Firefox For iPhone.. Kinda

Firefox For iPhone.. Kinda

If you’re an avid Firefox user, it probably pains you at least a little to be forced to use Safari on your iPhone. Well, now you can enjoy Firefox while you’re out and about too. Sort of. Firefox Home was approved for the App Store and is available now. As reported back in May, this isn’t actually Firefox for iPhone, merely a launcher app that syncs your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and open tabs. Mozilla maintains that “due to constraints with the OS environment and distribution, we cannot provide users Firefox for the iPhone”. At least this provides some basic functionality for those who prefer…

The Last Tech Gadget You

The Last Tech Gadget You'll Ever Need?

Forget about HDTVs, PSPs, Macbooks, iPods, radios, cameras, camcorders, books, maps, and GPSs. We don’t need ‘em! We have everything our technology-loving hearts could ever desire in the palm of our hand — many call them smart phones, but they are far more than that. They are the makings of a technological revolution. However, it wasn’t always this way. For far too long we were constrained with devices that did one single thing: telephones ensured you would always stay connected with annoying family members, MP3 players enabled you to jam to Justin Timberlake, GPSs managed to get you…

iPhone 4 Signal Fiasco: Apple Gives You a Hand

iPhone 4 Signal Fiasco: Apple Gives You a Hand

The Great Signal Caper continues. Is it alright to call it a caper now? More things should be called capers. Anyway, Apple has responded to customers’ never-ending pleas for an end to the iPhone 4′s signal issue by offering an accessory previously unbethunkable: the iHand. Taking a more utilitarian approach to product design, the iHand is all about function. Simply slot your iPhone 4 into the iHand’s hand, hold the iHand’s hand in your hand, dial a number, and enjoy worry-free calls of the clearest crystal clarity! Truly, Cupertino’s been boiling midnight oil BP-style on this. The iHand is available…

The NEW Adventures of YouTube Mobile

The NEW Adventures of YouTube Mobile

I don’t get what’s so great about the mobile web. It’s like a harder-to-see, harder-to-use version of the real internet. I dunno, call me old. You’d be wrong, but I guess I’d deserve it. I just really like real computers, as opposed to little phones that do phone-sized things. Be that as it may, I do like YouTube, and with the rollout of its new phone-sized thing, I’m coloured impressed. Boasting the entire functionality of YouTube Regular, the revamped mobile version sucks a verified 400% less than that previous garbage you thought was passable for a mobile YouTube experience. Man, remember that?…

iPhone 4 Update Sorta Kinda Addresses Signal Issue, a Little, But Not Quite

iPhone 4 Update Sorta Kinda Addresses Signal Issue, a Little, But Not Quite

Having acknowledged the now-infamous iPhone 4 ‘death grip’, Apple has rushed an update out the door that… well, it doesn’t really solve the problem at all. What the update does do is fix an apparent second problem that was displaying signal bars incorrectly. Apparently, your iPhone 4 has been lying to you, optimistically displaying four or five bars sometimes when it should be displaying one or two. Apple tells us it had something to do with the algorithm governing the definition of each level of strength. Great. So, in a nutshell, this means that my hypothetical iPhone 4 can now more accurately…

The most expensive iPhone 4 in the world

The most expensive iPhone 4 in the world

Sure, there might be some kind of problem with the signal bar — perhaps it is software, as Apple claim, perhaps not — one day we’ll know. Meanwhile the adoring iPhone loving or loathing public might as well get their gossip going on this O.T.T. rich person’s creation, the $20,000 diamond-encrusted iPhone 4 from designer, Stuart Hughes. Hughes likes to bling out his Apple devices — you’ll usually find at least one diamond and gold and dragon’s claw-encrusted Apple product emerge shortly after each Apple product introduction. (OK, I made up that bit about dragon’s claws). Take a look…

VIDEO: Your iPad Really Is A Digital Art Canvas

VIDEO: Your iPad Really Is A Digital Art Canvas

Just in case you missed it, here’s a couple of video clips which pretty much underline the kind of amazing things talented people can do with their iPad and the app of their choice. The first video is just one to watch, partially because its backing track isn’t deeply unbearable, and partly because, well, it is pretty cool to watch artist, Kyle Lambert and his video presentation of just how he painted his picture of Beyonce using an iPad and the super-amazing Brushes for iPad app. The video makes it look easy — in fact it took the talented finger-painting Brit a good six hours to make the picture….

It's Official: 'The Internet Is Over', Says Prince

He may have written some classic hits, but Prince has no ‘Kiss’ to give in his latest ‘Purple Rain’ of vitriol against ‘teh internets’, which the diminutive pop star says ‘is finished’. Is this a ‘Sign of the Times’, or simply an attempt by the artist to propel sales of his latest album, 20TEN, which isn’t going to be made available in shops, instead it is to be given away in the UK with copies of the Daily Mirror. Speaking to the Mirror, Prince slammed, like, this whole Internet thing, saying it is over, finished, dead, last year’s number. At the risk of being a rock ‘n’ roll…

Are You Really Gonna Wait All Month for a White iPhone 4?

Are You Really Gonna Wait All Month for a White iPhone 4?

You’ve gotta hand it to those who are holding out for white iPhones. There’s something to be said about the degree of willpower required to remain completely uncool until the end of the month, when Apple will finally release the fairer-coloured device into the wild, where it will no doubt be torn to pieces by frothing Applites – some of whom will probably already own the damn thing in black. Don’t give me that look. They know who they are. You don’t have that sort of willpower, of course. You’re weak – but you have really steady hands. Perhaps your grandfather was a watchmaker. Yes, your grandfather…

iPhone 4 Gets Shot, Microwaved - Y

iPhone 4 Gets Shot, Microwaved - Y'know, Phone Stuff

Cripes, people, it hasn’t even been a week yet. Apple’s working on a fix, alright? I promise. There’s no need to show this level of hostility right outta the gate. Jeez. Some people. I TELL YA. Anyway, the headline pretty much says everything that needs to be said – you came for some iPhone phuck-uppery, right? iPhone 4 versus sniper rifle. There you go. Just hit play. Bada-bing, bada-google. I’d complain that they should have hired a better sniper for a more interesting shot, but things look so pretty at 500fps that I’m willing to let it slide. But wait! I also brought an iPhone 4 being microwaved. You…

iPhone 4 Signal Saga Continues - Did Apple Know?

iPhone 4 Signal Saga Continues - Did Apple Know?

News of the day seems to be a series of job postings at Apple – no less than eight – for antenna engineers. Posted on June 23rd, the day before the launch of iPhone IV (or, 4, if you’re not into epic things), the postings raise some suspicion about the alleged signal failure problem, and whether or not Apple might have suspected something was up with the device before it hit the market – or at least after the flood of signal complaints on the afternoon of the 23rd. Whatever the case, Apple isn’t prepared to dick around. Applicants “will be expected to performance radiation performance measurements, create…

iOS4 Multitasking - What You Need To Know

iOS4 Multitasking - What You Need To Know

Is this you? You updated your iPhone to iOS 4 and now you’re looking to multitask — and it isn’t working? What’s going on? Here’s what you need to know. With iOS 4, multitasking is already here, but in order to use it developers must update their apps to support this new feature. (We have a short list of multitasking-enabled apps at the end of this report). First of all, a quick explanation of what multitasking is on an iPhone. The news here is that it isn’t really multitasking per se, more enabling access to specific tasks from within enabled apps. Because these tasks are tasks you want to…
