Following on yesterday’s Net Applications MobileSafari metrics, which showed ever increasing iPhone browser share, TUAW now tells us Investor Village has found yet another obscure path to sales deviation. This method involves tracking the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) code on each individual iPhone sold, and using it: researchers have figured out that Apple has manufactured at least 5,649,000 iPhone 3Gs. Add that to the 2.4 million 1st generation iPhones sold in 2008, and you ...

The intertubes are positively being flooded with what has to be some of the biggest browser news since Apple debuted MobileSafari on the iPhone: Google is getting in the game. The advertising juggernaut has revealed that they’ll soon be releasing “Chrome” (Beta), built on the same Apple-contributed, open source WebKit framework that forms the foundation of Safari on OS X (and also powers Nokia and Adobe web rendering). Paul Thurrott secured the screenshots above (with ...

A lot of TiPb faithful have noticed that we look a bit different when you visit us from your iPhone. It’s true, we’ve iPhonified it up with the excellent IWPhone software bits. If you’re a believer in getting the “real internet”, just scroll on down to the bottom of the page and hit the link for “Normal View” and Mobile Safari will keep you on the full version until you clear your cookies. The iPhonified ...

Hopefully it’s a long holiday weekend for at least a few of us, so what better to do for your Labor Day than kick it in the iTunes App Store? There are more apps piling up with each passing week. It’s time for iPhone App Avalanche 7! New RunKeeper, from Raizlabs Corporation and FitnessKeeper, Inc., is a location-based app that utilizes the iPhone 3G’s GPS functionality to track the daily performance of runners, cyclists, hikers, ...

When Gizmodo honcho Brian Lam found out via Twitter that one of his readers was experiencing a brutal 8-hour iPhone sync, he did what any EiC worth his postings would do: secured time-lapse video! To put 8 painful hours fully into perspective: That’s a full night of sleep. That’s a full day of high school. That’s longer than it takes to fly cross country, or drive from SF to Los Angeles. After seeing this video, ...

Bluetooth headsets are becoming increasingly popular, on a common day you’d run into plenty of people using these hands-free devices. Some make you look like a bionic man, others simply look bland, but there are a rare few that makes your head turn. The Motorola H9 Bluetooth Headset ($89.95) falls in that head-turner, borderline sexy category. Sculpted to be no larger than a quarter, the Motorola H9 is sleek, lightweight, and unmistakably TINY. How can ...

My fellow Canadians, if you’re already enjoying the virtually “unlimited” goodness and peace of mind that comes with Rogers reluctant, 11th hour $30/6GB promotional plan, then there’s nothing to see here. Your rate is good for the length of your contract. If you haven’t jumped on the “deal” yet, however, remember that the plan is set to expire Aug. 31. Or it was… Rogers seems to have extended it — slightly — to Sept. 30. ...

You are traveling and have a long flight ahead of you. You aren’t feeling very social and the last thing you want is to get into a conversation with the person next to you who just happens to have a great multi-level marketing opportunity for you. It’s late at night and you can’t sleep. Your significant other has already called it a night and you’re bored out of your mind. In both scenarios above, you ...

Roughly Drafted is claiming a source close to AT&T has spilled the beans on what’s really going on with the iPhone and its 3G connection problems, and what 2.0.2 did to fix it. In a nutshell? An iPhone 3G running 2.0 or 2.0.1 tries to pull too much power from the network, so when multiple iPhones connect, a tower can actually run out of juice and start dropping calls and losing data. Why hasn’t upgrading ...

Casey already told us about how an iPhone ad was banned in the UK for “misleading consumers” about providing “just the internet”, and based on how many ZOMG! No Flash Vidz! comments we get, I’m going to go out on a limb and say most people probably share the belief that MobileSafari - ( Flash + Java) != the internet. Fine. But allow me to retort. As a long time web (and Flash) developer, however, ...

Gizmodo has uncovered what can only be described as a gigantic, huge, and completely embarrassing security flaw on the iPhone. If you have your iPhone ‘locked,’ it can be circumvented very easily with very little trickery aside. On the ‘lock’ screen, you can still make an emergency call. When you tap that, you can then double-tap the home button to bring up your favorites (assuming you have that set). The issue is that your favorites ...

If you’ve never played around with BeeJive’s JiveTalk, boy, you don’t know what you’re missing! Even though third party apps such as AIM and Palringo are available, I still prefer the look and feel of the JiveTalk WEB APP. I’m sure Crackberry Addicts can attest to JiveTalk’s IM supremacy. And you know what? BeejiveIM (formerly JiveTalk) is coming to the iPhone and from the looks of it, seems to better than ever. It’s planned for ...

Think your iPhone 3G needs some sprucing up? Hate that the chrome bezel of the iPhone 3G scratches too easily? Well, for those who are wealthy beyond even the most wildest dreams, you can now get the diamond edition of the iPhone 3G. With only 50 being made worldwide, it’ll cost $10,000 for the first 10 customers with the other 40 being priced at a later point. Here’s the lowdown on the diamonds: 475 Diamonds ...

Last week Apple and Infineon were getting all the heat for shoddy 3G performance. Now AT&T is getting its share of the blame with a dizzying array of combinations. First it was Wired’s fairly damning survey and the Swedish antenna tests that pointed further fingers at the network, and now Gizmodo head-honcho Brian Lam has had the chance to chat with AT&T CTO John Donovan: I asked Donovan if caution was the overriding strategy behind ...

Cool. Who else loves this cat and mouse game that Apple and the iPhone dev team have with one another? First one goes and the other quickly follows, you gotta admit, at the very least it makes for good theater. At best? Well, a jailbroken iPhone of course! This time around 2.0.2 has been pwned and is available to us via Pwnage Tool 2.0.3. It’s Mac-Only so Windows users will have to use QuickPwn. PwnageTool ...

What is it? The latest build of Apple’s next generation desktop browser, based on their Open Source WebKit framework. Why do we care? Because the very same framework powers the desktop version’s baby brother, MobileSafari on the iPhone, and while the 2.0 firmware brought some improvements to the latter, we ain’t seen nothing like 4.0 yet. Quoth Apple Insider: Safari 4.0’s implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) includes support for masks, gradients, reflections, and specifying ...

Following up his big blog rumor-fest with an appearance on This Week in Tech (TWiT), Kevin Rose filled in a few details, including that the supposed new Nano, face-lifted iPod Touch, and 2.1 firmware (presumably) would drop on September 9 at a Special Apple Event (or perhaps that the invitation for the special event would be issued on the 9th, it wasn’t crystal clear). In addition, when bullied by Laporte and Dvorak, Rose — who ...

Mild Mannered Industries, which claims some experience with Sync Services, has an interesting and insightful blog post about how MobileMe syncing probably works, why syncing in general is so hard, and if we can ever look forward to a day where MobileMe actually, really, truly “just works”: Is this really Apple’s fault? In the case of Mobile Me, and .Mac before it, all of the code is essentially Apple’s, but I think this just goes ...

The developer lets us know [via Giz] that famously lawsuit-happy Tetris©-IP-owners “The Tetris© Company” has contacted him and told him he has to take down Tris. Noah writes: That, I’m afraid, is essentially game over. Do they have a case? No. Not really. I am convinced that if it went to court, the “copyright” claim would get thrown out completely. The trademark, perhaps not — but if I changed the name, to e.g. “Trys”, that ...
