I started out gaming at the early age of 5, but soon enough most of my friends gamed in one form or another, it’s the most regular thing in the world, right? A kid playing around with videogames, back then it felt like the most natural thing in the world, but even then I [...]

The beginning of the countdown has traditionally started at the end of October each year with the celebration of Halloween. As has become tradition in the Apple App Store, a special Halloween Apps and Games tab has appeared on the Featured page of the iPhone app store listing the top apps and [...]

Post written by Jonah Balfour I’ll start this post by saying that I am one of the faithful. I’m an Apple fan if there ever was one and I’m one of those people that give Apple fans their reputation as cult-like followers, worshiping at the altar of Steve Jobs. I have never owned a non-Apple computer. I started using Apple computers when I was a kid and took my first steps into the world of [...]

Since everyone’s making their top ten lists of the year, I thought I’d make my own top ten iPhone Apps of 2010 list, so here goes: 1) Facebook – I couldn’t live without the Facebook application installed on my iPhone 2) Viber – the application which enables me to make free calls to other Viber users over 3G and WiFi with superior sound quality 3) Instagram – My favorite photo sharing app. The guy who [...]

(Guest Post by Ilan Peer) Since I don’t have an iPhone, it rarely happens that I update my location status, or tweeting where i hang out. To top this all off, I don’t even fully utilize this cool app that I’m writing about! Since it really caught my attention, I wanted to share my thoughts on foursquare – an application that allows you explore your city – has unlocked a certain code for location based service [...]

(Disclosure Blonde 2.0 has cooperated together with Beck’s on this project) When done properly, a branded iPhone app can achieve brand international exposure for relatively little investment. However, if not done properly, the brand will suffer from bad criticism and the money will go to waste. Take for example – the useless iPhone application made by Taco Bell.

One sure fire way to tell if one brand trumps another, is if it receives more buzz when a new product comes out, or in this case, predicted to come out. And one swift sniff of air these days is all you need, to smell the sweet, juicy news that’s about to explode, because where there’s an Apple, there’s a buzz. Apple’s WWDC 2009 begins today and here’s what we think is in store. It [...]

WorldMate is huge in the mobile world -it first started as a Palm OS app back in 2000. Then, as today, they realized that “travel = mobile” and so it made sense to build a mobile application for travelers. WorldMate had an innovative approach and built what was the industry’s first on-device portal with a myriad of travel content for online/offline use. WorldMate was so successful that many PDA/Smartphone makers including Nokia, Palm, HP, and [...]
