The coming of iPhone 3.0 apps

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The iPhone 3.0 is a mere four months away and the recent announcements have made everyone drool over copy and paste and enhanced Google Maps.  But knowing these new features, we can start to imagine what our current favorite apps could look like. Last.fm - With the iPhone 3.0, apps will ...

Favorite iPhone apps revisited

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Back in August 2008, a mere month after the iPhone was released, I published my list of apps that I used.  I had quite a list back then and still have the personal rule that I won't have more than 4 pages of apps since it's too hard to find ...

Mophie Juicepack iPhone 3G charger

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Around the beginning of November, many months after being frustrated by the iPhone's anemic battery life, I was introduced to the Mophie Juicepack.  The price at that time, as now, was $99, which was too much for my wallet to bear.  I continued to suffer through remembering to carry an ...

The iPhone Next Generation

Friday, November 28th, 2008

As much as we love and hate our iPhones, there are things the next version of the hardware must improve upon in order to evolve the platform.  Other than the 3G issues and crashes, which I believe will eventually be solved by an updated firmware and better software QA, there ...

iPhone photo management

Friday, November 7th, 2008

The iPhone's camera, while far from being the best way to capture the moment, is certainly the most convenient.  For those of us who have an iPhone, we always have it with us.  Surely there are little issues with it that will taint the experience, like how long it takes ...

Things that Twinkle can improve

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

The iPhone app Twinkle is a real favorite of mine.  It lets me have presence at all times like an AIM or Yahoo Messenger client, but it's location awareness gives it another level of interaction.  Like any application, its users are left wanting a little more goodness.  Here are a ...

5 Things I Hate About the iPhone 3G

Friday, September 12th, 2008

The iPhone is a wonderful gadget, but while there are things we love, there are things we will undoubtedly hate about it. Argh! Where is my charger?!? And why doesn't my old charger work? Power is a real problem with the iPhone 3G.  I find myself charging the unit overnight every day.  ...

5 Things I Love About iPhone 3G

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Style There's one thing that Apple has that the LGs and Nokias of the world don't have, and that's style. As soon as the iPhone 3G arrived, a raft of immitators showed up in it's wake. I won't rehash the reviews others have made, but it's enough to say that the ...

The iPhone as an eBook reader

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

One of the things I was originally disappointed in with the iPhone was its inability to use the vast 16GB of space I had as a mounted disk, as I could previously with my iPod nano. I was still able to browse the web for PDFs, which was pretty cool, ...

Dealing with the iPhone 3G and iTunes 7.7.1 disappearing media bug

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

After being told by a friend of their frustrations with their iPhone 3G and the disappearing media when using iTunes 7.7.1, I myself was hit with the bug.  I think they jinxed me with Schroedinger's iPhone bug:  once I knew about it, I was sure to come across it myself.  ...
