Jim Lynch: Off the Top of My Head…

I’ve considered switching to Android from iPhone. This certainly wouldn’t hurt Android’s chances with me: Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha gave a speech at Chicago’s Executive Club on Wednesday in which he revealed the company plans to release an Android-based smartphone running at an unheard of 2GHz, twice the speed of the current top of the [...]

Wow. Well I’m glad I only have an iPhone 3G! Technology sites and Apple forums have been indundated with comments about the new model overheating and becoming discoloured since it was launched on June 19. Some iPhone users have complained that the device has become too hot to hold to the ear during long calls [...]

The developer of iFart Mobile for the iPhone and iPod Touch is making money hand over fist: Fart, therefore I am (the #1 iPhone app).  Or something like that.  iFart is fast becoming one of the most popular iPhone/iPod Touch applications out there.  The developer of iFart, Joel Comm, has been pretty forthcoming with sales [...]

I guess today is the day they go on sale at Walmart. Wal-Mart officially announced that the company will start selling Apple’s iPhone on Sunday, December 28th. The news confirms multiple reports about the impending sale. The report also confirms that rumors of a $99 Wal-Mart iPhone were incorrect. Wal-Mart will sell the iPhone for [...]

Wow. Well maybe Steve Jobs really did create something divine. The Vatican has lent its approval to an iPhone application – with the iBreviary bringing the book of daily prayers to Apple’s handset. The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social Communications has given its seal of approval to the application, which was created by Italian priest [...]

PCMag has a nice article about 21 cool iPhone apps: So, you’ve got a gleaming new iPhone 3G. After you make a few calls to tell your friends, snap a few pictures, and try out the Web browser, it’s time to load that thing up with software. After all, this device lets you go way [...]

I think this is a great idea. The app store is getting really crowded and it’s getting harder and harder for people to easily find quality apps. Faced with criticism over the way it’s been grouping applications on the digital shelves of the App Store, Apple this week is making some changes to the store’s [...]

Venture Beat has a piece on problems with the iPhone 2.2 update. Or should I say they are talking about how they haven’t had any problems unlike an article CNet wrote where they implied that there were tons of problems. When I saw the headline on CNET’s iPhone Atlas blog proclaiming that “iPhone OS 2.2 [...]

I’m so glad these sub-human savages weren’t carrying iPhones. It sickens me to see technology designed to enhance human life and well being being perverted by evil people. THEIR battle fatigues are jeans, T-shirts and trainers. They are the new breed of terrorist ¿ using everyday technology as a weapon of war. Among their arsenal [...]

Speaking of mobile phones…wow. Neat. A gun disguised as a cell phone. Apparently it can hold four rounds. Not a huge amount but, hey, it’s a cell phone right? Not like you can cram 19 rounds of ammo in something like that. However it’s a rather ugly looking phone. Couldn’t they have designed it to [...]

I’m glad to hear this, I really am. According to a report published by Digitimes, HTC now believes that it will be able to ship one million G1s in the fourth quarter, which is a 40% increase over the initial 600,000 estimate. The company revised its unit forecast for the Touch Diamond as well – [...]

Heh, heh. Well this is a bit of a mess to be sure. Be careful if you’re taking nude photos of yourself, you don’t want to end up like this guy! A WOMAN is divorcing her husband after he told her it was an “iPhone glitch” that sent pictures of his genitals to another woman. [...]

Looks like you can write your own ticket if you’re a good iPhone app developer.

I put up a review of Google Earth for the iPhone 3G. Check it out. Great app and it’s free!

Very cool app and it’s free. Google Earth lets people virtually fly around a 3D view of the world made from satellite and aerial imagery mapped onto the planet’s mountains and valleys. The iPhone version reproduces this core experience, downloading imagery from Google’s servers as the perspective shifts and dotting the map with landmarks, photos, [...]

After I got my iPhone I quickly realized that I needed a bluetooth based ear piece. It’s much easier using something like that when walking or driving. I had initially gotten the Apple bluetooth ear piece but that thing ended up totally sucking. So, going by feedback I heard, I got a Jawbone instead. Well [...]

Erick Schonfeld has a good round up of launch apps for Google’s Android phone. The apps I use the most come with the device: Gmail, the Web browser, and Google Maps, in that order. The phone also comes with the Amazon MP3 store, which lets you buy songs and download them over the air directly [...]

Interesting piece on style and tech in cellphones. After years of running in the same direction toward smaller mobile phones with color screens and built-in cameras, the world’s handset makers need to find new ways to make their phones sell, analysts said on Friday. Some go for fashion and design, other opt for style and [...]

I wouldn’t mind something like this but I’d rather just be able to use an SMD card the way I do on my Pocket PC. It would be nice to play tunes on my cell phone just by slipping the SDM card into the phone. Apple announced its intentions to bring music from its iTunes [...]
