If you’ve enjoyed  our previous top 40 games for the iPhone, you’ll make good use of this list of Top 40 free iPhone utilities. The apps work well with both the iPhone and iPod Touch. And all of these applications are available at no cost from the iTunes store. Just touch the App Store icon on the main screen of your iPhone or Touch, and then select Search.

With speculation mounting that the iPhone 3.0 is coming in 2009, what can we expect in terms of specifications and features?

The long-awaited Apple iPhone 2.0 (not version 3.0) finally arrived officially in Thailand on Friday and yet on the day of the launch everyone was talking about the next version. Which is perhaps not quite what the exhibitors had in mind.
