Apple's new iPhone 4S took it on the chin this week. Lackluster reviews, disappointed fans, a thumbs down from the stock market. The mood may have been best summed up by an editorial cartoonist, who sketched a computer user, head flung back in deep stupor, commenting about the new iPhone: "Wow, the new iPhone 4S ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The less-than-enthusiastic response is likely a result of Apple's soaring success in the last few years. The Cupertino, Calif.-based giant has had a string of home runs with its iPhone upgrades, the iPad unveiling and iPad 2 follow-up, and embellishments to its iPod line. Observers have become so accustomed to grand slams that a solo homer seems paltry in contrast.
SAN FRANCISCO - Apple fans are amped. The computer and gadget maker is expected to announce a new, more powerful version of its wildly popular smartphone this week - more than a year after it unveiled the iPhone 4. Last week, Apple Inc. emailed invitations to a media event at its headquarters in Cupertino today. The invite says "let's talk iPhone," implying the normally secretive company intends to show off the latest version of the device. In the past, Apple has typically introduced a new iPhone during the summer, but this year it was expected to hold off until the fall.
On Aug 24, 2007, less than two months after its initial release for sale, the Apple iPhone was unlocked, untethering the phones from the AT&T cellular network. Because AT&T has exclusive rights to provide coverage for the iPhone until the year 2010, hackers and computer enthusiasts worked feverishly to be the first to use the iPhone on a network other than AT&T. Once people began publishing their methods of unlocking the iPhone, AT&T sent many of them cease-and-desist letters, grounded in section 1201(a)(2) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA). Though Congress should amend the DMCA to allow consumers to unlock phones and to protect the actual unlockers, such an amendment is not the best possible solution. Instead, Congress and scholars should look to es...

Q: I love that I can record voice memos on my iPhone. It's so convenient when I have a thought or idea. Unfortunately, it's hard to figure out what's in each memo later. A lot my recordings are very long. Is there a way to record audio and have the iPhone convert it to text? A: You've hit on the benefits and drawbacks of audio recording. Fortunately, speech-to-text options do exist. Dragon Dictation is one great app that converts your speech into a text file. It is very accurate, which is good. However, to save storage space, it doesn't keep the audio recording. If you need both, look at AudioNote. It keeps the audio and makes a text file. It even links the two for later playback. You can follow the text while listening to the audio. Both of these apps are available at http://www.komand...
