Top Apple News
Some Apple iPhone 3GS owners are finding battery life on the new smartphone lacking. Some analysts suspect the iPhone OS 3.0 is to blame. With an SDK for 3.1 already rolled out to developers, a software upgrade is likely before the fall.

News
News Analysis: The iPhone 3G has been jailbroken, but there are numerous ways to unlock it. Some techniques are more difficult than others, but are they worth considering in the business world?
News
Apple iPods could feature cameras in future versions, according to rumors that suggest Apple has begun ordering iPod cases structured to hold a camera lens. Apple's mobile devices have powered its bottom line and prestige, with its iPhone 3GS smartphone selling over 1 million units in its first three days of release, and over a billion downloads from its App Store.
News
Apple might be targeting the enterprise, but the real question now is whether or not it should. Is Apple a hardware company or a software company? This question is coming to the fore—again—because with the advent of Windows 7, enterprises will be deciding whether the time has come to finally upgrade the hardware to the new version. But given Apple's long-established market strategy, it just might not be important for Apple to win new enterprise converts to its operating system platform.
News
UPDATED: The hacker who made the news in 2007 for unlocking Apple's first iPhone has released a new application for jailbreaking the iPhone 3GS. The tool is currently available for Windows only.
News
China’s Ministry of Industry and IT reportedly said it “will definitely carry on the directive on Green Dam.” And while Apple has so far been on the sidelines of the Windows-based filtering software mandate, Green Dam maker Jinhui is said to be testing a Mac-compatible version.
News
Sales of Apple's iPhone 3GS aren't the only thing hot about the device: Reports of overheating issues on the new version of the smartphone caused Apple to release an advisory on how to keep your iPhone cool.
News
Apple's popular smartphone, the iPhone 3GS, is prone to mishandling and subsequent cracks in the screen. Apple is making it easier to fix the screen now by adding an in-store repair service.
News
The Apple iPhone 3GS asserted itself to the top of Consumer Reports' newest smartphone rankings, though the Palm Pre was close behind. The new capabilities and form factors of smartphones this year forced the advice-giver to reconsider its testing model.
News
NEWS ANALYSIS: RIM's BlackBerry devices, including the new BlackBerry Tour, are available on a variety of carriers' services, including AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint. That matters to enterprise customers who rely more and more on their smartphones and other handheld devices. But does Apple realize that?
News
Apple will announce the financial results of the third quarter of its 2009 fiscal year in a conference call on July 21. The announcement follows a busy quarter in which iPhone 3GS sales passed 1 million units in three days — led by AT&T but sold in equal parts by the Apple Store, Best Buy and Wal-Mart. The results also come after CEO Steve Jobs returned to work at the company.
New Slideshow
Since Apple launched the App Store in July 2008, users have downloaded more than 1 billion iPhone apps with a variety of uses (or non-uses, if you consider all the games and procrastination tools currently on the market for the device). Companies such as Google, Salesforce.com and Oracle have even introduced enterprise apps for the consumer-centric devices, aiming to solidify their hold on the ever-expanding mobile market.

One of the most vital areas of peoples' lives, of course, is health care, and to that end, several iPhone apps have rolled out that allow both patients and physicians to monitor care, keep track of treatments or even see the amount of sleep they're getting. The following apps—all available from the iTunes App Store—aspire to put health care IT in the palm of one's hand.
News
Some iPhone 3GS smartphones are overheating to the point of discoloration, which may be attributed to the new longer-lasting battery. Apple has yet to respond to the reports, but a late-June post on its support site unhelpfully warns against extensive periods of listening to music in direct sunlight.
News
Apple pushed out its iPhone OS 3.1 software and the accompanying SDK for developers early July 1, according to reports. Among the updates is the appearance of an MMS button in the Messages app. Is AT&T gearing up to flip the switch?
News
NEWS ANALYSIS: Apple and its App Store for the iPhone is the leader in the mobile space with more apps that are just plain better. Is it possible for its competitors, such as Palm, RIM, Microsoft and Nokia, to catch up?

REVIEWS
REVIEW: On Day 2 of testing the iPhone 3.0 software updgrade, eWEEK Labs is finding itself falling in love all over again with the iPhone. This has everything to do with the updated software's search, new landscape mode capabilities and call history improvements.
REVIEW: The free upgrade to iPhone OS adds cut-and-paste capabilities, landscape mode for e-mail, and the ability to find and remotely wipe devices. However, in preliminary tests, restoring a wiped device was easier said than done.
REVIEW: No-cost RoamBi transfers data imported into a hosted service to the iPhone, displayed in concise, easy-to-navigate charts.
REVIEW: Apple's Safari has always been "the browser that comes on Macs," but Version 4 is much more than that. eWEEK Labs finds the new browser one of the most attractive and interactive browsers available today.
eWEEK Labs' Cameron Sturdevant has been making the conversion from the PC to the Mac, but there's one thing that keeps him coming back for Windows: Entourage is a second-class e-mail client.
