Apple has been openly fighting against Android manufacturers for the past several months. The Cupertino company has accused handset makers like Samsung, HTC, and Motorola Mobility of infringing on its intellectual property.
A lot of people believe that Apple's hoard of patent lawsuits are going to end up stifling innovation, but they're not the only ones doing it. In fact, at this point, Android partners should probably be more afraid of Microsoft and its IP...
As our very own Sebastien correctly predicted, Sprint has announced that it is discontinuing its unlimited data plan. The only catch is that smartphones, including the iPhone, will still be able to take advantage of an all-you-can-eat data plan on Sprint's network.
Sprint will begin imposing data caps on each customer's next bill cycle, but iPhone users won't be affected by the policy change. This move indicates that Sprint doesn't plan on keeping its unlimited plan around in any form for very long.
After talking to Siri on your iPhone 4S, you may have realized that you're talking to a woman. Ask Siri, "What are you wearing?" and you'll usually get a woman's response.
If you haven't realized that Siri is a she, then you prove the point of CNN's Brandon Griggs: people subconsciously prefer a female voice over a male one. The preference apparently harkens back to biology.
Sometimes you write a post and you think, "Does this really need to be said?" In this case, it unfortunately does.

Everyone loves a good app sale, and we've seen quite a few of those over the past couple of weeks. But what about an app, music, iBook, and video sale? That's what's going on at Best Buy right now.
9to5Toys, a site dedicated to finding the best deals in electronics, points to a Best Buy sale that ends this weekend. Apparently, the nation-wide retail chain is selling iTunes gift cards at a nice discount...
Notice I said favorite RSS feed, and not feeds. Yes, RSSWidget works great, but it's ridiculously restrictive when it comes to the number of feeds you can have.
In fact, you can only have one feed. Besides that obvious limitation, RSSWidget is a decent little Notification Center jailbreak widget. Check inside as we take it for a spin on video...
Earlier in the month we warned you that updating to iOS 5 on your original iPad would remove the device's multi-touch gestures. These gestures were never an official iOS feature, but they were baked into previous versions of the mobile software.
The feature allows users to swipe between apps, reveal the multitask bar, and access the home screen — all with on-screen gestures. Needless to say, some folks were upset when this option disappeared. But don't worry, we know how to get it back...

Oopsy! Someone at A&T didn't get the memo. Yes, the iPhone 4S is all new and fast, but it is not 4G compatible, unlike what AT&T currently advertises on its website.
If you go to this page on AT&T's site, you will get a list of 4G devices. The first one at the top of the list is the iPhone 4S, which we know only supports 3G at this point...
