iSkin solo, solo FX, and solo FX SE iPhone cases

Science Glossary for iPhone is Not Recommended
One of the things I liked about this app was the glossary of scientific terms. I liked that more than just a collection of random facts because random facts, while seemingly impressive in some circles, don’t really stem from a deep understanding.

Verizon's MiFi: The Best iPhone (and Mobile Mac!) Accessory
The SpeedThe first thing I’ll say is that the speed isn’t really the most important feature of this device for me, then I’ll go on to explain why I’m wrong in that assertion. In comparison to your DSL or Cable connection, the MiFi will almost always lose, but it almost always wins against AT&T’s 3G…

Special Report: Living with iPhone 3GS (AKA Episode #88)
It turns out the delay may turn out to be a blessing. You see, when I wrote my (much shorter) review for the Houston Chronicle I had only been using the new iPhone 3GS for a couple of days. And while I still agree with everything I said in that review, I now know a…

iPhone Reversi Games: A Bunch of Losers
Unfortunately, none of these apps are worth their cost. And I say this knowing that several of the versions cost nothing at all. To be fair, I didn’t assess all the different Reversi games in the App Store; rather, I selected 4 that appeared to be representative. Perhaps I overlooked some gem. But I doubt…

Let me begin with this: I think the iPhone is the coolest and most useful piece of tech gear I’ve used in this decade. Nothing has stirred my geeky juices the way the iPhone has since… well, since my first Mac in 1985. And, just as it was with that first Mac, I’m doing everything…
