Wait a minute - 2010? What happened to the Apple/AT&T 5 Year deal?
This weekend USA Today posted an interview with AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson. Several other blogs posted about it - and all of them have focused on one thing — the idea that the iPhone exclusivity deal has been “extended” to 2010.
There’s only one real problem with the report. 2010 isn’t an extension of anything…depending [...]
Tap Tap Revenge hits 1 Million iPhone/iPod Touch Users
The team over at Tapulous had a lot to celebrate this weekend. Their game Tap Tap Revolution for the iPhone/iPod Touch, reached 1 Million users on Friday.

Are Bloggers over stating the App Store problems?
Over the weekend, and again today, I have read posts on other blogs about the current issues surrounding the App Store, and problems that developers are having with it.
The first was on TUAW this weekend. It’s titled simply enough “iPhone 2.1 SDK Disappointments” but the post itself includes a variety of over the top [...]
MobileMe problems persist, Mossberg says “Pass”
Walt Mossberg has just reviewed Apple’s MobileMe, and his verdict was a resounding “pass”. His reasoning doesn’t even factor in the constant stream of problems the service has had since its launch.

Rogers offers new “limited time” plan - but IT’S A TRICK - don’t do it!
All the negative backlash that Rogers has received over the recently announced iPhone rate plans, plus the rumors that Apple is diverting iPhones to other areas because they expect Rogers sales to be minimal have caused the company to rethink their data plan strategy…but they still just don’t get it.
The company has decided to offer [...]
OpenMoko’s “Neo Freerunner” makes for an interesting iPhone Alternative
Last week I wrote a post here about how the LG Dare really wanted to be an iPhone. The point of the post was not that the Dare is a bad phone, just that it was disappointing to me to see LG create a phone that tried so hard to look like the iPhone [...]
LG’s Dare would really like to be an iPhone
Verizon today began shipping the LG Dare, and has finally revealed the price of the new device. The handset should be available for purchase online by Thursday, and will hit retail stores on July 3rd.
The phone will retail for $250. You then get a $50 mail-in-rebate…which will bring the cost down [...]
