iPhone 2.2 to features Google Street View
The T-Mobile G1’s Google Maps Street View implementation is one of the slickest features of the first Android phone, but it looks like Apple’s going to keep feature parity — the latest builds of iPhone OS 2.2 seeded to developers have Street View, as well as the ability to give mass transit directions. That’s pretty […]

iPhone firmware 2.0.2 released
Well okay, we don’t know if it’s angry or not, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the 2.0.2 update of Apple’s phone OS is out there for your downloading pleasure (via iTunes, specifically). So far, all we know is that this iteration tackles those pesky “bugs,” but what those exact bugs are, we […]
iPhone 3G SIM unlock demoed on video
We’ve already seen the iPhone 3G got unlocked to function on any carrier (and you can already buy unlocked versions in several countries), but we haven’t seen a locked handset get unlocked via software only, and the folks at gsmphone-unlocking have the first video we’ve seen of Steve’s newest baby doing the SIM swap dance […]

MobileMe goes live
Hello MobileMe, goodbye .Mac (and good riddance). Apple’s synchronization and web application solution for your Macs, PCs, iPod touch or iPhone is now live. Push eMail, push contacts, and push calendar and a new suite of web applications are now yours for the taking. You know, after you hand over $99 for the first year […]
Google Talk for iPhone Hands-On
Google’s brand new Gtalk webapp for the iPhone is as crappy as I expected it would be. It has a nice design, and sending messages was easy, but at the end of the day it’s still running in Safari—which means if you get a call you are signed out of chat. And unlike other web-based […]
Rogers announces iPhone 3G plans, unlimited data isn’t listed
Here we have it, iPhone 3G pricing for our better mannered, gun-toting friends up north. All the plans from Rogers Wireless require that lovely, three-year contract and include visual voicemail, free evenings and weekends, and unlimited WiFi at all Rogers and Fido hotspots. The plans start at $60/month for 150 minutes of voice and just […]
uSirius Streams Sirius Satellite Radio to Your iPhone
Similar to iRadio, uSirius lets people stream Sirius Satellite Radio to their iPhones over Wi-Fi or EDGE (and shortly, 3G). Reader Brandon says that anyone can try this out for free for three days before registering, and that it works great over both connection types. Our own Benny Goldman went nuts when he saw this, […]

Don’t take a vacation day just yet or anything, but early word has it that Apple’s iPhone 3G will actually go on sale at 8:00AM (local time, most likely) on July 11th. If you’ll recall (how could you forget, right?), the original iPhone didn’t go on sale until 6:00PM on launch day, but considering that […]
