Remember when Apple allowed their iPhone SDK to have VoIP apps to be used over the 3G network? We saw the announcement of a Fring 3G iPhone app, but the only 3G VoIP app we were all waiting for was Skype. Why is a 3G version of Skype so important? Skype over 3G will allow...

Every time Apple releases an update to their iPhone SDK, code hunters go straight to work. With some thorough digging, it's possible to "predict" what could be coming next from Apple. According to some tipsters over at Engadget, a recent discovery had resulted in the codename of the next iPhone. A set of folders were...

Remember back in late December, when I mentioned how iPhoneinCanada.ca was nominated for a 2009 Golden Retrevo Award? We were originally nominated under the "All Things Apple" category, but yesterday we found out we won an award under the "Mobile Gadgets" category (I sure hope that was right)! Nevertheless, I'd like to personally thank each...

Just hours ago Apple released an update to iTunes, version 9.0.3. For those out there that are in the business of jailbreaking and unlocking their iPhones, you can rest assured that this latest version of iTunes is good to go. iTunes 9.0.3 provides a number of important bug fixes, including: iTunes no longer ignores your...

One of the most common complaints about the iPhone OS is that Adobe's Flash is not supported.

However, Flash has its shortcomings: resource-heavy (memory leaks, plugin crashes, etc), security (malware), and thirst for power...

Do you ever get bored of seeing that same old wallpaper day after day on your iPhone? Would you prefer to turn on your iPhone and be like, "that's so awesome!" or "I wish I could be sitting in that hammock on that hot sunny beach instead of here at work!" Well get ready to...

A main concern for many iPhone users is none other than battery life. When you are glued to your iPhone it gets pretty tough to have the battery last more than a day. There's no way around this other than to have your iPhone charger nearby, or invest in a backup battery solution. We've taken...

The last time we talked about Fring was when the iPhone app was updated with one-way Video Calling via Skype! That was pretty neat, but the downside was that Fring was still limited to WiFi to operate. Well, fear no more because ever since Apple updated their iPhone SDK to allow VoIP over 3G, it...

John Gruber from DaringFireball.net always has insightful analysis of Apple movements and is known on the net as an authoritative figure in the "Apple-space". His blog is one of the most popular technology blogs on the internet (his linking to the CBC Spark Blog caused them to exceed their bandwidth and get suspended!). Yesterday he...

Most predictions from yesterday's Apple iPad Event was that we would see some sort of preview of the next iPhone OS--which never came.
