Today I’ve chosen to write about one of my personal favourite apps, Beatwave by collect3. I’ve gone through many music apps but none are as easy or enjoyable as this one. I’m sure I won’t be the only one finding it incredibly easy to make pleasing beats and tunes on your iPhone or iPad. The...

This week, Telus has officially fired up its HSPA+ network in Saskatchewan. Residents of Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Lloydminster, Yorkton, Weyburn, and Estevan now have access to the Telus HSPA+ network. As seen by the previous Telus HSPA+ coverage map in Saskatchewan, the roll out is not completely finished...

With the push notifications update, Gmail messages (both personal/custom domain) and calendar alerts are pushed to the home screen as soon as they arrive as a pop-up or icon badge. The alert system can further be refined to only...

This week, Google confirmed that it will release Google Goggles for iPhone by the end of 2010. David Petrou, head of Goggles, committed to having the iPhone version of Goggles out by end of 2010.

This month, an Apple patent application that has been made public indicates that the company is looking to identify "unauthorized" users of iOS devices.

Specifically Apple details how facial, voice, or...

Until I get my free Case from Apple, I was still using my iPhone 4 naked, and was getting a bit worried about it, after all it is glass. Sure, it's supposed to be 'super magical' scratch and break resistant glass, but, still I didn't want to risk damaging something I practically camped overnight to...

The multitasking feature found in iOS 4 is great to quickly switch between apps without having to actually close the app. However, Apple's multitasking always seemed to lack that Apple finesse. After recently jailbreaking my iPhone 4, I came across Multifl0w, an app that adds a great multitasking interface to iOS 4 (or iOS 3.2...

Hey, everyone! It's been a while since I've done a theme tutorial, so I thought I'd show you a quick an easy one today. If you've upgraded your device to iOS 4, you're probably enjoying the new multitasking and folder features. iOS4 uses the same background for both, and is easily changed, if you have...

One of the large aspects missing in this year's iPhone launch was available accessories. When the iPhone 4 launched in Canada, aside from a very limited number of retailers, the only way to get a case was either online or through Apple's case app for iPhone 4. While cases are nice, as most provide style...

As we lined up overnight on the eve of the iPhone 4 launch in Canada, we were sponsored by our friends at ZAGG. They graciously donated a tonne of free invisibleSHIELD swag that we gave away to people in line, via word of mouth and twitter. People really enjoyed getting free invisibleSHIELDs for their iPhone...
