My iPhone home screen apps

I just (finally) upgraded my iPhone OS to the new 3.0 and thought this might be a good opportunity to go over some of the apps that I keep on my iPhone’s home screen. I won’t deal with the native iPhone apps, just the third-party gems that I can’t function without. (All application links go [...]

An iPhone upgrade rant

Are you upset at AT&T’s iPhone upgrade pricing? Do you own an iPhone 3G and now you’re stuck in a 2-year contract with AT&T? Do you think AT&T is being unfair because they won’t let you upgrade your phone for the same price as a new customer? Well you’re not alone. There are a lot [...]

However, this also means that the Twitter [...]

Exporting your stuff from Evernote

I really like Evernote. I suggest it to a lot of people, especially anyone who owns an iPhone. Evernote makes it so easy to take a picture, write a note, or record some audio on your iPhone and retreive it later on your Mac, PC, or even online. This has so many potential uses from [...]
