we finally come to the conclusion that we already knew? I'm speaking of the on-again, off-again trials and tribulations of included hotspot access for iPhones. Like bad prequels, people saw it and then it went away earlier this year. A few times, in fact. But now it looks to...

You may be aware that I was using a Blackberry prior to succumbing to the lure of the iPhone 3G. I'm getting asked by a few folks how I compare the overall utility of the iPhone 3G to the Blackberry 8830 I have been using for a while. I have...

Just a last, quick note before I log out and have a Super MonkeyBall marathon this afternoon. Some folks were wondering if the first-gen iPhones wouldn't be able to take advantage of LBS or Location Based Services since there no true GPS. I installed the free Weatherbug application a few...
