The Apple iPhone have been a phenomenon of sorts, in the smartphone sector. The tremendous appeal and consumer satisfaction that the product delivers have compelled the world’s largest CDMA network service providers, to propel their attention towards the iPhone.

The Verizon 4G integration
The prospects of such an agreement between Apple and the CDMA network carriers have been bolstered, by the recent announcement of Verizon 4G powered iPhones, which would be hitting the stands soon.

A chink in the iPhone armor had surfaced in the first two days of the New Year, when its alarm that was being used in the 'one-time' mode failed to go off.

The glitch caught many of its users napping overtime and made them late to proceed with their daily chores.

The alarm bug
The bone of contention was that, the phone was being used in the 'one time' mode instead of the recurring mode.

Some blogs posted by the users stated that, the iPhone 4 and the older iPhone models upgraded with the latest iOS 4.0 software were the ones to be bugged.

There seems to be an endless quest for innovative applications in the iPhone platform.

On this New Year’s Eve, Apple didn’t want to miss seizing the opportunity to develop its applications base further. This effort of theirs was apparently directed towards ending the eventful year on a high note.

The app
The application named 'Party Tricks: The Ultimate Entertaining Guide' offers a collection of recipes bound to please the gourmands, among the Apple user base. The application has been priced at $ 1.99.
