I like many of you out there with a brand new iPhone 2.0 have been in love with the App Store. I’ve downloaded my fair share of [...]
I can’t be the only one having this problem. Here’s the scenario. I listen to my iPhone 3G in my car via a dock that is attached to a cigarette lighter adapter. If I leave it in the car, as soon as I re-start the car, it goes into landscape mode and won’t come out [...]

I’ve got to say that I do appreciate some of Apple’s enhancements. The double-press of the home button is a time saver. [...]
This was also anticipated. Updating your iPhone with the latest firmware performs a restore and wipes out installer.app and any non-Apple applications. I’m sure this too will be corrected in a day or two.
There is one thing that I’m curious about. Are all these non-Apple applications and ringtones still taking up space [...]
As expected, Apple has closed up an exploit that Ambrosia Software was was taking advantage of in iToner to copy over ringtones. There are reports that old ringtones will still work if you don’t try launching iToner, but I cannot confirm that. Ambrosia Software is aware of the problem and are actively working [...]
