QuickLook: iCraig for iPhone

IMG_0005.jpg

There’s an app for that. No really. There’s an app for that.

Apple loves to display the fact that there is a seemingly endless array of applications available for the iPhone and iPod Touch and the longer the devices are around it seems like the more applications we are getting. Now truth be told there’s a HUGE majority of them that are perfectly useless. You can find apps that fart, moan, or make an M60 machine gun sound pretty much by the thousands in the app store. However, not all apps are completely useless, some are even darned handy to have around and iCraig by SplashData is one of those apps that is going to see a lot of use on my iPhone.

Times are tough, and chances are really good that they’re going to get even tougher for a lot of people. I personally think a vast majority are going to turn to Craigslist for things they need and to unload the things they don’t need instead of heading out to the local Best Buy and paying retail for something. I mean let’s be honest here, many of us have dumped a ton of dough on something only to find it didn’t suit our needs, so we would like to recoup some of that dough for the next useless thing… and vice versa.

Enter Craigslist … like a swap meet on the Internet and more importantly to our discussion here – enter iCraig, which in my opinion is almost better than actually using the real Craigslist.

Bumptop – what Microsoft should be advertising

Alright, lets be honest here for a few seconds. Microsoft pays my mortgage. If it wasn’t for them , there would be all sorts of other server types out there and my mortgage would likely be paid by some other company, and while I don’t work directly for Microsoft I get paid to support servers running their real flagship OS… Windows Server. So, as much as I love coming home and working on a Mac, and as much as I love my iPhone and iPod Touch – I’m just as enslaved to Microsoft as you folks who come home to a PC.

Anyway, we’ve done a lot of jabbing back and forth recently about the Microsoft ads featuring Lauren and Giampalo or whatever the hell his name is. Here’s the thing: Microsoft shouldn’t be advertising on price. They should be advertising on what sets them apart from Apple. Maybe more like Apple does with the iPhone ads, they shouldn’t be focusing so much on what the PC is, but what it can do – and Bumptop IMHO needs to be the first one in line.

Check out the video above … If there’s one reason I can see owning a PC, Bumptop is it. There’s a free version as well as a $29 premium version available now!

Another Storm’s a brewin’?

blackberry-storm2

OK, if this isn’t exciting for us Crackb…er…Blackberry users, then I don’t know what is.  First let me state for the record, that I did NOT get the first STORM because of all of the bad press and then I actually saw one in action and…meh.  I was not impressed at all, so imagine how excited I was to hear about the forthcoming Storm 2.  Rumor has it that the name will change, but for right now, that’ll do pig, that’ll do.  According to engadget:

Reputable Dutch site Tweakers has Alain Segond von Banchet, RIM channel sales manager according to LinkedIn, stating that the BlackBerry Storm followup is scheduled to launch at the end of the year or at the beginning of next. In addition, he has the phone coming to KPN, not Vodafone who had the first generation Storm locked-up under an exclusive deal. Interestingly enough, Mr. Segond von Banchet says that the Storm 2 (not the final name) will “offer among other things a new manner to input text” — among other things meaning WiFi, presumably, as we heard before. Keep in mind that channel sales managers do not typically represent a company to the press. Nevertheless, what he’s saying does jibe with previous rumors and we have no doubt that RIM is working hard to avoid the universal disdain that greeted the Storm’s mushy, push-button touchscreen input.

Update: Tweakers responded telling us that Mr. Segond von Banchet was speaking on the record for RIM because there was no one from marketing at the TeleVisie 2009 Expo yesterday.

YAY!  A new manner in which to input text- now that would be grand!  WiFi?  Even grander and I’m sure RIM has realized the error of their ways and will fix all of those bad little bugs!  I was considering going back to WinMo- yes, it’s true…I was a WinMo girl before I left it for BB, but BB started becoming a bit stale and I was longing to feel the freedom of the touch screen…ahhh, how I LOVE the touch screen and now I may actually be able to have my Blackberry and the touch screen as well.  I am one happy camper and I will gladly wait the mere 9 months for  RIM’s new baby to arrive.

Is Apple Planning Multiple New iPhones?

Capture1

The rumors have been swirling about new iPhone hardware coming this summer.  Now, sources appear to confirm that there will be two new iPhones coming soon.  Apparently, one will feature higher specs, processors, batteries, and who knows what else.  This will be aptly referred to as the “Pro” version.  The second version, Junior version, will sport considerably lesser specs.  This is all purely speculation at this point, but the Pro version could be sporting a 5.0 megapixel camera, while the Junior version would likely sport a mere 3.2 megapixel camera.  No word on how this would all translate to the iPod Touch.
