iPhone Firmware 2.2 to be released on Nov. 21

Categories: 3g, Apple, Applications, Featured, iphone | add this page to Mister Wong

It looks like Apple is indeed pushing through with the release of iPhone firmware 2.2 and if the latest rumor is to be believed, we’ll see it go live on November 21st. Aside from the Google Maps Street View and new layout of Safari, you’ll also be able to turn off text auto-correction, download podcasts from the App Store, and use the headphone jack as a Line-in port when you upgrade to firmware 2.2. We’re not sure if this is the complete list of new features in the latest firmware for the iPhone, but unless Apple has done something to make it more jailbreak-proof (which I suppose is nearly impossible), then we’re almost certain that an iPhone 2.2 jailbreak won’t be far behind when it’s released on November 21.

iPhone Say Who Voice Dialing Doesn’t Need Training

Categories: 3g, Apple, Application, Featured, iphone | add this page to Mister Wong

As great as the iPhone 3G may be, it's not without its faults. For whatever reason, it doesn't do copy and paste, and it doesn't do voice-dialing. Well, at least that second part has now been alleviated with the recent release of the "Say Who" app available through everyone's favorite App Store. Voice dialing is a standard feature on a lot of mobile phones these days, even though most people never really make use of it. Even so, most of these phones require you to "train" it to recognize what you say. For many of these, you have to make a voice recording for each and every entry in your phone book, but if you're lucky, then you may only have to take the phone through a general training program.

Study Reveals iPhone as Most Reliable Smartphone

Categories: 3g, Apple, Featured, iphone | add this page to Mister Wong

Most owners of BlackBerry devices love their smartphones and a big part of this has to do with BlackBerry reliability. As it turns out, however, the BlackBerry is not the most reliable smartphone on the market. It's the iPhone. SquareTrade is a company that sells extra warranties for cell phones and other devices, so you could say that it knows a thing or two about the relative reliability of different electronic devices. Naturally, this study was based only on reported data and there could be some users out there who just "put up" with problems rather than having their phones fixed through the warranty process. Even so, we have to go with what we have and what we have is saying that the iPhone is twice as reliable as the BlackBerry. Via mobilecrunch.com
