Despite all of the claims that were thrown back and forth between Apple and Research In Motion (RIM) concerning sales, Apple has come out on top. According to Strategy Analytics, 15.4 million iPhones were shipped by Apple, compared to only 12.3 million BlackBerrys by RIM. Of course Nokia, with its 26.5 million smartphones shipped in the same time period still reigns supreme globally, but even that number has started to slip.

I have been playing around with Apple’s new Game Center in iOS 4.1 and have already come to one conclusion—Xbox Live is better. Apple’s iTunes app distribution model is certainly more polished than what WP7 Marketplace is looking right now via Zune, but Microsoft has a very powerful gaming network with Xbox Live. Since Apple ...

Apple is not content just to let the success of its iOS mobile platform sit there; it’s bringing it back to the Mac. What does that exactly mean? Think FaceTime on your computer and Mac OS X Lion getting features from iOS. Oh, and the app store is coming to the computer. FaceTime While it not yet ...

Leave it to Apple CEO Steve Jobs to anger people and companies. The man is almost as good at the art of infuriating as he is at developing high tech products people are willing to wait in line hours for to get their hands on. His latest comments that have set the internet abuzz? He ...

Apple released its quarterly financial statements yesterday and as usual, the company surprised everyone. Apple (APPL) might not have sold as many iPads as investors had hoped, but its iPhone sales more than made up for it. In fact, investors were so blown away by Apple’s results, that the Nasdaq stock exchange halted trades of ...

Google’s Android OS might be exploding in market share and drastically increasing its ad-based revenue, but Apple iPhone has managed to keep its lead. According to mobile advertisement network Millennial Media, last month Android actually created more revenue than the iPhone did. The iPhone however, has kept its lead in overall advertisement served up to ...

The next model of Apple’s iPhone has just had its hardware finalized and now its software is getting finalized as well. Internally codenamed on iOS devices (including the new Apple TV) for cross-device communications purposes as the ‘iPhone 3,2’, this next model could start shipping from China as early as January. According to BGR, their ...

Smartphone operating system makers want you to buy their smartphones. Not only that, they want you to buy apps for their smartphones. While Apple and Research In Motion (RIM) make their own smartphones and write the operating systems for them, Google only makes its Android OS and then lets manufacturers like Motorola and HTC put ...

Apple only makes its wildly popular iPhone in two colors: black and white. While the black iPhone 4 model has been out for some time now, the white version has been delayed and delayed. Apple claims manufacturing problems and while a few theories have come out, this might be the most ridiculous yet most believable. ...

  Gotta love concept artwork and videos. The iPad 2 has gotten its own such special treatment from Joy Studios. I have to say, the concept video—which is actually a pseudo advertisement for the coming iPad 2—is very well done. If you didn’t know any better, you might think that it was a real Apple ad ...

You might have read or a friend might have told you that glass on Apple’s new iPhone 4 is 82 percent more likely than the older 3GS model’s to break. Given all of the iPhone 4 hate that ‘Antennagate’ generated during the new smartphone’s launch, those who are less than fond of the iPhone have ...

Apple CEO Steve Jobs really seems to hate adult content on his iOS platform. While Android might get all the content too steamy (or immoral depending on how you look at it) for Apple to allow it on their iTunes store, Jobs’ new iPhone 4 certainly has potential for some adult activities through its FaceTime ...

  PayPal has its own iOS app and it is quite good. A lot of people have PayPal accounts now for online purchases and money transfers and the company has helped spearhead the push into online money services. The newest version of PayPal's iOS app (version 2.7) adds the ability for users to take pictures of ...

The big carriers naturally have the newest and ostensibly best smartphones available. However, smaller, regional carriers that often have no-contract plans want in on the fun. After all, the future of phones is smartphones so they cannot afford to get left behind. Cue Cricket Wireless. The company relies on roaming deals to provide nationwide coverage, ...

  The highly anticipated 'GreenPois0n' jailbreak for the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch 4 will be released at “10:10:10 AM” on 10/10/10.
