Many moons ago, we offered a video look at Earthcomber’s iPhone-specific web site. The service has been around since 2005 and supports many device platforms, but up to now hasn’t been a native application on the iPhone.

Mouse Gesture app launcher, free today only. Good for Tablet PCs?

Giveaway of the Day is featuring a Windows application launcher today and normally, I'd skip this type of utility over. What caught my eye though is that the software brings up your customized application list through a mouse gesture. I presume it would work with a Tablet PC and pen...

Letterbox gives Mac Mail three vertical columns

One of the Outlook views I sorely miss when on my MacBook Pro is the three vertical column view. It's a personal preference to be sure, but I like having my folder list on the left, Inbox flowing down the middle and my preview pane on the right... especially when...

3G speed tests with TCP Optimizer: 15% to 31% faster

Last week I noticed that the EV-DO speeds I was seeing on the Lenovo X301 were noticeably faster than I've seen with other devices. Considering the review unit I have has integrated WiFi and WiMAX, I can't say that I'm surprised that the notebook is optimized for speed. However, I'm...

Rebuild an iTunes library from an iPhone or iPod with Senuti

While James has been sharing his new MacBook trackpad experiences, I've actually been doing some maintenance on my MacBook Pro. Most of it was cleaning up stray files, removing applications I no longer use and wiping out local data that's stored in the cloud. I also moved my iTunes library...
