On the same day I read about the possibility of the iPhone rendering Amazon's wireless reading device Kindle a white elephant, New York photographer Patrick McMullan announces the launch of a new magazine optimised especially for viewing on iPhones. Patrick McMullan, noted nightlife photographer for New York magazine among other publications, is set to launch PMc, a luxury fashion "magazine" formatted exclusively for Apple's iPhone.

If you'd pay $175 for a hamburger, then it stands to reason you'd pay $1000 for an iPhone app that does next to nothing... doesn't it? Let's face it, you'd need to have serious amounts of cash to burn before forking out $1000 for the functionless I Am Rich app, which simply displays a red gem, and is effectively only a status symbol unto itself.

Virgin have announced a 5GB of data for $100 a month plan for the iPhone in Australia. That's still very expensive compared to the data plans in the US though.

Australian task-list manager Remember The Milk has been honoured with an Apple design award for their mobile version of the app. You can imagine how hugely honoured we were when Remember The Milk for iPhone & iPod touch was named the winner in the Best iPhone Web Application category!

Top 10 Gadgets of 2007. You'll never guess what number one was. The iPhone changed the way we think about how mobile media devices should look, feel and perform.
