I downloaded Bonfire Media’s
“Pocket Auctions for eBay” night and instantly fell in love with it.
Upon opening it up, I’m greeted with options like Deals, My eBay, and
Scan. Each of these features would make a half decent eBay application
on its own, but when combined in one program, it adds up to one of the
best Android titles yet. It’s no surprise when you read the “About” information, you’d see that they are a member of the eBay developers program and have won awards for... Continue reading...

You can finally learn the name of the song playing every 40 minutes on the loop at work, or playing in the car every 10 minutes! When we first opened Shazam we had two options, “Tag Now” and “My Tags”. It is a very simple but effective design.
The first option, “Tag Now” takes you to the listening part, it immediately starts listening for about 20 seconds then it analyzes the clip of music
and tries to find a match. We found that it is very important to have a
clear sound to analy... Continue reading...

Finding new music and old favorites is a breeze with imeem. The design and layout of this application were very easy to
navigate. Everything felt intuitive and we were able to get around
with no problems. I started out by creating a new user account and
found that a short and sweet process with no hiccups. Once logged in,
I was greeted with options to listen to Spotlight (new and notable
artists) or Top 100 (hottest songs on imeem). I tried both out and found a few artists I knew as well ... Continue reading...

Clean, easy to navigate interface makes it stand out from all the other bill splitting and tip calculator applications out there.
Everybody has played with tip
calculators at one time or another, regardless of platform. Going out
to dinner with a handful of friends used to be a headache when it came
time to splitting up the bill, with or without factoring in tips. Exitloop’s Ti... Continue reading...

Packed with shortcuts to many useful features, this is a must have for your desktop. The latest version of the app we played with has an immense amount of features. Users have the ability to manage GPS, brightness, wifi, airplane mode and more at the touch of their finger. There’s also a shortcut to ringer modes, Bluetooth, and screen timeout. If you travel in and out of 3G markets with T-Mobile, you’ll be pleased to know that you can mana... Continue reading...

Google may have recently killed off a few projects these last couple of
weeks, but they’re still unveiling innovative, new ones all the time. They've done it again
the announcement of Latitude, the location broadcasting service that combines Google Maps with GPS and cell phone triangulation.
Want to know where your wife is so you can start dinner?
This is the service that will help. Computer-based iGoogle shows a map
with the whereabouts of people who have opted in to location
broadcastin... Continue reading...

Everyone knows the Dummies books. They’ve been around for years now and
chances are good you’ve paged through one at least once. I received a copy of T-Mobile G1 for Dummies
last week for review. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical as
to what I might find in the book, assuming I would know pretty much
everything in it. I was wrong. The books has a lot of good info. I found in the book very well written with an easy-to-digest style.
Chris Ziegler (author, from Engad... Continue reading...

SMS Popup is a great app that doesn’t get
the recognition it deserves. Its not on any of those “must
have” lists that other sites and magazines put together and we can’t
figure out why. It’s loaded with features that enhance your messaging
options and looks better than the Google stuff that comes
loaded with Android.
It can be frustrating to have to keep checking your phone... Continue reading...
