The iPhone is capable of many things, thanks to the amazing App Store. Here's something that we can expect to see in the future--accepting credit card payments with the iPhone! The demo you'll see below the Square iPhone Payment System (prototype) as demonstrated by Mr. Digg himself, Kevin Rose. How it works is a dongle...

Every time I take a screenshot to review an iPhone App or to broadcast my iPhone's homescreen on the blog, I always get questions about the little icons I have in my iPhone's status bar. You might have seen them too, and been wondering where they are from. The tweak is called Notifier and it's...

I  have an updated game review of StickWars for iPhone: Now updated with OpenFeint. You can read Gary's previous review here: StickWars and Flight Control Review for the iPhone Do you remember the days back in school when you started drawing your first stickmen? Or maybe it was just in general anything to do with...

Just a quick note out there for those people using Skype on their iPhone. If you haven't already downloaded Skype, it's one of my favourite iPhone apps. Why? Because it saves me MONEY! How? By installing the tweak 3G Unrestrictor via jailbreaking, I can now use my data plan to make calls over 3G. This...

It's January now and you'd say the Christmas holidays are over, right? Well not just yet! Today I have a review of a Christmas game which, well you wouldn't expect Christmas to be this way. Bloody, gory and more! BloodyXmas is what the name sounds like. You slice, dice and smash! Its a 3D survival...

We recently posted about the success of the ScoreMobile iPhone app in both Canada and the USA. Well, recently TSN quietly launched their own iPhone app and after a few minutes with this app, it's definitely a keeper. TSN iPhone App Is Jam Packed Full of Features Upon launching the app, there is a clean...

You know that amazing feeling you get when you're using a well made and polished iPhone app? I had that hunch the moment I downloaded the ScoreMobile iPhone app (way back in Oct 2008). The ScoreMobile app is courtesy of The Score television network, one of my favourite sports networks on TV (Love Court Surfing...

Remember when we blogged about Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search for the iPhone? At the time these apps were only available for people with US iTunes accounts--effectively shutting out Canadians once again (like when Skype first launched). That has all changed as now Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search finally hit the Canadian App Store a couple...

There are times when we need to all band together and drop what we're doing to help others. Sometimes we take what we have for granted and our "worries" are nothing compared to what's happening on the ground in Haiti. After the destruction caused by that 7.0 magnitude earthquake, it's time for us to step...

iPhone users lack Adobe's Flash on the iPhone. Without Flash, the "full" internet is not quite on your iPhone just yet as streaming video websites won't load properly (we did get a choppy version through the jailbroken app iMobileCinema). We still don't know when Flash will come to the iPhone. Why not? Some argue that...

Remember when the so called "iPhone killer", the notorious Blackberry Storm, was supposed to dominate the touchscreen smartphone landscape? Well, that project turned out to be a major case of FAIL on RIM's part. Anyways, iPhone users had some fun with a theme that changed your iPhone into a Blackberry. Well now, Blackberry users who...

The rumour mill has started regarding the "next" iPhone to grace our grubby hands this summer. We all know that Apple's ability to keep every detail secret until the last minute is what gets us excited leading up the the release. Apple is known to slowly release features (*cough* copy and paste *cough*) with regards...
