What AT&T Doesn’t Want you to Know About the iPhone
In this video posted by shadoestevens, a famous filmmaker talks about the benefits of using the iPhone and AT&T and how they’ve helped him become a “major player.” He says that of course he uses AT&T, because he has an iPhone.

AT&T Ranks Dead Last for Customer Satisfaction
A recent study by Consumer Reports determined where cell phone companies rate when it comes to customer satisfaction.

Why Does Apple Restrict the iPhone’s Abilities?
I have a problem: I get NFR copies for many iPhone apps. This, itself, isn’t an issue – but the iPhone can only display up to 144 apps at one time. This limitation is artificial, as I have an insane amount of free space on the device. I currently have 250 apps in my iTunes [...]
