Cell Phones Service & Reliability Survey 2009

PC Mag's Sascha Segan reports:

Like the dude, our readers' love affair with the Apple iPhone abides, as it was the only phone brand they rated significantly better than average, making it the clear Readers' Choice with a SBA 9.0 out of 10. Amusingly, the iPhone's overall score went up between 2008 and 2009 even though individual ratings for coverage, call quality, and sound quality all went down! The iPhone didn't rate spectacularly as a phone, but it received great scores as a messaging device, music player, video player, and gaming device.

iGmail, A Native Gmail App For The iPhone Now Available In The App Store

iPhoneFreak's Robert Nelson reports:

I hit up the App Store yesterday in search of the name of a push notification app for Gmail, and naturally I did a search for Gmail. Well to my surprise, there was an app that appears to have been recently (August 24, 2009) released called iGmail. Of course, this is not what I was looking for, but instead something that I found to be a little more interesting — it is actually a native Gmail app for the iPhone.
