SBSetting: The best wifi 3G switching application so far – jailbreak only I’ve been using BigBoss and it’s OK, and I don’t know if I’m the only one, but when I click on the icon it takes a few seconds to initialize.

iPhone 2.2 .. worth losing jailbreak to get Google Street view? Rumers of iPhone2.2 are starting to get around and so have a few screenshots. Based on what I’ve read so far, there does not seem to be that much to get excited about short of street view.

Google Earth for the iPhone is out.. And its almost fully cool I was pretty excited when I heard this was out. I downloaded, started exploring and … its ok. The functionality of streaming images, rotation and site marks are there, all very cool, but no buildings! That has always been my favorite part of google earth. Topo in 3D is there, but its somewhat difficult to… Read More
Review of iMapMyRide as a bicycle computer for the iPhone There seems to be a pattern here, I cannot seem to get enough GPS loggers. 🙂 This is the 5th GPS logger I’ve checked out, and with one exception, which I will cover in a second, I’m not really seeing anything significantly new here. iMapMyRide is a free GPS logger with a companion web site… Read More
Remember the game RISK? Now play it on the iPhone with Lux Touch I remember playing RISK as a kid and always wanted to play on it on my treo. Never did find a good version. Same with windows mobile.

How to get GPS for the ipod touch As most of you know, lately I have been writing about GPS logging apps for the iPhone for biking, running, sailing, or whatever.

Review of Fitnio as an iPhone running computer I’m not a runner and I’ve stopped my regular runs a few years ago. But a reader pointed out Fitnio to me, so I thought I would give it a shot on a run instead of biking as normal. Fitnio is like most other free GPS loggers out there I have used; but what is… Read More
How the iphone made me lazy It used to be, before smartphones, that when I made an appointment to be somewhere, I would write it down on a calendar. Before I would leave, I would get a map and look up where I’m suppose to go, taking careful notes on how to get there. I would also write the phone number down… Read More
When you think about it… Diving catch in left field I’ve written a ‘when you think about it‘ in regards to sliding into second base. This time, a diving catch in left field. First off, I have to point out that I’m on the worse or near the worse softball team in the history of the game, so there is no reason to risk life… Read More
My top free iPhone digital radio apps As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a news junkie. I watch or listen to WAY more news then I should, but the news and especially politics is like a soap opera that you know is somewhat trashy, you just cant stop following. 🙂 Anyway, when I drive, I normally listen to a 24hr AM news station. Unfortunately, AM… Read More

Noise while playing iphone (mp3) in the car via the cigarette socket I’m a news junkie and thus listen to quite a bit of AM when I drive.

At least for the last 5 days. If you run anything before 2.23, you may… Read More
Twinkle bought by Tapulous? Beginning of consolidation in the iPhone app market? I was not paying close attention, but when I updated Twinkle last night, and then used it today, I got a message saying Tapulous bought them or it.
