Comments Off on More iPhone 4 reviews for your viewing enjoyment
Walt Mossberg got a review unit? Shocking. I’ve been testing the iPhone 4 for more than a week.

Saturday, April 3, 2010
Engadget’s review of the iPad – as usual, it’s detailed, informative, and doesn’t pull any punches. Well done Mr. Topolsky. Especially impressive were their thoughts on Apple’s iBooks app: To say Apple is about to put a major dent in Kindleworld is an understatement.

Thursday, April 1, 2010
Promises of long battery life on tech devices tend to be looked at with skepticism. And rightly so.
