Fighting the AT&T power.. kindly So I’m sure everyone has already heard about Dan Lyons (the fake Steve Jobs) suggested Operation Chokehold where everyone slams AT&T’s network by running high volume data apps. Well, I cannot say I’m in favor of the idea because I KNOW AT&T is quite aware of the limitations of their network, of which Ralph de… Read More
A review of Bing on the iphone.. come and get it! Bing is now on the iphone. Now live on the app store. Its looks pretty nice. The maps are smooth, but traffic is kind of hard to read. The maps fad into each other when they update which is nicer then the snap on the iphone default map, but the iphones is easier to read.… Read More
Will blackra1n jailbreak make my iphone more unstable? Actually, just the opposite I decided to update to my iphone to OS3.1.2 for no other reason then to just do it.. That and the LONG delay it takes for SMS to open could have been related to 3.0 or perhaps some jailbreak app I installed back in the day. Anyway, I decided to live with my mobile device… Read More

Find the great building of the world on your iphone with Architecture Seems like a good idea. Put all the great buildings of the world into an app that not only tells you about the building, and provide images, but uses GPS to guild you to the buildings. Nice. ‘Architecture’. the name of the app, will direct you to nearby building of note based on your current… Read More

One of those application was being able to see new building design at the actual construction site. Well, Layer has released 3.0 and what do they have as the first bit of eye… Read More
Share live video between iPhones with a knock Well, they call it a knock, but cool all the same. The app is called Knocking and it lets you share live video between two iphones. Soon with Android. I do not have this installed, but from the demo video, its seems pretty good. As you would expect, the frame rate is low and the… Read More
Use the iphone’s accelerometer as a ruler! Now that is a cool idea. You move the iphone along the ground, or wall or whatever flat surface, smoothly, from one point another and .. tada. YOU haz measurement! I have not tried it myself, but it seems like it would work. Now I would imagine the smoother you can move the iphone, AND… Read More

iphone app from Oracle that looks like its from a startup. Oracle has a new iphone app that looks ok. In the promotional animation, a business man is flying to Paris, France to give a presentation. Great. Often, and I can attest to this, you have to use cash for things because your card is not always accepted. So, this application called ‘iReceipts’ seems like any… Read More
Text message (SMS) to voice on the iphone My nephew Jared turned me on to this app. DriveSafe.ly is still in Alpha and only on jailbreak at the moment.

Right now, there is not a solution for real time collaboration for mobile devices, and given limitations of screen real estate , memory and CPU power, its not surprising. The great part about flash, is how easy it is to build modules and swap… Read More
