With the advent of the App Store where you can download AIM for free, there is now a way to send SMS messages for free. This method is brought to you by Jeff Carlson of Tidbits.com and will comprise this week’s Tip! (Important note: the following method is only proven to work in the U.S.)

The iPhone 3G is a data monster. With speeds of 400, 600 or more than 1400kps reported in some areas, it sucks down information faster than El Jobso does veggie smoothies. Unfortunately, not every carrier in every country provides unlimited data plans to go with Apple’s next generation revolutionary internet device, or even reasonable data. [...]
Apple rates the iPhone 3G’s talk time at 5 hours over the high-speed 3G network. While the call quality seems vastly improved due to more data being passed through the 3G pipe, some of the more chatty among us may find that 3G isn’t just fast — it’s non-user-replaceable-battery draining fast!
Don’t care as much about [...]
Civilizations rose and fell. Rivers carved canyons. Stars twinkled into existence, then died. All this while we waited for iPhone 2.0 and the App Store. If you were lucky enough to upgrade your iPhone 2G to 2.0 or have a newly-acquired iPhone 3G, and you have upgraded to iTunes 7, you now have access to the [...]
With the second coming of the iPhone at our doorsteps (3G for those of you living in a cave), there has been an intriguing amount of comparison between the “old” iPhone 2G and the shiny new 3G Wonder. The coming of 2.0 and the App Store has everyone a-twitter, but lest we forget, there are [...]

The iPhone 3G is SOOOOO close, I can practically taste the doubled speed, GPS and iPhone 2.0-and-web apps sweetness! It’s hard to believe that it’s already been over a year since I held the object of my obsession (a.k.a. iPhone 2G) for the first time in the Apple Store. Now, my still-gleaming 2G is about [...]
Although the current iPhone does many things, it does fall short in some glaring ways. Managing tasks, for example, has been discussed both in forums and in TiPB podcasts. Perhaps Apple refuses to provide a means of managing tasks because they believe an iPhone user will have little time left for anything else in life [...]
Is there an iPhone on Mars? No, not exactly. Nor have we found little green men on Mars, either. Although if we did, would they be toting iPhone 3Gs? If it were up to Jobs they would (how ’bout a game of Interstellar Risk, Rene?). Unless you’ve been living in a cave (a la Bin [...]
Time. There’s never enough of it, we’re always running out of it, we can’t make more of it, and we spend loads of cash on devices to help us manage it. How often do you use your iPhone to help you manage your time better? Sure, there’s a calendar. But what about the Clock app? [...]
Hold +, and press Right, Right, Left, Left, 2, 2. Do this quickly. Oh, and by the way, do this at the “Chapter Select” screen. Sounds simple enough, right? What does this mean, anyway? A new dance step? Marching orders? Or a way to unleash your weapons mojo playing Call of Duty 3 on your [...]
How many times has Elizabeth Taylor been married? Where was Planet of the Apes filmed? Is Harrison Ford really turning 66 this year? Indy is a senior citizen?? These are the kinds of questions (and more) that can be answered using the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com). If there is something you want to know about your [...]
One huge benefit of the iPhone’s superb web browser are all the web applications that have sprouted up since the iPhone’s release. Just like in Field of Dreams, if you build it, they (developers) will come. Among the plethora of web apps available, several social networking sites have popped up and this week’s Tip is [...]
Can your iPhone be an electronic wallet? Maybe you are one of THOSE people that carries a massive, 2-inch-thick wallet stuffed with numerous credit cards, membership cards, fast-food punch cards, license, insurance card, etc. What if you could carry your iPhone instead of your wallet? Read this week’s Tip to find out how!

The iPhone Blog merged with the Phone different site in May of 2008. Both sites were founded on a premise that comes one from one of Apple's old slogans: Think different. The iPhone Blog: for people who dare to phone different.
