Digg to release iPhone app tomorrow? (Finally)

Being an avid Digg user as well as an avid iPhone user,  I have long awaited the release of a Digg app for the iPhone. Now, don’t get me wrong, Digg’s iPhone-optimized site is pretty easy to use, but it definitely doesn’t stack up to an app devoted solely to “Digging.” For those of you unfamiliar [...]

SimCity Deluxe Coming Soon

It has been more than a year since SimCity became available on the iPhone.  A glorious looking and extremely faithful conversion, the game was as close as one could expect a handheld SimCity 3000 to be.  It wasn’t without its problems, being painfully slow on occasion and blessed with a flawed UI to name two, [...]

We all knew that Opera had been working on a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone, of course, the big question was whether or not it would be approved. Unfortunately we do not yet have an answer to that question, but we should, or at least we hope to soon. According to a recent report [...]

Make Someone Happy, Give Them an iPhone App

Although iTunes users have been able to give music and video gifts for sometime, the ability to do the same in the App Store was never added.  This week however, if you drop down the menu next to the price of your chosen app, the first option that now greets you is ‘Gift this App’. Selecting [...]

Vaja announces new lineup of iPad cases

Accessories, at least for some people are just as important as the device. Me personally, I like a good case. That said, I have yet to decide how I am going to protect my iPad, but it seems that each day I spend trying to decide my decision is made harder with more options. And [...]

Apple now selling contract free iPhones in store

For better or worse, Apple has recently begun selling contract free iPhones in store. The iPhones that would be purchased in this way are still going to be locked to AT&T, but they would not require the user to have the standard two year agreement with AT&T. A nice option, assuming you have the cash [...]

Earlier this month, we were wowed by the release of Street Fighter for the iPhone, a graphically intense game with a complex control system and just this week, we were wowed again by the trailer for Chaos Rings, which has some of the most beautiful graphics we have seen on the iPhone.  So why would [...]

LED Basketball Bounces Back on the iPhone

We added touchGrove’s LED Football 2 game to our list of classic retro games for the iPhone a while back, and now it has been joined by another faithful iPhone-based Mattel adaptation, LED Basketball 78.  Referring to the year of origin for the handheld original, this is another lovingly crafted conversion. The object is simple enough, [...]

Jailbreaking news: Unsure if you can jailbreak, check the chart

Interested in jailbreaking your iPhone but not sure if your device can be jailbroken. That is understood, heck I follow the jailbreaking scene pretty close and still have a hard time remembering which phones can be jailbroken at this point. Its not a hard process, but at this point the ability to jailbreak is based [...]

Amazon gives up more information on the Kindle app for the iPad

Last week we were given an official, albeit brief mention about the Kindle app coming to the iPad. Unfortunately that mention was just a simple one line in a press release about the Kindle app for Mac OS X. Thankfully we are now being given a slightly better look with a bit more detail. This [...]
