Sunday, July 20, 2008
Remember 10 years ago when voice-recognition and Dragon Naturally Typing was going to replace the keyboard?

Tuesday, June 10, 2008
We have covered it here before that Apple got the long… really-long end of the stick when they partnered up with AT&T for the iPhone 1. Not only were they getting full price for their devices on each sale, but also a portion of the service contract, while AT&T got the rest. It seems that with [...]

Monday, June 9, 2008
In an effort to “lock this bitch down” AT&T seems to be done placating Apple and letting folks buy the phone, take it home and JailBreak it.
