iWant is a free iPhone app that helps you find what you're looking for. Now, this could be anything from car rentals to restaurants. The GPS finds your location, then show you the nearest places to you.
Granted, there are many other apps out there like this--Yelp, Nearby, urbanspoon, just to name a few. But I think iWant is interesting ...

One thing that has been notably missing from the iPhone is the ability to use MMS. Sure, the SMS has a great interface, but you still can't send picture messages through it. And while you can e-mail photos to your friends, that can be cumbersome at times. But what the iPhone can't do, an iPhone app just might.
Palringo is ...

I know people are still on the lookout for ways to unlock their iPhone 3Gs and now some people are claiming they've done with just a YESSIM sim card. No software needed. The only prerequisite is that you have a jailbroken iPhone.
So what's the downside? I still don't see any proof. Sure, there's a video--and it's posted below--that showcases this ...

Some people just don't love the touch part of the iPhone. Sure, they love the idea of it, but if you have large fingers or aren't quite so nimble, even zooming in can't help you touch the right links. Many have turned to the option of a stylus, but it would seem this just wouldn't work on the iPhone, right? ...

Could the iPhone 3G's GPS system cause you some trouble? That's what some people are convinced of. As you know, when you take photos now, the GPS can help keep track of where the photo was taken and organize it all for you for later reference. The issue arises once these photos are uploaded to sites like Flickr.
Even though ...

It's not a localized problem, anymore. It looks like there is a serious manufacturing fault in the new iPhone 3G, specifically, the cases are cracking. The problem seems to be happening primarily in the white phones, but it could effect all of the new 3Gs.
It appears that the metal frame on which the plastic case attaches is too small. ...

If you're on the lookout for an iPhone case that does something besides keep your iPhone well protected, then you might check one of these out. It doesn't have quite the chic look of a Mophie Juice Pack, but it is a nice alternative.
It does have that nice leather look going for it too. Unfortunately, these won't help ...

Those that know me are aware of my addiction to World of Warcraft. There have been talks at Blizzard about creating a mobile version of the game, likely as some sort of add-on rather than a full-fledged version. Naturally, the iPhone would be the perfect platform for such a title, however, with a recent merger, it's possible that this project ...

When you go to look for a shiny new app for your iPhone the next time, you'll no doubt notice that there are a ton to choose from. How many? At last count, the App Store had just over 1,000 programs waiting to be downloaded. In around two weeks the number of apps has almost doubled.

Everyone knows that it's hard to get your hands on an iPhone 3G these days. But that's to be understood. After all, with a worldwide release, the iPhone is in serious demand, pulling Apple stock a bit thin. Even so, the 16GB model is running out much quicker than all other models.
My basic assumption is that people are merely ...

A lot of people have been having trouble with the Contacts application in iPhone 2.0 on both first-gen and 3G models. And though lag has been reported throughout much of the iPhone, it is especially apparent in Contacts.
But there is a quick fix until this bug is addressed. You can use the Google app to access your contacts. If ...
