Google Latitude: Should We Be Happy About an App That Tracks Your iPhone?
By J. Richard - AOL News(Dec. 14) -- Geo-positioning applications for smart phones are all the rage these days, but Google is taking this technology to a new level with Google Latitude for the iPhone, which lets users share and track each other's locations in real time. Foursquare, Gowalla and similar social-networking applications work by harnessing the global-positioning chips within smart phones, allowing users to "check in" at various locations, like home addresses or restaurants.

By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Oct. 22) -- Heaps of health-related apps, many of them from trusted sources and institutions, are available for iPhone users with little more than a few taps and a 99-cent payment.

By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyThis has been quite a week for novelty and inspiration. Alongside the USA's dramatic victory over Algeria in the World Cup and the longest tennis match in history, Apple also rolled out the latest incarnation of its incredibly popular iPhone. In Japan, where the launch for the iPhone 4 began on Thursday morning, Apple's exclusive wireless carrier had sold out by early afternoon.

Some in the telecommunications ...
Apple Reportedly Squashes Sexy iPhone Apps
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Feb. 19) -- Tiger Woods wasn't the only one addressing concerns about seedy sexuality this week. Apple Inc. has also reportedly begun a new, harsher, behind-the-scenes crackdown on erotic applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. On Thursday night, the blog TechCrunch obtained a letter purportedly authored by Apple and addressed to the creator of a popular mobile application called Wobble iBoobs, which allowed users to animate images of their choosing using a "wobbling" or bouncing effect.
