Apple will not be launching the iPhone in the world’s biggest cellphone market. China Mobile, the world’s biggest wireless network with over 349.66 million customers, and Apple have parted ways. Why? The smart money points to revenue sharing. Apple has been in conflict with AT&T and its European distributors over its unique revenue-sharing scheme [...]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5SrAAPLcCU[/youtube] We’ve been waiting for our friends from GenerationMP3 to post their review of Archos’s gen-5 flash player and now here it is. Unfortunately, they find the Archos 105 a little disappointing, especially with a retail price of 99 Euros or about $141. The 105 is a solidly built device with an intuitive Archos interface. Is [...]

Google, Inc. and Apple, Inc. both registered their highest stock prices on Monday. AAPL jumped to $149.85, surpassing the previous high of $148.92 last July while GOOG clocked at $571.46. Google’s favorable showing at the stock market might have something to do with their bid to purchase online advertiser DoubleClick. If the European Union approves, [...]

Basically, according to one J.P. Morgan analyst based in Taiwan, there will be a new iPhone this year, a smaller version, possibly called iPhone Nano. This is based on patent applications from Apple and a good detective work asking around overseas vendors. It will be cheaper, definitely lower than $500. Now, we’re basically convinced that [...]

Eight hours of talk time on iPhone is better than most high-end phones, but to truly savor a groundbreaking device you need to double that. With iZAP, a battery originally made for the iPod, you could triple it. The iZAP battery is made by ZAP, which made the OBVIO 828 (above), the cutest electric car [...]

AT&T’s reported conversion on the iPhone has pretty much debunked the 500k hyped-up sales on iPhone’s first weekend. AT&T’s 146k figure, however, leaves a lot of people scratching their heads. Surely a lot more iPhones were sold before the end of June or on its first 30 hours since it was launched at 6PM [...]

Apple shares went down this morning when AT&T reported only 146,000 iPhone activations within the first few days of its release. This is a particularly interesting bit of news considering all those rumors about AAPL selling more than half a million iPhones during that same time period. Upon hearing this report, concerned investors [...]

Apple has another surprise for us. Apple.com’s iPhone page shows a fully integrated mobile YouTube that can be streamed on an iPhone using WiFi. This is a mobile version of YouTube that can be launched from a special YouTube Player icon right from the iPhone’s home screen. It won’t be the same [...]

He, he. It appeared that everyone was over-eager last June 18 when iPhone’s improved battery life was announced. This includes many bloggers, including us, and Apple itself. As it turned out, Apple made a freshman mistake on that chart, which originally happened to claim that Nokia N95 had no WiFi. I guess it was a [...]

First the really good news. Apple has managed to up iPhone’s talk time to 8 not 5 and definitely not 40 minutes. For video playback, you’ll have 7 hours of movie-watching, 24 hours of music playing, 6 hours for browsing the Net via WiFi and 10 days of stand by. This news lifted Apple stocks [...]
