I thought I’d get away from writing about iPhones today. Then I read on Push Notifications and . Phil knocks it for being a single task beast.
Ask yourself. Can you afford to have all these apps beeping in the background etc.? Do you want them to all have the knowledge of where you are? How […]
What didn’t they say at the iPhone 3G launch? What didn’t they clarify? And what as a user are my fears.
