"It seems to me that other smartphones trade principally on their keyboards as the advantage.  They appeal to people who are really tied in to email, or perhaps text messaging of various forms.  The iPhone, by contrast, trades on its web browser.  That’s not to say the other capabilities aren’t excellent, but the web browser is what really makes the iPhone rock. " - Atul Arora

The Last Word on the BlackBerry Storm: It’s Not So HotI haven’t laid eyes on a BlackBerry Storm in person yet. More to the point, I haven’t laid fingers on one–so I have no first-hand impressions of hiw the first touch-screen BlackBerry compares to traditional BlackBerries, the iPhone, and other alternatives. But a gazillion reviews hit the Web today–so many, in fact, that I can’t [...]...

HP TouchSmart TX2 is a nice touchscreen laptopNothing like a touchscreen computer from HP, and the TouchSmart TX2 is one of the coolest I have seen for a while. The touchscreen can be used by two fingers, and the user can apply iPhone gestures like pinch, rotate, arc, flick, press and drag, and single and double tap. The TouchSmart TX2 is unique as it has a specially-designed hinge so a user can convert it into three modes: PC, display, and tablet. It even has a rechargeable digital ink pen that allows the user to draw on the screen. If you want to use the pen to write,...

Free Version of TouchType Email App Now Available [Featured IPhone Application] iPhone and iPod touch only: A free, "lite" version of previously mentioned email composition app TouchType—which sells for 99 cents in the iTunes Store—is now available. TouchType offers landscape view (and wider keyboard) for composing email on your iPhone or touch, and even better, can save and load reusable text snippets to reduce your typing and make sending repetitive emails a matter of a whole lot fewer taps. The two differences between the 99-cent version and the free Lite version? Twitter integration and spell check. TouchType Lite is a free download for the iPhone and iPod touch running the...

Dealzmodo Hack: Accessorize Your iPod/iPhone Like MacGyver [Dealzmodo Hack]The ubiquity of iPods has led to a ridiculous glut of accessories, some useful, most not. The best of them have essentially become a seamless part of the iPod experience, but they'll all cost you — and it really starts to add up. The expansion of the iPod universe, however, is twofold; more official products are followed closely by nearly as many unofficial ones. In other words, you can fully accessorize your iPod or iPhone, old or new, pretty much for free. Cases A case will usually be the first thing people buy for their pods, and the first thing...

Hmm???Is This Bug a Problem, or Nothing to Worry About? Tech Crunch is reporting that a flaw in iPhone security allows software developers to circumvent security so that arbitrary code can be updated and run at will.  The exploit takes advantage of pre-set ???default.png??? images???such as the current date and time, or a ???loading??? image???that is run when new software is being loaded.  By putting a workaround into an application to be loaded, the software tricks the iPhone into giving access to the default.png images and allowing arbitrary code to be uploaded and run at will.  The bug completely circumvents the Apple???s App Store approval process.Is this really a...

Apple News: Orb, Boxee and Icky HDCPThanksgiving is a week away (Wait, really?), and we have a bounty of Apple news to report — though not all of it will make you give thanks. First, the good news. Our colleagues over at the mobile devices blog jkOntheRun are excited that the Orb 2.0 app is available through the iTunes AppStore and no longer requires a jailbroken iPhone. Orb lets you stream video content like downloaded videos and live TV from your PC (oddly, it doesn’t work on Macs yet) to your handheld device. Think of it like a Sling for your iPhone. Now the not-so-good news....
