Excitement is building for the iPhone 5 launch to the point where we’re now hearing rumors about the commercial for it. There’s nothing inherently exciting about that except for the fact that it means the launch is getting steadily closer. After all, iPhone commercials don’t usually have the same panache as the Mac vs PC [...]

After a brief listing for a smartphone that runs the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and contains the same iPhone 4 iconic design from Apple, Sears has pulled the product page that lists the device as $263.99.

When I first read the headline Smartphones Flunk for Blind Users in an email newsletter my father forwarded to me, I though I was about to read that touch-enabled smartphones are completely unusable for the visually impaired.

Apple’s latest ads demonstrate just how much you can get online while you’re still on a call. These ads are a little better than AT&T’s ads promoting the feature, but they sure don’t reflect my experience trying to get work done with my iPhone 3Gs.
