Just like Google and Apple did, Microsoft has (apparently) also decided to give away free Windows Phone 7 phones to their employees, says Gizmodo based on an e-mail they’ve gotten their hands on. Out of the major US-based cellphone providers, only Palm (now owned by HP) didn’t give a free phone to their employees. Microsoft … Read more →
Robert Scoble (scobleizer) calls Flipboard a “killer app” for the iPad. I think killer app is relative. What may be a killer app for him and some thousands of other users, might be pretty boring to users like, say, my mum. Never the less, I gave Flipboard a chance, partly because it’s free and still … Read more →
Android has just joined in Apple’s App Store in the “>1 Billion Downloads”-club, if there was such a club. Apple’s App Store reached 3 billion downloads in in January 2010 so by now they are even more ahead, but Google and Android also seems to have a good thing going now that they’ve reached a … Read more →
Let’s face it. Apple has a rather strict policy about what kind of apps to let into their App Store. Apps that makes farting sounds are okay, but apps that let you enjoy – and spend/win a few bucks – playing casino games, are not okay. One gambling app has made it through to the … Read more →
Betfair recently announced that their app had been accepted by Apple into App Store. Before you start to cheer, you should know that the app is only available in the UK and you can’t just create a UK iTunes Store account and download it, because Betfair uses the built-in iPhone GPS to determine that you’re … Read more →
In just a few short years the iPhone has completely changed the way that people look at mobile phones. Apple’s smartphone introduced the world to the idea of downloadable applications which meant that phones were no longer home to static content, but could be updated with new software and features from third party developers at … Read more →
Tom’s Hardware is writing in an article today that Adobe might be gearing up to a lawsuit against Apple because of the whole Flash deal, more or less. While nothing is official yet, sources are citing that it could all happen within a few weeks. Earlier in the “iPhone vs Flash”-war, Adobe announced how their … Read more →
It took Apple 20 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes to approve Opera Mini in the App Store for iPhone, iPad Touch (and maybe iPad, in the future?), according to a countup timer on Opera’s website. I don’t think anybody – except Opera themselves – expected their browser to be approved, as Apple has previously … Read more →
Norwegian software company, Opera, now has a Opera Mini 5 version ready for the iPhone. It has already been submitted to Apple for approval in the App Store, but I wouldn’t hold my breath to see it being approved anytime soon. I seem to remember having read that Apple doesn’t want applications that duplicates functions … Read more →

GTA, Chinatown Wars, just hit the App Store and is available for iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s a $10 ‘investment’ that will guarantee you some interesting game time. I bought it and tested it – just so you wouldn’t have to in case it sucked. So far, it’s really great and worth every penny. In … Read more →
The world-known App Store from Apple, I think it’s safe to say by now, just reached 3 billion downloads. In April 2009, nine months after launch, App Store reached 1 billion downloads and now they just reached the 3 billion downloads mark. App Store is 18 months old now and with a total of 3 … Read more →
One of the most popular applications for iPhone and iPod Touch, Facebook, has just been updated to version 3.1 and now includes the long awaited Push Notifications. Receiving the push notifications on your iPhone does not necessarily require that you have “Push” enabled, as this usually drains your battery rather quick. I have mine set … Read more →
The developer behind VernX contacted me to get my opinion on his first iPhone game. Long story short, I really enjoyed testing it, so I decided to write up a quick post about it and share it with you guys. VernX is an original action puzzle game. The goal of the game is to guide … Read more →
FIFA 10 for iPhone was released on the App Store earlier this month for $9.90 or DKK 59 if you’re buying through the danish iTunes Store like I did (that’s $11.50). I tried it out just so you don’t have to – in case it sucked 🙂 Here’s what I think about FIFA 10 for … Read more →
