While OttoSkins, which we reviewed here, is a great product with pre-loaded designs, UniqueSkins is the place to capture your own personal image on a skin. The actual sticker itself seems to be a bit thinner but will protect your device all the same.  Uploading photos is very easy and the site is quite user friendly.  Continue Reading…

Added cam quality of very recent District 9 and Inglorius Bastards. Also, Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married for asoto, The Hangover for velez and Man on Wire for pankay. Finished Season 1 of the The Secret Life of American Teenager as well. As always, True Blood, Entourage and Hung will be up by tomorrow. Season finale for all these HBO shows in two weeks, but don’t worry Dexter and Curb start up in September! Please put all requests, comments or suggestions in the Forum and add to your profile.

The free iPhone skin plus $10 cash giveaway is over. See if you won here. Thanks again to all who entered.

Milton Bradley’s classic game on your iPhone! I’m biased as this was one of my favorite board games growing up. I think mainly because who didn’t love spinning that wheel? While spinning the wheel on your iPhone by swiping your finger isn’t as much fun, the game does convert nicely to the iPhone. But hey, its EA and as you’ve probably gathered I’m a big fan of almost all their games. Continue Reading…

So running apps in the background is a feature that everyone wants on their iPhone. Well, jailbroken devices can install Backgrounder via Cydia to do just that. If you are playing a game such as The Game of Life (seen here on the left with review coming tomorrow) and need to check a text or get a phone call the app closes. Sure it saves your place in the game, but you have to reboot the app which takes 20 seconds or more for apps like Tiger Woods golf. With Backgrounder, when you touch the icon it opens in a two seconds or less and you are playing again. Continue Reading…

Run, walk, or jog your way to better health! The Pedometer application attempts to help you lose weight and stay healthy as it tracks your steps, distance traveled, and calories burned – all conveniently from your iPhone. The settings screen pictured here on the left has an adjustable sensitivity which allows for accuracy whether walking, jogging, or running. I didn’t play with this setting much as I’m not serious about running so I can’t comment on how accurate the sensitivity might be. I don’t run except when I’m chasing the kids! You can see there are multiple position settings ensure that your steps are counted whether you carry your iPhone in your pocket, belt, on your arm, or in your hand! Continue Reading…

So, I added a few new movies – Air Force One for dhalla, Fan Boys for kodi-phipps, Vegas Vacation for hbronco960925 and a few very recent cam quality movies. On TV shows I’ve almost finished every episode of Weeds! I love this show. Check it out if you haven’t ever watched it. I put in Backyardigans so you’d have a second cartoon choice for kids other than Scooby Doo. As always, files are mp4 for your convenience. Contest should be up on Friday

New Movie Monday will be up soon along with all of last night’s HBO shows – True Blood had a sweet ending! So I was thinking from the beginning that the iPhone 3GS wasn’t worth upgrading for the purposes of the camera as its only one more megapixel. Remember the iPhone 3G does not have a video recorder unless you jailbreak it and add Cycorder. However, the other way to look at is that its 50% more powerful. So I filmed 40 seconds with both phones on top of each other at the same time to take a look. Continue Reading…
