O2 has today launched a new green ranking initiative for mobile phones – but Apple has excluded its iPhones from being included in the scheme.
Run together with Forum for the Future, O2’s new green scheme ranks how environmentally friendly a handset is. Phones are scored between zero and five, depending on how green they are.
Peter Madden, chief executive of Forum for the Future, said: “Billions of people worldwide are using mobile phones to organise their lives. We want to reward manufacturers who make efforts to reduce their environmental impacts and think creatively about how their de...
There comes a time in everybody’s life when procrastination is the order of the day. Whether you should be revising, whether you’re sat in a meeting, or holed up at your desk supposedly doing overtime to earn some extra money, the iPhone is a blessed relief that means you can waste minutes or even hours doing nothing productive.

Now, it is pretty much easy to point out that the on screen virtual keyboard is fully functional, but hardly the most efficient system available. The lack of feedback from the devices (despite the audio cues) makes it difficult for...
When it comes to innovation, it is hard to question the practical approach that Apple tends to take. While they are less on experimentation and more on straightforward tech sellers, there is no doubt that the technology that the iPhone brings still has one foot outside of the box. So when there is news about the next big Apple project being related to NFC technology, one has to wonder whether this is really a good idea.
For those unfamiliar, NFC refers to near field communications which is basically allowing two devices to interact by being within a certain distance of each other. Imagine a...
In the most ironic of results, it appears that consumers actually do not mind the iAds system so much. Despite the fact that this has been made and designed to bring more advertisements to users, most of the pre-existing free app and games for the iPhone platform already contain some forms of advertisements, making the presence of additional ad content somewhat more tolerable to users.
However, it seems that advertisers are the ones who are not too keen on the iAds development system. And this time, the concern is more on the production side rather than the actual output. The reality is har...
