Skobbler US is a free turn-by-turn navigation app available now from the App Store. But is it any good? Read on to check out the general opinion.

Apple’s decision to restrict what companies can serve ads to iOS-based mobile devices has caught the eye of federal regulators who reportedly have opened an investigation into the practice. The Cupertino, Calif. company plans to launch its iAd service July 1.

Filed under: iPhone , iPad Thunder Game Works kindly came by to meet up with us this week at WWDC , and Michael Taylor and Kris Jones of the company behind the popular Trenches iPhone game. They shared some insight about what they saw this week, offered us a chance to see concepts of the iPad version and check out a brand new title they're working on. What we saw was pretty impressive -- Trenches is a well-polished take on the castle assault genre, combining fun WWII-style troops and weapons with…

It seems like the entire United Kingdom (at least those who aren't out partying it up with Patsy Kensit at the Met Bar) has emailed us in the last two minutes to clue us in on the fact that O2 has posted its new iPhone 4 pricing. It looks like your beloved "unlimited 3G" plans of are a thing of the past -- instead, you'll be paying for up to 1GB of data of month. As you approach the limit, a text message will notify you and let you purchase an 500MB for £5 or 1GB for £10. How very…

The iPhone is made of aluminosilicate glass. Apple says it's "chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic" and it's "ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever." Well, not enough to survive a 3.5-foot drop. More »

From Barcelona-based Herraiz Soto (the same people who brought you zen text editor Ommwriter) comes another idea for your notebook Mac: Bros and Mos, aka Stick with me baby.
They’re decorative stickers that add a little personality to the Apple symbol on your computer’s lid. The Bros are hairstyles; the Mos are moustaches. The stickers are [...]

U.S. antitrust regulators are preparing to launch an investigation into Apple’s decision to effectively bar AdMob from its iOS devices. The Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that it’s currently unclear whether the Federal Trade Commission or the Justice Department will handle the investigation. Apple recently changed its iOS developer terms to forbid the sharing of user information with “an advertising…
Filed under: iPhone We've been touring the mean streets of San Francisco this week, and when we ended up at a party a little too far away from the hotel the other night, TUAW's own Victor Agreda pulled out Taxi Magic , an app he'd recently downloaded on his iPhone. It's a free application on the App Store , and it uses your location to automatically show you a list of taxi services at your disposal. If you're too far away for one of Taxi Magic's partner services, the app works like…

As we've heard from a handful of commenters (and some emails), a lot of you guys are wondering just what happened to a post we did yesterday comparing the EVO 4G to the iPhone 4. Well allow us to unearth the shocking truth behind the mystery. We had a debate yesterday as to whether or not it was fair to compare a phone we did a thorough review on (the EVO 4G -- you can read all about how awesome we think it is right here ) to a phone we only had a short time to play with (the new iPhone). I was in the…
The free Qik Live provides only basic recording features but excels at online sharing. The paid Qik Video Camera links to fewer online sites but offers many special recording effects missing from Qik Live and the built-in camera in older iPhones.
The iPhone 4 isn't even in the hands of consumers yet and already we have pics of one with a broken screen. This particular handset was a shell with the screen only and was broken in a test to see how strong the screen was. Apparently it's worse than the iPhone 3GS in ruggedness. Samsung has [...]
We’ve known for some time that the iPhone and iPod Touch are not as secure as we would like them to be — and unfortunately the same can be said about the new iPad. The lack of built-in encryption leaves our personal data on any of these devices at risk. Luckily for iPhone and iPod [...]
While many Twitter apps exist for the young iPad, an official Twitter for iPad is still missing. However, that is likely to change according to the designer behind Tweetie, which was purchased by Twitter not long ago.
The iPhone 4 is great, but it's still probably not worth it to continue with AT&T's terrible service.
Got an iPad? Have you thought about using it to replace your laptop? Here's 11 Apps for that!

And just like that, the UK has turned into a veritable treasure trove of carrier choice . Three has just announced that it too will be carrying Apple's latest iPhone starting from June 24, expanding on the options to be provided by O2, Orange, Vodafone and, most recently, T-Mobile. That's now the complete set of five UK networks all ready to take your name and credit card number on launch day, while Three is also the first to announce its pre-order start date -- which it places at June 15, the same…

What's going on?! Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and now Three have announced they'll be selling the iPhone 4 when it hits on June 24th. The US' exclusive carrier, of course, remains with AT&T. Madness. [ Three ] More »

A few days after Tweetie for Mac was named a winner in Ars Technica’s design awards for best Mac OS X software, Tweetie and Twitter for iPhone developer Loren Brichter has said that an iPad version is in the works… and he soon plans to get back into the update cycle for Tweetie for Mac [...]

Yesterday, we posted an iBook that had been hollowed out and modeed into a working iPad keyboard dock. Today? The same concept, but accomplished far more elegantly with a vintage Mac Classic… complete with a custom MacOS desktop to keep things appropriately retro. Superb. The only thing missing here is a wireless iPad keyboard to [...]

In 1991, a pair of scientists published a paper in Nature, detailing a intriguing new discovery: the dye-sensitized solar cell . Today, one of them won €800,000 for his efforts, and the 2010 Millennium Technology Prize . Michael Grätzel accepted the award for the low-cost solar cells that often bear his name, and which make possible the sunglasses , windows and iPhone patents we seem to spot every few days. Hear the good professor speak about his invention in a video after the break. Continue reading…
