Three Delicious Experiences With the iPhone

Over the past couple months, I’ve gotten to know my iPhone a little more, as I’ve done a lot more housecalls.  I rely on it to map my way around the city (Toronto) with its GPS, find places to grab a bite, and a few more things.
I’m happy to admit that I’m in the tank [...]

Does Anyone Else Use the iPhone On Chrome Throne?

Not that *I* do, of course (cough, cough), but I’ve noticed that browsing on the iPhone to be a fairly awesome mobile experience, where, of course, I can literally surf anywhere, and surf real webpages, not the mobile optimized crap that often passes as a “web experience”.

Some (Late) Thoughts on the iPhone 3G: Its Good, Bad and sometimes Ugly

Apple To Enforce Reasonable Data Plans In Canada? SHOCKING!

In a somewhat shocking maneuver, it seems like Rogers, who is the mobile carrier in Canada slated to offer the iPhone when it arrives (my money’s on next year) will, in fact, not be able to ream Canadians as they’re often wont to do, with their astronomical data transfer rates.
I had commented on this discrepancy [...]

Steve Jobs Plays Apple Faithful Like Chumps. Faithful Love It, Want More.

You may have heard that Steve Jobs and Apple have discounted the iPhone by $200 yesterday for a multitude of reasons. This move had Wall Street steamed, but it also had some of the faithful feeling … oh, I don’t know — like they were shanked with a sharpened Newton or something. Perhaps [...]
