Apple held a press event at their headquarters in Cupertino earlier today to unveil the iPhone OS's third iteration. The updated iPhone OS actually brings a lot of the functionality that people have been asking for, including copy and paste, MMS, and landscape mode. The only major functionality missing is built-in Flash support, but otherwise the iPhone OS 3.0 is a huge improvement to the iPhone platform. Some of the new features include: Cut, copy, and paste Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) A2DP stereo Bluetooth Landscape vi…

Google Analytics is one of the better services available to track the traffic on your website. Any passionate webmaster, like myself, is constantly checking their statistics. I came across a fantastic application called Analytics App that brings Google Analytics to your iPhone, for those people who need to check their website stats even when they are on the go. The application also works on an iPod Touch. I have not tried out this application myself because I do not use Analytics, but I have read some good reviews about it. It certai…

The New York Times' blogger Saul Hansell has reported a clarification about Opera and the iPhone. He went and further questioned Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, Opera's chief executive, about Opera Mini and the iPhone for extra clarity: He said that the development of the iPhone browser was more an "internal project" of some engineers than a product that management was committed to introducing. Indeed, development was halted after the company looked at the details of the license agreement in Apple's software development kit and realized th…

Last week there were a number of reports on the Internet about Opera's mobile browser being rejected from Apple's iPhone App Store. To clarify, Apple apparently rejected Opera Mini, not Opera Mobile. I guess some people were confused and didn't realise that Opera has two mobile browsers. Apparently, Opera Mini was rejected because it was running a Java ME runtime on the iPhone, although this is only speculation. This of course violates the iPhone's SDK agreement. Still, if Opera were to redevelop Opera Mini using the C API, Apple would pro…

Apple's iPhone has become the "cool" platform in the development world, especially with the introduction of the App Store, where developers have been raking in the dough by selling their applications for only a few dollars. When the iPhone was initially released, Apple touted that the development platform was simply the "web", so developers had to use traditional web technologies - XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript - to develop iPhone applications, which ran through Safari. This worked, except for that the applications were slow (because EDGE is slo…

When you search for "opera mini iphone" on Google, you get tons of results arguing why Opera Mini is better than the iPhone's Safari web browser. Now, with the introduction of third-party applications for the iPhone, my question is: when will Opera Mini be on the iPhone? Opera's codebase is suppose to be easy to adapt to new platforms, according to Opera Software, as we see with Opera on the Wii for example. I seriously hope that Opera Software is planning on releasing a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone, but I would understand if the…

This morning, having arrived back home from Minnesota just last night, I downloaded the new iPhone 2.0 software update that was released yesterday. Overall, the new update is certainly worth the half-hour it took to download it, especially with the introduction of third-party applications. Personally, I was especially happy to see the introduction of foreign language support, other than the original English, French, German, and Italian (especially, considering that it was only sold in the UK and US, the original mix did not include Spanish). …

iPhone Service Updates Only via Phone?

Earlier this month I wanted to update my texting plan on my iPhone, because I had continually been going over my quota each month and it was cheaper just to upgrade my texting plan. I logged into the AT&T website, where with most mobile phones you can easily upgrade your plan and your features online. Oh no, not with the iPhone. I got a message telling me that in order to upgrade my iPhone I had to call their service centre. Granted, the process of upgrading my iPhone via the phone was very smooth and the service representative was very…

With the Apple iPhone hitting stores this Friday (29 June), Apple fans around the world are anxious to get their hands on this new, shiny device. There are already people waiting too! Never in my life have I seen so much hoopla over a mobile phone. I am a huge Apple-fanboy; however, I do not see an iPhone in my future with the current outrageous pricing. Overall, I am quite disappointed with the pricing involved with the phone. First, the actual iPhone costs $499 (4GB) or $599 (8GB). Then you are going to have a large monthly fee for se…
