Well, after almost 5 years ATT has finally gotten around to offering insurance for the iPhone. Better late than never I guess as there is a lot of demand for this product. That said, the price is way too high and with other insurers already established I don’t see this selling well. Continue Reading…

Eye Illusions, Apalon $0.99, is a fun little app that shows how your eyes can play tricks on you. Well, I guess its your mind that’s really fooling you espeically those with simple ones like me. The app includes color tricks and tests, appearing and disappearing objects, impossible objects and strange lines. There are numerous pictures and new ones are added frequently. Continue Reading…

Twitter for iPhone app was released today. I won’t bore you with a review as most of you don’t use Twitter despite my efforts to tell you why you should. Anyway, there are many Twitter apps for the iPhone, but Apple bought Tweetie a month or so ago and Apple’s Twitter app is essentially Tweetie 3.0. If you want a review check out my Tweetie 2 review here as this is basically the same thing with a few minor tweeks. However, the best thing is that its FREE! So now is the perfect time to stick your toe in the Twitter pool. Download the app to give it a try. You don’t have to sign up or sign in to search, browse uders, see trending topics or top tweets. It’s a great way to get a feel for Twitter. To get Twitter just launch the app store and tap on Top 25 Free apps. It’s been climbing all day is currently number 7 (it was number 10 when I started this article) and should be number 1 by tonight.

What do you get when you couple a Seattle-based cartoonist named Molly Norris decree that May 20th be declared “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!” and Facebook?? Well, over 100,000 fans of both pro and con Facebook Fan pages regarding the idea and a Pakistani court has ordered parts of Facebook be blocked. You can read about it here. All of this seems way too emotional to me. I mean Salmon Rushdie was signing books in New York yesterday despite the fact that Iran still has a death sentence on him. I guess Ms. Norris is hoping this story doesn’t get any bigger.

Mad O Ball 3D, Tommaso Lintrami $3.99, is a marble racing game that is quite stunning. The game features four different 3D worlds and 32 tracks. While similar to the popular Super Monkey Ball, I find this to be more polished and arcade like. Games like this are what has lead Nintendo to comment that Apple is its competitor of the future.

Despite living in the South I am not a fan of guns (or Nascar or fishing for that matter). Nevertheless, I thought I’d review iGun Pro, David Holtkamp $0.99, after seeing some funny YouTube videos using ths app. The app is fairly simple and actually kind of fun as there are plenty of friends and strangers I’d love to shoot in a typical day.

For all you True Blood, New Moon and Vampire Diaries fans I thought I’d review this one. Vampire Transformer, 211me Inc. $0.99, allows you to easily transform a photo into a vampire. When you create a vampire you basically have a split screen where you choose your photo and one of 64 vampire pictures to transpose. You drag and align the vampire picture over yours and then can use an eraser tool to blend the images. Continue Reading…

Everyone is familiar with Ebay and I bet most of you have bought or sold something there before. I’ve got over 200 completed transactions on eBay so I thought I’d give eBay Mobile, free, a chance. Once you launch the app and enter your eBay username and password you are taken the to screen that looks very familiar with boxes showing the number of items you are watching, winning, won, outbid on, selling, sold, unsold and scheduled.
