iFiles Now iPad-compatible with MobileMe, Google Docs and Facebook Support
iFiles is one of the most popular file manager apps for iPhone. Actually, it’s more than a simple file manager: it’s a document viewer, a voice recorder, a wifi drive and a text editor. And, unlike other similar apps, it’s got a great looking icon and a clean interface design.
iFiles is one of the best executed, feature-rich productivity apps of its kind I’ve seen in the App Store. Now, it’s iPad compatible, too.
iPhone 4 Unlock Is Done, Now Waiting for Release
After weeks of hard work, the iPhone 4 has been unlocked. With a tweet sent a few minutes ago, @planetbeing confirmed that he’s now using an unlocked iPhone 4.

VentureBeat MobileBeat 2010: AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan is blasted with questions from VB Editor in Chief Matt Marshall concerning AT&T and their network.

“I’ll tell you the things it’s not been,” Donovan said. “It’s not been capital, it’s not been conviction and commitment.” AT&T “will move heaven and Earth” to meet its customers’ growing data needs, he said.
I’d be impressed if AT&T could actually move the heavens to improve reception.

Wells Fargo. The White House. And now even the Mayor of New York is touting an iPad on behalf of a paperless workflow. In fact, Mayer Bloomberg had some very positive things to say about his new work device.
