iOS 5 is a Worthy Free Upgrade

Like many others, I was a bit underwhelmed by the announcement of the iPhone 4S the other day. There is some happier news though.

Now Live: Facebook’s iPad App

If you’re like me you always thought it purely ridiculous that Facebook did not have an iPad app. Instead you had to use some developer’s knock-off until the day when Facebook finally stopped fighting Apple and just release the darn thing. After all it’s been ready for release for quite some time now. Even its lead developer quit Facebook for a job at Google in frustration about Facebook’s hesitancy to release it. Now, that’s no longer here nor there. Facebook’s iPad app is finally live!

What Steve Jobs Means to Me

They call it a “magic pocket” because everything you need is with you all the time.

An App to Label Everything

I am terrible with names, I always have been. At blogging events I use my iPhone to take pictures of the new people I am meeting, but sadly I forget many of their names.

Is the iPad 2 Worth the Upgrade?

I purchased an iPad 2 last week and I have been putting it through the ringer deciding whether it is worth keeping. My final decision? I’m keeping it! Why? The number one reason is the speed.
