A lot of people post videos about funny things you can do with the iPhone. One of those things could be shooting your iPhone, scratching it with a nail or throwing it of a building to see how the iPhone reacts. Well if you think a real iPhone is too expansive to do such things with, then maybe the iPhone Dummy is something for you. Read more…
In just a few days the Motorola Droid will hit the market. Verizon has been marketing the phone for a few weeks now and launched several ads attacking the iPhone
. The Droid is supposed to be the iPhone killer. But we’ve heard that before. So Engadget made a video showing the browser speeds of both phones.
The iPhone 3GS is still faster, but the Droid can scroll through the page much faster. I don’t like the Droid at all. The iPhone is still the winner and a beautifully designed phone.

Apple has approved more than 100,000 applications in its App Store, according to latest figures from App Shopper, an industry tracking firm. That number of approved apps dwarfs the number of apps offered by mobile app store competitors Android Marketplace, Windows Mobile Marketplace, BlackBerry App World, and Nokia’s Ovi Store. Apple’s next closest competitor, Google’s Android Marketplace, offers a relative pittance of 10,000 mobile apps, according to App Shopper. BlackBerry App World hosts 3040 apps.
App Shopper released data Tuesday stating that Apple has approved 101,887 apps, with 93,118 actually available to download or purchase as of October 28. Apple is expected to announce the milestone officially when the actual number of applications available in the store reaches 100,000.

Any lingering hopes of new last-minute holiday hardware from Apple have been cast in doubt, as the Mac maker has reportedly confirmed that its holiday 2009 lineup is “set.”
In a recent conversation with Gizmodo, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, reportedly said that Apple will not introduce any more new products this year. The report was issued to quash recent rumors of even more hardware updates portrayed as potentially imminent.
After the story initially ran, Apple’s public relations contacted to clarify with an official statement: “The holiday lineup is set.” No further explanation was given. Read more…
Apple is reportedly in discussions with Australian media companies over including their content on the rumored tablet device.
The Sydney Morning Herald says the tablet is tipped to be a larger version of the iPhone. It is small enough to carry in a handbag but too big to fit in a pocket. It will have a touch screen and be targeted at users who mainly want to surf the web, read books and newspapers or watch movies.
Supposedly Apple sent tablet specifications to the media companies in an effort to figure out if they would be interested in delivering their content on such a platform. None would speak about the device on the record.
Apple reportedly did the same to US companies such as the New York Times last month.

Geohot has started looking for an iPhone unlock for the 05.11.07 baseband. He estimates it should take approximately one day to find.
Jody Sanders, a person notorious for selling the Dev-Team’s unlock, has offered Geohot $10,000 for releasing a new one. Sanders maintains that he is not selling the unlock but rather selling the support that comes with it.
If Geohot does find an unlock it will be released free to the entire community regardless of whether Sanders actually pays out. “it’s not really the 10k, i wanted to do it anyway”
The search has already begun and we will keep you up to date on Geohot’s progress.

Verizon and AT&T have both reported their latest quarterly earnings, and the strength of the iPhone has continued to help AT&T close the gap on the market leader.
In its earnings reported Monday morning, Verizon said it now has an estimated total of 89 million subscribers, after adding 1.2 million customers during the September quarter. Last week, AT&T announced it added 2 million wireless subscribers during the same period, bringing its total base of customers to 81.6 million.
AT&T’s 2 million customer increase was the highest third-quarter gain in company history. Officials said nearly 40 percent of the 3.2 million new iPhone activations were customers new to AT&T. That means of the 2 million new customers, roughly 1.28 million were iPhone users. Read more…
