App Review: Super Monkey Ball!

A super…   a monkey…  a ball.  A Super…  a Monkey…  a Ball.  These are not three different games!

Does the above phrasing sound familiar?  Steve Jobs used this same kind of phrasing when first introducing the iPhone waaaaaaaay back in January 2007.  Much has happened since then!  We finally have the iPhone 3G and, even [...]

Walkthrough: Exchange ActiveSync On Your iPhone 2.0

If MobileMe is Apple’s “Exchange for the rest of us”, then ActiveSync is Microsoft’s “Exchange for the most of them”. After Windows and Office, it’s arguably the 3rd pillar of Microsoft’s business domination. Blackberry’s can (and almost de facto do) connect to them, Windows Mobiles certainly connect to them. Even the aging Palm OS Treo’s [...]

Quick Review: iPhone 3G Dock

The iPhone 3G does not come with a dock, instead you need to buy it separately for $29.99. The bummer of it is that the dock that came with the 1st gen iPhone is incompatible with the 3G dock. The other bummer for some folks could possibly be that the 3G dock also [...]

Just off of the reviewing the original Jawbone bluetooth headset comes its sequel: The Jawbone…2. This headset takes what made the original so great and takes it to the next level in terms of size.
