So you have your iPhone and you are loving it. Social Apps…Check! Productivity Apps…Check! Game Apps…Check! A friend’s housewarming is today and they live two states over.

You hop into the car, put your destination into the Maps App, and follow the dot while driving to find your destination. While you looking at the dot in the Maps app, you hop the curb, crash into a parking meter, and you soil yourself.

This is life without a true GPS app. Couple this with the fact that you are poor like us all and you are in a pickle. So I have gathered a list of high quality GPS apps for close to nothing (or literally nothing). Continue Reading…

May 18, 2012 — Leave a comment

Back when the iPhone 4S came out, my iPhone 4 quickly looked sad and old. Despite looking virtually the same on the outside, I knew that the iPhone 4S had some killer insides, an even better camera, and one little software difference that got everyone in a tizzy:

Siri.

There’s been arguments that Siri is more of a marketing ploy than a productivity tool, but I had a case of Siri envy regardless. So what’s an iPhone 4 owner to do?

Enter Evi. Continue Reading…

Verizon To Kill Your Unlimited Plan

May 17, 2012 — Leave a comment

I hate to break it to you but Verizon is killing the Unlimited plan with the move from 3g to 4g. When our beloved iPhone upgrades itself (automagically) to 4g LTE, those of us on Verizon will cry a few tears. Our Unlimited plan will cease to exist.

How many megs are you killing with your data plan right now? A few hundred a day, week a month?

Considering myself a power user I was pleasantly surprised that this wont effect my usage at all!

This decision is based around the lack of 3G space for data to be used well. Once the networks push all traffic via 4G (a network made for data) we will all benefit. Continue Reading…

Parenting with iDevices

I’m not a selfish troll so my kids have pretty much free reign with my iDevices as long as they ask first. Which I guess isn’t necessarily “free reign”, but whatever. The basic gist is my kids get to play with my toys. This works out for me because sometimes I want to play with their toys. My son has some pretty cool legos and Nerf guns.

Since we’ve had iPhones for a couple of years and an iPad since last summer I’ve found a number of parenting benefits that aren’t featured in Apple’s ads.

Is it that surprising to you that Apple caved and went away from the “sweet spot“? It shouldn’t be.

The smartphone industry is changing and so should our beloved iPhones.

While I am not sure how I feel about the move to the 4 inch screen, I am sure it will make lots of folks happy from the sounds of it. Continue Reading…

Everyone uses one at least once a day right? Calendars are used all the time by tons of people all over the world, why is it so hard to make them work? It’s the icon that drives Jailbreakers nuts with their themes, it’s the Calendar.

Why is it so hard to get right?

The default app from Apple does the job, but is lacking in many ways also. There are other options out there. Web versions, apps and more, but nothing really hits the spot.

In comes Easy Calendar to the mix, how does it fair in such a disappointing niche? Find out below! Continue Reading…

Chrome For iOS, It’s Coming [Rumor]

May 15, 2012 — 5 Comments

It looks like Google is working on a Chrome iOS browser for the iPhone and possibly even our beloved iPad, according to an obscure Research Note.

If, as we assume, GOOG successfully introduces its Chrome browser for iOS devices, it could significantly benefit Google’s strategic and operational mobile positioning.

While this is a rumor, and a backed up one at that, it is still just a rumor. Never mind the fact that it may not even make it through the App Store approval process, nor be worth actually using. Continue Reading…
