BlackBook is the Definitive Hip Urban Guide


BlackBook City Guides app icon

There are several good restaurant review apps in the AppStore (my personal favorite is UrbanSpoon), but they all suffer from clutter - the hip, trendy sushi spot that you really want to go to is listed right next to the neighborhood Jack in the Box. BlackBook solves this problem by focusing only on those restaurants [...]

AOL Radio app icon

If there was no competition, I would be tempted to recommend AOL Radio, the free internet Radio compilation app from America On Line. The app has one huge thing going for it — the price (Free). But its hardly the best Internet radio app out there. Like other Internet Radio Apps, AOL Radio is organized [...]

8 Million iPhones


According to the Mac Observer, a recent iPhone purchased in Sunnyvale, CA had the number "01 171400 6049xx x". By tracking the sequence of IMEIs, they can now say, with a fair degree of certainty, that as of Aug. 30, when BillH?s daughters bought that phone, Apple had manufactured at least 5,649,000 iPhone 3Gs. Added [...]
