by Christopher Aceto on October 15, 2009

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.

The main feature that caught my attention was the ability (in V2.3) to copy your voicemail messages to your computer and save them as … Read More

How to Get Windows Live Hotmail on iPhone
by Gary on October 6, 2009

Create Awesome Ringtones, with Smule’s “I Am T-Pain”
by RoryPiper on September 6, 2009

One of the silliest, but funnest apps I’ve used over the past week, has got to be “I Am T-Pain“, by Smule. Smule are known for other great apps like “Ocarina” and “Leaf Trombone: World Stage“. “I Am T-Pain”, records your voice on it’s own (Freestyle), or singing along to full on, karaoke-style tracks, and adds “Auto-tune”, which makes you sound like T-Pain. … Read More

Clear Up Space On Your Home Screen with: Categories
by RoryPiper on August 30, 2009

There have been a lot of innovative apps to come from the developers who host their stuff on Cydia, rather than the App Store. One such app, which I never really hear people talk about, is “Categories”. It comes from BigBoss, and is a free download in Cydia. It’s been around for a while, but I thought I would write about it, just in case there are some of you … Read More

If you’re a heavy iPhone user, it’s easy to fill up your homescreens with tonnes of apps. One major grip is moving an app from the last page to the main homescreen. You have to drag, drag, and drag again. It’s very time consuming and painful.

However, there is hope upon the horizon. It’s in the form of a program called Movement and it’s for Mac users and jailbroken … Read More

by Mr. Ex on August 16, 2009

Before I even begin this post, I want to make very clear that I know what I am about to talk about is old, old, old, old news. How do I know this? Because it has been around since June 17, 2009 and maybe even earlier.

The reason I am posting this is because this feature was JUST made aware to me yesterday and maybe not everyone is aware of it … Read More

by Gary on August 13, 2009
