Mr. Mobile – #29 – What does iPhone 3.0 actually mean?
Now that the hype surrounding iPhone 3.0 software has abated somewhat, Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile takes a look at iPhone 3.0 software and what it means for everyday iPhone use. iPhone 3.0 software is free for iPhone users but there’s a charge for iPod Touch users.

Mr. Mobile – #25 – Truly instant messaging on your BlackBerry
It’s called “instant messaging,” not “sometime in the not so distant future messaging” for a reason.
