One thing I quickly noticed when browsing the App Store, both in iTunes and on the iPhone, was that there seemed to be some bizarre method of listing the apps. I like finding things in neat categories and alphabetical order within the categories, but there seemed some anomalies in the sorting that placed apps out [...]

I think the very first icon I clicked on my iPhone was the one for the App Store. After all the hype for the App Store, I wanted to know exactly what ELSE I could be doing with the phone besides what Apple intended. Available through both the iPhone as well as the iTunes Store, [...]

… and all I got was this bricked iPhone. You may have heard something or other about a phone that got released today? I didn't even go stand in line, bad tech blogger that I am, but my husband gleefully stood in line for nearly four hours to get his phone, and surprised me with [...]

There's nothing quite like the smell of a copy-cat early in the morning.  But then, what else would we expect of our trusty social network Facebook?  Aside from the many other cues Facebook has taken from different social platforms, when the Facebook app rolled out this morning as part of the iPhone Apps store, there [...]

The gap between the designers and the intended users is growing ever wider, and [...]

Yesterday, I tuned in to no fewer than three liveblogs for the announcement of the phone I've been waiting for: the 3G iPhone. Last year I even replaced my Motorola RAZR at the unsubsidized price just so I could get the iPhone 3G when they finally came out with one, so yesterday's announcement had me [...]

Though Steve Jobs' keynote at the World Wide Developers Conference tends to be one of the biggest Apple events anually, today's keynote was a bit lack-luster.  Jobs announced a 3G iPhone with real GPS for a frugal $199, a fleet of iPhone Apps store products, OS X "Snow Leopard," a change to .Mac and more.  [...]
