Pandora Available for Windows Phones

I’m not big on Microsoft products in general, and my experience with Windows phone software (back when I had my HTC Universal, the Phone with a Thousand Names) was not a happy one. Power hunger, slow, poor memory management (okay; absolutely horrifically awful memory management); it was quite a disappointment given how much I really [...]

Tozai Announces Lode Runner Classic for iOS and Android

Maybe it’s just a coincidence but . . . the other day I followed a link to an article on The Verge about old video game (and pinball) arcades and how they’ve basically died off. But then today I got this announcement from Tozai about iOS and Android versions of Load Runner. Is it the [...]

Heart and Breath Rate Monitoring App for Android is Now Enhanced with Finger Pressed Feature

Not too long ago, I was overweight. Not fat–or at least, people kept insisting that I wasn’t fat–but for a guy who’s always been skinny, I felt fat. Unfortunately, I have a plate in neck and chronic post-surgical pain, so I’m “not allowed” to do anything genuinely strenuous. No soccer, ultimate frisbee, or even running [...]

Garmin Premium Navigation Apps 50% Off for Black Friday

Oh Black Friday, we can’t quit you! We’ve talked quite a bit about Apple’s mapping app and how lame it was at first. (I have no idea if it’s gotten any better; I’ve been avoiding it, quite frankly.) This naturally opes the door for other apps, and if what I’ve read is true, Garmin is [...]

ReturnGuru Puts Receipt Management at iOS and Windows Phone Users’ Fingertips

I don’t think they’re quite there yet, but I am very, very encouraged and pleased by the plethora of apps that have come out to help you shop. More, I’m very pleased by apps that provide you discounts, coupons, pointers to deals, and the like. Shopping is, for me, a major PITA, and anything that [...]

Angry Birds Star Wars is EVERYWHERE!!!

In case you didn’t hear, Angry Birds Star Wars releases today. For many who are tired of BOTH Angry Birds and Star Wars this represents a black hole of interest. But for everyone else, Rovio has made sure that they have made the game as widely available as possible to maximize sales while people are [...]

Award-winning Ant Raid now available on Windows Store

The probability that I will buy a Windows 8 phone or tablet is, to be honest, pretty low. I am not an Apple Fanboy–I was a UNIX guy for years and years, so I observed the Microsoft/Windows fanboy flamewars from the sidelines, as it were. But my personal experience with Windows on various PCs (for [...]

An iPhone User Tries Windows Phone, and the Adventure Continues

My “great experiment” is now wrapping up its first couple of weeks. I had planned to write this at the end of the first week, but the ride has been a bit more interesting than I expected. More on that shortly. To start, I have been a good boy and left my iPhone alone like [...]

First Impressions from a Long-Time iPhone User Trying a Windows Phone

Yesterday, the HTC Titan that Judie is loaning me for this experiment arrived on my doorstep. I opened the box she had packed it in, saw the AT&T HTC Titan box inside, and I actually stared at it for a few minutes pondering how this process was going to be a lot of fun. But [...]

Me on a Windows Phone? The “Hot” Place Must Have Frozen Over (sort of)!

I’ve been considering something for a while now. Something that, for me, was almost unthinkable even a short time ago. But now I want to mix things up a bit and try something new. So after some internal debate, I’ve decided to try a new smartphone platform. Although the Android platform never offered anything [...]

Tweet It! for Windows Phone Now Free until Tomorrow Evening

Yesterday was Khamidov Timur’s birthday. No, no, not the 14th century Turkic Mongol conqueror, but the modern developer of a very nice Twitter app named Tweet It! for Windows Phone, and you, dear reader, get the gift! For the next 36 hours or so his Tweet It! app is free! From the developer: Simple, but [...]

They May Be Slackers, but They Sure Are a Class Act

Online services go down. That’s a fact of life. Heck, even we have had our share of downtime but thankfully, as of last night, much of it is a thing of the past. Well it turns out that Slacker Radio ran into a bump in the road last month. From Friday, April 13 until Saturday, April [...]

No More Windows Phone App Shopping from Zune PC Suite

Well, it had to come sooner or later. As many users discovered the other day when Zune launched on their PCs, a message appeared asking users to restart the app to update the Zune client with new changes, Microsoft has officially nixed buying software apps for Windows Phone from the desktop PC Zune client. In [...]
