It's hard to believe, but we are just over a week away from the start of the NFL season. For some, it marks the start of fantasy football, where armchair quarterbacks flex their statistical muscle via virtual football teams. My draft happens to be on Tuesday where I'll match wits with 11 other football junkies. Most fantasy GM's will scour the Internet looking for an edge and most will enter their draft rooms with the vaulted cheat sheet. Can the iPhone help you win your league? There are two
In the UK, the iPhone ads are very similar to the campaign being run successfully here in the US. They focus on the iPhone's ability to access "the real Internet". The lack of support for Adobe's Flash and Java was reason enough for the UK Advertising Authority to pull the ads for being misleading. According to reports, at least two people complained to the board and they agreed. "We concluded that the ad gave a misleading impression of the internet capabilities of the iPhone" adding that
On the heels of the $20,000 diamond iPhone case , comes the diamond encrusted iPhone 3G. The diamond encrusted iPhone 3G designed by Knalihs Athem and will set you back $10,000. The diamonds are 3.75 carats and all come with appropriate paperwork certifying both your lunacy and the gems themselves. Okay, well maybe just the gems. Either way, the first 50 are up for sale with 40 additional devices becoming available shortly.

I keep a lot of personal information on my iPhone that I don't want just anyone to have access to, so I've set the Passcode Lock option in Settings with the hope that it will keep my information from prying eyes for the most part if it's misplaced or gets stolen. And I also have my Home Button shortcut set to go to my Favorites in the phone app. It's this very combination that reveals a security flaw where the passcode lock in firmware 2.0.2 can be bypassed, allowing access to your favorite
In a move that can be deemed surprising to say the least, French mobile carrier Orange has admitted to capping the data speed of the iPhone 3G to 384kbps. No reason was given, but Orange will increase the speed to 1 mbps starting on September 15th. The current speed is one quarter of the potential. So, remind me why someone in France would want to upgrade to the iPhone 3G before mid-September?

While I love the iPhone’s accelerometer and how current apps and games take advantage of it, Super Monkey Ball is just plain hard. Hand me a controller with a D-pad or joystick and I could make short work of it, but tilting the iPhone like a madwoman isn’t working all that well for me. Enter iControlPad - they’ve been working on a gamepad for the iPhone for a little while now, but it looks like they are closer to a working model that would be sold for around $30. Sound good? Yeah, I

Remember Open Clip’s Copy & Paste framework I
mentioned the other day? Well, it’s already broken. Yep, you read that right. Broken. The beta version of the iPhone’s next firmware (2.1b4) was released to developers around the same time that Open Clip’s framework was getting talked up on the internets, and it turns out that the “community space” that Open Clip was relying on to be the holding place for copied information to be accessed between applications will be closed off. According to
The gents over iLounge have
reviewed every personal finance app for the iPhone and offered up their opinions on which apps will help you manage your money. While there appears to be no clear cut winner,
Balance ,
Pennies , and
SplashMoney have all made it to their list of recommendations.
Bankarama didn't fare so well, garnering an F, which apparently doesn't stand for fantastic. "
It’s grossly overpriced for what it offers, so much so that we find it impossible to recommend on any basis."
Finding the perfect house can be quite a chore, but there are a host of sites that can make finding that house a little easier. Trulia is one of those sites and now they've released an application for the iPhone. Trulia offers 80% of the listings you'd find on MLS (Multiple Listing Service), making it the biggest listing site with an iPhone application.
Trulia allows you to search for homes for sale in the area based upon your iPhone's built-in location finder. You can also find open houses
Just hours after including Tris among our recommended free iPhone apps, comes news that the Tetris clone is getting pulled from the iPhone App Store. As we noted, free apps can either go paid or in this case get removed, so it's a good idea to download them sooner than later. The culprit here appears to be a sticky copyright situation. Word has it The Tetris Company contacted Apple and the developer Noah Witherspoon regarding some formo of copyright infringement. Witherspoon who has made $0
