• iPhone under attack from Android invasion

  By Tony Bradley | 04 November, 2009 06:54

  There are only three days until Verizon joins the Android invasion. T-Mobile was first to embrace the open source Google operating system, but with the addition of Sprint, and now Verizon, Android is mounting a quiet revolution that could see it squash the iPhone OS and rise to a dominant position among mobile operating systems.

  By Tom Kaneshige | 22 September, 2009 01:52

  By Jared Newman | 07 August, 2009 00:50

  Who knew there were so many iPhone annoyances? Last week we listed ten common failings of the iPhone and discussed how to correct them. Maybe it was naïve to restrict the list to ten entries. Reader feedback suggests that iPhone users have no shortage of annoyances they'd like to see solved.

• Apple anger: Our 5 biggest iPhone beefs

  By JR Raphael | 06 August, 2009 09:17

  Well, Apple's done it again. The company has censored yet another app from its precious App Store, this time because it contained "objectionable" words. The app in question: a dictionary.

• As Apple rots, iPhone users revolt

  By David Coursey | 06 August, 2009 00:06

  Users are turning against the iPhone. Call it the summer of our discontent, but these hot, sticky months are proving an excellent time to not buy a smartphone. Apple and AT&T have only themselves to blame.

• Manage iPhones with Exchange

  By Michael Scalisi | 04 August, 2009 06:43

  When iPhones first started trickling into my office, I was a little apprehensive. At the time they only supported IMAP and POP3 for e-mail, which can be tricky to support in an Exchange environment. Two generations later, the iPhone has become a robust enterprise-grade mobile device.

• iPhone virus: What you need to know

  By Brennon Slattery | 01 August, 2009 02:10

  The iPhone's security flaws were laid bare at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas yesterday, and now the smartphone-clutching public has boiled itself into a frenzy. But how serious is this supposed iPhone virus, and what can be done to protect your iPhone from infection? Here is what we know, and why you probably shouldn't worry.

• iPhone Tips: How to Clean and Care For Your iPhone

  By Tom Kaneshige | 30 July, 2009 07:10

  It's a wonder Apple sales folks aren't dressed up like storks when they sell you an iPhone. The storied device has taken on a life of its own, and iPhone owners cradle them like newborns.

• iPhone owners, beware! (of iffy iPhone studies)

  By JR Raphael | 24 June, 2009 09:57

  BREAKING NEWS: Your Apple iPhone is bound to break! At least, if you believe a new study by an electronics warranty company that, by pure coincidence, happens to be promoting an iPhone warranty plan on its home page right now. Breaking news? Broken news might be more like it, as far as I'm concerned.

• Apple's iPhone 3G S dissected: What's the real cost?

  By JR Raphael | 25 June, 2009 06:47

  Apple's iPhone 3G S is the talk of the tech world this week. While some folks were disappointed a cheaper iPhone didn't debut at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, the 16GB iPhone 3G S may actually be a better deal than you'd think: The phone, according to a new analysis, costs nearly US$179 to make. It retails for US$199.

• iPhone 3G S: What's missing

  By Melissa J. Perenson | 24 June, 2009 01:22

  Now in its third generation, the iPhone handset has made improvements with each successive model. This year, though, the improvements are less about what you see and more about what's packed under the chassis--and what's available in the iPhone OS 3.0 software update (accessible to current iPhone owners and on new iPhone 3G S units).

• iPhone 3G S is evolution in action

  By Paul Venezia | 23 June, 2009 01:09

  The iPhone 3G S handset is well appointed, functional, and nicely packaged, but it's not at the high-end of the smartphone hardware scale. The OS and interface -- and the richly stocked App Store -- remain the best reasons to buy an iPhone. Unless you need 16GB or 32GB of storage, a compass, and a faster CPU, the iPhone 3G will suit you as well as the more expensive iPhone 3G S.

But Apple's servers are now up to scratch and everybody should have the 3.0 software update installed on their Phone and iPod Touch.
