Review: iPhone Dummy Display Phone – Oddly awesome
Guess what showed up in the mail today? WRONG! It’s the iPhone Dummy Display Phone from USB Fever. Above: The dummy iPhone (right) looks more real than my ColorWare painted iPhone (left). Costing 1/10th the price of an actual working iPhone, and providing 1/50th the functionality, the iPhone Dummy Display Phone is oddly awesome. Above: OMG it even has a serial number! I apparently got the 8GB dummy. Aside from not working, there is really no discernible way for the... Read More
Doug’s Rumor Corner: iPhone 2.0 “Safe Directory”
Faithful Macenstein reader Doug is back once again with his trademark “inside info”, this time with some dirt on the iPhone’s (alleged) upcoming “Safe Directory”. (It should be pointed out that after 7 or so “inside scoops”, we have yet to be contacted by Apple legal about any of Doug’s inside information. Still, they are always fun to read). iPhone 2.0 “Safe Directory” A feature that may or may not see the light of... Read More
The 3G iPhone: Apple’s OTHER trojan horse
This is why I own Apple stock… [Maps courtesy of macblogz.com] Yeah, I took a little liberty with the June 29th worldwide iPhone date – most international carriers have simply announced deals to carry the iPhone, not firm release dates – but odds are the majority of countries should not be more than a couple months after the US rollout. Like the iPod, only more so As nice as the potentially billions of dollars in sales and monthly shared revenue will be for... Read More
The iPhone’s f’d up keyboard
Above: Room for a 4th? I realize we iPhone users are supposed to be well-off, but it seems a little odd to me that I don’t have the ability to type the “¢” symbol on my iPhone if I should want to (not that I would ever want to dirty my hands dealing with such plebeian currency, of course). In fact, as I flicked through the iPhone’s various text input screens this morning trying to tell a friend I saw something on eBay for only 45¢, I realized it... Read More

Samsung has a history of stealing Mac OS X icons
I’m not sure if rumors of Samsung using Safari in their new L870 handset are true or not – some say it simply means they are using a webkit-based browser, others say it is is actually Safari. Call me cynical, but I am betting Apple did NOT license the actual Safari app to another mobile phone company. I’m a little wary of Samsung’s mobile division in general, as they have a history of stealing icons for their handsets from OS X. Hmmm… that pencil... Read More
Who the hell are Niffirg?
MacRumors forum member raggedjimmi had the quote of the day today in reference to these alleged shots of Griffin case molds for the 3G iPhone. “Who the hell are Niffirg? Calling fake.” – MacRumors member raggedjimmi Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Arn for the tip! Read More
Incestuous iFund funding?
Hmmm… Well, this is rather scandalous. It seems that both the named companies to receive iFund funds for iPhone application development thus far (out of over 1700 applicants) have deep ties to Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the group overseeing the fund, with one in particular, iControl, even having a KPCB partner on its board… I suppose that’s one way to put your application on the fast track… [via a comment on digg.com] “John Doerr stood...

99.83% of all new iPhone apps will suck [UPDATED]
Remember that mysterious iFund setup by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to support worthwhile iPhone app development? Well, according to 9 to 5 Mac, a whopping 3 apps out of over 1700 submissions have thus far been deemed support-worthy by the fund, with a possible 10 more “being considered”. We’re no mathemagicians, but that more or less means the iFund trustees only deem 0.17% of all apps being submitted as showing any promise, or, to the glass half-empty... Read More
