A few months ago we told you about RockLive, the development firm that specializes in teaming up with sports figures to create iPhone games. Some of their previous work includes popular titles like Mike Tyson’s Main Event and Chad Ochocinco’s Mad Chad.
Now the company has joined forces with world renowned soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. The $132 million dollar striker is known for tearing up the pitch for Spain’s Real Madrid F.C., and now he’s taking on the iPhone. Read More
Apple recently introduced Photo Stream, the iCloud service that keeps your photos in sync across your iOS devices and desktop computers.
The problem with Photo Stream is the distinct lack of video support. Apple and the carriers don’t want to be sending huge video files over their networks. With the iPhone 4S now recording 1080p video, that’s a lot of data going over 3G.
Thankfully, Apple has given developers an API so they can get their teeth into iCloud’s storage servers, and that is where one developer saw its chance. Video Stream offers a way to keep video files in sync across multiple devices, just as Photo Stream does for images…
Let me preface this by saying that ESRA will be a disappointment to those who are expecting it to compete with Siri.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let’s talk more about this jailbreak app. ESRA stands for Experimental Speech Response Application, and as you can see from the video, it more than lives up to the “experimental” portion of the ESRA acronym… Read More
It started as a Kickstarter project and it received enough interest and funding to turn into a reality. The Kogeto Dot is a nifty little peripheral for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S that allows you to shoot 360 degree panoramic video.
It’s the perfect accessory for recording sporting activities and pretty much anything that involves action. Take a gander at our hands-on video review of the Kogeto Dot… Read More
I’ve been playing with Path 2.0 since it went live in the App Store late last night. The release has been making waves in the blogosphere over the last 24 hours, and for good reason. Path is a fresh, innovative, beautiful take on social networking, and many apps have much to learn from its philosophy and interface.
You may be wondering why you need Path, and honestly, you probably don’t. But there’s the chance that you’ll fall in love with Path, and the first thing to win you over will undoubtedly be its pixel-perfect design. Read More
Words With Friends has undoubtedly become one of the most popular cross-platform mobile games over the last few years. The Scrabble-like title allows users to pair up with both friends and strangers to see who has the biggest vocabulary.
The game follows all of the typical word-game guidelines. Each player gets 7 lettered-tiles, and garners points for using them to make words on a playing board. Typically, only real “dictionary” words are playable. That is, unless you have this tweak… Read More
Every now and then an app comes out that just makes sense. Most apps have their quirks, but few are able to, in the words of Steve Jobs, “just work.”
We told you about Instacast when it originally launched on the iPhone, and Instacast HD has just been released for the iPad. If you like to listen to podcasts, Instacast is the app you’ve been waiting for. Read More
Today I’m reviewing a personal assistant for the iPhone, and its name isn’t Siri.
Alfred is your intelligent assistant for wining, dining, and generally having a good time. The app answers questions like, “What should I eat?” and “Where should I party?” Alfred learns over time, and pretty soon you’ll find that the charming little robot knows more about yourself than you do.

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m terrible at Minecraft. In fact, I’d never played it until just a few hours ago when I downloaded it on my iPhone.
Needless to say, you Minecraft experts will probably find this video a bit humorous, perhaps even a bit appalling.
Nevertheless, I’ve put myself out there in order for you to see what Minecraft – Pocket Edition is all about. Check out our video inside… Read More
For over a year and half, the iPad has undoubtedly been the king of all tablets. With virtually no competition, it wasn’t too hard for Apple’s tablet to eat a large chunk of the market in a space where no one else seems to get it.
Enter Amazon and the Kindle Fire, a tablet running a version of Android completely tailored to Amazon’s needs, so much so that it doesn’t have anything to pinpoint it as an Android device but the OS name.
The Kindle Fire is officially launching tomorrow, and, as usual, a few tech gurus have had access to the tablet a few days before everyone else. The reviews are coming in, and it’s not as pretty as you’d expect… Read More
