What do you do? Well, up until now, AT&T’s answer has been basically nothing. It had released zero apps taking advantage of the fast growing iPhone platform. Today, it finally got around to releasing one. AT&T myWireless Mobile (horrible name — iTunes link) is an app that does the obvious: It allows users to view and pay their wireless bills from the iPhone. You can also see Read More

Over a span of about 12 hours, we gave away hundreds and hundreds of promo codes across 50+ different iPhone applications. It was a blast, but all good things must come to an end – but it’s not over just yet. Throughout the competition, we hung on to one promo code for each app. We’ve taken all of these promo codes and put them together, forming one ridiculously huge omega-prize. One lucky person is going to take home a copy of every application we gave away that day – plus more. That’s dozens upon dozens of applications, worth hundreds of Read More

Cell Minute Tracker is an app from Pageonce that allows an iPhone user to track their usage data in an easy format right from their phone. We've all been in a pinch at one point in the time of having our phones and this application allows the user to check to see exactly how they are doing with their minutes, texting and even shows the next billing date and amount due. The app will have the user sign into their AT&T account and it automatically pulls the data right from the site onto their iPhone or even iPod Touch. The app even provides an option to pay the bill right from inside the app using a browser to sign into the AT&T payment site. This is extremely handy for quickly checking your usage on the go or just to have the option to keep tabs wherever you are. A pass code Read More

One source says that next year’s iPhone, unofficially and presumably dubbed iPhone 5, will be a It seems that Apple decided to go ahead and give the go to iOS 5.0.1 earlier than we had initially thought. Releasing today, the update brings along multiple new minor features, the most significant, however, being the highly anticipated iPhone 4S battery patch. You’ll first dive into Junk Jack without a clue of what you’re supposed to be doing – running around, tapping on random blocks.

Cell Minute Tracker monitors your AT&T minutes. On Thursday, Pageonce released a native application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that AT&T might have considered when it won the iPhone's exclusive carrier rights in the U.S. Cell Minute Tracker (99 cents) keeps tabs on your cell phone usage, data plan, rollover minutes, SMS costs, and payments on a relatively compact page that has additional features AT&T doesn't provide you on the phone. You'll need to register for a MyAccount login from AT&T.com for Cell Minute Tracker to work. The app speaks directly to AT&T's online minutes-tracking service to bring you a native experience from the iPhone, though you can certainly get the information for free by visiting AT&T's site on Safari, or by finding a shortcut to this page in the iPhone's Settings menu. What the app's nominal price point boils down to is convenience and an early warning system if Read More
