 WikiReader a Perfect Gadget Gift!!By Nate Adcock, June 18, 2010
Topics: If you refer to or use Wikipedia as much as I do, then you have to get a WikiReader (created by Openmoko). Not directly iPhone or smartphone-related, I know, but bloggers should really listen up. This is s great companion device, especially for those times when you just can't get to the network, and you need to brush up or verify some tech info. Trivia junkies will also love this gadget, so it is a superb Father's Day gift. The WikiReader brings the power of WikiP to your fingertips, and only needs 2 AAA batteries to do it (and a storage card, both included).

 Google to create web TV. Yeah right.By John Painter, May 22, 2010
Topics: I expect innovation, not regurgitation from Google. While enthusiastic about Google's deal with AdMob finally going through, I'm less than impressed with their new proclamation of partnering with Sony for a Google web TV. Don't get me wrong, I love Google and Sony, but talk about being late to the party. Why am I annoyed? Aside from Google wanting to do things other than what they're really, really good at?

 Call anyone in the US from anywhere in the world absolutely FREE on your iPadBy John Painter, May 6, 2010
Do you Whistle (free)? I guess I'm still a bit tongue tied with my latest VoiP app for the iPad, yes you're hearing me right a VoiP phone for the iPad (and other devices too). The WhistlePhone Service is interesting for a number of reasons; 1) it designed an app for the iPad, 2) it utilizes an add you have to listen to before each call to make your voip call free in the US, or from anywhere else to the US.

Jumping to the Home screen; switching between screensSubmitted by Rich Hall on Wed, 05/05/2010 - 16:31
Issue:
If you like to download and install third-party apps, you quickly wind up with multiple Home screens. A flick of the finger will take you from one Home screen to another. A quick way to get back to the main Home screen from other Home screen pages is to press the Home button. (This feature is available from version 2.2 onward.) In addition, you can switch between Home screens without swiping by tapping the lower left and right corners of the screen. |

The iPhone OS 3.0 software adds the ability to save short voice memos on your iPhone. In addition to saving them, you can rename them and trim them down (like you can with videos taken with the 3GS).
To rename a voice memo, go to the app's list view and tap on the right arrow symbol next to the memo you want to rename. This takes you to the info screen for that memo.

The iPod and iTunes made Apple the most important player in the music industry. Now, with the release of the iPad and the free iBook app to access its new iBookstore, Apple aims to do the same for print. So how does the iPad fare as an eBook reader
