 Cheap cellular and data for your iPhone, iPad and iPod!By John Painter, August 16, 2010
It is official, Truphone is amazing and it's cheap, really, really cheap cell phone service! In a world where jailbreaking and unlocking your iPhone is now a right, you would think carriers would catch on that the world is changing and they should unshackle us from those chains of service contracts for cellular and data plans.

DIY micro SIMBy John Painter, July 24, 2010
You know someone at iPhone Life had try making their own micro SIM card so I took the plunge and decided to sacrifice a T-Mobile card I had to give it a try in my iPad 3G. You can certainly do this with the iPhone, but you’re going to have to jailbreak and unlock it if you want to use a carrier other than AT&T. The iPad 3G comes unlocked, except in Japan.

The Top Web Resources for iPad Owners
iPad tutorials, app reviews, news, and much more is available online, for free!
A lot of people are ambivalent about the iPad. They read about it and say, "Why would I need one of these?" But the funny thing is, when they get the chance to play with one, many of them buy it. My experience was similar to this. I've had an iPhone for a while, and because it can do most of the things that an iPad can, and a few things it can't, I didn't really think I needed the new tablet. But the moment I got to try one out, I fell in love with it. It felt like I'd found something I'd been seeking for a long time—I had to have an iPad of my own!

 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?

Top Award Sites and App Lists Help you find the Best Apps
Find the top apps fast on these sites
Early on, when the number of iPhone apps was in the thousands, the App Store was a good way for users to find apps and for developers to bring their apps to the attention of users. Now that there are over 200,000 apps, the App Store isn't that helpful. When you do a search on a topic in the iTunes store, you might get hundreds of results. They are displayed in no particular order and there is no way to sort them according to most popular, best-selling, free vs. paid, etc. The 20 broad categories also aren't that useful, since there are so many apps that don't obviously fit any particular category. Fortunately, the Internet can help. In this article, I'll point you to some useful lists of the best apps.

 New QuickLook Domain At TechnoBrains.comBy Eric Pankoke, December 31, 2009
Topics: I'll admit this is a bit of self-promotion, and it isn't completely iDevice related, but the post will be short and it's New Year's Eve, so I figured "why not?" At the beginning of 2009 I started writing short reviews of iPhone games that I dubbed "Quick Looks". The intent was to simply write a couple of paragraphs providing a basic overview of the game and the give it a simple verdict: Recommend, On The Fence or Not Recommended. On The Fence usually meant I liked the game, but I wasn't really sure if it would have mass appeal or not. Anyway, the concept has gained a lot of momentum over the year, but the Quick Look posts were starting to get buried under all the news and other reviews that were streaming through the front page of Technobrains, so the webmaster of the site decided to give Quick Looks their own subdomain. For a nicely laid out look at just the Quick Look posts of TechoBrains.com, please check out http://quicklook.technobrains.com/. And don't be afraid to view it on your iPhone's Safari browser. It looks pretty snazzy there as well.
