Best iPhone 2.0 Applications: Pandora

I’ve been digging into all the new iPhone apps I can get my hands on (mostly free apps, although I have grabbed a few for $$$) and I have some observations about the clear winners out there that every iPhone owner should have on his/her phone, as well as what you should avoid. So, I’m [...]

Posting from the new WordPress App for iPhone

Wow. This is pretty cool Wish it worked in landscape mode, too. I can even add live pictures from the camera or my photo library. Check out these screenshots of the app in action.

iPhone 3G or stick with the first gen?

What would Shakespeare (*) do?
To 3G or not to 3G: that is the question.
Whether ’tis nobler after July 11th to suffer
The contracts and entrapments of outrageous carriers,
Or to take arms against locked platforms,
And by jailbreaking end them?
Seriously, though, with a free update to iPhone 2.0 software around the corner for all current iPhone (*) owners [...]

Record Video with your iPhone

So if you’ve done all the fun stuff, like install Installer.app on your iPhone, you can now record video on it. The video tends to look and sound like this:

Bad news: the app found here isn’t freeware, so you’ll have to spend some $$$ on it if you want to keep using it. Also, the [...]

iPhone SDK

I’m downloading the iPhone SDK (*) right now. I was swamped today and barely got to follow any of today’s news, but I did get a few updates throughout the day from the tech Guides on Mahalo helping build the iPhone SDK (*)-related pages and from watching all the twitters floating past from friends and [...]

On portability: thinking about the perfect gadget

I’ve always thought about what my perfect gadget would be, and I think we’re getting closer and closer to it, simply because I have several devices now which approach the ideal.
So here are the things needed for a perfect gadget:
