Setting up iPhone for Hastings Email
The new iPhone 3G (and the related release of software version 2.0 for the original iPhone) now makes it possible to wirelessly sync up with Microsoft Exchange enterprise systems. This is what we use for our Hastings Email. iPhone owners can now wirelessly sync up their Hastings email, email folders, calendars and contacts.

Impact of the Apple iPhone on the Mobile Phone Industry
Although the press coverage of the iPhone’s impact has focused on its immediate effects on sales of competing products, the most important effect of the iPhone is its fundamental challenge to mobile phone industry power structures and product strategies.

It sure sounds like a steal. On Aug. 31, George Hotz plans to trade in his iPhone for a metallic blue Nissan (NSANY) 350Z sports car and three brand-new iPhones. But the 17-year-old’s device is no ordinary Apple phone. Hotz hacked his iPhone and unlocked it so that it can be used on a variety of cell-phone networks, becoming the first person known to have done so. The person buying Hotz’s phone, Terry Daidone, believes he’s the one getting the deal because Hotz has agreed to work for him at his cell-phone refurbishing company, CertiCell.

iPhone™ and iPod®touch Programming: Handling Touch Interactions and Events Sample
An essential part of any Web 2.0 application is the ability to respond to events triggered by the user or by a condition that occurs on the client: the clicking of a button, the pressing of a key, the scrolling of a window. While the user interacts with an HTML element, the entire document, or the browser window, JavaScript serves as the watchful eye behind the scenes that monitors all of this activity taking place and fires off events as they occur.
With their touch screen interface, iPhone and iPod touch are all about direct interactivity with the user. As a result, you would expect any Mobile Safari application you create to be able to handle the variety of finger taps, flicks, swipes, and pinches that a user naturally performs as they interact with their mobile device. However, because of the current capabilities of Mobile Safari browser, you have to work with these interactions differently from what you might expect.
