TRVL Magazine iPad App Review – Picture Perfect

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Not every publication specifically launched for the iPad has a huge, international corporation behind it, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worthy of attention.  As it’s created by just two people, TRVL Magazine falls neatly into that category and is, as the name suggests, a travel magazine. Except that it’s not a magazine in the traditional

Gumdrop Surf Slider iPhone 4 Case Review and Video

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Slider cases were at the center of the recent controversy surrounding cracked and shattered glass rear panels on iPhone 4s.  Hard Candy’s Tim Hickman claimed the whole thing wasn’t a problem, saying that his company had shipped more than 20,000 cases and hadn’t had a single related complaint.  He added that if there was a

One Week On, How’s Life with iOS 4.2?

Monday, November 29th, 2010

The latest firmware update has been out for a week now, giving everyone the chance to update their iPhones and iPads and give it a sensible workout.  A review is therefore superfluous, however we would love to talk over how beneficial the update has been for you. My experience has been like this.  On the iPhone,

The Return of the iPad Orientation Lock Switch

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

If you’re already missing the handy orientation lock switch on your iPad, something that was converted into a considerably less-useful mute switch with iOS 4.2, then the jailbreak community has the answer. Head over to the Cydia store and look for a plug-in called NoMute inside the BigBoss repository, install it, and your magical tablet will

Apple iPhone 4 Bumper Case Review and Video

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

For something as humble as a mobile phone case, the Bumper has had more than its fair share of attention since its launch.  It’s the ‘official’ case for the Apple iPhone 4 and was announced at the very same event as the phone, seemingly unaware of what was to come.  When the ‘death grip’ scandal

Virgin to Announce iPad-Only Magazine

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Rupert Murdoch isn’t the only man planning to launch an iPad/tablet-only publication, as billionaire Virgin boss Richard Branson is also expected to unveil one too.  Called simply ‘project’ at the moment, Branson’s take will go down the magazine-route and we would imagine it will be monthly rather than daily. Selected members of the press have been

EA Mobile have teased us with three new screens from the first Reckless Racing update.  The first screen shows Granny, one of the two new car and driver match-ups, and she drives a mean-looking monster truck!  The other two shots show off the Frozen Lake circuit which looks every bit as much fun as it
