TomTom developing iPhone GPS module? {Engadget}

Dec 12th 2007 10:51AM Too bad the iPhone speaker isn't loud enough to hear the directions.

Apple cuts 8GB iPhone price to $399 {Engadget}

Sep 5th 2007 2:18PM Wow, they are going to crush the competition. I paid $599 on launch day, and don't care that it's cheaper now. I've loved every minute of ownership. The market share is going to explode. Time to buy more AAPL!

LG's VX10000 and VX8800 touchscreen spyshots? {Engadget}

UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software {Engadget}

Aug 25th 2007 4:18PM True. Engadget was pretty adamant in saying it worked. Not they don't know if it works?

This is a publicity stunt, I'm afraid.

UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software {Engadget}

Aug 25th 2007 4:06PM Jesus, do AAPL lawyers threaten assassination or something? UniquePhones was talking a lot of smack, only to cower into their dimly lit basement after a telephone call? Did they think AAPL and ATT wouldn't mind if they sold the unlocking software they hyped the world up about?

Something smells fishy.

iPhone 1.0.2 update released {Engadget}

Aug 21st 2007 11:03PM I had to restore, and lost countless notes, all my visual voicemails, settings, etc. No my phone wasn't hacked.

Buyer beware. Apple either needs to fix the broken update process or give us a reliable way to back things up (i.e. integrate notes with the computer).

This is great. I had so many work notes, names, to-do lists.

Not sure what I'm going to do now. They are gone forever. For once I wish I still had my blackerry. At least it was solidly reliable with data/syncing/backing up/etc.

Edit: I was reading more on this, and as many have mentioned, it seems Apple decided to trash people's phones who added ringers, etc with ifuntastic, etc. I wasn't one of them, but here's my concern. SO WHAT if people wanted to put a silly ringtone on their phone. Apple decides to get revenge by WIPING their notes, voicemails, etc. Not cool, and certainly not cool if you use the phone for business. No, you shouldn't hack a business phone, but Apple shouldn't retaliate to this extreme. Imagine if in the future you load an "unsigned" app or something, innocently update to 1.1.4 or something, and BAM, everything's gone. It would have been one thing if Apple stated clearly "if you hacked your iPhone, all software updates will erase notes, voicemail, etc, etc."

...or they could have simply allowed us to make a working backup. I'm not referring to the iTunes copy that suddenly disappears during the update either.

Now, wonder why this happened to my phone? Makes me nervous, that's for sure.
