Macworld.com - For personal organization, Apple has focused on the basics with its Address Book and iCal programs, which are included with Mac OS X. These are fine light-duty programs, but they lack power for anything more than simple contact and calendar management. Chronos's SOHO Organizer 7.0.2 suite provides a feature-rich alternative that will appeal to business and power users for whom Apple's offerings are insufficiently powerful or versatile.

Macworld.com - One of my favorite things about the iPhone is the unlimited data plan I get from AT&T. Even with the mediocre EDGE speeds I get on the current iPhone, unlimited data means that I can read all the emails, view all the web pages, and play all the games I want on the cellular network. So, I was very disappointed to see that not all countries getting the iPhone on July 11 will have this option.
