New iPhone Stuff

Until the 3G iPhone arrives, there's plenty to do with your "old" iPhone(if you have one, of course), and one of the things you'll find yourself engaged into is updating software and getting information related to your beloved gadget (or "upcoming beloved gadget"). In the following minutes, I'll tell you about no less than 3 iPhone related news - a new iPhone version of a site, an antivirus that has become available to run on this mobile and, finally, a streamlined interface for a notorious web applications suite...


Our first stop, pictured above, is Associated Press' new version of the iPhone portal which contains AP news, as well as material from over 100 media outlets, covering a wide range of topics. The names from the list include notorious publications, such as the San Francisco Chronicle or the Miami Herald.

While the site is also available on other mobile phones with Web browsing capabilities, the iPhone edition is optimized for its display ratio, also featuring distinct navigation buttons. Just go to apnews.com and see for yourselves!

Next, it seems that, according to various reports, a new Beta version of the McAfee virus scanner for the iPhone and iPod touch has become available, under the iVirusScan banner. While McAfee confirmed this to be a genuine project, it seems that iVirusScan is not yet ready for everyone.

"We happen to be first to test AV technology for iPhone. We’re happy that iPhone users are already getting excited about it, as evidenced by your blog and the thousands of people who are trying out the application. Still, we are not ready to announce a new product, our development work is in the early stages," wrote Joris Evers, a McAfee spokesperson.

Anyway, if you feel like trying Beta software on your iPhone, you can give iVirusScan a try, but don't come here and cry something bad happened! Just be sure to backup your data, and no matter what may happen, it should be fine, all right?

At last, you should know that Google Apps got a new generalized iPhone interface, which can be visited at "http://www.google.com/m/a/your-domain.com," where "your-domain.com" should be replaced with your actual account domain. That's it, go there and enjoy it!
