Forgive this beginner’s tip if you’re a hardened iPhone user and thought about this many months ago… BUT….

I’ve got an admission to make. Actually, you’ll have realised already if you’ve been paying attention to some of my screenshots. I don’t own an iPhone. [FX: readers faint with shock]
Actually, I own an iPod Touch. No, it wasn’t that I didn’t want an iPhone, it’s just that, being a phone journalist, I already have [...]

[Wharamurrrrrr......] The flux capacitor hisses, the time disk whirrs and I’m standing in the auditorium at the Moscone Centre on January 5th 2009. Now THAT’s fortuitous. Ooh, Steve Jobs is on stage. Let’s listen in.

Matt has written (or is going to write - ha! my crystal ball!) elsewhere on All About iPhone about the average number of application that users download from the iPhone AppStore. 15, apparently. Maybe I’m unusual then. Because I’ve grabbed over 60. (Out of interest about a dozen of these were commercial and the rest [...]

I woke up this morning to a dead device. Hmm…. I pressed the ‘Sleep’ button, to see the Apple logo and a boot up sequence, followed by a quick battery warning pop-up message. And then, a few minutes later it was off again. The strange thing is that I had charged it fully yesterday evening. [...]
