Just for Fun iPhone 5 Case Review  

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, case, iPhone, iphone 5, review    Posted date:  May 16, 2013  |  No comment



Today we're looking at the Toonish Black Cat iPhone 5 case from EZ Buys Direct. EZ Buys Direct has loads of fun accessories for smartphones and tablets. I must admit, I like the Toonish Black Cat...because he looks like my black cat.   Notice the resemblance? Unfortunately, Jet is far more expensive, and far less protective than any case. It's also worth noting, you don't have to feed the Toonish Black Cat iPhone 5 case.   As you can see from the above photos, this case is made from a thick, durable soft gel silicon that will really cushion your phone. The fit is less...

Smarter Cases for Smarter Stuff – Case of the Week Review  

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, app, case, iPad, iPhone, QR code    Posted date:  May 16, 2013  |  No comment



Are you findable? If your answer is not an immediate "yes," then you probably aren't. So what does that mean? I'm glad you asked!       Currently available for: · iPhone 5 · iPhone 4/4S · Galaxy S3 · iPad 3 · iPad Mini Findables are a unique case concept. As you can see from the photos above (iPad mini on the left, iPhone 5 on the right), these cases come with QR codes. When you get your case, you scan the code, either with the Findables app (available in iTunes), or with any QR scanner you already use. The Findables app doesn't do much more than that though. It would be nice...

Review: Kumo Lumo – game for iPad and iPhone  

Posted by: Edward    Tags:  apps, games, iOS, iPad, iPhone, review    Posted date:  May 12, 2013  |  No comment



Cloud storage and cloud computing are very hot topics nowadays in Information Technology industry. However I like also other kinds of clouds: those that bring rain. Yes, I am one of these people who likes cloudy, rainy regions like Seattle or London. That's why I also like this game - Kumo Lumo - a 2D arcade scroller where you play a character "Lumo" that is a cloud! Not really cloud computing related but a cloud! This is a freemium game - you can download and play it for free but you can buy items if you want to speed up gaming. It is also very mature and also supports joystick as control....

Review: newsblur – the Best Google Reader Replacement  

Posted by: Edward    Tags:  app, Google reader, iOS, iPad, iPhone, newsblur, rss, web app    Posted date:  May 3, 2013  |  No comment



On July 1st, 2013, Google will “retire” Google Reader service. This news item has electrified many RSS lovers, developers, and startups, and there are now over 100 (sic!) RSS readers either already released or in development. It’s new gold rush, I tell ya! Many replacements of Google Reader are smartphone apps only, and some others are web apps only. Here I am presenting Newsblur, a replacement that is available both as a web app and a smartphone apps. Newsblur is free with some limitations (up to 64 RSS feeds, etc), but I have purchased the commercial version ($24 a year) to avoid those...

Case of the Week Review – Trident Apollo 2-in-1 Snap-on Case for iPhone 5  

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, Apple, case, iPhone, review, Trident    Posted date:  April 26, 2013  |  No comment



This week's offering from MobileFun.com is Trident's Apollo 2-in-1 Snap-on case for the iPhone 5. Having used Trident's Cyclops case on my iPhone 4S, I was anxious to check out the Apollo.   As you can see from the photo above, the colors are bright and really grab your attention. The backplate is interchangeable, so you can have a monochrome case, or a two-tone case. (This case comes in a variety of color combinations including Navy/Orange, Green/Blue, and Red/Black.) In addition to the case itself, you get a screen protector and cleaning cloth in the box. The back plate pops...

Case of the Week – Casemate Glam (review)  

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, case, casemate, iOS, iPhone    Posted date:  April 20, 2013  |  No comment



I usually need at least a week to decide if I really like a case, but I fell in love with the Casemate Glam at first sight. But not for the reason you might think. Yes, it's sparkly. And what girl (or grown woman) doesn't like a little bling. As a matter of fact, I showed off this case to two girlfriends at dinner tonight, and they were both wowed. It is stunning - I can't deny it. But as I said, it wasn't the superficial that I fell in love with. When I pulled the Glam from the package, the back was facing away, and what I saw was the inside of the case. Spongey soft protection....

Review: Workflowy – the best outliner for web and iOS  

Posted by: Edward    Tags:  apps, iOS, iPad, iPhone, lists, notes, outlines, review    Posted date:  March 31, 2013  |  No comment



While neither Google Docs nor Evernote are a full-featured outlining applications, it is possible to create outlines with them. However, outlines are better handled in specialised outliners. Recently David Winer, with Kyle Shank, formed LLC in Delaware and released their first product - web based outliner LittleOutliner (made with HTML5 technology). Although it's not bad, (has text formatting, no need to log-in), it is just a first effort (no sync between computers, saving just locally, no support for mobile devices). While I was looking at comments about this new hobby of David Winer, I noticed...

Review: AirPhones – app for streaming audio from PC/Mac to iPad/iPhone  

Posted by: Edward    Tags:  airphone, apps, iOS, iPad, iPhone, mac, pc streaming, review, Windows    Posted date:  March 23, 2013  |  No comment



I am reviewing this app just because I love it. From time to time I would search for apps that would enable me to stream audio from my PC to my iPad, but all I could find were apps that played media (like video/audio files) remotely. What I needed, however, was playback of system sound - whatever it is at given moment - on my iPad. In other words I needed an app that would send any audio that is played on my PC to my iPad. And after a long search I have found it - it's called "AirPhones" - an iPhone app (that also works on iPad) and that requires server side on PC or Mac. You might think: why the heck...

Sprinkle game for iOS and Android – review  

Posted by: Edward    Tags:  Android, Apple, game, iPhone, review    Posted date:  February 13, 2013  |  No comment



This game for iOS and Android is special because it realistically simulates the way water works. The purpose of this game is to play fireman by directing water flow from a water canon towards fires: you can adjust the height and angle from which you sprinkle water towards fire. This game is very addictive because the flow of water feels real and because the puzzles to solve are fun. Disclaimer: I liked this game before learning that it was made by 2 Swedish guys from Sweden (and I am very biased as Sweden is one of my 3 most favorite countries in Europe - for me "Made in Sweden" is equivalent...
