Android fBook wraps the iPhone Facebook application, and as the developer states, "fixes it." I am not an iPhone owner, but I've seen the Facebook app for iPhone. Without getting into detailed comparisons based on videos and my foggy memory, I...
Android Rather than ranking the social networking apps available in the Android Market, I've decided just to write about them in small clusters. Programs that demand more words will get their own blog entries. One of the most deserving is the...
Cell Phone App Reviews PREAMBLE: Since I’ve been writing for PhoneDog, I’ve logged way too many hours navigating the iTunes’ App Store, and it’s only gotten worse since I volunteered to take on the iPhone beat, among others. Casual “window shopping” can be a...
Android If you read this site regularly, you may have seen a post of mine referring to Astrid or Remember the Milk. I'm not going to rehash anything that's already been said - just follow the links if you're interested. But I thought it might be...
Android Despite the disclaimer in the following paragraph, I'll be sticking with the apps that have achieved three-plus star ratings in the Android Market for this round-up - which is why I'm counting down from eight instead of ten. If I've...
Android #6 StreamFurious is a Shoutcast/Icecast streamer that can handle PLS/M3U from the G1 stock or Steel browsers. It's pretty basic, but gets the job done. The problem I have with this app is organization. The user is presented with a long...
Android #3 FlyCast is a full-featured, ad-driven radio solution that offers options you aren't going to find in any other Android app. Over 1500 "channels" are available - featuring live radio and podcast streams. Stations are organized by city,...
Cell Phone App Reviews #1 Last.fm . The official Last.fm client, Personal Radio, is of a caliber even better than I expected from the team that's done more than any other to analyze and interpret the listening habits of music fans on every platform possible....
Cell Phone App Reviews As we all know, the iPhone has thousands of apps for productivity, multimedia, news gathering, finance, and other mature, sophisticated pastimes… blah, blah, blah. But if we were all so refined, there would be no need for games and...
Android When I saw something in the Android Market called cupcake , I probably had the exact reaction the developers had planned: "Could it be an optional beta upgrade to some of the features listed in a coder's development branch called...
Cell Phone App Reviews If you dislike being handcuffed to iTunes to feed your podcast-lovin’ ears, this solution’s for you: RssPlayer invokes streaming audio from RSS feeds, so you can listen or download for offline use. Sadly rewinding or fast forwarding...
Android Opera has a great community. Their free blog network is tight, lively, and helpful. I regularly launch Opera on both of my home computers, though it's not my default browser. I love Opera Mobile, which I used daily when I had the Omnia and...
Android I think the Weather Channel may have just been dethroned as the coolest, sleekest weather app for Android. Moxier World doesn't have the handy tabs for current conditions, hourly forecast, thirty-six-hour and ten-day forecasts that the WC...
Cell Phone App Reviews As we all know, the iPhone has thousands of apps for productivity, multimedia, news gathering, finance, and other mature, sophisticated pastimes… blah, blah, blah. But if we were all so refined, there would be no need for games and fart...
Cell Phone App Reviews If you’ve ever wondered what the heck those individual ebooks are all about in the App Store — well, me too. So I took a look at one to see what the deal was. Unlike readers, which stock a selection of works, these are stand-alone books...
Cell Phone App Reviews There’s nothing like good looks and brains to boot. As far as the total package goes, I don’t think the other ebook apps can hold a candle to this one. Stanza takes some of the best features of its competitors and puts them in one place,...
Cell Phone App Reviews I started writing about alternatives to the Amazon Kindle in Part 1 of the “ebook reader wars.” And in the hot debate over the best readers for the iPhone, you really can’t talk about the issue without bringing up the veteran eReader. Man,...
Cell Phone App Reviews Last month, when 2008 took its final bow, the price of an Amazon Kindle remained steady at $359. Geez — That’s a new 16GB iPhone 3G, plus a ton of apps. So what gives? I don’t know if Amazon’s getting greedy or just that the...
Android TED is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design. The gatherings, also known as TED Talks, are an annual conference at which some of the brightest minds in the world discuss science, technology, socio-economic, and environmental...
Android There are many kinds of geeks in the world: phone geeks, computer geeks, physics geeks, film geeks, renaissance faire geeks, comic book (sorry, graphic novel) geeks, music geeks, etc. The cataloging continues. No geek culture...
