Initial Impressions: BlackBerry App World

For BlackBerry users across North America, the day has finally come where RIM has joined the ranks of Android (Android Market) and Apple (App Store) with the launch of the BlackBerry App World.  Referred to as "an exciting new sales channel" by...

Does iPhone really need fingerprint scanner security?

Digging into another Apple patent filing, Apple Insider discovered a reference to some really crazy biometric security stuff for the iPhone. The patent — which was filed back in September and only recently published — covers fingerprint...

aHome, revisited (already)

I have to drop a quick update here to my lukewarm post on aHome. Three days after I reviewed it, mAPPn released version 1.4.0 of the program, and almost all of my complaints have were addressed. First and foremost. aHome now has the Cupcake QWERTY,...

Face detection for Android (and iPhone)

It may not be available for a little while, but don't be jealous, Android fans, when your iPhone buddy starts bragging about the inevitable face detection app headed to their phones in the next few months. Face.com just launched a face detection app...

Android app review: aHome

I've tried various versions/incarnations of all of the Android home replacements I'm aware of: dxTop, Open Home, and aHome. I settled on aHome lite as my favorite because it was exactly that - lite. There were a couple of handsome, practical...

Android app review: GMote

GMote has been a tough nut for me to crack. Not so much in terms of using the app, but in terms of filming and editing a review. The program is robust and full of useful features. I wanted to explore them all - and in three different operating...

Android app review - dxTop

Buying from the priced Android Market is just too easy, and I've had a hard time holding back. $3.99 is a bit steep for the average app, but as you'll see, dxTop is unique. It provides enough new functionality to satisfy geeky urges, and has great...

Just in from BlackBerry PR ... But don't go there until 10pm Eastern Time tonight:RIM has officially named the storefront – BlackBerry App World. The site for developers will be updated tonight and should be live again by 10pm (Eastern...

iPhone Apps: Other (very cool) timers (5/5)

Sometimes a timer is just a timer. After all, how many bells and whistles can you put on something so straightforward, right? Well, actually, we’ve covered multi-timers, verbal countdown apps, timers that work when the phone’s asleep, and now —...

iPhone Apps: Timers — Game Timer App (4/5)

Game Timer App (not to be confused with the similarly dubbed Game Timer) is exactly what the name says: a simple timer intended for use in board games and other activities. But I tend to use it whenever and wherever I need a fast, no-fuss single...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

Ive got this app. Some negetive feesback which will hopefully get the developers to fix it in the next release E.g. try typing ‘good’. you get ‘god’. Why? Because it not a true t9. Its a combination of t9 with multi tap So if there is ever a word...

Re: aHome, revisited (already)

John, I'm debating using aHome, but I have a few questions. First, how much internal memory does the app take up? Lately I've been having to be choosy about what apps to install because of storage concerns. Second, how much of a CPU hit does this...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

I've got a HTC Magic.Predictive text doesn't work in the Dutch language settings. It only shows my personal "User dictionary". It doesn't even work in compact qwerty and T9. I allready did a reboot. In English it all works fine. How can I solve...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

I purchased this app for my mytouch but I can't seem to make it my default keyboard. I think I have to ask for a refund.

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

Maybe this is because your area does not support pay app like I do. I am in HK and the provider cannot figure out how to set up the pay app so we can only get the free app. I would like to know if better keyboard support the handwriting mode? That...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

I've installed the apk of the HTC IME Keyboard and it is FANTASTIC!!! I like the Haptic feedback way better with it compared to the standard cupcake keyboard.

Of course the Bigger Keys help also. ; D
