Top Flash-Enabled Browsers for the iPhone
Some people claim that because the iPhone doesn't support Flash, you can't get the full Internet on it. But with these apps - all of which claim to bring Flash to the iPhone - that's no longer true.

About.com


From Fred Zahradnik, your About Electronics & Gadgets Editor
Since I have literally dozens of passwords to keep track of, I'm a dedicated fan of secure log-in management software. My personal favorite is 1Password for the Mac, but this week, Mobile Office guide Melanie Pinola goes in-depth, comparing five top password managers. Also this week, possible GPS and navigation features of the upcoming iPhone 5, best of the home theater expo, and more.

The question is, which e-reader represents the best choice for someone looking for a device in this class...Read more

iPhone 5 GPS and Navigation - What's in Store?
There's plenty of speculation about the features of Apple's upcoming iPhone 5, but since the iPhone 5 will run on the already-announced iOS5 operating system, there is a lot we already know. Much more of an unknown - until Apple unveils the iPhone 5 sometime later in September or early October - is the hardware side of the iPhone 5.Read more
