Apps in Action: Instagram and PostalPix
So, I have a confession to make. I am addicted to my iPhone camera. My husband and I have gotten really into Lomography and the toy camera movement. I’m the proud owner of a Holga 35mm and a brand new limited edition Diana F+, while he sports a SuperSampler and a Holga 120. He prefers Hipstamatic for his faux toy camera prints; but while I like Hipstamatic, I am completely hooked on Instagram. Instagram is a great little free app …

Guest Post: WRT610N Router Review
An hour with the WRT610N, or How I Finally Have Decent WiFi By Keith Shapiro Back Story Before the WRT610N, I had spent a grand total of $10 on wireless technology. If the adage is true, you can imagine that with what I’d paid for, I’d not gotten a lot. I did however, have a cheapy ZyXel P-330W wireless-G router ($10) and a D-Link Wireless-G router I got from Freecycle. The D-Link? Like every piece of D-Link equipment I’ve owned, …

24 Hours with the Dell Mini 9
Well, I have had my Dell Mini 9 for a day now, and I have to say…I think this is what love feels like. When I got to the office yesterday morning, my boss met me almost at the door with my Dell box in hand. FedEx had apparently just delivered it, and he knew how excited I was to be getting my Mini at long last. I did take some unboxing pictures, even though I was super impatient to …

My favorite tech: Apple TV + Boxee
One of my post-Christmas gift card purchases this year was a 40GB Apple TV. I wanted one for quite a while, and gift cards are the ultimate enabler! When there was no refresh for the Apple TV at MacWorld, (because who doesn’t hate buying something only for the new version to come out immediately afterward?!) I took off for the Apple Store to make my purchase. I have to say, the Apple TV is one of my favorite gadgets in …

iPhone App Review: Pocket Cocktails
So, I can kind of blame the wonderful developers of Pocket Cocktails for the hangover I had the day after my birthday. You see, Pocket Cocktails is an absolutely gorgeous drink recipe app for the iPhone. The interface is fun and retro, which is a big plus for me…but the real beauty lies in the recipes themselves. Each one features a painstakingly photographed drink to go along with the recipe, presumably so you know how the drink is supposed to …

iPhone App Review: Trism
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 tonight of almost 7 million points–I was pretty disappointed to learn that if I want to beat the highest score, I’m looking at besting someone …

iPhone App Review: Stanza
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 planning my switch over to the iPhone, one of the first things I was concerned about was the availability of a good eBook reader. …

iPhone App Review: Tweetie
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 certain number of tweets in my timeline. After that I tried Twittelator, Twinkle and TwitterFon, but none of them really did what I wanted them …
