I originally bought a Griffin Revealcase for my iPhone. That was before Apple decided they were going to give us free cases during the ‘antennagate’ incident. (see Karthik’s review of Griffin Reveal Etch HERE) When I chose my free case, I went with the Belkin Shield Micra. So, now that I have 2 cases, instead [...]

by phorz on May 25, 2011 in Accessories
Those of us that use our iPhone (or iPod, see compatibility below) pretty much constantly throughout the day, without a way to charge midday, know that the battery life just won’t make it through a long day in the field. The Griffin Power Reserve battery is a great way to extend battery life for days [...]

Are you thinking about the holiday shopping season yet? With the Christmas Shopping List app, you can make your list, and check it twice, or two thousand times, which is more likely. I thought I would let you in on this $.99 gem before you needed it. Christmas Shopping List is a very well thought [...]

by phorz on October 15, 2010 in App Reviews, Free Apps, Lifestyle
Ever wondered what other people thought about topics of interest? Now you can know!

by phorz on October 9, 2010 in App Reviews, Healthcare & Fitness, Lifestyle, Paid Apps
Just the other day I had my one year cigarette free anniversary! I have been using Quit it – Stop Smoking to track my progress. This app doesn’t offer you much help in quitting, but what it does do is pretty neat. You can enter the date that you quit smoking in the settings, along [...]
How To Transfer Your iTunes / iDevice to a New Computer

I recently bought a new laptop so that I’m not tied down the office desk whenever I need to edit video or some of the other tasks that my iPhone either isn’t capable of performing, or isn’t efficient enough for me to use on a regular basis. I have been contemplating whether I should sync [...]

Warblade is an awesome arcade style shoot ‘em up in space game. Gameplay brings back memories from my childhood and playing Galaga. Who could put a price on a return to youth? (I realize I may be older than some readers and I’m sorry if you are not familiar with my ages old video game [...]
Pixelpipe app review. Upload HD video from your iPhone 4!
by phorz on August 22, 2010 in App Reviews, Free Apps, Lifestyle, Photography, Productivity, Social Networking, Utilities
There really is little point in having a 720p HD camcorder on your iPhone 4, if, when you upload a video, it gets compressed down to a lower quality 360p SD clip. Having a mobile device is all good an well, but it should be truely mobile. Even while you are on wifi, apple doesnt provide a [...]

Lately I haven’t had much time on a computer. I’ve been using my iPhone for pretty much everything. I’m actually writing this app review with my phone.

CardStar iPhone app review. All your loyalty cards in one place.
by phorz on July 26, 2010 in App Reviews, Free Apps, Utilities
One of the main reasons I started buying smart phones was because they are great tools for consolidating what you carry around. Before I knew the full capability, the reason why I bought my first smart phone was to get away from carrying an electronic planner and a phone. Making my pockets even less full [...]
