App of the Day: AOL Radio is My iPhone's New Best FriendSo my favorite app for the new iPhone firmware is a surprise, at least to me. AOL Radio takes the cake so far. Why? 'Cause I can get WFAN from New York on it. I'm a sports radio junkie and while I've come to really love KNBR out here in San Francisco, and The Dan Patrick Show on pdocast, I miss the FAN. Nothin' like Steve Sommers (is he even still around?) and Jerome from Manhattan to brighten up the workday or soothe me to sleep when it's late and I'm tossing and turning. While WFAN does stream via iTunes and their own Website, listening to my laptop in the car or in bed isn't so practical. So it was a ncie surprise to see the FAN listed on the new AOL Radio for iPhone/iPod Touch app. I hooked the iPhone into my car stereo for the drive down to Silicon Valley today and caught up on the latest NYC sports news - for nostaligia's sake as much as anything else, I'll admit. The app worked well via EDGE and 3G, only dropping the stream twice during the 20-30 minutes I listened -- and dropping out in more or less the same place each time (once on the way down South and the other coming back home). I'm guessing the peformance will be even better via WiFi at home. If you've got an iPhone or Touch, check out the free AOL Radio app -- and also check out Pandora, which is a pretty interesting "Roll your own radio station" service. You can also access them both from your computer's Web browser. All about Our fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Friday, July 18, 2008couldn't agree more!! the AOl radio app is fantastic, especially when i am home working out. i never loose connection when i use wifi at home. don't really like pandora though...

Phone Wars: Why do (some) people hate the iPhone?I got this question today via Facebook and thought it warranted some thought ... and all that thought warranted a blog post. So I ask you, as you read on, what do YOU think? Why do some people just seem to hate the iPhone (and Apple) so much? Noah, maybe you can answer this for me: Why is it when people praise the iPhone, they're viewed as either blind fanboys, or on the Cupertino payroll, and when people praise 'any' other... iPhone Sports: SportsTap is a loser, ESPN for iPhone is a winnerI've been using SportsTap, a free iPhone application available at Apple's App Store, for the past month or two now. As of yesterday I'm no longer using it, and have replaced it on my Home screen with a link to ESPN's iPhone-optimized mobile site. Why?1. This past Sunday I was hanging out with a Mets fan friend of mine. I used SportsTap to check the score of the Mets game - which baseball fans know was do-or-die (die,... iPhone Watch: Facebook 2.0 app available for free downloadDid you know you can keep up with the PhoneDog Crew (that's what YouTube called us last week) via our Facebook page?

Oops. The good news is that Facebook 2.0 adds a bunch of popular FB functionality (including, apparently, photo...

Their stock is getting hammered and leading a NASDAQ plunge. Esquire ran an article about how Steve Jobs is very much mortal, after all. And now this.9to5mac is reporting that an insider sort of tipster claims "Apple will be announcing iPhones for Verizon Wireless in 2009, perhaps as early as Macworld 2009." That's all kinds of good news for iPhone lovers and VZW supporters out there, and... iPhone on T-Mobile: More problems and more fixes for T-Zones dataSo my iPhone data went out again about two weeks ago. For the uninitiated, I use an unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile and get data via the $5.99/mo T-Zones plan. I unlocked my iPhone using PwnageTool for Mac, and activated the data using the "Big Boss T-Zones Hack" available via Cydia. Apparently T-Mobile changed the IP addresses on their T-Zones servers about a month ago, knocking out service to many a subscriber like me who doesn't...iPhone updates cost money?I didn't know you had to pay for updates, is there an article about this?
