Traveling overseas? Still want to use your iphone for calls? Enter Fring I just did a post when I first installed Fring, but it dawned on me, this could be quite useful for those traveling overseas. A friend just crossed the pond and was looking to still use his iPhone. I looked into various solutions, but short of a 3rd party SMS service via jailbreak, I… Read More
Fring – VoiP and IM chat on the iPhone About time. I downloaded this, singed into my skype account and give it a shot. The sound quality was not all that great, but usable. Fring is NOT a jailbreak app so that means anyone can use it. The app is free in the app store, so I would grab this if you ever use… Read More
iBowl on the iPhone – iphone vs. wii? ok, so I saw a few tweets about this and decided to give it a shot. And I have to agree, this is pretty cool. Kinda like the wii in a way.

Path Tracker is not like TrackThing where you get a graph and stats on the iphone. Instead, data is uploaded to a website as with GPS Tracker. Except I never could get… Read More
issues with intelliscreen and iphone lockup I really like intelliscreen, and after a few updates was ready to buy a license. What I have noticed however, is a conflict with the iphone digitizer (touch screen) and intelliscreen at initialization. Over time, the iphone digitizer would respond slower and slower and at one point, would not respond unless I restart. I turned… Read More
iphone as a bicycle computer? Yea! I did a ‘maintenance ride’ today and thought I would try out a new iphone app I downloaded last night called TrackThing. I basically turned it on, put it in the small pouch on the back of the bike and took off, ibiking if you will. {UPDATE} Since writing this post I have reviewed a number… Read More
