I came across a few posts today discussing a newly revised app called PhoneView, brought to us by a company called ECAMM. What i found interesting about this app is the impressive list of features that it boasts, without the need to Jailbreak your iPhone. The main feature that caught my attention was the ability...
Remember when we posted about the Live Traffic feature in Google Maps going "live" in Canada? This feature is pretty darn awesome, and many people have been wondering how the service actually works to find all the busy hot spots. The answer is quite simple, according to the Official Google Blog. Google wrote about this...
Way back in 2004, I got an invite to setup my first Gmail account. At the time I was suffering with the abysmal interface and slowness of Windows Hotmail. Well, after fully making the switch to Gmail, my life has changed for the better. IMAP, Push, and cloud computing with all those Google services make...

One of the silliest, but funnest apps I've used over the past week, has got to be "I Am T-Pain", by Smule. Smule are known for other great apps like "Ocarina" and "Leaf Trombone: World Stage". "I Am T-Pain", records your voice on it's own (Freestyle), or singing along to full on, karaoke-style tracks, and adds...
There have been a lot of innovative apps to come from the developers who host their stuff on Cydia, rather than the App Store. One such app, which I never really hear people talk about, is "Categories". It comes from BigBoss, and is a free download in Cydia. It's been around for a while, but...
If you're a heavy iPhone user, it's easy to fill up your homescreens with tonnes of apps. One major grip is moving an app from the last page to the main homescreen. You have to drag, drag, and drag again. It's very time consuming and painful. However, there is hope upon the horizon. It's in...
Hey, everyone. RoryPiper here. I've been away for a couple of weeks, but I'm back, with a quick, easy hack, that will change the "Slide to Unlock" text, on your lock screen. This will work on the iPhone or iPod Touch, but requires it to be jailbroken, with Winterboard installed. Basically, we are creating a...
Before I even begin this post, I want to make very clear that I know what I am about to talk about is old, old, old, old news. How do I know this? Because it has been around since June 17, 2009 and maybe even earlier. The reason I am posting this is because this...
We all love talking on our iPhones right? What I don't like though is paying the $0.35/minute long distance charges on the Rogers/Fido network. How to bypass paying through the roof long distance rates on Rogers/Fido? Easy! Install Skype on your iPhone if you haven't already and make calls with your data plan (or WiFi)!...
One of the recent smart phones to make iPhone owners slightly glance away from their magical devices for a second, has been the Palm Pre. The Pre is not available in Canada, yet, but is offered by Sprint in the US. It will be coming to Canada later this year, from Bell. Their web OS,...
Hey there everyone, RoryPiper here again, for another Sunday post. Over the last few weeks I've posted a couple of articles on customizing your iPhone. The process involves SSH'ing into your iPhone to place certain files in certain folders. Well, if that process confused you, I have a simpler solution: DiskAid. DiskAid is a shareware...
