Apple Releases Podcast App

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:29:43 -0700

I love my iPhone and iPad and when I'm not listening to Howard Stern, I'm listening to an MMA podcast or Joe Rogan. I'm not sure why Apple would release a podcast specific app except for having a way to browse and subscribe in app. Check it out.

GoPad Lets You Use Your Tablet Computer When You Walk?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:18:29 -0700

I use my iPad so much that I actually was hoping something like this existed. If you're like me and think that this is a good idea, you might need to spend some time away from all of your computing devices and go outside in the sun. The GoPad is currently priced at $89 for the iPad 2.

iPhone/iPad Review - Tiny Tower

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 23:12:20 -0700

In one sentence all I can say is that I've been playing Tiny Tower on both my iPhone and iPad nonstop since I downloaded it. Similar to games like Zynga's Cityville, your goal is to develop and design a tower and keep your residents both employed and happy. It's a simple premise but what makes the game fun is the small touches like their humorous in game parody of Facebook. If you're a Sim game fan, you'll enjoy Tiny Tower, a game that's stripped down to some simple but fun gameplay.

The WakeMate - The Best Way To Wake Up?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 01:26:33 -0700

I've looked at the iPhone apps that wake you depending on your sleep cycle but they all seemed flawed. Some will use the iPhone's internal motion sensors to monitor how you sleep but what if you sleep with someone else. Or what if your dog or cat jumps on the bed? These are all factors that can throw off the current slew of sleep monitoring alarms. WakeMate solves these problems by giving you a wristband that monitors how you sleep. You can view your sleep patterns on their website for those of you who want to micromanage your sleep. The WakeMate works with any iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android or Blackberry and goes for $59.99 on their website.

iPads Purchased in the Last 2 Weeks Eligible For $100 Refund

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:03:07 -0700

I can imagine all the people who just bought an original iPad cursing the announcement of the newer iPad 2. Fortunately, if you purchased your iPad in the last 2 weeks, you're eligible for a $100 refund. Now personally I would probably just return it and wait a few weeks but if you still want to keep it you should hurry over to an Apple store with your original receipt and request your refund which should take around 2 weeks.

Apple Announces iPad 2 - I Want One!!!

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 22:07:45 -0700

Steve Jobs actually made an appearance to introduce the new iPad 2. It adds a lot of things I want but I still wish that the display would go out to the edge of the iPad. Still, it adds front and rear facing cameras and a faster processor so I want one now.

Skyfire Mobile Browser Offers Flash?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 22:29:32 -0700

Finally, a browser for your iPhone or Android that can support Flash! Skyfire was released, pulled and is now back in the iTunes store for $2.99 promising what we've all been waiting for, Flash animation and movies. But before you get too excited, it doesn't support all flash web sites and Hulu blocks it. Hopefully all the money they made will allow them to improve their browser until it's fully functioning.

New iPad, iPhone and iPod around the corner?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:24:28 -0700

Several sources as saying that Apple is going to release a smaller iPad, new iPod and a revised iPhone as soon as the end of the year but more likely early next year. So far I'm holding off on the iPhone 4 and the iPad until the phone's reception gets fixed and the iPad offers a screen that goes to the outside edges of the device, a front and rear camera.

Gizmodo Has the new iPhone

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 13:20:50 -0700

I hope Gizmodo and Apple are in on this "leak" of the new iPhone because if it truly was lost or stolen, someone from Apple is going to be out of a job. Anyway, it shows a promising new iPhone with a front mounted camera for chat and also a flash! Other improvements are higher resolution, secondary mic for noise cancellation and different materials. Of course since this is just a prototype anything could change but it sure makes me curious about what Apple has in store for us.

New iPhone OS 3.2 Supports Video Calling?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:14:37 -0700

You can never tell what changes will be included until the new iPhone/iPad OS comes out but Gizmodo says that there might be video calling and file downloads. I'm not sure what good video calling will be with the camera on the other side of my iPhone but we'll have to wait to see what they're planning. (source - Gizmodo)

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars Now on iPhone!

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:08:46 -0700

It's about time that Rockstar Games released their popular Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars game for the iPhone! For those wanting a Grand Theft Auto experience on their iPhone or iPod Touch (there is no such thing as an iTouch) they would've had to get Gameloft's Gangstar West Coast Hustle game. But Rockstar was patient and let another company test the waters before they committed with what looks like a faithful reproduction of the game they originally released for the Nintendo DS system. It now sells for $9.99 at the iTunes store.

The OWLE Improves Your iPhone Video

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:32:50 -0700

The OWLE iPhone Video/Audio rig helps improve the quality of any video and audio you take with your iPhone but is this worthwhile or ridiculous? At $130, it's not exactly an impulse buy but with the a nice wide-angle lens and quality aluminum construction, this looks like it will definitely be worth it for anyone (if there is anyone out there) who uses their iPhone for a lot of video.

WakeMate for the iPhone - Micro Manage Your Sleep and Wake Up Time

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:19:30 -0700

WakeMate is a device that connects to your iPhone through Bluetooth that helps wake you up at the optimal point in your sleep cycle. I hate waking up and I'm definitely a night owl so anything that can help me wake up easier sounds awesome! The WakeMate also analyzes how you sleep so you OCD, micro-managers can obsess over your sleep data. It's only $49 so it's not outrageously expensive. If you want one they should come out at the end of January, 2010.

Too expensive and too heavy but very cool!
