Apple today introduced MobileMe, a new Internet service that delivers push email, push contacts and push calendars for iPhone, iPod touch, Macs and PCs. MobileMe also provides a suite of elegant, ad-free web applications that deliver a desktop-like experience through any modern browser. MobileMe applications (www.me.com) include Mail, Contacts and Calendar, as well as Gallery for viewing and sharing photos and iDisk for storing and exchanging documents online.

“Think of MobileMe as ‘Exchange for the rest of us’,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Now users who are not part of an enterprise that runs Exchange can get the same push email, push calendars and push contacts that the big guys get.”

MobileMe, available on July 11, is a subscription-based service with 20GB of storage for $99 (US) per year for individuals and $149 (US) for a Family Pack, which includes one master account with 20GB of storage and four Family Member accounts with 5GB of storage each. MobileMe subscribers can purchase an additional 20GB of storage for $49 (US) or 40GB of storage for $99 (US) annually.

With a MobileMe email account, all folders, messages and status indicators look identical whether checking email on iPhone, iPod touch, a Mac ...

In the US the new iPhone 3G is priced at a stunning $199 for the 8GB model, and just $299 for the 16GB model. iPhone 3G will be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countries - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US - on July 11.

Just a few hours from now, Apple CEO Steve Jobs will take the stage at the company's developer conference in San Francisco and -- almost certainly -- unveil a new version of the iPhone. We know the new phone will pack faster cellular networking -- known as 3G -- and that Apple will finally allow outside developers to create programs for its phone. The device's other features, though, remain sealed behind Apple's nearly impregnable wall of secrecy (nearly impregnable: many educated guesses

Okay, this isn’t the first time fake Apple products have been “leaked” before the actual announcements but come on, Steve Jobs will be unveiling the real thing in a few hours. Can’t people wait. The answer is of course, no. first of all, Apple never officially confirmed an iPhone announcement at WWDC. Second of all, we know people would be lining up for the 3G version of the Apple phone and laying eyes on spy shots of the phone feels almost as good. The photo above is a fake - at least we hope it is. It’s not a worthy successor of the current model.

RBack in September, I blogged about Apple’s cool new iPhone, which had then just been introduced to the UK market. I wrote that, although it was clearly an object of immense desire, I was unlikely to buy one because: (a) it came as part of a package that cost a whopping £899 at least; and (b) it used the slower Edge technology, rather than state-of-the-art 3G. It appears that I wasn’t the only mobile user to decide to keep his money, because the Telegraph tells us today that Apple have decide

With the imminent launch of its 3G iPhone, Apple has a window of opportunity to have a significant impact on the mobile TV market, according to the latest report from Analysys Mason. There is considerable speculation about what next to expect from Apple’s iPhone ahead of CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco on Monday.

“The iPhone could become the mobile video delivery device of choice for many consumers, by providing a compelling mobile TV and video proposition before mobile broadcasting networks, such as DVB-H become widely available”, says Mark Heath, co-author of the new Analysys Mason report iPhone Shows the Way for Mobile TV.

Many operators are offering mobile TV services, using 3G streaming, but these are constrained by lack of coverage, relatively poor quality of service and 3G capacity limitations (as 3G networks may only support relatively low penetrations of mobile TV users).

Market research shows that many iPhone owners have accessed TV and video content, with greater frequency than subscribers using other types of mobile handsets. With added 3G capability, the iPhone will bring the following highly attractive attributes to the mobile TV market.

The sequel is imminent--but what will it be called?

There's near universal agreement that Steve Jobs is going to unveil the next iPhone at next week's Worldwide Developers' Conference keynote in San Francisco. Whether it's next week, next month, or next year, however, it raises a thorny semantic question: what will it be called? Most wags are dubbing it "the 3G iPhone," as it's certain to include the high-speed 3G (third-generation) wireless capabilities missing on the original model. But it's still going to be the second-generation iteration of the product--thus, "the 2G iPhone." Which one's correct?

Solar-powered Apple devices may be on the horizon, according to patent filings by the Cupertino-based company. The patent suggests that Apple may contemplate integrating a layer of solar cells underneath a device's liquid crystal display, possibly used in iPhones, iPods or MacBooks.

Apple products, such as the iPhone, have screens that are exceptionally large for portable devices. According to the patent, the solar panel would be stacked behind the LCD display, absorbing light rays that pass through the display.

It won't be the first time a company tried to integrate solar capabilities into a phone. Motorola received a patent, filed in 2001, for LCDs that allow more light to pass through than previous designs. Other approaches, said the Motorola patent, had resulted in small amounts of power being generated that only added incremental boosts to power-hungry cell phones.

Motorola said technical problems were noted by the limited area ...

The 2007 introduction of the iPhone brought a corona-like reawakening to the wireless industry, an industry that had long fallen asleep in a bed of poppys. Reviewers desperately tried to make the boring breathtaking as OEMs dolled out truckloads of phones that in many respects remind me of Henry Ford’s famous words regarding his Model T, “You can have any color, as long as it’s black.”

The major carriers, in concert with manufacturers, had hitherto made up all the rules. They decided the kind of operating systems we would use, spending enormous amounts of money only to produce awkward and silly web environments, challenging sub-menus and odd and often useless tools and applications.

Then along came the iPhone, and overnight everyone’s world view changed. No longer subjugated by the intellectually challenged firewall of Corporate Wireless and the painful drip, drop, drip release of technology, the iPhone showed up to the party like Bob Dylan at a Bay City Rollers concert. The iPhone can do what?!
