I was reading an article today about a rising trend–people getting buried with their favorite technology.  Apparently people love their geeky gear SO much they don’t want to part with it once they shuffle off this mortal coil.  From the article:
“It seems that everyone under 40 who dies takes their cell phone with them,” says [...]

The first game I bought for my iPhone was Demiforce’s tour de force puzzle game, Trism.  It looked like an amazing combo of Hexic (a favorite on the XBox) and Tetris, and I’m a puzzle game addict.  After only a few games, I was hooked.  Trism is absolutely awesome.  I just got my highest score [...]

One of the apps I’ve been waiting for (not so patiently) is Pocket Informant for iPhone.  I’m a long-time PI fan from my days of using it on Windows Mobile, and I absolutely cannot wait to have it on my iPhone.  The problem is, I’m incredibly impatient.
I’m not a huge fan of the built-in iPhone [...]

A long-standing complaint from the iPhone community at large has been the lack of copy and paste functionality.  This isn’t something I run into needing too often, but I agree that it’s a super basic feature that should have been there from the start.
There have been a few attempts at a proof of concept so [...]

Ever since I got my first PDA, I have been a big fan of eBooks.  I apparently have some kind of deep-seated fear about being stuck somewhere and bored to tears, and having a small library in my pocket goes a long way towards making me feel prepared for just about anything.
So, when I was [...]

I am an avid Twitter user, so one of the first apps I downloaded onto my iPhone was Twitteriffic.  It’s a great program, but 9.99 for the Pro version seemed a little high.  It also didn’t allow me to search, follow people (or unfollow them!) from the application, track trends, or load more than a [...]
