        • Those of you with iPhone 3G’s loaded with the recently released Skype application have likely found themselves only to be able to make and receive phone calls while using a WiFi connection.

          • Filed under: iPhone , App Store , iPod touch Well, that was quite an uproar. Now it seems to be over, at least for the moment. AT&T now says: "The language added on March 30 to AT&T's wireless data service Terms and Conditions was done in error. It was brought to our attention and we have since removed it. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." Hmmm. Now everyone can go back to being mad at Sling for dropping iPhone support for the old hardware. Ah, the power of the…

                  • Yahoo's new mobile apps, HTC's updated WinMo UI and a new multi-platform app called 3deep are all chasing after the Palm Pre's Synergy functionality, gathering all social media /location aware services in one place. The Synergy functionality on the Palm Pre really kick-started this craze back in January, when Palm debuted the system of integrating all your web services into their native UI. This week, at the CTIA phone show in Vegas, it seems like everyone wants a piece of this action. Lets look…
                    • Filed under: iPhone , App Store , iPod touch I thought I'd seen pretty much everything, but as more and more iPhone apps come out, there are an increasing number that lean toward the bizarre. A good example is Corbeau , [App Store link] a U.S. $1.99 application that lets you create ransom notes or threatening emails with little effort. Of course, it's all in fun, but one wonders about the mind behind some of these apps. With Corbeau (French for crow, which is slang for someone who sends anonymous…

                          I’ve tried out quite a few photo manipulation apps on the iPhone, but most have either seemed awkward and clumsy to use or have just made me feel like I need to be much more artistic in order to use and enjoy them properly. ColorSplash [...]

                                • When Skype for iPhone was announced back in January, we knew it would be one of the most highly anticipated apps in the App Store. We were right, with the app reaching over one million downloads just two days after it was released earlier this week .

                                  • Seeing as a good number of people pick up iPod shuffles for use while working out, this might be a bit of an issue. An Apple thread discussion has blossomed with reports that the 3rd gen unit's gone sentient and is maxing out the volume while users are doing cardio. The conjecture is that its volume control-equipped headphones might not be moisture resistant and is having averse reactions to sweat. Of course, we could take the "it's a feature, not a bug approach" and assume Apple's…
