We’re pulling down the 250MB file now, we’ll let you know how things turn out — won’t you do […]

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 […]

Said application is currently in beta form, though a release isn’t quite ready for the public at large. Put simply, it enables iPhones to switch from GSM to WiFi (when WiFi […]
