I recently learned, via Twitter of course, that a new Twitter app is available for the iPhone. Shocking I know, another Twitter app, however in this case it may be worth a second look.

In a new weekly feature, I will be highlighting a handful of apps that I discovered during the week. These apps will be a mix of helpful, novelty, entertaining or just simple time wasters. I do plan on making an effort to keep them as low priced apps, but am really not going to set [...]

While writing up my earlier Twitterific 2.0 post I came across a post that I wrote shortly after the App Store was available.

Just yesterday we saw the release of The Wall Street Journal app for the iPhone and it has quickly become my favorite news application. I will admit that initially I was excited simply because of the price — free. However after spending even a short time with it, I can say that I have only [...]

I have been using a mophie Juice Pack 3G for several months now and it seems about time I share a few thoughts here on iPhoneFreak.
