What’s the lamest app in the iTunes store?
We’re compiling a list of the most useless, unimaginative, and ugly applications developed for the the iPhone, and we’d like your help. Tell us your recommendation for the lamest app on iTunes in the comments – you know, the app that was a waste of time for the developer to make, for you to try, and for us to write about. There are a lot of them to go through, and the job is just too big for us to tackle on our own. Thanks! Read More
Review: The Dock Extender Cable from CableJive
There are many reasons you might want to use an extender cable to dock your iPhone or iPod – the most obvious of course being the Apple-supplied dock cable is too short for your needs. But for me a far more common issue is having an older accessory with a dock connection (speaker, car charger, stereo etc.) that I wish to to hook up my iPhone to, and it just doesn’t fit. That’s where the Dock Extender Cable comes to the rescue. Above: A thing of beauty. My 1st... Read More
Meet Hannah, the iPod touch Elf
Apple has posted a new guided tour video for the iPod touch, and I must say, the somewhat elven “Hannah” is a definite step up from both the iPhone guy and the previous iPod touch guy (I dig her pointy eyebrows and normal-sized hands.) although they all apparently shop at the same store. Read More
The Let’s Rock event : My thoughts… in pictures
Like most Apple fanboys with no self control, I was unable to wait for Apple’s keynote stream to hit the web, and instead I nearly wore out my “refresh” finger reading the Engadget and Gizmodo feeds. So, now that it is all done, and I have had 3 minutes to digest it all, how do I feel about the event? Well, let’s find out as we take a tour, via stolen borrowed pictures from Gizmodo‘s and Engadget‘s coverage of the Let’s Rock event. photo... Read More
Video: Waterproof spray-on coating for your iPhone, laptop
Probably the number one threat to iPhones is the dreaded “accidental toilet drop”. While all cell phones fear it, the iPhone is particularly at risk because users are often asked to shake the hell out of their iPhones when playing these games. It’s a recipe for “accidental toilet drop”-disaster. Well, Cape Cod-based Northwest Maritime Institute has come up with some sort of crazy high-tech, vacuum-applied spray coating for electronics that can coat... Read More
Review: iPhone stylus shoot out
Some of the more fun iPhone apps hitting the iTunes store these days are the ones like FlipBook and Scribble that let you actually draw on the iPhone’s screen using your finger. Unfortunately, even the thinnest fingers are often not the best tool for drawing on a tiny screen (and my big fat ones are definitely not). Luckily a couple companies have taken notice of the problem and have come up with some touch pen styluses that can work with Apple’s touch screens. ThinkGeek... Read More
On my iPhone: “Cannon Challenge” Reviewed
Reviewing a free app is a little silly I guess, as I should probably save myself some time and just write “I liked this, go download it yourself and see if you do too”, but what the heck – the guys over at the Discovery Channel put some effort into this, I enjoyed my time playing with it, so the least I can do is tell you guys about it. Above: It would be cool if Cannon Challenge looked like this, but it doesn’t. Like most truly enjoyable games, the... Read More
Get “I Am Rich!” for $999.99 off the cover price!
Above: I Can’t Believe It’s Not I Am Rich! Same rich, buttery taste! You snooze, you lose! To all you jealous suckers who were too slow and missed out on buying I Am Rich at the bargain price of $999.99 from the iTunes store before it was yanked, well, sucks to be you! Thanks to the invaluable secret advice I Am Rich has bestowed upon me, I am happy to say I have now quit my job, bought both the R & R railroad and the Water Works, and even built a hotel on Baltic...

Review: MotionX Poker – That’s how I roll, baby
Having found myself fully caught up in the excitement of the iTunes App store launch, I have gone on a bit of a buying spree with the iPhone apps lately, and unfortunately, I have experienced quite a bit of buyer’s remorse as well. Especially with the games. It isn’t so much that the games aren’t well made, or don’t do what they claim to, it’s just that for whatever reason, the replay value is just not there. That is why I feel compelled to tell... Read More
Magic Pad brings copy and paste to the iPhone… sort of
Brian Radmin and the gang over at Proximi have created the first Rich Text Editor for the iPhone, and it looks to give us our first real glimpse at how “copy and paste” functionality will likely work on the iPhone. MagicPad is an iPhone app (currently awaiting iTunes’ approval) that allows you much of the textual functionality of Apple’s Mail Program (the version on the Mac, not on the iPhone). You can create and save drafts of text, send that text... Read More
