iPhone Accelerometer May Be Susceptible to Keylogger Attack

Security is something that is never far from a smartphone owner's mind. After all, these little computers, be they of the iOS, Android, or other variety, contain the keys to our lives.

Just think about the kind of information you keep on your iPhone; the kinds of passwords you enter as a matter of routine. Gmail passwords, Paypal passwords, your bank's internet banking details: it all goes through your iPhone.

According to new research by the Georgia Institute of Technology, it's possible that all these keystrokes could be logged, and all thanks to your iPhone's accelerometer. But before you rush out to change all your passwords, it's worth checking out just what such a keylogging attack would entail...

First Google Music App Now Available in the App Store

Remember Google Music? Back in May, Google unveiled a beta version of its cloud-based music service that allows users to upload up to 20,000 songs to its servers. Users can then access that music from almost any device with a web connection.

A major downside to the service is that it hasn't had a native iOS app. It's had a web app of sorts, but never an actual application. Until now. Macgasm is reporting that gMusic, a native Google Music app, has just surfaced in the App Store...

Workaround Adds Siri Support to Remember the Milk

Siri is obviously the breakout feature in Apple's latest handset. Love it or hate it, you can't deny that it's a crowd pleaser (when the servers are up). Even the critics that say that the system is too limited right now, but we all have to agree that Siri has some great potential.

The potential lies with third party developers. Currently Siri can't launch apps or perform tasks inside third party applications, but it's coming. And the folks behind the popular task manager Remember The Milk are leading the way...

How Apple Improved the iPhone 4S Location Feature

Right before Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S on October 4th, The Next Web published a story where they claimed the new iPhone would have "more definitive GPS features." Turns out they were right, even though it hasn't been officially confirmed.

I don't know if you've noticed, but location services on the iPhone 4S are sharper than ever. That's because Apple added support for some Russian technology to the mix...

Meet the Fourth US Carrier for the iPhone 4S

It's just been announced that the iPhone 4S will be available on a fourth US carrier, and no, it's not T-Mobile. Oddly enough, C Spire Wireless, formerly known as Cellular South, will be launching Apple's next smartphone soon.

C Spire will join AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint as an iPhone partner in the US. T-Mobile remains left out in the cold...

Apple: iPhone Rumors Negatively Affect Our Sales

Apple held a conference call yesterday, shortly after announcing its Q4 financial results.

The results made interesting reading, with Apple falling just short of the expected revenue figure of $29.41 billion, making a not-inconsiderable $28.3 billion instead.

The iPhone sold just 17.1 million units against the expected 22 million. But why such a difference between the two numbers, when the iPhone usually sells so strongly? According to Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer, the rumor mill is to blame...

How iCloud Syncing Integrates With iWork [Video]

Caught up in all of the hoopla about the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 was the release of an updated iWork suite for iOS.

The new iWork features iCloud syncing compatibility, a feature that has been in beta for months, but was finally released to the public last week.

Inside, we showcase iWork's new cloud syncing functionality, which allows you to sync documents on your iPod touch, iPad, iPhone, and even your Mac in limited fashion...

Animated History of How the iPhone Came to Be

The iPhone is easily the most recognized smartphone in the world. As most of you know, the iPhone 4S is well on its way to becoming the fastest selling consumer device in history. Not bad for only being in the business for 4 years.

With that in mind, MacRumors points to an interesting video by the folks over at CNET UK. The clip takes a look at Apple's popular handset, and all of the people and technology that have been involved in making it what it is today...

Apple Reports Record Quarter, Despite Missing the Street’s Expectations

It's that time again, Apple has posted its earnings for Q4 just ahead of the company's quarterly earnings call. Apple set multiple records in the 4th quarter of the 2011 fiscal year, including quarterly revenue, and quarterly net profit.

But the Cupertino company's report doesn't come without some bad news. For the first time since 2002, Apple missed Wall Street's projected earnings, selling less iPhones and iPods than analysts expected. And shareholders are showing their disappointment...

Patent Reveals Apple was Working on an iPhone Nano

One of the most consistent iPhone rumors we've been hearing over the past few years has been that the Cupertino company is working on a 'nano' version of its popular smartphone.

Obviously, nothing has ever materialized, but for some reason the iPhone Nano always seems to surface in the rumor run-up right before Apple releases a new handset. But why? The folks over at PatentlyApple might have the answer...

Sprint Comments On iPhone 4S Data Speed Complaints

This weekend marked the first time that Sprint was ever able to offer Apple's popular smartphone to its customers. The carrier's been waiting for 4 years now to gain access to the coveted handset.

But even though the new iPhone helped the company set a single-day sales record, the weekend launch didn't go as smoothly as planned. Several Sprint subscribers have been complaining about the device's 3G browsing speeds...
