Workout Tracker?

Does anyone know of a good workout tracking app for the iPhone?

I'm looking for one that can keep track of what exercises I do, number of reps, # of pounds, # of miles, # calories, etc.

Any suggestions?

Most Expensive iPhone App

$899.99 for an app.  I don't need this type of surveillance on my teens, I'll stick with MobileMe.

Review: Boom Boxes by Hedgehog Lab

When I read the press release for Boom Boxes I thought “I’m not quite sure I get it”, so I asked the developers for a video.  They didn’t have one yet, so they sent me a promo code to try it instead.  I’m not sure how interested I would have been in the game after just watching a quick video, but after spending some time playing Boom Boxes, I’m so glad I got the opportunity to try it.  The game is fun, it’s challenging, and the developer clearly understands the concept of progression of difficulty.  If you’re looking for a good casual game that’s also challenging, look no further than Boom Boxes.

Apple Ebook Pricing

Although Apple has stated that its ebooks will sell for $14.99, there is rumor that bestsellers will sell at $9.99. At what price are you willing to purchase an eBook? Does it matter whether it is fiction or nonfiction? Best seller?

Two weeks and counting to my new iPad!

Topics:

Only two more weeks til I get my iPad!

I'm so looking forward to trying this out.

Will it meet my expectations?

Will there be plenty of apps available for the iPad? Will the ones I own on my iPhone work on my iPad? If so, how will they work? 

What kind of cover will I need? Can I carry it in my purse? What about a stylus? Will my Pogo Stylus work?

Will I be able to endure without 3G? 

I'll let you know the answers to these questions and more - soon!

AirStash — wireless Flash drive for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

I spent a number of years using Windows Mobile devices, and they always had an SD card slot for storage of files or programs. It was a simple and easy way to dramatically increase the amount of storage. But there's no card slot in the iPhone. Not to fear: AirStash is an SD card reader that uses Wi-Fi to let you access the files on the card via your iPhone or iPad.
