The first update for the iPhone has arrived, Apple has just made available firmware 2.0.1 through iTunes. Of course the official word is that this update will take care of some “Bug fixes” but give me some time and I will see what I can dig up. While we are not expecting any new features, we [...]

Despite some earlier reports, it looks like the iPhone 3G will not be landing in Russia this year. According to a recent report from Russian news site Vedomosti, the iPhone 3G will be available in Russia legally beginning next year. Now of course there are lots of holes in this story so far, namely there [...]

In what seems like little opportunity for sales, USBFever must have found something that seems to be a mystery to me. Their latest offering is a replacement for something that Apple now includes with the purchase of an iPhone 3G, the SIM card ejector tool.

It may have taken just three days for customers to download those first 10 million apps from the App Store, but it took 10 days more to hit the 25 million mark. While still an impressive number it does seem to be slowing down just a bit. If you consider that the first 3 days [...]

Say is isn’t so, it already seems strange that we are still seeing long very long lines at Apple Stores on a daily basis, but the simple fact is that is seems like the demand has been higher than the supply.
