The desirability of the iPhone has been negatively affected by various issues since iPhone 4 was launched in 2010. It is safe to say that the iPhone 4 is, perhaps, the worst version of the iPhone! From the first day's Antennaegate to the new year's Alarm-ageddon, Apple needs to smooth things out quickly lest they be beaten by the growing competition. 2010 is generally not a good year for the iPhone. And so far, 2011 is NOT enjoying a good start as well.

The Philippines was the original texting capital of the world. When SMS was introduced to the public in 1995, it was used as a promotional gimmick for the hearing impaired. It was in fact originally offered as a value-added service available for free to subscribers. Not surprisingly, Filipinos started getting cellphones for the purpose of texting only so that they could communicate instantly for free. The telecoms caught on to this trend and started charging PHP1.00 per text message. For some good reason, that price did not change since...

Part 3: Can Technology Really Make Our Life Simpler?

Part 1: Can Technology Really Make Our Life Simpler? Part 2: Can Technology Really Make Our Life Simpler?  The cellphone, as the cellular phone was later called, spread like news! Everyone was willing to pay the extra dollars for the convenience of making calls as desired... and the inconvenience of getting calls when and where not desired. There were calls on the street. There were calls in the train. There were calls in the bus. There were calls in the meeting. There were calls in the theater. There were calls in the restroom...

Part 2: Can Technology Really Make Our Life Simpler?

Part 1: Can Technology Really Make Our Life Simpler? The cordless phone proved to be a hit! There's no need to rush to the phone anymore. You could reach for a phone as soon as it rang. You could reach for a phone almost the same instant you felt like calling someone. You could reach for the phone while cleaning the car in the garage. Your friends could wake you up at 2 AM for a late night party invite simply by calling your phone in the bedroom. It was convenient. It was like your world just got smaller. Or did you get bigger? Well, the living room was not getting bigger after all. With four cordless phones in the house, the house showed its true size... it was actually smaller than you thought.
