Android has just joined in Apple’s App Store in the “>1 Billion Downloads”-club, if there was such a club. Apple’s App Store reached 3 billion downloads in in January 2010 so by now they are even more ahead, but Google and Android also seems to have a good thing going now that they’ve reached a … Read more →
Apple just wrapped up a press conference in Cupertino a few minutes ago, where they went through a bunch of data on the antenna issue which has become known as “the antennagate”.

Apple is really screwing things up when it comes to the iPhone 4 and its antenna issues. First, Steve Jobs sends an e-mail to an iPhone 4 user telling him to just don’t hold it that way (the way that causes the reception to drop). Really bad customer service, Steve! Well, shortly after he writes … Read more →
Oh man, it’s times like these that I miss my TomTom GPS which I let go after I bought Navigon for iPhone (which is great, by the way!). Back when I did have my TomTom, I had it with the Homer Simpson voice. Weird, I know, but it was fun! Now it gets even better, … Read more →

Nevertheless, it’s nice to actually see the difference in a side-by-side video like the one below by Obama Pacman. You could even use this as an excuse to go out and upgrade your 3GS to iPhone … Read more →

… but price drop is unlikely, says Shuhei Yoshida. It took Sony’s PlayStation 3 “just” about four years to make a profit, after being launched in United States and Japan.
