The iBend is a clever piece of bendable plastic that supports your iPhone or iPad in a position suitable for watching videos.  I’ve reviewed both the iPhone and iPad versions before, so was pleased to hear the company was adding an iPhone case to its list of products.

Productivity continues to be a word constantly associated with the iPad. And rightly so, its compact design, portability and robust computing power make it perfect for an everyday work or personal computer. Personally, I use it for everything, including word processor, photo library, video playback, social connection and of course my GTD mobile tablet. One productivity app I’ve enjoyed trying out is Next! by LefTurn Labs. There are several features I immediately noticed that are very useful for being productive, which include action lists, project and goal status along with search. These three items alone make this app worthwhile. Of course, there are more goodies inside that take being productive to an entirely new level. One really great feature is the ability to attach files, such as images, spreadsheets, PDFs and just about any other type of file imaginable.  Read the rest of Next!

The full title of this new game is Kyotokei – Polarity Shooter and it’s a direct port of the WiiWare game, which was itself a clone of classic shoot ‘em up Ikaruga.  The main difference is that rather than being another vertically scrolling shooter, Kyotokei scrolls sideways and enemies come at you from all sides.

What’s behind door number one? A brand new car? As the year comes to an end two things are certain. New car models are now available and it’s football season. While there are plenty of apps to get a football fix, there’s really only one that should be downloaded to check out new and used cars and that’s the  Cars.com  iPhone app.  Cars.com for iPad  is also available. How the app functions is fairly straight forward. How it does it is seems like magic. Maybe that’s a bit of a reach, but the app is a powerful search tool for new and used cars for sale nearby. Its ability to search lots around the area and compare prices of cars from the same lot is especially helpful. And I’m not just saying this. I actually have used the app. Last year around this time I downloaded the  Cars.com  app and used it to find my brand new Kia Forte.   Read the rest of Cars.com Finds New and Used Cars Nearby or discover more iPhone apps . © 2011: written by gregdawson for AppCraver.

Wondering which apps are best for enjoying the wonders of the night sky? Here are a few of our favorite applications for amateur astronomers.

Ever since iOS 5 was released, users have complained of reduced battery life on their iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.  Last week I posted an article with a few handy hints about generally improving battery life on your phone, and hopefully some of them paid off.  However, if you’re like me they only helped out

Living Earth HD world clock, weather and alarm app is designed for both the iPhone and iPad and I must say that it looks extremely gorgeous on the iPad. And right now it’s 50 percent off the original price. I’ve reviewed many clock apps and I have to say that I’m quite impressed with this one for its beautiful display of a realistic 3D rendering of our planet, effortless setup and real-time weather reports. The clouds are even rendered with near real-time satellite cloud data (every 3 hours). View global cloud patterns, and tropical storms as they are happening.
