Falling short…
Since I got my iPad, the only thing I’ve really lamented is it’s lack of GPS and 3G. Being the Wifi (read: cheaper) model, I had to make do with WiFi only. As usual, my tendency to over-analyse and get the most out of anything I have got the better of me, and I [...]

Following on from yesterday’s post – it’s been kind of interesting getting a feel for what all this Lomo stuff is about. I don’t know what it is that draws me to the Lomography style exactly… I think it must be the lack of any fixed rules, and the way it captures bits of life [...]

Today, I had a happy accident. Today, I accidentally (re)stumbled across the art of Lomography. Today, I finally found a genuine use for my iPhone camera. Today, I had a ‘Eureka’ moment.
Let me explain…
Photography is an art. In the end, it’s all about the aesthetics. Beautiful photos opportunities rear their heads in the most unlikely [...]

Finally, the official Geocaching.com iPhone app is available on the iPhone App Store. It costs a grand total of £5.99 in the UK ($9.99 in the US). The app promises to be the first to link directly into the Geocaching.com website and bring you real-time cache details based on your current GPS coordinates (unlike the [...]

Just a quick post about a nice piece of software I got for the iPhone today. It’s called RunKeeper, and is an application that uses the iPhones built-in GPS to track you on a run or cycle ride or similar). It works out your distance, average speed, and graphs your elevation, as well as plotting [...]

After the last post I made, Geocaching.com have announced that they have submitted a Geocaching app to the Apple Appstore. It’s currently awaiting approval, but should be available soon. It will cost $9.99 (probably £5.99 in the UK). It basically does something very similar to iGeocaching, but allows you to do it online, so is [...]

With my relatively recent aquisition of an iPhone (well, last few months anyway), I’ve found that I’ve been accessing www.geocaching.com a fair bit on it whilst out and about.
Those who’ve tried geocaching will probably know that one of the major limiting factors to ‘on-the-go’ caching is accessing the information about each cache. The original idea was [...]

Here we go… This is my first post from my iPhone. Now I’m up to WordPress v6.1, I can use the iPhone WordPress app to post quickly while I’m out and about. Can even take pics and attach them directly! The wonders of modern technology etc etc.
Meanwhile, I’ve still got to get the [...]

Seems like the IS someone developing a Geocaching app for the iPhone.

At the moment it’s quite basic, with no GPX or LOC support, which means you have to enter coordinates manually. Once it has support for those files, and support for saving cache details etc, then it could turn ito a nice little app.  I’ll [...]

Well… it hasn’t taken long to post the first recommendation for an iPhone App (approximately 2 minutes actually!). This is definitely something I’d say is a ‘killer’ app for the iPhone 3G.
SimplifyMedia is a way of sharing your entire iTunes (or Winamp or Rhythmbox) library over your internet connection to your mobile devices such [...]

Right… I’ve kept quiet about this for quite a while now, as I wanted to have a few months of use under my belt for this piece of kit before i posted about it.
There’s been more stuff on the web recently about the iPhone (2G and 3G) than I care to think about. The [...]
