This past week I did a review of Documents to Go Premium. I really like that product – it does a wonderful job of working with MS Office documents. But a lot but my main use of it is as a PDF reader – really a secondary function of that program. So when I saw [...]

The Documents to Go Premium 3.1 for iPhone Review
The last few weeks have been interesting. We saw the release of a lot of new products during CES earlier this year. One of those products was the version 3.x of Documents to Go Premium from DataVis. Now, quickly on the heels of that, they have release version 3.1 which adds even more improvements including [...]
Learn a Little Irish for Free!
As a fan of language learning, I just discovered something very cool. Through today, iPhone and iPod Touch users can download Byki’s Irish language app from the App Store for free! Normally, most of the Byki apps are $7.99, so this is an excellent way to see how Byki approaches vocabulary and phrase learning [...]
Review: Memorize Words for Spanish for iPhone
Sometimes applications are big and splashy and exciting. Sometimes they are quite, unassuming, and just do what they do very well. But it’s not often you run into applications that don’t even really present you with a startup splash screen before going into the actual program. Memorize Words for Spanish isn’t flashy, it goes right into the [...]
Navigon MobileNavigator for Windows Phones Review
A few years back, I was a big fan of OnCourse Navigator version 5 running on Windows Mobile PDAs. The interesting things here is that OCN5 was really just the name for the North American release of Navigon MobileNavigator. And although OCN 5 wasn’t terribly stable, it was one of the best-looking navigators out there at the time. So then [...]
Quirky Cable Caps
Quirky, who use a community-driven process to determine which products to bring to market, and brings many products to market very quickly, have released their latest effort – Quirky Cable Caps. These caps, in 6 different styles, are designed to protect the (male) ends of USB cables and wrap up any excess cable as well. They [...]
4iThumbs Tactile Keyboard for iPhone
photo courtesy of cultofmac.com The idea is pretty clever: You take a thin clear plastic layer, much like a screen saver, and give it a few “bumps” to force your finger into the correct locations, and you will make typing on the iPhone a better experience. 4iThumbs has done just that. They released their Tactile [...]
PriceGrabber.com: Now In A Convenient App for iPhone
I admit it – I can be cheap sometimes. As such, I’ve used pricegrabber.com for years to compare prices on things – especially technology-based products. Now it seems that it’s made its way directly to the iPhone in the form of the PriceGrabber App for iPhone. The folks at PriceGrabber recognized that many people now use [...]
Mr. Puzzle Genius 3D Puzzle for iPhone / iPod Touch
It’s no mystery that I’m a fan of casual gaming. So I was excited when recently I was given a copy of Mr. Puzzle Genius 3D Puzzle for iPhone. This game looked like it might be a real challenge with possibly lasting play value. So did it hold up to the hype? Let’s take a [...]
Staying Motivated: Learning a Language on a Budget, Week Six

Navigon Expanding to More Platforms in North America
Navigon, who’ve seen great success with their iPhone navigation application, are now expanding by releasing versions of their software for Windows Mobile and Android (later in the spring). Those of us who have been playing around with GPS and navigation for a few years may remember that they actually used to have their product in [...]

Sygic Mobile Maps North America Gets an Update
Since its initial release, I’ve been suggesting that people watch the Mobile Maps products from Sygic. They had an interesting approach to navigation software and they seem very committed to making their products better. Now they’ve released Mobile Maps North America version 8.01 and refreshed the look and feel of parts of the app. Lets [...]
Review: Hotel Mogul for iPhone and iPod Touch
I like casual games. I’ve said that before here on Gear Diary and I’m sure I will say it again. I recently got to review Montezuma 2 from Alawar Games and now I’m back to review another Alawar title – Hotel Mogul.
Road Trip!: iGo My Way, Sygic Mobile, Navigon, and CoPilot Live
photo credit: Stuck in Customs Lately, there have been a number of updated releases in the iPhone navigation software market. With all these recently updated releases, I decided to try some of these new versions out this past week as I made my way up and back between the Alabama Gulf Coast, and southern Michigan – [...]
