Apple may have delayed the release of the tablet computer, according to a number of sources, because of component selection. Inevitably this has led to a number of reports that it's not going to...

An Apple iPhone virus is on the loose in Australia. According to reports it's an odd one; it replaces your wallpaper with a picture of singer Rick Astley and an inoffensive slogan. It affects only...

The iPhone's going to be sold by Orange (http://www.orange.co.uk) in the UK as well as 02 (http://www.02.co.uk). I confess I was surprised at the announcement since I'd assumed 02 taking on the Palm...

1. Too easy 2. Too replaceable without spending money on an Apple engineer 3. Too cynical, I must stop saying these things.

Apple (http://www.apple.com) appears to be having battery issues again - it is reportedly asking iPhone 3Gs users to get in touch if their batteries are running down.

This tells us a number of...

Apple has launched new additions to its iPod range and improved two of its working environments, iPhone 3.1 software is out, and joined by a new version of the iTunes store.

Only...there isn't...

Apple (http://www.apple.com) is looking more and more likely to be releasing a tablet computer either later this year or early next. I won't bore you with all the references online, there are too...

One last quick entry before the weekend starts (and before the month ends) - I saw a story on Twitter (http://twitter.com) today in which some hackers claimed they'd found a flaw in the iPhone that...

Twitter was all a-twitter overnight (UK time) about the iPhone version 3.0 software upgrade. It was falling over, people weren't able to download, it was agony and then it wasn't working apparently....

Thanks for the comment, Bruce. I confess I haven't seen anything in my comments or Davey's that suggests that the 3GS is anything other than subsidised, although the original iPhone wasn't, for the...

As I've said, I do think paying the whole of the contract off is crazy if you'll be paying for the call costs all over again under the new contract. As to nobody asking for a free upgrade, you can't...

I have to confess my initial reaction was the same as that of Daniweb colleague Bill Andad (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry4429.html); the lack of a coherent upgrade path for the new iPhone 3G S...

So I get up to work first day after a hard time relaxing over the public holiday weekend and guess what - the web's full of rumours that Apple (http://www.apple.com) is about to swoop and buy Twitter...

Sometimes someone you'd written off surprises you. Take Palm, for example. My first ever hand-held computer was a Palm - or PalmPilot as they were called then. So was my second, and my third. I...

This is absurd. Last week came the news that Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com) was going to launch a retail store - and now Nokia (http://www.nokia.com) is going to do the same in the online...

I've seen it all now - the most expensive phone in the world, probably, and of course it's an iPhone. Not just any iPhone from Apple, mind you, but a diamond-encrusted one. Here's a picture...

It looks like Apple, in spite of the absence of Steve Jobs from Macworld this year, is going to release something fairly special in its last appearance at the event.

The Macbook Whee...

Following my colleague's excellent blog yesterday about what Apple should produce in January (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3724.html) one rumour appears to be gaining increasing amount of ground...

So Dani (of Daniweb fame) was asking me to go through a few gadgets for the Christmas season. So of course I've left it until the last minute - with prices going the way they are at the moment (we're...

So, Apple isn't going to do the whole razmatazz thing again, the European Macworld is off and Steve Jobs isn't doing the annual presentation in January. Let's get the last item out of the way first:...

To start hinting that you're going to make the best ever media phone this close to Christmas could of course save many of us a lot of money. "Of course, darling, I was going to spend £500 on a media...

Much as I hate hype I do agree it's more than just a phone. I've had many phones with added cameras, music players etc. but not really stretched them as I could. I'd play the odd bit of music and...

There is of course nothing wrong with Apple getting a slapped wrist because of its current advertising campaign for the iPhone in the UK. Essentially the ad demonstrated how simple it is to download...

So Apple has taken the rare step of announcing it's not going to update its range by the end of this year. It's done this because the rumors have been floating around for so long - people were...

Yeah, look, a good definition of 'workaholic' is probably someone who sees something he likes on the Internet while he's supposed to be on holiday, logs onto his blog and tells everyone about it. I...

Apple is making an announcement tomorrow. It's known to be about notebooks and wiser heads than mine are speculating about what it's going to be - so in the meantime I'll present my own wish list for...

It seems Apple may be on the brink of yet another iPhone redesign. Not, this time, because of any fault or because of any user demand but because the European Union (that's my continent, folks) is...

You really get the impression this should be a bad idea. Microsoft has announced a delay to Windows Mobile 7.0 (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10048061-56.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.0). This,...

There comes a time when a fellow just has to admit he's made a mistake. I've said on this blog a couple of times that I believe some technology fans - particularly people wanting to see violent games...

So today, according to Tuesday's announcement, there will be new iPhone software available from Apple. We don't know exactly when, in the UK at 1.20 it wasn't there, but no matter - it's going to...

It's interesting, isn't it - we all try to be greener (in London today is 'can the car day') and to consume less. Then they release a shiny new iPod and we WANT MORE TOYS, regardless of whether...

This is incredible. In the UK, police are worried that criminals can use mobile devices to wipe a corporate network (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10032823-94.html?tag=nl.e703) if they know what...

So I'm scrolling through the features rather than the news and I come across this (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10031076-93.html?tag=mncol). Software developers, apparently, are under threat from...

Here we go again with the iPhone, Apple says it's issuing a fix without - as is Apple's habit - telling us what it's fixing (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7569393.stm).

Even as a satisfied...

I get the feeling a lot has been written on these blog pages about the iPhone 3G and MobileMe and a lot of people are probably not all that interested.

It's worth mentioning, though, that a leaked...

Since everyone else is speculating like mad about Apple's plans following their warning on profuts due to a product transition (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-9996169-37.html), I thought I might...

Hoping to be the first person to unlock an iPhone 3G? Too late, it looks like someone has already done it (http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2221719/iphone-3g-unlocked).

I know, I know. There will...

My colleague Ron Miller makes some excellent points about the iPhone shortage in the US in his blog entry (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2782.html). If this were any other company we would indeed...

If I wanted to sell a domestic computer I'd do what Apple did a while ago and make it look good. It's supposed to go in someone's home. That's the secret of the laptop-on-a-stick, sorry, the iMac. It...

Just off the phone for a piece I'm writing for one of the UK press - I'll link to it when it's up. It's about smartphones, and one of the points was that the iPhone (not strictly a smartphone as far...
