Looking for some good iPhone blogs where you can read more about your favorite mobile device? I thought I’d put together this list of my top 5 favorite iPhone blogs — in no particular order — for your reading pleasure:
Just wanted to mention that because of a server failure at my web host, HostGator, I’ve lost my two latest articles: 5 iPhone Blogs I Recommend and the April Fools joke I posted yesterday, BREAKING: FCC to Issue iPhone Ban in the US — Yes, it was a joke, no need to panic! 
Update: The articles have been republished. Thanks to those subscribers who e-mailed them to me.
iPhone owners in the United States may have their devices recalled come June due to a Federal Communications Commission ban on the iPhone, which is reportedly in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act requiring mobile devices to comply with a cap on dangerous radiofrequency energy emissions.
An FCC investigation found that the iPhone emits a “substantial level of RF energy, well in excess of what federal regulations allow,” according to the FCC report.
SMS Preview — the iPhone feature that interrupts what you’re doing to display an excerpt of an incoming text message on your screen — has been a privacy concern of mine since the iPhone was released last June. Now RiP Dev, a third-party development team, has released a solution.
Last August I published an article detailing my initial iPhone Jailbreak experience. At the time, Jailbreak was a time-consuming process, so I did it once but gave up on it after restoring my iPhone to install a new firmware update. Now there’s a much easier way to Jailbreak your iPhone — using ZiPhone — and it requires no more than 1 measly minute of your time.
ZiPhone’s Jailbreak method is fool-proof. Don’t believe me? Watch this video of a caveman I caught using ZiPhone to Jailbreak my iPhone:
Now that you’ve seen how easy it is to Jailbreak an iPhone with ZiPhone, you can do it yourself in 3 easy steps:
I have a serious concern about the upcoming iPhone App Store that no one has addressed yet:
What happens when Apple issues an iPhone firmware update introducing features from a 3rd-party iPhone application in the App Store?
For example: let’s say a developer lists a Voice Dialing application in the App Store in June, and in July Apple issues an iPhone firmware update featuring voice dial functionality.
In my iPhone review last June, I pointed out a big privacy concern I had about iPhone’s SMS application: namely, the inability to turn off SMS Preview, which interrupts whatever you’re doing when you receive a text message and displays an excerpt of the message content on your screen.
As you can imagine, this can create an awkward situation when you receive a private text message and someone else is using your iPhone.
Soon Apple will release its much talked about iPhone SDK for developers to build native iPhone applications that run on non-Jailbroken iPhones.
So what third-party iPhone apps are you hoping to see developed?
