by Brenda Stokes on July 29, 2008

If you are a lover of Vegas-style casino slots, then Lucky 7 Slots is the app for you. It’s only $1.99 and helps you satisfy that gambling urge from anywhere right on your iPhone.

by Brenda Stokes on July 29, 2008

If you’re like me, you get a bit annoyed when every time you try to sync your iPhone it tries to back it up. And this would be fine if it didn’t take an hour. Seriously. Backing up my iPhone took about 30 minutes today, which, if you ask me, is just a little bit too long. It’s so long that I’ve simply cancelled the back up on occasion. Not ... continued »

by Vincent Nguyen on July 25, 2008

United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) just released a large document detailing "Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics".  There are lots and lots of information in this patent (#20080174570) but only one particular section that really caught my eye.  It has to do with one feature many of us have been wishing for on the iPhone --- support for Flash content.

Aurora Feint is Back (That Was Fast)

by Brenda Stokes on July 25, 2008

Remember how I said yesterday that my favorite iPhone game, Aurora Feint had been removed from the iTunes App Store over security concerns? Well, it's back folks!
