MobileMe

DateWednesday, July 29, 2009 at 08:28PM

  • What? Online sync, storage, and email service from Apple
  • Where? Apple.com or other online retailers
  • How Much? $99 a year
  • Why is it cool? MobileMe may seem like an over priced service that you don't need but after recent enhancements by Apple and the popularity of the iPhone, it has become a very nice service to consider. With your MobileMe subscription, you get an email service, online storage, and seamless syncing of your contacts, calendar, and Safari bookmarks between multiple Macs, iPhone, and iPod Touch. MobileMe includes 20GB of online storage called iDisk where you can easily share photos and videos with your friends and family, store and share files, and even host your own website. You can access your email, contacts, calendar and iDisk from any computer with a web browser and internet connection. If you have an iPhone, MobileMe becomes very useful. MobileMe not only keeps all the information on your iPhone in sync with your Mac wirelessly but also allows you to locate your iPhone if it's lost and remotely delete all of your personal information if it's really lost. If you own multiple Macs and/or an iPhone definitely check out MobileMe. You can learn more and get a free 60-day trial here.

Paper Toss 

DateSunday, June 21, 2009 at 07:33PM

 

  • What? A game for iPhone or iPod Touch
  • Where? You can download it here(iTunes Link)
  • How Much? FREE
  • Why is it cool? Paper Toss from Backflip Studios Inc. is a highly addictive and fun game where you try to throw a ball of paper into a trash can. Sounds easy enough but a desk fan stands between you and your goal. With each throw, the fan changes speed and position forcing you to adjust your aim. It's a fairly basic game with only three difficulty levels. The harder the level, the further you are from the trash can. The goal is to see how many shots you can successfully make in a row. You can see it in action here.

Apple iPhone 3GS 

DateThursday, June 18, 2009 at 10:19PM

  • What? Apple's latest iPhone
  • When? June 19, 2009
  • Where? Apple or AT&T retail or online stores
  • How Much? 16GB $199, 32GB $299
  • Why is it Cool? The iPhone has been a juggernaut in the smartphone market since it was released in 2007 and has been slightly upgraded each year. This year, Apple is focusing on speed(that's what the "S" stands for). The processor and memory have been upgraded to make using the device even faster than prior models. Opening applications, viewing pictures, finding music, and pretty much every process is now up to two times faster. Also, the camera has been upgraded to a 3.0 megapixel with auto focus and video recording capability. The recorded video can even be edited directly on the phone and uploaded to YouTube. MMS(picture messaging) has been added but will not be supported by AT&T until late summer. A digital compass, voice dialing, and search round out the new features. Even though the design is the same, the new iPhone 3GS is a nice upgrade to this insanely popular device. You can find out more here.
