I'm hoping that everyone is as excited to read this, as I was to use this app. I'd like to dedicate this app review to everyone of us nerds who can't go a day without using Photoshop! This app review is of the Photoshop.com application available on both the iPhone and iPod touch. Now, before we get started, I should note that this app has a partner in crime. It's not the full fledged Photoshop CS4 that comes in handy daily. In my opinion, this app is more for those editing quick pictures. To vie...

Gowalla is an excellent social app that allows you to check in to locations all around the world. In each location, you also have the opportunity to drop and pick up items to possibly become a founder of that location. It connects up to popular social media networks also to share your location with others.

I think everybody has had the dream of being able have their own radio station where they could play just the best songs and drain out the excess.

This is a MUST-HAVE application for not just music lovers, but for those who don't buy or can't afford using iTunes. If you're looking f...

Review – Urban Daddy

There are times that I often find myself in a bind when trying to decide what I should eat for dinner. Often times I just want some dessert if I’m alone, or with a date. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know the big city as well as some do, but the app I have here certainly helps getting used to things. Aside from a bunch of great ideas, I’m really digging the name… * drumroll * this installment is featuring Urban Daddy!
Urban Daddy is an app that literally fell in to my lap. I w...
