New Photo Sharing App ‘Color’ Out Today, Ignored Tomorrow?

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Working or spending a lot of time online makes sharing through social networking sites and apps very important, as many of the people you interact with don’t physically live anywhere near you, so if you want to share with them, you need to do it virtually. There are plenty of ways to do this and recently,

Angry Birds Rio iPhone/iPad App Review – Anger and Love Do Mix!

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Surely one of the signs you’ve ‘made it’ is being approached by a company like 20th Century Fox, who want to tie their next 3D animation film in with your mobile phone game.  We’re not talking about a long running franchise game here either, it was born with the App Store just a few years

Wave Cradle iPhone Accessory Review and Video

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Sometimes you find a product that fits a need you didn’t even know you had, and that’s exactly what the Wave Cradle has done for me.  After many months of sitting face up on my desk, my iPhone 4 now has its own pedestal in the corner, allowing me to see new messages, notifications or

Access Your Computer Remotely With These iOS Apps for iPhone and iPad

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

This article has been updated for 2011 with even more of the best apps for turning your iOS device into a remote desktop client. Originally written with the idea of using the iPhone for remote access, most of the features in these applications apply equally to iPod touch and iPad devices. If you need to access your home or office computer while you’re out and about, it’s not hard to find an app for that. Sorting through the options may take a little longer. We think some of the best remote desktop apps for iOS devices are Jugaari’s Jaadu Remote Desktop , Carter Harrison’s WinAdmin , LogMeIn’s LogMeIn Ignition , JumiTech’s JumiOne or, for customers of the KineticD backup service,  KineticExtend . All of these apps are RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) clients for your iPhone and in most ways they’re similar. The big idea is that you can use your iPhone to control your Windows PC or Mac desktop when you’re on an internal network or over the Internet.

Monster Free Apps: A Scary Good Way to Find Free Apps

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Want free apps with no strings attached ? Heck, who wouldn’t want to discover freebies in the App Store? With Monster Free Apps and their mantra “So good it’s scary,” you have the opportunity to download paid apps for free. Monster Free Apps is a free app finder that sends users push notifications to notify users when paid apps become available free for a limited time. The concept is simple – or maybe complicated if you care about the marketing strategies behind it. The bottom line though is that if you want to keep an eye on opportunities to download previously paid apps for free, then Monster Free Apps is one easy way to do it. The best part is there are typically more than just one app per day – often as many as four to choose from, ranging from games to photography and utility apps.

Wakey Wakey! Ten Alarm Apps for your iPhone

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

More people are shunning the traditional alarm clock by their bedside in favor of their mobile phone, especially when combined with a cool recharging dock to ensure your phone doesn’t run out of battery at the wrong time! While iOS has its own built-in alarm feature, the App Store is full of alarm apps, many of

iPad 2 International Launch Confirmed for 25th March

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

When ’sold out’ notices appeared in shop windows and online orders had a lead time of more than a month, it was reasonable to speculate that the iPad 2’s US launch was a success and that the international launch could have to be delayed.  After all, that’s what happened last time. However, Apple either planned for

iOS 4.3.1 Bug Fix Update About to be Released?

Monday, March 21st, 2011

We’ve only just got used to iOS 4.3, but if the rumors are to be believed we could be about to get another iOS update, possibly even as quickly as next week.  Don’t get over-excited though, this isn’t iOS 5 or even iOS 4.4, but iOS 4.3.1. As is probably obvious from the even smaller incremental

Our First Look Gameplay Video: Battle Squadron for the iPhone and iPad

Monday, March 21st, 2011

We’ve been with Cope-Com’s conversion of the Amiga classic Battle Squadron to iOS right from the start, and this weekend we were given the opportunity to join in with the beta test of the forthcoming game. I’ve seen preview videos and chatted with the development team over the last months, so I knew just how much
