Some say that the fact that you can access your PC’s computing power remotely via mobile devices, that the PC already has one foot in the grave. Let me tell you, that the PC started smelling like road kill around 2005. It is long past burying.
There will always be a need for PC’s in certain industries, but that has little relevance to the consumer world of computing devices as a whole. It is thought that the iPhone started the plummet of the popularity of the PC, but the iPhone was created because of the shift; it did not create the shift. Steve Jobs made the decision in light of the shift that was already happening. The iPhone simply gave the shove that gave it momentum. +Continue Reading
The next police officer who has you in his clutches might be intimidating you with his new iPhone, in addition to his terrifying pen and pad. Law enforcement are increasingly relying on iPhone to match fingerprints. The FBI are also jumping on the bandwagon. They will be utilizing the touchscreen technology of the iPhone to locate terrorist suspects.
Every minute is critical when catching a criminal. The iPhone will condense the time required by law enforcement in matching fingerprints up against the national database, according to the president of Fulcrum Technologies.

The year 2007 was the decisive time in the history of the computer regarding the outcome of the struggle between Microsoft and Apple. They both thought they had the next big thing in computing. Only one emerged a winner.
Microsoft had its MS Surface, a tabletop with multi-touch capabilities. Apple had the iPhone, need we say more? How many people have seen an MS Surface since the D5 Conference back in 2007? And how many have seen an Apple iPhone? The conference itself was historic if only for the fact that both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates appeared together in a joint interview. +Continue Reading
India isn’t buying smartphones. Apple is out, BlackBerry is in. India accounts for over 600 million active subscribers. Apple’s appeal strikes Norwegians more than Indians. Nokia and RIM are tapping into the gold of the world’s second biggest market for mobile technology, since the growth rate in India is as big as 70% annually over the next 4 years. That translates to these companies recovering some of their losses to Apple in America and Europe.
One opinion, posed by an analyst in Toronto, suggests that the wireless carriers of India are too slow at offering 3G nationwide and that this nullifies the advantages of iPhone features. On the other hand, RIM has just the right timing with the perfect product for the situation.
Indian analysts tell that the reason for the rejection of Apple is that most networks in India are still 2G and the main advantages of Apple lie in the 3G networks. A measly 0.2% of the world’s iPads were delivered onto the Indian market. +Continue Reading
It is coming sooner than you think. The next iPhone will be unveiled on October 4th, so we’ve heard. Rumors are flying back and forth regarding the precise date, not to mention the features of the latest iPhone. Although the date has been a moving target, AllThingsD, the Wall Street Journal website pinned it down and many believe this is now a fairly certain time. It is likely Apple will also have the iPhone ready for purchase only a few weeks after the official keynote. We sure hope so.
Certainly the iPhone 5 itself is the reason enough to attend, but this historic event has far more significance for the company than any single product. With the leaving of the ever popular Steve Jobs, Apple is undergoing a transfer of power unparalleled in the history of the industry. Whether its value can withstand, this transition will be seen over the long haul. Right now we are all eager to see whether Tim Cook can fill the shoes of the charismatic leader that has stepped down. +Continue Reading
Today a new iOS game hit the Apple App Store, for a few hours. They yanked it off because of its criticism of Apple. The question is how it got approved in the first place.
Phone Story, an app by Molleindustria, portrays the lifecycle of an iPhone, with a bit of a political edge to it. It’s this edge that got it ejected from the Apple App Store only 3 hours after it was approved. It is a documentary in game format, following from the mining of Coltan in the Congo to dispensing of your heavy metal waste materials and polluting the world. To get the next part of the story you must finish a mini-game.
A narrator speaks behind each mini-game, relaying the relevance of that level to the stage of the iPhone life stage. The content that got it kicked was the overall judgment of Apple. +Continue Reading
