How To: Install Apps on Your iPhone Easily, No Hacking Skills Required
Gizmodo reports:
If you wanted to install third-party native software in your iPhone but you didn't had the necessary technical knowledge or courage, the newly updated iPhone Installer.app will make it so easy that it will be very hard to resist. We have tried it in Mac OS X and, as you will see in the tutorial after the jump, it works perfectly —including the installation of applications over Wi-Fi and EDGE.

Hewlett-Packard Web Service To Make Document Printing Mobile
The International Herald Tribune's John Markoff reports:
Hoping to alleviate a frustration of mobile computing, Hewlett-Packard has quietly introduced a free service designed to make it possible to print documents on any printer almost anywhere in the world.
Cloudprint, which was developed over several months by a small group of HP Labs researchers, makes it possible to share, store and print documents using a mobile phone.
The service emerged as the result of a conversation begun at the laboratory this year over how the computer and printing company might benefit from the introduction of the Apple iPhone, according to Patrick Scaglia, HP's director for Internet and computing systems technologies at the research laboratory.

Businesspeople Face Steep Learning Curve With iPhone
InformationWeek's Antone Gonsalves reports:
Businesspeople and others who use their phones regularly for text messaging are likely to experience lots of frustration in using the Apple iPhone, at least in the short term, a research firm said Thursday.
A usability study conducted by research and consulting firm User Centric found that people who use QWERTY phone keyboards, a favorite among BlackBerry and Treo smartphone users, took twice as long to type the same message on an iPhone. People use to the multi-tap system on a conventional mobile phone, where a user taps a key multiple times to get the correct letter, weren't significantly faster on the iPhone.
