As Tizmanian covered a few month back, Google’s MyMaps are customizable. In theory, it should be perfect for the iPhone. Of course, you’re all familiar with Google Maps. You type in a business name, a city or an address and you hit return, in literally seconds, it spans the globe and you a pin placement […]

Of course, it’s a spectacular quarter in the middle of the year. Regardless of Apple but any company that randomly announces the following numbers clearly had a great 3 months: Net income up 73% or $818 million versus $472 a year earlier.

BTW, we have updated this post here – now up to 400 mini apps. Programmers are amazingly resourceful these days – give them access to HTML, Ajax and Javascript, and a challenge – there are already at least 200 mini apps for the iPhone. Note: Some of the links in this post are for the […]

Email survey via your iTunes account email (presumably – I also activated the AT&T.com “wireless account” using that email so it might’ve been from there).
