Apple iPhone ads pulled in UK for being "misleading"

Leave it to the UK and its sensibilities to pull iPhone ads for being just a little misleading. Apple advertises the iPhone as a full Internet-capable device even though it lacks support for Java and Adobe Flash.










A security flaw discovered on the iPhone leaves it wide open to data theft. It seems that password protection does not adequately keep your information under lock and key.
While it was widely speculated that the 3G chip installed in the iPhone was the cause of some ill-fated owner’s connection problems, some new data coming from Wired.com is stating the exact opposite. A study is showing that AT&T and other wireless carriers around the world are to blame for the issues, not the device itself.
There are a lot of fantastic hopes out there for the iPod Touch/iPhone but some of them just don’t seem plausible. This is one such application.
You may want to hold off on that iPod Nano or iPod Touch purchase. The rumor mill is spinning saying that Apple will release new versions of both in the next two to three weeks.
A respected Japanese mobile phone innovator had high praise for the iPhone. In an interview, he expressed the opinion that Japan could not have possibly created the iPhone.
Up until now, Apple has been known for its unshakeable thirst for perfection, with product launch after product launch proving almost flawless. But the launch of the iPhone 3G has changed all of that, and it could lead to a massive class-action lawsuit being filed against the company.
Apple’s latest firmware update, 2.0.1, seems to have caused more problems than it was worth.

Using your iPhone 3G can be a little daunting at first. I think of myself as quite technically literate, but I still found myself jumping onto Google to see how to how to do this or that. What didn’t help was that this was my first "smart" phone and also that I’m Windows user rather than a Mac guy.
The banking giant is going over the idea of possibly dropping its Blackberrys to switch over to iPhones for its employees. If they make the move, it could result in a order larger than 200,000 units for Apple, the largest single order to date.
Global IP Solutions, which is a major player in the world of IP communication services, has launched an SDK aimed at providing developers the tools to create innovative VoIP applications for the iPhone. As you may have guessed, the new-found VoIP services can only be used over a Wi-Fi connection and not via AT&T’s 3G network as some may have hoped.
It has been a busy few months for Apple - not only did the company release the new 3G iPhone, it also set up the new iPhone App Store to enable developers to sell their iPhone software. The new updated iPhone has done astounding business so far, but what about the App Store?
