So you might be wondering how many stores will be carrying the iPhone when it comes out. I think it's been pretty safe to say that all of the Apple stores will be carrying the iPhone, but just how many AT&T stores will have the phone stocked at release?
According to a meeting Apple had with Bear Stearns analyst Andrew Neff that it will be carried at 2,000 retail outlets when ...

I'm not one to sit around all day and come up with wild conspiracy theories (though I could tell you a tale about JFK) but here's something that has been bugging me since yesterday afternoon. What are the odds that the FCC would announce approval of the iPhone just a day after the false story regarding a delay of the iPhone?
The whole thing just doesn't sit right with me. First, ...

Apple had an open house yesterday in Elk Grove, CA for the purpose of hiring 'iPhone Personal Trainers.' Honestly, that's got to be one of the weirdest titles for a tech job, but who am I to judge?

News Flash 6/3/2007:
New iPhone Ads Now Available on Apple.com!
Apple iPhone release date is June 29th, and new video of iPhone ad!

Today we get our first look at the “wickedly cool” “Media Monster” otherwise known as the MOTO Z8. Will it live up to the hype? We'll see.
Since it is to be a “Media Monster” it's going to need some good multimedia functions. The screen is very important, since you're going to be staring at it a lot. So they gave it a QVGA 16 million color TFT display that will ...
