I decided to start small with the free version, but I had my doubts about how advertising on the iPhone would disturb my playing pleasure. Turns out, the [...]
I upgraded my Mac over the weekend and finally installed Leopard. The whole process was simple and went off without a hitch — I thought.

Like the NYTimes app, Bloomberg features a bottom menu bar and a top content [...]
Flipbook is a fun app that is much more sophisticated than it lets on. For an iPhone app with such a low price, Flipbook contains an incredible level of features -- color and brush size controls, layers and onion-skinning, undo, the ability to load pics from and save images to your photo library.
