A big complaint from iPhone developers recently has stemmed from the fact that Apple wouldn’t release download stats for developers to know how well their app is doing among others.  I guess the complaints have been heard loud and clear as Apple is finally reporting daily download stats to registered developers.

It had to happen eventually – unlocked phones are sneaking into the grey market of Asia, whether Apple likes it or not. There have already been sightings in Malaysia, with stores blatantly advertising the availability of unlocked iPhones. Not something that will please Apple because Malaysia is not one of the 70 countries listed as officially carrying the iPhone.

Several reports were filed across the blogosphere today about the occurrence of small hairline-type cracks becoming noticeable on iPhones.  At first, it was thought white versions were the only ones being effected, but later reports confirmed that its black brethren suffers from the same flaw as well.

As the co-founder of ID software, and chief designer of games such as Doom and Quake, John Carmack is a man to be listened to.

Copy and paste might soon come to the iPhone, with the help of a new app that is still waiting to be approved by Apple’s App Store. Why all the fuss about such a simple feature? And why, for all Apple’s slickness, it didn’t incorporate such simple features into the most talked about mobile phone of all time?

Facebook recently announced that their iPhone/iPod app now has 1 million users. Nice number, one that impresses considering that the app was launched at the same time the new Apple App Store opened its doors to business.

For those who wish to subsidize the cost of a new iPhone 3G can rejoice in the fact that the first generation iPhone is still a hot item on both eBay and Craigslist.  With an average price of $375 to over $600, you could more than make up the cost for that shiny new device you want so badly, by selling your old one.

IVYSKIN has introduced a new offering of iPhone cases and accessories that aim to be the best of the bread available today. 

The iPhone, as predicted, gave AT&T a hefty added chunk of change to their bottom line. Sweet, sweet sounds of profit, anyone?
