In a surprising twist of events, first generation iPhone sales have been on the rise ever since the new iPhone 3G was announced.

Yammer Wins TechCrunch 50 Main Prize – WTF?
Posted on11. Sep, 2008 by Aryeh.
Yammer is Twitter for companies. Can anyone please tell me why they won the main prize at TC50? I don’t see any innovation in this product at all. It is like making a new kind of coke.
Companies I did like at TC50:
Payoneer – Of course, best company ever.
Flyscreen – Go Itamar
Bojam
Otherinbox
Akoha
Any additions?
