Just saw this on Venturebeat. Seem the rumor mill is putting the release of the Verizon iphone at Feb3. Makes sense. Supporting the rumor is the fact that Apple has blacked out vacation days between the 3rd and 6th and that Verizon normally launches on a Thursday. Also, I have not heard anything making me… Read More

Well, since I run SBSettings I can monitor the memory usage of the phone, kinda of like task manager from… Read More
Word Lens just came out today and the buzz is pretty crazy. The fact it was on CNN could have something to do with it. The app is pretty darn sweet, much like PicTranslator except it works with live video. In other words as you look at the text on your phone, the letters are… Read More

Apple removes killswitch API, perhaps because it may not work, not because of the Copyright Office ruling.… Read More
So I was recently exposed to the post Augmented Reality Finds a Place to Fit: Shopping! The article states, “Two recent AR implementations show promise, however, by adding value and actually demonstrating how useful the technology can be.” The author of the post is referring to Converse’s Sampler application for AppleiOS devices and a TryOnBathingSuit… Read More
Verizon is looking to have an exclusive deal with Apple just as AT&T does. From a business perspective, this is pretty smart for Verizon because they can claim the first 4G phone.

Based on his post,… Read More
This is cool. Nothing new as far as technology, but finding hidden places; like less know beaches or a small store or other lessor know gem can be hard, so the application of a virtual tour guild would be pretty useful here. It’s hitting the apple store Dec 8, just in time for the Hawaii… Read More

It’s web2.0 time again and again, my iphone will be challenged to stay alive as I use it for everything including tethering when I lose interwebs. EVERY conference I got the wifi dies at some point. Anyway, I have a spare battery I carry around, but it’s a bit annoying, so this week I tried… Read More
This has been around for along time, but for some reason I have not got around to writing about it. Its a jailbreak app of course. I used to have it running last year and simply forgot about it (it could have been named something else back then). Lately I have been pulling old jams… Read More
