Just Another Geek Site

Scratch C@rd

Posted on 07. Mar, 2010 by Alli Flowers.

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.

Losing the love and starting a new “affair”

Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Alli Flowers.

Diana McDonough was once a staunch Palm user, but has started flirting with many other hand-held operating systems and devices. Read what she has to say!

Well, I’ve had my Palm Pre for five months now.  After that amount of time, here’s how I feel about the device.

All in all, I LOVE WebOS.  It’s [...]

Parental update – started looking at VZW cause Dad noticed the Droid Does commercials. I think they’d like VZW, but not the device. Mom really wants an iPhone. Little reception in the house with AT&T, perhaps they’ll wait on AT&T’s femtocell. Holding pattern.

TaKePhOnE on your iPhone

Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by Alli Flowers.

I get very excited when I see one of my favorite developers bringing a favorite app from my Palm days to the iPhone. So I was, of course, thrilled when I got the newsletter from shsh software back in June mentioning the iPhone version of TaKePhOnE. I spoke briefly to Shimon Shnitzer, the developer, who [...]
