Fair disclosure right now: this is going to be a boring post about whether Apple are evil or wonderful, and so many of you won't give a rat's backside. But it's not very technical, it's about business ethics, so I hope you'll give it a punt... Jason Calacanis, CEO of...

Last week I shared some of my favourite iPhone apps. Here's a few more, including transport tools, media apps and a set of web information tools... We start with the quartet of public transport apps I use. I wish it didn't require 4 separate apps to do all this...

The percentage of my friends who have an iPhone is quite frankly incredible. So when we get together, once we've caught up on our latest news and got through a pint or two, the question inevitably arises, have you got any good new apps? Similarly when chatting to someone...

Following Apple's announcements on Monday I'm asking myself the question, '3G or not 3G?' on 2 levels. First, shall I upgrade to an iPhone 3G? Second, just how "3G" is the iPhone 3G anyway? I'll address them in reverse order. The iPhone 3G looks to be a mightily tempting...

Just about anyone who knows me will know that I want an iPhone, and that me getting one as soon as I can is about as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow morning. But I'm not stupid - I know it has flaws. Personally, I don't care that much about the lack of 3G, but I...
