If you’re serious about your iPhone and iPod Touch gaming, you might want to check out this new Helix grip from PosiMotion. This should help you out with those driving and flying games that use the accelerometer.

Remember the days before text messages when wrong numbers were quickly recognized (because of the voice on the other end of the line) and one party responds, “Sorry, wrong number”? That’s generally the end of it without much more fanfare.
Nowadays, we have text messages that afford more lasting evidence of the slip up. When I get these, I’ll usually just dismiss them, and on occasion I’ll have a little fun with the sender.
Today was one of those days where I was just going to dismiss the message, but thought I’d better send a reply to maintain an evidentiary chain in the event my wife picked up my phone and saw the message: “Thinking about you. Love you.” [click to continue…]

After its losing efforts at a preliminary injunction, AT&T has decided to drop the lawsuit against Verizon. Who knows? Maybe AT&T saw the writing on the wall, or simply realized that the truth really does hurt a little.
Regardless, both companies are pressing forward with commercials attacking the other’s services. While AT&T has brought in Luke Wilson to help clean up its 3G image by claiming that AT&T is really a better service, Verizon is still using AT&T’s 3G coverage map as the star of the show.
It just seems like AT&T can’t catch a break though. Consumer Reports just released its findings on customer satisfaction for cell phone services. The survey covers 26 U.S. cities and in 19 of those, AT&T was dead last – with Verizon taking the top spot in the same locales.
Yeah. The truth hurts.

AT&T lost its preliminary injunction. The judge said that just because the ads might be misunderstood “doesn’t mean they’re misleading.”
As if a silly law suit wasn’t enough, AT&T has tried to trump Verizon by telling us that its service is better. AT&T even brought in Luke Wilson to try to convince us.
AT&T even set up a silly new website, which carries a tagline: “When you compare, there’s no comparison. AT&T. A better 3G experience.” – truthabout3G.com
Sure.

No, really. The iPhone can now blow out candles.
You guessed it . . . an app for that.
How’s it do it? The speaker pushes the air at the high frequency and makes you look like an idiot. It’s a 2-for-1 app.

AT&T recently sued Verizon over Verizon’s cheeky “There’s a Map for That” commercials, like the one below:
AT&T’s lawsuit claims that Verizon is misleading consumers with the competing 3G and is crying foul over the lack of display for AT&T’s EDGE coverage, which is nowhere near as fast as 3G. If you watch the above commercials with this dispute in mind, you can see that Verizon clearly labels the maps as “3G Coverage” maps. AT&T doesn’t think that’s enough though. [click to continue…]
