Fring Remove 3G Video-Calling Option

No sooner had it arrived than Fring take it away again!  The iPhone 4’s forward facing camera gives the option of using Apple’s own FactTime service, but universal communication app Fring announced last week that their most recent update would also provide two-way video calling.  Even better was the news this would be available via [...]

I have been a pretty big fan of the MotionX GPS app for the iPhone in the past, and it looks like an HD version has recently been released (or maybe has just been discovered by myself). Either way, if its new it requires a mention and if I had missed it then its likely [...]

Three New FaceTime Ads Arrive

The first FaceTime TV advert gave us a glimpse at how the iPhone 4’s video-calling feature could fit into our lives.  It looked great too, mainly because it was directed by Sam Mendes, and didn’t follow the structured approach we’ve become used to thanks to the massive amount of ‘there’s an app for that’ examples [...]

Canoe Slalom App Review – It’s Splashing!

Not being a canoeist, the first thing that springs to my mind when talking about the narrow single-person boat is Deliverance, a film rather oddly described by some canoeing sites as ‘the ultimate canoe adventure movie!’  Well, if that’s the way canoeists describe Deliverance, then I don’t think I’d fit in very well down at [...]
