Facebook is probably the last to have released an iPad app–for itself. Up until now, we iPad users have been settling for other applications, like Friendly Plus for Facebook. The alternatives have worked out pretty well, for the most part, but sometimes you just feel a little better about yourself when you know you’re using…
When the iPhone 4 was released last year, I was incredibly eager to get one. I didn’t even have my 3GS for more than eight or nine months, but after seeing the design and new features on the iPhone 4, I was sold. When pre-orders became available, I tried to grab one, but the constant…

The distinct design, quality materials and fluid OS just doesn’t cut it anymore in a world of 4.5-inch, 1-point-plus-gigahertz Android clones. Now that the iPhone has penetrated high and low-end markets, and has crossed most demographic lines, its saturation has…
