‘I Am Rich’ App Pulled from App Store

Posted on 06 August 2008 by

Looks like another app bites the dust, but this time, I say good riddance!  It was called "I Am Rich" and it professed to be, well, the app for rich people.

iPhone Picture Messaging–Well, Sort of

Posted on 30 July 2008 by

One thing that's long been missing from the iPhone is MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service. While the SMS on the iPhone is fantastic, you still can't send photos through it, which leaves you to send pictures by means of e-mail, which is not exactly convenient.
