Full FeediPhone could overtake Symbian by 2010
Despite being relatively new to the competition, the iPhone is already a huge threat to the popular smart phone OS, Symbian. Despite the fact that Symbian has been around for about seven years, as opposed to the iPhone 3G’s two months on the market, iPhones may outnumber Symbian-powered phones in as little as two years.

Lawsuit filed over iPhone 3G performance
It looks like Apple and AT&T will have to answer to the strong hand of the law again. Seems as though some people dislike the iPhone enough to sue over it. In the latest round of iPhone lawsuits, William Gillis has filed suit against both companies, citing network performance as grounds.

Latest 10.5.5 seed shows fewer issues
Apple seems to be getting through builds of Mac OS X v10.5.5 pretty darn quick. Recent reports show that Apple has seeded two versions of the update, 9F25 and 9F29, within the last week. The same report shows that the number of fixes is rapidly decreasing, with only one remaining known bug.
The former of the two builds, 9F25, was rather insignificant, with no fixes and no known bugs. The second of the builds, in contrast, shows fixes having to do with issues with previously joined networks in AirPort, and issues with graphics frameworks. The only current known bug is an issue with searching messages in Mail.app.

New iPod or Honest Mistake?
With the Apple September 9th event around the bend, some things are almost certain, but others, not so much. Right now, we can pretty much undoubtedly say that something will happen to the iPod Nano, with a focus on design. Now that that’s all but been set in stone, lets shed a little light on some more of the September 9th possibilities.
In a recent Best Buy advertisement, something curious surfaced. The ads show what is labeled to be an iPod Touch, but looks quite different to the iPod Touch we know and love/hate. The Touch in question pretty much looks like an iPhone without the speaker at the top, same silver bezel and all. Normally, this would be water off a ducks back, but given recent speculation that September event will not only bring Nanos but Touches as well, this sends up a few more red flags then normal.
But who knows. We won’t know the exact details until Steve wants is to, and if the rumors are correct, thats only a few days away.

RelatedO2 details pay-as-you-go iPhone plans
We thought this day would never come, but the moment is upon us. O2, the sole carrier of the popular iPhone in the UK, has officially announced its new Pay-As-You-Go plan for English iPhone users.
Although you will be forking over a hefty sum for the actual device—£350 ($631) for the 8GB Model and £400 ($721) for the 16GB model—monthly costs will be reduced a fair bit. Should you choose to go the cheapest route, you will only be paying between £10 and £14 ($18 and $25) for 500 minutes that can be used to phone any UK land line or O2 cell number. One step up from that and you will be paying between £15 and £29 ($27 and $52) for 1,000 minutes, also only to land lines and O2 cells. The third and final option weighs in at £30+ ($54+), and nets you an unlimited number of calls.
