Based on our sources, Apple had not quite reached that goal, but today released an i…

Technology has made staying in touch with your friends and family both easier and harder: living a fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle is easier (and a lot of fun), but it’s more difficult to keep track of everyone when they’re running around at warp speed.

Choosing to purchase an iPhone will not only cost you a premium on initial price (though now substantially less than on release) but also a $20 per month price increase on any given plan. AT&T and Apple

When there are no power outlets in sight there’s nothing more frustrating than a dying laptop battery.
