iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

ZFS is an advanced file system developed by Sun that had been ported to Mac OS X and released in 2007 as an open-source project on Apple’s Mac OS Forge collaboration site. ZFS had been rumored to become the default file system for Mac OS X Leopard, but ended up appearing with only limited read-only capabilities.
Apple continued to show interest in ZFS when they included the technology in its early product description pages for Snow Leopard Server, although the information was subsequently removed from Apple’s site and support for ZFS was not included in either Snow Leopard or Snow Leopard Server upon release.
Rumor was that the lack of ZFS support in Snow Leopard was caused by licensing issues with Sun, leaving the future of ZFS uncertain; although Sun’s pending acquisition by Oracle left open the possibility that the technology could be revisited by Apple in the future. Apple’s discontinuation of the ZFS project, however, suggests that the company may have given up hope of achieving decent licensing terms for the technology, and has instead redirected its resources elsewhere.
