Alarm Clock Pro iPhone App
iPhone App: Alarm Clock Pro by iHandySoft Inc.
Works like a charm, it’s loud enough to actually wake me up from a sound sleep. The display is large enough to see in the dark without my glasses.
The new pro version has a flashlight feature built-in; just shake your iPhone to turn it [...]
iPad April 3rd
I saw my first TV advertisement for the iPad during the Academy Awards Sunday night. Apple’s sure got their timing right, but I’ve heard there’s a delay in shipping the tablet.
Apple’s YouTube video says the release date is April 3rd, which is the word across the web.
The Wi-Fi version ships first, followed [...]
Digital Decade to Connected Community
I heard this on a TV commercial and thought it worthy of repeating. It just stuck in my head.
“We’ve left the digital decade behind, and now we’re moving into the era of the connected community.”
So what does that mean? Well, often I have to look back at where I’ve been, in order to [...]

NBC Olympics iPhone App
I just installed the NBC Olympics app on my iPhone. It looks like a great way to keep up with 2600 athletes and 82 countries competing in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
The app opens to a landing page with top stories, featured videos, medal count, photos, and Team USA’s Twitter stream. [...]
Type n Walk
It was one of those moments that make you laugh out loud.
Today I made this observation about teenagers at the mall;

Wouldn’t it be cool if [...]
iPhone 3G
I just got an iPhone by taking advantage of AT&T’s $99 upgrade option. And why not? They’ve been taking advantage of me for years, at 45 cents a minute!
Apple has announced their new iPad, and I’m just now getting an iPhone. But isn’t that the way it is? How many of [...]
