I’m not going to review the phone because enough reviews are out there already, and I’m not really sure repeating the same things over and over again will help anyone, or make an article that’s worth reading. Rather I’ll just bullet out some quick personal notes about the device I didn’t see in to0 many (…)

How many times have you been stuck at an airport, with nothing to do but regret not downloading that movie or album before you left home. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been in that situation a number of times. Rushing out of the house, I’ll forget to load up my iPhone (or iPad (…)

So I did it. I went out today and I picked up the much hyped iPad. The lines weren’t all too bad, but I didn’t come off without a story completely. I woke up way too early and got to Best Buy before anyone else was even thinking about going. I quickly realized going there (…)

The concept of recording your location isn’t exactly groundbreaking. Some services, such as Loopt, have been around since 2005. What is new is taking that information and turning into an engaging game within any city. With the addition of achievements and prizes, a person “checking-in” as it’s known within these apps, now has incentives. There (…)

Earlier this week the iPhone received a much anticipated app that I had to try out, SlingPlayer Mobile. My history with Sling Media spans a few years now having bought my SlingBox, the AV model, around two years ago and have never really found a use for it besides a paperweight or a nice decretive (…)

As you might know by now, I have an iPhone. I purchased it in July of ’08, around the time they where released. Until recently, I hadn’t ran into too many issues. About a week ago the sleep/wake button (the only button on the top of the phone) started to flake out on me. It (…)

Cut/Copy/Paste The long awaited feature is finally coming to the iPhone. It will be supported across all applications and works as expected. The most (…)

Today at 10am Pacific time (1pm here in Ohio) Apple will be announcing a new firmware version for the iPhone. According to Kevin Rose’s Facebook post, it will include Cut/Copy/Paste support along with MMS support. Huge news for all the iPhone people out there. Also there are rumors that to better compete with the Palm Pre they (…)

You might remember two days ago I promised a kindle iPhone app review once I return from this trip (a cruise to the caribbean for spring break, yea be jealous). To handle the massive strain I’m about to throw at my iPhone’s already bleak battery, I picked up the Incase Power SliderCase at the local Best Buy. (…)

Today Amazon.com released the kindle application for the iPhone. What sets this application apart from other eBook apps and scribd.com’s mobile site is yet to be determined, but I will be sure to put a book on it and give you a review as soon as possible.  I like the idea of Amazon taking their (…)
