It’s no longer a question of “if”? The new question is “when will the growth of smartphone and tablet adoption reach the majority of the world population?” Already the world is buying more smartphones than computers; in some countries, the smartphone is the computer for many who cannot afford both.

It’s all a matter of perception. If they don’t want what they think is in the case, you won’t have to worry about it getting stolen.

If you’ve ever wanted a little more volume from your iPhone, worry no more. Here is the World’s cheapest iPhone amplifier in all it’s glory. The sweetest thing is you probably had one lying around and you didn’t even know it. Turns out I had a whole cache of them sitting right in my loo…who knew. I should turn right around and sell them on eBay and Craigslist, maybe I could make a pretty penny. Lord knows they need more traffic since this occurred.

This is not an ad for the iPhone. This is an ad for AXA, a Belgium insurance company. It has to be one of the coolest ads I’ve seen in a long long time. It’s creative things like this that really make me remember a company and their products. What a great idea and amazing implementation of new technology. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a whole lot more ads like this in the near future.

Do you have an iPad or an iPhone? Think they don’t have enough functionality? Well these clever guys have added another new feature to their repertoire. Now you can have a walking version. I think they may even make UNK jealous.

And I’d swear that Skyler Stone has a little case of Richard Alpertitis going on (note: the first photo is not actually Mr. Stone…but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look just like him).

In another 30 years maybe we’ll be viewing things like this too.

They’ve become famous for dropped calls and being behind on standard technologies like MMS, etc. So, it’s likely to assume AT&T receives a lot of calls from upset customers.

Just got this sent to me… Should I be afraid?

So you’ve got a great idea for an iPhone app (who doesn’t?) but you can’t design it, let alone develop it. So what do you do? Put pen to paper and send off your idea only to get something totally different because your S’s look like 5′s and you can’t draw a perfect circle? No. Well, before now yes, but now you’ve got this handy tool… its a stencil for designing iPhone apps, complete with every button and icon available for the iPhone UI.
