Photo editing with Photoshop on the iPhone October 9, 2009 | perivision | Leave a comment This just came out today. Its pretty fun. You can edit a photo, crop, apply a filter, etc..

Stitcher, digital radio for the iphone, gets an update October 1, 2009 | perivision | Leave a comment I use Stitcher anytime I’m on a long drive. Normally between SF and Sacramento.

Augment Reality App for the iPhone powered by Bing September 24, 2009 | perivision | 2 Comments Just saw this on Techcrunch. It looks pretty cool although I could not get it to work quite right.

I like… Read More

iPhone vs Android web browsing. Hint, its all about the cache September 14, 2009 | perivision | Leave a comment I have not hidden the fact I have complaints with the iphone and AT&T, but all in all, I still regard the iPhone as the best smart phone out there.

Return of FAIL with iTunes9 long sync times September 11, 2009 | perivision | Leave a comment I do not like iTunes. Never did. When I first got the iphone, I would avoid sync as much as possible because of the long sync times. After while, and with iTunes8, things got better. It would not lock up, and I would have a full sync in around 2-3 min. I can live with… Read More
