Mobile web sites and location information
With this post I want to urge all companies to make a mobile-friendly version of their web site, that is quick and easy to go to with an iPhone or other similar device and add basic contact and location information to that site. Yesterday I was trying to make my way to the Canon EOS [...]
What would you like to see in iPhone OS4?
There have been rumours running about on the near future release of the next-gen iPhone OS. While no details have been given – aside from some interesting specs on the iPhone 4G – we can pretty much speculate what new stuff the OS upgrade would provide.
I have compiled a little list of things, in no [...]
iPhone multitasking that works
I’ve heard a countless times before from BlackBerry converts that one of the most irritating issues they face on the iPhone is the lack of multitasking support.
Personally, it pisses me off sometimes, barely restraining myself from throwing the iPhone across the room and watch the precious touch screen shatter into sexy little pieces. When I [...]
Zombieville: zombie slaughter game for iPhone
I’ve downloaded a lot of games for my iPhone but I’ve played none of them more than Zombieville USA. Especially on my recent CES trip I spent many hours in airports and on planes killing zombies with guns, chainsaws, lasers and ninja swords. If it sounds bloody and violent it is but it is deceptively [...]
Stay True to Thy Self
And unlike the message it tried to promote through all of its movies throughout the years, Disney did not stay true to itself.
Touchscreen vs. Qwerty
A few months back, I got myself a cellphone with a QWERTY keyboard. I must admit, I needed it. I SMS a lot and having a cellphone keyboard resembling that of the computer’s would make my task faster and easier. And how true it is! I had been using the computer keyboard for years so [...]
Etisalat explains delay in iPhone 3GS plans
After Etisalat announced their iPhone 3GS plans I put a few questions to them about the delay and the details of the plans. Here are the answers.
- Considering Etisalat started selling iPhone 3GS on October 27, why has it taken so long to introduce the plans?
“Finalising pricing plans involves market research, designing [...]

iPhone 3GS service with Du (Part II)
When I finished writing my original article about how horrible Du service was a little under a month ago, little did I know that I was going to be writing a second part for it. However, here I am. Don’t get me wrong, I am actually happy writing this as I have possibly proven to [...]
How to listen to our Tech Chat podcast
Since we started the Tech Chat podcast I’ve received questions about how to listen to it and how to subscribe to it so I wanted to try to straighten out a few question marks if I may.
What is a podcast?
Although podcasts can be video or audio ours is only audio, at least for now. Think [...]
Which iPhone operator to choose in UAE?
“Out of stock” is what you hear. Du says a month or two, Etisalat says “Soon”. Anyways whatever. so which one to choose? Well of course my obvious answer is Du. Reason: amazing data package for one whole year (though there are simple conditions to follow) and if you are not up [...]
UAE not included in Kindle iPhone app’s 60 countries list
I jumped at the latest iPhone news: “Kindle iPhone App Goes International” or “Amazon Kindle App Comes to iPhone in over 60 countries”.
I love reading books and though I still prefer the old fashioned paper pages over digital e-books, having a reading gadget I can take anywhere is convenient. It prevents me from dying of [...]
Etisalat iPhone 3GS plans now available
Etisalat has finally, without any fanfare, published details about iPhone 3GS plans.
It seems that Etisalat continues on the same line they had with 3G plans, with different up front charges, different monthly rental, minutes, SMS, data, etc.
With a 16GB 3GS on postpaid plans the price upfront ranges from 0 to AED 2,399, “rental” per month [...]

Time Magazine just released their Top 10 of Everything of 2009 and in the gadgets category, Motorola’s Droid beat Apple’s iPhone 3GS. This could represent a major resurgence for Motorola, which has suffered considerably in recent years. The Droid was on top of the list while the iPhone 3GS, the other only phone in the gadget [...]
A day without my iPhone
Recently I have run into an issue; this “issue” has left my car incapacitated for some time. Though this wasn’t that big a problem, it did pose one problem for me. All the cars I have at my disposal are not setup to take my iPhone. Previously, I spent a day without my iPhone due [...]
