While we don’t have any specific data on the success of iPhone penetration in the enterprise sector (we suspect it’s deeper than most analysts estimate), there are clearly some bottlenecks to broader adoption. Easy pickings include a lack of full support for Exchange (though third-party solutions have materialized) and malfunctioning push mail.

We recently spoke with […]

HandBrake, a free Mac OS X/Windows utility for ripping videos from DVDs and saving them in various formats — including MP4 files that are playable by the iPhone/iPod Touch — has been updated to include the ability to generate iPhone-compatible anamorphic video at its full size. As such, we’ve put together a quick guide for […]

We recently reported that attaching a small piece of scotch tape to the outer side of the iPhone’s SIM card (the side that does not have metal contacts) or the inside of the SIM slot (again, on the contact-less side) can provide a surprisingly dramatic boost in signal strength. Despite the naysayers, several readers have […]

Innovation in the iPhone development community is progressing at an aggressive pace despite the continued lack of an official software development kit (SDK) from Apple (which, by all accounts, is still due this month). The latest breakthrough comes from Kevin Brosius, who has figured out how to use Apple’s slick CoverFlow technology (used to browse […]

One of the more useful Mac OS X utilities for interacting with the iPhone, iPhoneDrive, has been renamed “MegaPhone” and now includes the ability to send text files, PDFs, or Word files to the iPhone Notes application for reading and editing directly on the device.

iPhoneDrive was initially created for storing files on the iPhone as […]

We’ve confirmed with AT&T that […]

Apple has updated its Knowledge Base article titled “How to verify iPhone hardware is working correctly” with information about liquid damage.

The iPhone has an indicator at the base of its headphone jack that is normally white. If the iPhone has been submerged in liquid or had liquid damage. Apple says that if half of the […]

Methods for tethering the iPhone (using its EDGE connection from a desktop system or other device) have thus far been complicated and fraught with issues. Thanks to the hard work of Jonathan “NerveGas” Zdziarski, however, the process has become easier and more robust.

Zdziarski has ported BIND 9.4.2 to the iPhone, allowing the device to service […]

An iPhone developer who claimed he was working with Apple’s yet-to-be-announced iPhone SDK (software development kit) and had access to the 1.1.4 software/firmware now says he was lying. In a post to a MacRumors thread, “Kelly” of Tiny-Code wrote:

“Tiny-Code never had any relations with Apple, Inc. or any other division of Apple. Never had the […]

Fueling speculation that Apple is working with Tiny-Code (a developer of unofficial iPhone applications), the small firm’s site now redirects to Apple’s iPhone Dev Center site.

On Friday, Tiny-Code posted a message to its site stating that the developer was “working with Apple and with their SDK (software development kit) for the next firmware release and […]
