Contrary to popular belief, none of the staff here at apptacious have an iPhone 4… Yet, in fact since this is now a UK based website we’re feeling the pain along with many of our loyal readers.

As with each new iPhone iOS release, features get added and adjusted, but the latest incarnation, iOS4, might be too much for your 3G.

So barely a week after Jobs announced it’s release, iOS4 has gone out for the millions of iPhone and iPod touch users to download and consume, but just what are you getting for that 250mb download? iPhone 3G owners beware As many other blogs have pointed out (and indeed Steve Jobs at the release) iPhone [...]

Having now had the opportunity to experience iPad for just a little over two weeks, I am really enjoying the device. Frankly, I thought that after the initial buzz of it wore off, I’d become quite bored of it, but that has not happened. Far from it in fact, it’s become my defacto device for [...]

Over the years with my iPhone, I’ve spent nearly £200 on various cases and forms of protection for it. Now although I’m careful with my toys, accidents do happen, things knock into your pockets and things slip out of your hand, and whilst I’m lucky enough that I can say I’ve only dropped my iPhone [...]

Scarcely a week after the UK release of the iPad, apple has reviled yet more glass embalmed mutli-touch goodness for us to spend our now dwindling stash of pennies on.
