Today, while taking some shots of items for a post with my iPhone I needed to transfer them across to my Mac for some sizing, scaling, and prep for loading up to this blog. My goto app is ImageCapture.app on the Mac which lets me quickly see my iOS photos, select what I want to…

iPhone 2G
I finally got around to taking a look at my original iPhone – the 2G. I used it for about 2 years, when I got the 3GS the nannie took it and spilled apple juice on it (killing it). It sat in a drawer for years. I pulled it out and took it apart. I…
2 cool free iPhone apps
1 Mint 2 PCalc Lite two great apps to have on your phone, and they don’t cost a dime. Meanwhile, I’ve got SimCity for the iPhone and it’s everything they claim it is, only downside is that it can’t run in the backgroud. I no longer need a port for the Mac…
iPhone Gmail Fail
If your iPhone won’t connect to Gmail when you first try and set it up, use this link http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha to resolve the issue. Found the pointer over at the Apple Forums…
iPhone OTA Sync to Gmail/Plaxo
My wife just purchased an iPhone 3G, but she still uses Windows XP (I can’t get her to give up that ThinkPad). I’ve never experienced iTunes/iPhone syncing on Windows so I was curious to see what was going to happen when she plugged it in to her laptop. If she used a Mac I’d have…
iPhone syncing on Linux
I haven’t tried this (I use a Mac) but someone has the iPhone syncing on Linux (looks like ubuntu based). There is a lot of info about the iPhone/iTunes pairing and syncing via USB over at the site…
iPhone UI Mockups
We are gearing up for some iPhone development, so these look marvelous. Photoshop UI Elements OmniGraffle UI Elements…
Quake3 on iPhone
It looks like on Friday hermitworks released a video showing a patched version ioquake for the iTouch/iPhone. No word is this is built on the opensource toolchain or the Official SDK, but I bet its jailbroken…
Could Android crush iPhone?
I’ve never been happier with a device than I have been my my iPhone. However, there is one huge problem. You can’t write your own software for it (this doesn’t count) , or even hack some existing software that someone else wrote. OK, at least you can’t do those things without using a process called…
Video on iPhone
I’ve hit on a little TV obsession here in my idle hours between baby feedings. This one is cool because it involves way more than just watching something on the telly. This is unavailable-in-the-US show watching. The kind where you pull torrents of the show down from the net using semi-legit sites, then go about…
What will you do with your $100?
I’m planning on getting iLife ’08 or an airport express. Getting the $100 credit is the nice touch by Apple. I was happy paying $599 for my iPhone- the price drop will only mean more iPhones on the street, and more iPhone compatible websites…
ZunePhone
Yes, this is all over, but it’s so funny…
iPhone 1.0.1 update available
iTunes has the new iPhone 1.0.1 update- the first one from Apple. It says it just has some bug fixes…
iPhone Compromise Reported
There is a lot of buzz regarding this article that was printed in the NYT this morning. ISE (Independent Security Evaluators) found that not only does every process run as root on the iPhone, the heap is executable. So they fuzzed mobileSafari till they found an overflow, which allowed them to execute any API call…
First non-Apple iPhone App – creeping closer to N770 hackability
The first ever non-apple application has been allegedly run on the iPhone. The people over at the iPhone DevWiki report. Watch out Nokia 770, soon the iPhone will be as hackable as you are! At least, some day it will. This user, Nightwatch is using his own arm toolchain, so this isn’t like we have…
Next Internet Tablet to include Phone?
Nokia must be responding internally to the iPhone mania. The question is, will it be a more advanced smartphone, or a phone enabled internet tablet? Scoble asked around and only got some smiles. Can Nokia really continue to push the Internet Tablet line, sans phone, now that the iPhone has set the bar so high?…
Nokia 800, N95, iPhone Browser Video Comparison
Update 06/17/07: Here is the link to the original post over at atmaspheric. The blog is worth reading. I found a cool video over at umpcportal.com, filmed by Jonathan Greene. He puts an iPhone, Nokia 800 and the N95 thru their paces while browsing the web. The video is nicely done and well narrated. It…
iPhone Development- Old School
There was immediate and critical response to Steve Job’s announcement of the SDK for iPhone…. use html. But is Apple on to something? Forcing eager developers to use the open standards of the web? Forsaking almightly Flash? No IDE? Apple seemed by many to be channeling the Reality Distortion Field at full blast. But the…
Size of iPhone vs Nokia 770
I took some pictures showing the size difference between the 770 and iPhone. iPhone is really is smaller than you’d first think. Unfortunately, it also has a lower resolution screen than the 770. The zoom feature makes up for that somewhat (see the last picture in this post for an example of a zoom). It…
The Power of Marketing
Posts that contain IPhone per day for the last 30 days: Posts that contain N800 per day for the last 30 days: How about posts that contain Nokia per day for the last 30 days: Amazing. I wonder how much Apple spent on the marketing for iPhone launch? Speaking of the iPhone, I’ve been happily…
iPhone- cutting edge haptic interface
UPDATED: Neils in the comments set me right…. I’m just blocking the sound with my finger. I don’t think this is any haptic interface at this point. Too bad, it’s a cool idea. The iPhone is an ingenious device– anyone that’s used one for a few hours can tell you this. Even with all the…
Philadelphia EDGE Service Restored
Since I activated the iPhone on Saturday morning, Edge has never worked here in Philly. I finally called ATT and they reported no Edge for PA- all of PA? Regardless, it just started working now. I get a little E icon replacing the wifi icon. Seems pretty snappy…
ATT iPhone Activation
There is a special number for ATT iPhone service issues: 1-877-800-3701 This seems to be for ATT accounts, and not the Go-Phone pre-pay accounts…
iPhone: 500,000 sold this weekend
They pushed out half a million of them, mostly the 8 Gig. So much for it being a flop. I’m sure verizon and sprint execs are taking the day off, for counseling…
iPhone: Everything and More
So the iPhone is everything that Apple has said, as far as I concerned. I telling testimonial is over at Scobleizer. Scoble has had the Nokia N95 and been swooning over it- till he’d had a day to play with his son’s new iPhone. I didn’t wait in line- just drove over to a Center…
