Text + Drive = ?

There are certain things that come with being a geek. For some, a $4000 computer, and a $500 car. With others come gadgets. I know for me, I've spent more on my computer(s) than my car, but I'll just leave it at that. Now, I can certainly say that I'm one for gadgets of any kind. Big, small, ones that do lots, or some that do very little. It's a gadget, and I must have. A few of the most common ones are iPods, soon to be iPad's, and of course, phones. It seems like today, almost every person has...

TeamViewer now on the iPhone

I'm a fan of TeamViewer for the Mac and PC. Sometimes it gets to be very buggy, but most of the time it works. Today, while finally looking around in the app store for some apps(which I haven't done in almost two months), I found TeamViewer as one of the top productivity apps for the iPhone. I was shocked to see the fact that TeamViewer was finally on the iPhone, but not many people reported about it. I tried the free version(The pro version is $99.99) and it works alright. if you've ever used a...

MLB.com At Bat 2010: Worth the $15?

if you follow baseball and have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you're probably familiar with MLB's MLB.com At bat iPhone application, which gives you an all in one application regarding everything dealing with baseball. I bought the 2009 version and I was definitely impressed, but a negative to this was the fact that it was $9.99, AND you had to pay for the next year as well. So this year, I was gonna buy it for $9.99, but I found that the price went up from $9.99 to $14.99. Which left me thinking - i...

Tweetie For the iPhone – Best Twitter Client Out There?

What is the best Twitter client for the iPhone, you ask? Well on this episode of Techknowledgey, I tell you.I honestly think that it is Tweetie. It has every feature I would ever possibly want, and it’s incredibly well designed. The developers really knew what they were doing, and the way they implemented many features is just incredible. For instance, refreshing the feed is done by simply scrolling to the top of the list. Shortening URLs can be done while composing a new tweet with the t...

Icy Escort [iPhone App]

Icy Escort is a fun game made by Donut Games, the same makers from the game Traffic Rush for the iPhone. The game is free for a limited time, so don't miss out! The game provides a lot of different features, such as 30 different and action packed levels, easy super-responsive controls, powerups to make things more fun, and fun stats to track how well you've been playing. Definitely a fun game you should check out! Though, I have found that the game tends to be laggy at times on an iPhone 3...

From Blackberry to Google Android in an iPhone World

Let's face it you can ask just about anyone and they will know what an iPhone is and know about all its apps it offers. Unless your in the technology world you don't know all the pros and cons of each device. This Christmas I was gifted a Motorola Droid running the Android 2.0 OS by Google. Previously I had been a Blackberry Pearl 8130 user for 3 years. Both phones are on the Verizon Network and carrying the same type of required data fields and generally have the same variation of features. ...

Glow Jump for the iPhone

Glow Jump for the iPhone is a fun game in where you attempt to get a high score by jumping as high as you could. It's an equivalent to Doodle jump, which isn't a free app. Glow Jump enables you to create your own profile on a service called Openfeint, which saves your high scores in a database along with thousands of other players across the world. Glow Jump is in the top 25 list in Apple's app store, in which I'm definitely not suprised. Features include: Moving and rainbow pl...

MyCast Weather: Advanced Weather On your iPhone

I love tracking the weather. I'm also a huge fan of severe weather, so I always look at the radar for future forecasts. Up until a few days ago, I used Weather Channel Max to keep track of my weather on my iPhone. The UI is great, but sometimes it lacks some features. Yesterday, I found a neat iPhone weather app called MyCast Weather. This app has everything, including Radars, temperatures, forecasts, shake to update data, and much more. This app is an all in one weather app, and definitely a mu...

WeatherBug iPhone App Review

All of us that have the iPhone that we already have a weather app installed by default, which is powered by Yahoo. However, for some of us that app is not detailed enough. Fear not, there is a better solution! WeatherBug is a great weather application that allows you to see the daily or weekly forecast, but also current conditions radar maps, videos, and live cameras. One of the good things about the weekly forecast is that, unlike the default iPhone app, it goes into detail about the forecast, ...
