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…

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

iTunes 9 is coming out soon guys. The big rumored additions are a visual organizer for iPhone apps and support for Blu Ray! By support for Blu Ray I’m thinking they mean you can put your Blu Ray disk into your PC or Mac and import into iTunes 9. Then you sync to you iPhone and you’ve got them there. I believe Blu Ray uses video files with extension of .mk2v so I’m not sure how it would all work. Anyway, it can only be a good thing for getting higher quality videos on you computer and Apple device. The organizer is long overdue. I guess they’ll integrate Spotlight better between iTunes and your device. Spotlight on your iPhone is OK, but it would be better if it were more like Quickgold. You need to visually see the icons you use most often below the searchbox. It can’t be that hard to do, but maybe that’s just a pet peeve of mine? Well, its hot today. Been to pool already and having mom over for her B-Day party. Be well and changes and contest coming this week! Tweet ya later

Everybody loves talking about the weather, right? Well, WeatherBug Elite makes sure you’ll know what you are talking about. Whether you hike, bike, fish, boat on the lake, play golf or any other outdoor activity, launch the app on your iPhone and check out the radar to see how close that storm is from your location. For me, the radar is the key feature on the app. Where is the storm relative to my location? Is it going to mess up my plans? You can’t find the answer with Apple’s native weather icon. With this app you have your answer in less than 10 seconds. Continue Reading…
