There are many board games in the App Store. Scrabble, Risk, Clue, you name it. As these are all very popular games, owning a digital version while most likely owning a physical version doesn't really make that much sense. What you need is a board game you don't already have. What you need is Carcassonne....

One of the problems with the App Store is discovering new apps within its enormous catalogue of over 425,000 apps and counting. A new app called Kinetik has made it extremely easy to share and discover new apps by taking advantage of social networking. It launched yesterday, and you'll soon be hearing more about this...

I find the board game Risk fun, but unrealistic. How can fighting be the only way to win a dispute? This is how Civilization Revolution became my favorite Risk game. It's world domination, taken physically, or verbally. While the computer is their flagship console, they have recently been licensing to other consoles, including iOS. As...

Pandora Radio is a service that allows for free streaming of internet music. While highly praised in the US, Canada has been left out of the service all together (you can use Onavo to access it via 3G though). I just recently stumbled across what I am convinced is Canada's Pandora alternative, AUPEO!. The service...

Verbs IM is a fairly new (coming on the App Store last December) Instant Messaging application which boasts a elegant, easy to use, and a breath-taking design that will put all other IM clients to shame. Plain and simple, this is one of the most beautiful apps I have used on my iPhone. Verbs IM looks...
