If you missed the FREE iPhone 4/4S case announcement by ZooGue a few weeks ago, shame on you. I grabbed a few (black, red, army green) and the snap case with ridges on the sides make gripping and holding the iPhone a worthwhile “investment” of shipping and handling. Regrettably the iPhone 4/4S case offer is [...]

Although I’ve never tried this particular app, I’m a huge fan of a competitor (reviewed here). Both share a similar concept: keep your iPhone plugged in, facedown, resting in your bed, with the app running. The iPhone’s accelerometer records and graphs your movements throughout the night (sleep nerds unite!). As your movements in the bed [...]
Oh Facebook. What has been happening since your initial public offering- I hear you’ve had some ups and downs (though mostly downs).

The RAILkase adds heft, strength, and security to Apple’s sometimes-delicate device. OverviewThe RAILkase is so named because of its strong, “aircraft grade aluminum” rail that surrounds the [...]
The recently updated PowerSkin Battery Case debuted and is now surrounding my iPhone 4S. Unlike a Mophie two-piece case (my experience from 3GS days), the PowerSkin has soft rubber sides and top portion that doesn’t require dis-assembly: just bend the top back, slide the iPhone in to engage the connector, and bend the rubber cover [...]
One could assert that technology emphasizes convenience and downsizing: phones, computers, laptops, and tablets have decreased in size while increasing in power. There is a tipping point, however. For a user, convenience and power merge into a sweet spot in equipment size, and that sweet spot is different for every person. For instance, I travel [...]
After 9 months of having only BodyGuardz protective sheets covering my iPhone 4S, I opted to remove them when the back corner obstinately refused to stay down. Wow, I was back in love with my iPhone!

Image from http://www.iconspedia.comLast week I was presenting to about 60 people and everything was going swimmingly.

That was until the music stopped playing through the [...]
When Siri was released on the iPhone 4S I was excited about being able to use the personal assistant while traveling. My mobile office (a.k.a.
