Among the topics were Adobe and the Nexus One, which apparently both have Jobs more than a little riled.

But not, it would seem, the small matter of a year old glitch which could turn your iPhone into a spyPhone.

| | Yes there are 100,000 or so apps for the iPhone, but thanks to Apple policy if it's porn you are after there's not an app for that. The construction of an Adult App Store for Android devices, however, could soon swing this particular market segment towards the iPhone competitor. The … |

| | I suppose it had to happen. [URL="http://www.apple.com"]Apple[/URL] was rumoured to be launching a 'slate' computer so others including [URL="http://www.hp.com"]HP[/URL] have done so too. All of which leaves me a bit bemused. You see, I don't really know what these slate computers are for. Let's be straightforward. The first touch-sensitive laptops … |
