1. Use your iPhone as a storage device
One of side benefits to the iPod beyond its music-playing capabilities is the fact that you can use it to store files. You can’t do this with an out-of-the-box iPhone. But with the help of a $10 program—and a Mac—you can. The app is iPhoneDrive, a small utility from Ecamm Network that displays the free storage area of an iPhone in the manner of a Finder window in Column view. To add files to the iPhone, either click the Copy to iPhone button or drag a file or folder to the iPhoneDrive Window; dragging from the iPhone or clicking on Copy From iPhone puts iPhone files on your Mac. Note that music and photo files for use on your iPhone are off limits.—CHRISTOPHER BREEN
2. Get a bigger keyboard for Web browsing
Like any other iPhone function requiring data entry, tapping Safari’s address bar summons an on-screen keyboard. However, if you rotate the iPhone horizontally before tapping the address bar, the Safari window will switch to horizontal mode; then, when you then tap the address bar, the onscreen keyboard also appears horizontally. More important, it will also be much larger than the standard vertical keyboard, making data entry a little easier. By the way, Safari is currently the only iPhone application in which this horizontal keyboard appears. (Also worth noting: If you summon the keyboard before rotating your iPhone, then Safari won’t rotate.)—DAN FRAKES

With touchscreen phones all the rage, and U.S. telcos following AT&T’s (T) lead of cutting the price of Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, it would seem Nokia (NOK) will be left out of the smartphone party this year.
The Finnish phone giant won’t have its closely-watched 5800 phone – Nokia’s music-loaded take on the iPhone – available here until sometime in the first half of next year, according to people familiar with the phone. Nokia wasn’t immediately available for comment.
And even when it arrives, Nokia has lacked a big U.S. phone partner that would provide the subsidy necessary to put it under the $200 range. At full price, it will have a hard time making a big splash.
“You could look at it as having a 100% upside,” says Nielson IAG analyst Roger Entner, referring to Nokia’s measly share of the U.S. market. Make that a potential upside of 95.5% since Nokia’s slice of the U.S. market has now fallen a percentage point from year-ago levels to 4.5%.

Sometimes, acceessing Google Mail accounts causes error in iPhone Mail application, here tip how to solve the issue…
Several users have reported an issue in which accessing Gmail accounts causes the iPhones Mail application to crash consistently. Likewise, any other applications that access Gmail, including Contacts, crashes when Gmail data are present. Apple Discussions poster rowanpettett writes:
“I did a fresh restore, and synchronized mail, calendar and contacts to our Exchange Server with no problems whatsoever. But as soon as I added my Google Apps IMAP account, my Contacts started to crash if I scrolled to the bottom of the list or tried to search.”
There are three potential fixes for this issue:
- Reset network settings: Settings > General > Reset network settings
- Restore the iPhone in ITunes.
- Change password Navigate to your Gmail account page on a computer and change the accounts password. Next, delete the Gmail account from the iPhone and reestablish it.

This statistic is pretty interesting: Not only does the Motorola) Razr continue to outsell the Apple iPhone, more people are using it to access to the mobile Web. So says AdMob, anyway, in a report of the ad impressions it gets from each handset across the 5,000-plus sites it serves.
AdMob releases a report each month about the mobile advertising space. The company has been providing statistics on mobile ads since September 2007. This month’s report sheds some interesting light on which phones are surfing the mobile Web the most. It ain’t the iPhone. In fact, the iPhone isn’t even in second place.

A US security consultant has used a security-testing tool to crack the iPhone. The exploit allows a hacker to control an iPhone remotely.
Farrow demonstrated how he used HD Moore’s Metasploit tool to gain root access to the iPhone and install an application that can record conversations on and near the iPhone, transforming the device into a spy tool. It also allowed him to remotely access recently modified files, locally stored emails and view the iPhone’s web-browsing history.
“Using a specially crafted web page utilising an iPhone exploit (now patched) he gained root level shell access to the phone — which means he could do anything that the iPhone is capable of from his laptop,” explained Jarno Niemelä, security researcher for the security vendor, F-Secure.
“This exploit actually involved you doing something with the iPhone, or in this case, I do something with the iPhone to get the exploit to work. This is not at all unusual. Most PCs are actually exploited because people visit a website and wind up being exploited,” Farrow told US business and technology publication, Fast Company. More…
Apple seems set to gain yet more market share on strength of continued increases in the company’s laptop sales, a research company has claimed.
Citing a report in the Chinese-language Commercial Times, DigiTimes reveals research from Taiwan’s Topology Research which claims Apple will see volume sales climb 30 per cent year-on-year in 2008.
This is likely to translate into a one percentage point addition to Mac marketshare in 2008, the report indicates. It predicts 116 million laptops (from all vendors) will ship next year, up from 93 million units in 2007.
The report notes that component shortages seem to have impacted 2007’s laptop sales, which would have been higher if such parts had been more readily available.
The good news doesn’t end there. Research from NPD reveals Apple’s iPhone has grabbed over a quarter of the US smartphone market since the device launched in July. More…

Google’s long-anticipated mobile plans finally emerged this week in the form of Android, the company’s mobile Linux platform.
However, despite the short time that has elapsed since the platform’s announcement, a debate has already been sparked around the security of its development. Can the open-source model produce secure code? Will phones based on Android, dubbed “Gphones” by many, be more or less secure than Apple’s iPhone, which has been developed using proprietary software? What will Android’s developers be able to do to stop authors of malicious code for mobile devices capitalising on its openness?
Security vendor McAfee, which produces proprietary security software for mobile devices, has been quick to defend open-source practices for developing mobile code. McAfee is a member of the Linux Mobile (LiMo) Foundation, a group of companies formed to develop an open mobile-device software platform. Many of the companies in the LiMo Foundation have also become members of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), which Google has formed to develop and promote Android.
Jan Volzke, global marketing manager for McAfee Mobile Security, said that Linux is not new to the mobile arena and maintained that secure coding practices can successfully be built into the Android development process.
“Japan has a large deployment, with 60 percent of phones powered by Linux. McAfee protection has been integrated in the majority of these mobile Linux phones for many years,” said Volzke. “For any mobile-device platform, security should not be a developer option but a mandatory requirement. Consumers — as well as operators — expect devices to be safe from the outset, with no effort required from them.”
Volzke said security can be built in from the beginning of the development process by collaboration between security companies, although, at the moment, McAfee is the only security player in the LiMo Foundation. More…
