iBook G4I’ve been seriously considering the purchase of a 9-inch Eee PC for one primary reason: it’s small. Right now, I have 12-inch iBook that I purchased in 2005. I love the look and feel of the notebook, although it could be a little thinner and weigh a little less. It’s not in...

Apple released iPhone firmware version 2.1, the third update to the iPhone 2.0 software, this past Friday. I updated my iPhone in the afternoon, and hoped for the best. I was not disappointed.
The update corrected several security bugs, including a nasty one that allowed anyone to bypass the iPhone’s...

Last week, I purchased Twittelator Pro, the mobile Twitter app for iPhone, from Apple’s App Store. There were several features that Twitteriffic and Twinkle simply did not have, and I figured that the $4.99 price tag was worth the risk. Since then, I have not used either Twitteriffic or Twinkle...

For the last two weeks, I’ve been participating in two threads on Apple’s support forums. Like many of the users there, I saw the backup time for my iPhone go from a few minutes to over two hours. This is completely unacceptable, and I’ve been meaning to write about it, but simply haven’t...

iPhone developers are complaining that Apple has not figured out a way to allow them to have others beta test their software. This is, as expected, making it hard for the developers to fix issues with their applications. As a result, users are giving apps bad reviews, harming the reputations of the developers...
