There's good news for those of you out there who are fans of Live365 and would like to listen using your iPhone or iPod Touch. An application that will stream audio from Live365 Internet radio stations has officially been submitted to Apple for approval.
The app was planned for release in the third quarter of 2008, however it did not materialize. At the time of this writing, the ball has been in Apple's court for two weeks.
Back in the early days of the first generation iPhone, the iPhone was a liberal, open-minded hippie device that would learn any word you threw at it. The iPhone dictionary, like it does for most words now, would adapt to even the filthiest word you could muster after you had turned down its suggested correction 3 times. However, somewhere along the line -- Rupert Murdoch, the Waltons (of Wal-Mart, not TV), or maybe the people who own Blockbuster Video -- got a hold of the iPhone dictionary and blacklisted words they considered offensive.

Unfortunately, no. The iPhone uses the EDGE network for data communications. EDGE cannot be used at the same time as a voice call is active as these two types of communications utilize the same channel.
3G capable phones can transmit data and voice simultaneously without interfering with eachother.
The "high technology" sensors (as Apple calls them) in the iPhone are some of the more exciting features this new device brings to the table. These sensors won't result in the iPhone doing anything other phones aren't capable of, but it will let the iPhone do it without instruction from you.
The proximity sensor:
The operating system will be stored along side your music. On the bright side, Apple claims that the iPhone's version of OS X should only take up less than half a gigabye of space. So in reality, it appears that iPhones will have 3.5 and 7.5GB of free space to work with.
First it was Christmas, then it was January 9th, then it was January 15th. All of these, as you already know, proved to be wrong. For now, the official word from both Apple and Cingular is that the iPhone will go on sale in June of this year (2007). Neither company has offered an exact release date and our feeling is we won't be hearing of one any time soon.
