New iPhone app for wine lovers

If you're like me, a wine enthusiast without a lot of expertise, selecting a bottle can be downright stressful. More than once, I've wandered around and around in a shop, under the gaze of a not-too-helpful sales person who keeps pushing expensive items. I usually wind up choosing based on a cool label or staring at a dinner table wine menu like a deer caught in headlights (that is, until I close my eyes and pick something at random). For mere...

32GB iPhone Coming?

The launch of Nokia's flagship, touchscreen and QWERTY N97 has already sparked the inevitable "iPhone Killer" comparisons.  Without getting all into that, it is worth mentioning that the N97 will pack a whopping 32GB of internal memory backed by a microSD card slot officially capable of supporting another 16GB of storage when the phone ships sometime in the first half of next year. Apple's iPhone 3G currently tops out at 16GB of fixed...

BlackBerry Storm Updates

The horribly over-hyped, gimmicky, disappointing, bug-plagued BlackBerry Storm should soon be getting its first dose of badly-needed firmware fixes, according to Greg over at MobileCrunch, and a host of other Internet reports.  I still think the Storm would be best off slimming down and losing the silly click-screen mechanism altogether, but if you're digging the SurePress action and just waiting until the lags, crashes, and other kinks get...

Black Friday Deaths

Around these parts we spend a lot of time covering an industry that revolves around consumerism.  I make no bones about the fact that your interest in buying newer, faster, better, and shinier gadgetry goes a long way to making my gig here at PhoneDog possible.  Given that I think it'd be utterly hypocritical for me to write another article decrying America for its greedy, overly-materialistic ways - plenty of other writers have...
