Yesterday, CBC News unveiled a new website redesign and along with it came a new app for the iPhone and iPad!  I'm a huge fan of CBC News so I am glad they're joining many of their fellow news agencies in Canada with an app. The app contains a special edition of The National made specifically...

A fresh, new app from the aptly named "The App Boutique" for my peeps in Toronto: Next Streetcar. While I personally don't ride the Red Rocket, I know many iPhone riders that do (well...one anyway!) and this app will definitely come in handy. Using the built-in GPS, the app finds your closest TTC streetcar stop...

IntoNow is one of the coolest apps I've run into so far. It's been making noise for a while now as the "Shazam for television". If you're familiar with how Shazam works, then you know what I'm talking about. IntoNow will identify live TV (from the last five years) and provide you with immediate information...

Google recently introduced a new security feature to help protect your account even further: 2-step verification.

Boxcar, my favourite app for managing iOS notifications, can also be managed on the web. If you haven't used their online service yet, it's an excellent service for keeping track of your notifications without grabbing your iPhone. The online service is simple. You just sign in, and everything appears in your browser just like it...

We have just received some exclusive updates from Mark. Take a look at the following pics: Here's what we can expect: About WOTA:...

Two of the best turn by turn iPhone GPS apps are currently on sale--but not for long. TomTom is selling for $39.99 ($20 off), and Navigon (my favourite) is selling for $29.99 ($30 off). It comes down to preference with both of these apps, but I've tried both and Navigon clearly is the winner. For...

Two notable updates today: iBooks and Skype for iPhone. If you've been having issues with iBooks, the update should fix bugs and have performance updates. As for Skype, the interesting thing here is you can now do video calls. Umm...yes, that's right--video calls to TV. Skype to Skype video calls already exist for iPhone 4...
