Is iFun cool? Yes, very much so. Is risking the livelihood of your iPhone or iPod Touch in the name of gaming a good idea? Well, the jury is still out on that one. As seen in the relatively cheesy video above, iFun is a gaming suite by SGN that allows users to connect to [...]

It took a while, as it typically does, but once again an App Store app has brought official iPhone / iPod Touch support for something a jailbroken app has provided for over a year.

Yeah, yeah, we’re a little late on this one, but what can we say? We’re in love. For anyone that gets a kick out of remote viewing, this little thing is bound to mess up your head. You probably know all about it by now, but it’s a fully mobile 3-wheeled robot that houses a [...]

If you’re worried about little Timmy moving away and going to a big scary college with drinking, parties, and all kinds of tomfoolery, maybe he’ll just be too distracted with his new iPhone 3G to notice?.

Seriously, Apple, we’re just as excited as you are about the upcoming laptop refresh but you’re a pretty big company, no?

Here’s a bit of a shocker. It seems that industry stalwarts iFixit, the folks known for disassembling just about every device known to man, discovered a bit of a surprise when they tore apart the new iPod Touch 2G.

Alright, we know what you’re thinking; Rose wasn’t all that on point last time he dished about Apple. That’s true, but he has a decent track record and some of what he talks about in this latest round of link fishing coincides with rumors that have been floating around for a while. Let’s have a [...]

Are you an iPhone developer who wants to make some serious cash? Write an app that identifies people who have purchased “I Am Rich” and then integrate with Google Maps to display their exact locations*.

According to a recent find, the latest beta firmware release for the iPhone may reveal a new iPod Touch in the works, presumably nearing completion.
