In the ever-expanding iPhone app store, there are some helpful, fun and downright awesome sources of information and entertainment. That said, every so often an app shows up that makes us wonder what the hell the people at Apple were thinking (if they were, in fact, thinking when they approved it). We are speaking, of course, about the now infamous 'Baby Shaker' app that went on sale Monday, ...
'Tap Tap Revenge,' an iPhone and iPod Touch game with a similar style of play to 'Dance Dance Revolution' and 'Guitar Hero,' has become the most installed app on the two Apple devices, attracting millions of downloads, according to comScore. This week, Tapulous, the makers of the commute-killing masterpiece, released its latest 'Tap Tap' iPhone app - 'Tap Tap Revenge Coldplay.' For this ...
Most of us reacted with a mixture of relief and awe when we first heard about Captain Chesley Sullenberger III's deft landing of the bird-stricken US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. If you've ever wondered how you'd have fared in the pilot's seat that day, then check out the most recent iPhone/iPod touch app from Laminar Research, which, believe it or not, is the ...
If you're anything like us, you love using any application on your iPhone that makes use of the phone's innovative accelerometer (we love Urbanspoon even when we're not hungry). The people over at Dockers San Francisco obviously love it too because they have launched what they believe to be the first 'shakeable' ad. The ad stars Dufon, a dancer from the Seattle group "Circle of Fire," and will ...
Craigslist devotees can now take the popular Web site to the streets, as Next Mobile Web has recently released its Craigsphone app for the iPhone. The app lets you browse and post to Craigslist, but it also enables other nifty features such as "Stuff Nearby," which lets you view postings close to your phone's GPS location (currently San Francisco Bay area and Manhattan only). Miss a connection ...
We knew Orb was working on an iPhone port of its media-streaming app, and it looks like Orb 2.0 just stealthily went live in the App Store. The $10 app lets TV junkies watch live TV from a tuner connected to a Windows PC, as well as stream music, videos, and photos from their libraries. Even cooler, Orb allows you to monitor a Webcam, so you can finally nail those Diet Coke thieves from the ...
Smartphones are getting cheaper and cheaper every day, with the simple ones like Palm's Centro available for well under $100 now, and the fancier new ones like the Apple iPhone or Android-toting G1 for well under $200. Yes, that's not exactly loose change for most, but did you know that today's intelligent handsets might just help you save some money in the long run? The idea is that an ...
Michelin guides, the oldest and most illustrious European hotel and restaurant guide, has finally arrived on the mobile Internet scene. Mobile Michelin guides will partner with "jet set" mobile content provider Ubi Ubi to provide the latest reviews of restaurants in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. The Mobile Internet restaurant guides are online now at www.ubiubi.mobi and ...
A new application available from the iTunes App Store promises to turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a powerful tool. DataCase transforms your Apple mobile device into a wireless networked hard drive that can be accessed from any Wi-Fi equipped computer, whether it runs OS X, Windows, or Linux. DataCase is $6.99 and, once activated, allows other PCs on your wireless network to access two ...
And you thought everything was going to High Def in a handbasket? Here's more evidence we live in a lo-fi world: a more YouTube-capable experience is out from Helio, maker of the Ocean, an already cool mobile communications device (the word "phone" just doesn't cut it) that provides video, GPS and a whole slew of other features in addition to making calls.
Many mobile phones already let you ...
Google aficionados who are lucky enough (or dumb enough, depending on your perspective) to own an iPhone can finally stop complaining about uneven functionality with that search giant's apps: In addition to releasing yesterday's Gmail upgrade, the company created an iPhone-specific version of its home page and related services. The new page offers easy-to-access tabs for many Google services, ...
Facebook is definitely encroaching on MySpace's space, if yesterday's Microsoft/Facebook news is any indication, but the formerly student-only social networking site is busy going after another sophisticated, most-likely-well-educated, professional, or at least famous crowd -- the BlackBerry set. Need proof? Look no further than the new mobile Facebook application for BlackBerry from Research ...
This one is for the love lorn in our audience. PlayerBlock is a new text messaging service that aims to let you avoid the hassle of dealing with that predatory, promiscuous menace of the dating world -- the player. For some people, the hassle of dating and weeding out the womanizing, lying, and just plain undesirable is just a bit to much. So Global SMS, the company behind PlayerBlock, is ...
