This morning I was at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai helping out at the Walkathon arranged by Emirates Arthritis Foundation. There’ll be lots of photos and video up soon on MyFibroblog.com as well as the foundation’s site [...]
Steve Jobs say iPad won’t tether with iPhone
In a not very surprising move, Steve Jobs has apparently said that iPhone cannot be used as an Internet modem for iPad. In other words you won’t be able to get on the Internet by connecting an iPad to your iPhone in the same way you may be getting online now with your Mac and [...]
Easy way to share contact information with Bump app for iPhone
A couple of my friends and work colleagues have iPhones, and had independently asked me if I’d setup Bump for sharing my contact information. It took me a second to figure out what they were talking about – a iPhone/Android app from Bump Technologies. Bump does have the best URL of all time [...]
Etisalat enables iPhone tethering
Thanks to EmiratesMac.com user “jiley” we now know that Etisalat has enabled tethering for their iPhone 3GS.
Owners of Etisalat iPhones should connect them to iTunes to receive a carrier update that apparently makes tethering available.
This is great news for Etisalat’s iPhone users. Etisalat’s competitor, du, had tethering enabled on their iPhones from when they started [...]
No reason why Apple would refuse Opera mini on iPhone, says Opera co-founder
First thing this morning at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona I sat down for an interview with Opera co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner. He described Opera as a company dedicated to bringing the fastest web browser to users regardless what platform or device they’re on. Opera’s web browsers are already available on Windows, Mac OS [...]
Will QTel introduce iPhone at Mobile World Congress?
QTel, the Qatar-based telecom group, has not yet started offering Apple’s iPhone to their customers. Even though I’m sitting in QTel’s pavilion at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, this is pure speculation on my part but there is a slight possibility that iPhone fans in Qatar will get another provider after Vodafone started selling [...]
7 iPhone apps for Valentine’s day
Whether you have an iPhone or iPod touch, why not use your favorite Apple device to spice up Valentine’s day a bit? There are plenty of apps available that’ll help you in many different ways and remember that something simple as iCal for reminders may save the day. We’ve looked at a number of apps [...]
Get ready for shorter replacement cycles
The common wisdom is that a Mac lasts a long time, at least longer than a comparable Windows PC. Whether that’s necessarily true or not is a matter for another article but I would hazard a guess that most Mac users replace their computer in something like 18-24 months. Of course some would do it [...]
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 [...]
Apple has issued iPhone OS 3.1.3 firmware update
Apple has issued iPhone OS 3.1.3, an update to the firmware that supposedly gives better “battery level monitoring” and a number of smaller fixes too. No one has, as far as I know, reported any new functionality being introduced with the update. Apple also has a knowledge base article about the update.
The update is also available [...]
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 [...]
Finally Shufflegazine iPhone app available
Finally, after a long and frustrating process, Shufflegazine’s iPhone app is live in the App Store [UAE App Store Link]. The app is developed by the guys at Pixel Mags. With the app, readers can buy individual issues of the magazine and read them on their iPhones or iPod touches. They can also subscribe to [...]
Thinking aloud – what the iSlate really could be
With all the recent speculation about what the iSlate / iTablet is, I’m going to take an unusual direction and venture to throw in my 2 cents on what the iSlate really should be.
You see, what Apple doesn’t really need right now is another iPod. Or a bigger iPhone. The gap in its device portfolio [...]
A new year, a new phone
2010 marks a special year for me. On 1 Jan 2010 (01012010), I fired up my du iPhone 3GS. It wasn’t the first time I was using it, but rather, the first time I was using it as my PRIMARY device.
That’s right. For all of 2009, my main du number was sitting snugly in various [...]
