I know a few of you guys out there are using an OtterBox to protect your iPhones (Tim, I'm talking to YOU!). Anyways, if you haven't noticed yet, OtterBox makes the strongest protection for any device out there, not just the iPhone! These waterproof, dustproof, and nearly indestructible cases will make any active or outdoor...

There are a lot of places to buy iPhone accessories. We've reviewed lots of cases and protectors from the following companies: ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD), Unique Skins, GelaSkins, PhantomSkinz, and OtterBox to name a few. For those early readers of the blog you might remember my review of the Monaco Pouch Leather Case from Wireless Ground. I'm...

Lately we've seen a lot of apps lately being given away for free. This benefits all of us as we get to preview and experience new applications. Part of the reason developers do this is to have a sudden torrent of people download their apps to get it into the Top 25. Once they get...

I've seen a lot of very interesting apps come out of the App Store lately. It's always fun to check the Top 25 and see a new app available. However, some of the best apps to date are available only via the jailbreak (I'm thinking of QIK and PDAnet). Today we're going to check out...

Hey all! Today's post will be a quick reminder (and what to do) about the recall two weeks ago of the iPhone 3G Ultra-compact USB Adapter. If you have not done so already, head over to Apple�and register to have your new adapter sent to you. Otherwise, you can always go in-store to your local...

Did you ever use Fring during the jailbreak days of 1.1.4 firmware? Well, Fring was developed by an Israeli company and it allowed making Skype calls on your iPhone using WiFi. The version we reviewed at the time was pretty buggy but the concept itself was awesome. You could even call contacts on Google Talk,...
