iPhone ad withdrawn over speed claims in the UK, when will it here? I have never been impressed with the ‘fast’ 3G adverts. Fast. Whatever. Better then edge, but 3G only works ‘sometimes’ for me depending on my location. So every time I see an advert here in the US I roll my eyes. Well, lookie here.. This is from ‘The Independent’ The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld… Read More
Qik videos can now be seen on the iphone! The circle is complete About time. I was actually surprised it took this long.. but we have a winner! yes, Qik videos can now been seen on the iPhone. How? mov player of course. The quality is pretty darn good. This has been a weakness since both Qik, flixwagon and even livecliq (which I have yet to get working)… Read More

Baseband 101 The ‘baseband’ is the generic name given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your… Read More
Did the iPhone 2.2 update make your network faster? Let me know I have not updated yet and I have gone over the reasons, basically deciding it was not worth the time to re jailbreak and reinstall stuff. But I did hear from one person that they though the network was working faster. Now that could have been cause of the clean install, who knows.. but if… Read More
Video Recorder is really starting to piss me off I really want to like this app. And I did in the beginning. I love the options for video and sound compression. I think the idea of compressing on the fly or later is fantastic. This is not a free app either, I paid for this.. so what is upsetting to me?? Well for the… Read More

Here is a brief list of changes from the email.. We’ve recently announced our integration with Nokia’s free media sharing service Share on Ovi, so now you can instantly upload your flixwagon videos to Ovi. More information here. If… Read More
iPhone OS 2.2 is out. I’m not going to install it. There is not enough in 2.2 to make it worth my while, but I though I would at least let you all know. 🙂 The jailbreak for 2.2 is already out. Link to more info here.. but I’m still going to hold off. Here is what I’ve heard is in 2.2 from gadgettastic The iPhone… Read More
What I look for when buying an iPhone battery pack I do not need a battery pack since I have so many power adapters from testing, 🙂 but if I needed one, there are two things I will look for… It should be form fitting such that it becomes part of the phone or at least provide enough protection for the phone such that I… Read More
Google voice actuated search is out. Go get it. Google voice actuated search is out. Finally. Its pretty good. Works just like in the promo film. A few tips though, make sure you speak clearly and slowly. Do not blur your words together. Another tip, say ‘Maps …. Berkeley’ to get maps up. When you click on the first return, it will give you… Read More
iFun lets you use your iPhone like a wii controller for your PC This is just plain sweet. Now first off, I could not get the sync to work for me, most likely because this just came out and servers are over loaded, but I get the idea well enough. I wrote on SGN before and really liked what they were doing. The only issue I had was… Read More
iPhone Video Recorder is now fixed. Mostly I’ve written about DeamCatcher’s iphone video recorder before, mostly saying that it would be my favorite video if the darn thing worked. However, yesterday, the version 3 update for video recorded came out and finally, its working… well mostly. Its still basically the same product as a year ago, and yes you still need jailbreak… Read More
Google voice search app may appear Monday I just read on TechCrunch that the Google voice-recognition search application may be delayed till Monday. Yesterday Google took the video down after a week of hyping, and pretty good hyping at that. Seems that Google and Apple were not totally aligned on the release date for this thing. That is a bit of a… Read More
While waiting for the Google voice app, I started playing with Jott I found Jott while checking into Google’s new speech recognition app and its not bad. Basically, its a note pad the takes a 15 second voice sample, sends it back to their servers, and converts to text. Its not perfect as you may guess, but for a quick note, the conversion is normally close enough… Read More
Review of Files Lite as a wifi based file share for the iPhone Files lite is pretty cool for 2 reasons, first you can get files off the phone using a simple web browser and upload files by setting up a creating a network place (on Windows at least, Macs have other instructions… which are here. 🙂 The fact that I can load up the iPhone with a… Read More
Review of TouchCopy to manage music on the iPhone without iTunes TouchCopy ( a paid app) has been around for awhile and its lived up to my expectations. Unlike DiskAid, (review here) which provides only rudimentary file access, or Files Lite (review here) which sandboxes access to the file system, TouchCopy gives a bit more control and a far more user friendly experience. The only downside… Read More
Review of DiskAid. Use your iPhone like an external disk I have been using TouchCopy (review here)for quite a while now to manage my files (images, music, etc..) It’s a paid service and worth it IMHO. I also really like Files lite (review here) because of the wifi access. Very cool. Well, there is now another option for accessing your iPhone like a USB drive,… Read More

Ok, for the rest of you, there are 4 programs out there for taking video and for me, one that I cannot seem to get to work. Cycoder: This is a pretty good app with a very simple UI. Start… Read More
Review of MotionX-GPS Lite gps application. Not too useful, but looks great! MotionX is not like other gps loggers I have reviewed for biking or running, but I I thought I would have a look at it anyway. Sweeeett looking app! MotionX is more useful for motorcycling or driving in my opinion then biking unless you are on a long or particularly complicated ride. The cool feature… Read More
Tethering the iPhone to your laptop is suppose to be coming. I just read this in cnet. AT&T confirms tethering coming to iPhone in 2009 Eh. Perhaps. There is nothing to gain and a bit to lose for AT&T to do it now. So I’m guessing they are keeping this in their pockets as a way to fight the sure to come competition from other service… Read More
