App Review: PhoneView

I came across a few posts today discussing a newly revised app called PhoneView, brought to us by a company called ECAMM. What i found interesting about this app is the impressive list of features that it boasts, without the need to Jailbreak your iPhone.

iPhone 3GS speed test. Toronto to Tampa
