In a week that saw many users receive their iPhone 4S including myself, Apple decided to go on a tear and create a few PR issues with developers. However, I guess the end result of that disaster in the Internet world is that Apple decided to fix one Charlie Miller’s well known and thoroughly explained bug (@0xcharlie) after unceremoniously booting him from the Apple Developers program. They took this bug and a nasty battery drain on the iPhone 4S and…
The folks who produce the iPhone App Camera+ (http://www.campl.us) have put a very nice comparison of the different iPhone cameras online. The comparison which starts with the original iPhone and ends with the iPhone 4S and two professional Canon Cameras, shows the distinct differences of each camera. The iPhone 4S does very well in the comparison showing some of the crispness that the new camera is supposed to have. You can check out the comparison at http://campl.us/posts/iPhone-Camera-Comparison
With the release of iOS 5 this week by Apple, most of the iPhone users in the world were faced with the possibility of getting the update fairly immediately. Unfortunately, my iPad 2 did not see the update until yesterday. With a bit of trepidation, I went ahead and took the plunge. Yes, both feet in and updated. While my iPhone 3gS had updated to iOS 5 smoothly, the download for the iPad 2 seemed to drag on forever in…
Well, we finally broke down and upgraded our iPhone 3gS and there are many impressive things about iOS 5 on the iPhone 3gS. Yet, there is something missing. We couldn’t quite place our hand on it but we figured we would break it down piece by piece. While the introduction to iCloud was nice and simple, allowing us at the end to simply not use it if we so desired, it was sort of, shall we say, commanding in the…
The iOS 5 Update for the iPhone and iPad has finally been released and the only thing we could say here was WOW!

Included in the update is the following items: • Notifications ◦ Swipe from the top of any screen to view…

Apple, Inc. began taking pre-orders for their latest incarnation of the iPhone, the iPhone 4S. While many speculated that the pre-ordering was done because of the hohum attitude about the new device, sales of the new phone have been more than satisfying to the companies selling the device. A few early morning issues with server availability caused some frustration among buyers, yet AT&T reported that their systems had taken over 200,000 orders for the new phone in the first 12…

Notes making the rounds in the blogs today are making light of the fact that Siri, the new iPhone 4S personal assistant’s name is similar sounding to the Japanese word Shiri. Shiri, or Oshiri in Japanese is rear or bottom and certainly not a word I would believe Apple would want associated with their latest product. A similar incident happened when the iPad was introduced in Japan. AiPad is an adult diaper brand in Japan and this fact apparently escaped…

With less than 10 hours to go until the iPhone5 announcement, it is funny to read the hubub on many of the main steam media sites. It seems that many in the main stream, including the Wall Street Journal want the iPhone 5 announcement to be a failure. Videos like “Is the iPhone loosing its cool factor” and “Little Buzz Ahead of Apple’s iPhone Event” being the most popular on the site seems that they are pushing that negative agenda….
