Happy Super Bowl Sunday to all of the NFL fans out there. Who are you picking? Cards or Steelers? It’s a tough call for me, as the two teams are actually both favorites of mine. But if I had to make a pick and call the score… I’ll take the Steelers 33-17. Part of me…
Adobe Still Working Hard on Flash for the iPhone
If you’ve been waiting and waiting for Flash to hit the iPhone, you’re not alone. Over the past few days however, some promising words have come out of the mouth of Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen. In an inverview with Bloomberg Television, he noted: “It’s a hard technical challenge, and that’s part of the reason Apple…
Duck Hunt Removed From the App Store at Nintendo’s Request
Anyone that knows me, knows that I love the classic gaming scene. I’ve got my Wii full to the brim with old NES, Super NES, NEO GEO, Sega Genesis games and more. Some of those classic games never get old (for me anyway). Perhaps that’s why when I heard ‘Duck Hunt’ was available for the…
Paragon releases Van Dale Dutch dictionaries for the iPhone
Paragon keeps adding new dictionaries to the AppStore. This time their “partner in crime” is Van Dale, the prominent publisher of quality dictionaries in the Netherlands and Belgium. As a result, three dictionaries are now available in the AppStore – Van Dale Dutch-English & English-Dutch Dictionary, Van Dale Dutch-French & French-Dutch Dictionary, and Van Dale…
Beer O’Clock iPhone app will rock your weekend!
It’s Saturday, hence I’ll take the opportunity to rant about a neat, yet quite useless iPhone app called Beer O’Clock. This one’s definitely not designed to increase your productivity — rather it’s made to remind you how much time is left till your next beer. Hmm, in that sense it can actually do something to…
New Solar Charger for iPhone
There are plenty of generic solar chargers for all mobile phones available, but few designed specifically for the iPhone. Here’s a new one from SolLight: the SOLiCharger, going for $39.95. Four hours of direct sunlight will charge your phone, but you can also power it up via USB. This thing looks like a nice, compact…
iPhone Games Going Premium?
Rumour has it Apple will open up the iPhone App Store to games costing around $19.99, but only for big name publishers, like GameLoft and EA. Such a price point would end up competing with Nintendo DS and lower-end PSP titles. That’s quite an ambitious move, one that would require developers to really throw their…
US wireless carriers dropping the ball on 3G data network performance
Add another strike to AT&T’s list of 3G-related complaints. A new study from Gartner attacks US wireless carriers for failing to make good on their promises of delivering “high-speed” wireless data through their respective 3G networks. The Big Four (AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile) all failed to meet their advertised mobile “broadband” speeds. The…
AT&T posts lackluster Q4 2008 financials despite iPhone 3G successes
The iPhone 3G has been a boon for the second-largest US wireless carrier. With over 4.3 million iPhone 3G activations since it’s launch, the iPhone 3G has brought in more than its fair share of subscribers and new revenue to AT&T coffers. Unfortunately, even the 1.9 million iPhone 3G activations that AT&T pushed through in…
Apple sued over misleading iPhone 3G data performance
Apple is being sued yet again by an irate iPhone 3G owner in Northern California. Disgruntled iPhone 3G user Jason Medway filed a 14-page suit that includes himself and all iPhone 3G owners in California as part of complaint. In the suit, Medway alleges that Apple has continued to push iPhone 3G sales with the…
