With Apple selling millions of iPhones each quarter, it can feel as though everyone has one. So case manufacturers are always trying to offer designs that help you stand out from the crowd. Enter Arctic. If you've been following me or read iPadinCanada, you'll recognize the name. I did a review of their Architect Stylus...
Geo-fencing. With their announcement of iOS 5 at WWDC 2011, Apple had everyone talking about it. Suddenly, being alerted to call home by the new Reminders app after leaving the office was reality. Unfortunately, when iOS 5 was released the reality was that while the feature worked (sometimes) it was cumbersome to use, and after...
Minecraft Pocket Edition received another major update Monday. I've been holding off including the game in the Time Waster of the Month for a while now until this update was released. The big changes in v.0.3.2 are you can now build a furnace and tree leaves will sometimes yield saplings as long as you break...
iPhoneinCanada’s Trigger Happy Summer There are some things in life that were just meant to go together. Peanut butter and jelly…soy and lattes…Angelina and Brad… When the iPhone 4S was released, Siri was touted to be the bread to the iPhone’s butter, but over half a year since the iPhone 4S was released, it’s...
Time, there's never enough of it, and what we do have gets harder to manage with each passing day. With dozens of timer apps in the App Store, it's amazing that they all do the roughly the same thing. You set a time limit, the time passes, and an alarm triggers when time runs out....
Apple announced the iTunes Match service at WWDC 2011, and it launched in Canada eight days before Christmas on December 15, 2011. I immediately paid the $27.99 fee and subscribed. I was excited at the thought of being able to match the 5500+ songs in my library to the iTunes Match service, allowing access to...
If you've been following me on Twitter or are subscribed to my YouTube channel, you know I just recently got a new MacBook Pro. I'd been using a mid-2007 17" MBP so it was time for an upgrade. So I saved up for a couple of years, and following WWDC I pulled the trigger on...
I love gaming on my iPhone. The size, portability and game titles make it the perfect go to gaming device for me. But over the years I've found some games just aren't optimized for the touch screen. They'd be better off with some sort of physical controls and buttons. The iCade Mobile from iON solves...
Ever since Apple introduced AirPlay, the platform for streaming high-quality audio over a Wi-Fi connection, big names like JBL, Logitech and Altec Lansing have introduced quite a few impressive AirPlay compatible docks and speakers in the market. Some of these offerings have an attractive design but don't sound as good while some sound fairly nice but look...
Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be trying out some new cases, so it's the perfect time to take a look at what I'm using on my iPhone 4S right now. It's the SwitchEasy Eclipse. It's a hybrid case, meaning it's made from a hard polycarbonate material, as well as a softer...
The epic battle between Apple and Google continues, as the latter released its Chrome browser in the App Store last week. Which will emerge victorious in the battle for iOS browser supremacy? Our review will attempt to answer this question, after testing and using Chrome for the past week. Upon launching the application for the...
Google has updated their iOS app, Google Places and is now called Google+ Local. Added to this update is speech recognition, an improved interface and Zagat reviews. The speech recognition is quite good and my verbal requests for things such as “Japanese Food” and “Coffee Shops”. I did manage to find a bug in the...
