Has it been tarnished with initial iPhone 4 problems? Has it! Consumer Reports: We reached this conclusion after testing all three of our iPhone 4s (purchased at three separate retailers in the New York area) in the controlled environment of CU’s radio frequency (RF) isolation chamber.

Not too long ago, I told you about iFavorites. Its developer has now released another app, that while nowhere as useful, can provide some entertainment - especially if you have children in your lives. Scratch C@rd allows you to create a personalized greeting card on your iPhone. This, in itself, is not terribly unique or unusual. Themes for your cards include love, holiday, billboard, invitation, and special. You simply choose the format you want (I've chosen one under "special" in the screenies below), and add your own photo and text. Next comes the part that makes Scratch C@rd different...

The short version - it's the iPhone's answer to Blackberry Messenger. You can send messages to, and receive messages from all your contacts who also have WhatsApp installed on their iPhones. It's really very clever, and works...
