I have seen Final Freeway in the App Store for a while and just glanced by. When looking at apps to review this week I felt a little nostalgic and thought I would give this little gem a spin. The result? Well, if you enjoy old-school arcade racing, if you remember when Out Run was [...]
There is a lot of debate out there about Twitter’s new official universal binary app for iPhone/iPad. The iPad update brings an all new interface to the iPad. What’s new? What’s great? What’s not so great? Let’s start at the beginning…
If you had to trust a water-proof case to protect your precious iPhone 4 during a torture test, which would it be — the Overboard or the Aquapac? That’s the challenge they gave me for the latest episode of TiPb’s Amazing Case, our hardcore, case vs case tests of strength, durability, and performance.
We figure if [...]
Back in late June/early July, I reviewed an app called Wi-Fi Sync for jailbroken iPhones. You can find my revised version of the review here. Originally this seemed like a pretty neat app. It’s a bit pricey for what it does, but it did it well.
Now I’ve been having several issues [...]
I spent the past week using the PixelSkin Case for iPhone 4. Speck has a lot of great accessory lines from iPhone cases and skins to everything iPad and iPod as well, but I was a little hesitant at first as I’m not a fan of cases that add bulk and most pattern or etched cases [...]
The Speck Fitted Case for iPad is a hard shell case with a soft fabric backing. It snaps together from two parts — the plain black bezel that wraps around the top and outlines the ports, and the textured, pink and black plaid that covers the back plate.

There are two game modes in DoDonPachi. The first is iPhone mode which is a great way to jump in and play. It uses a hit variable [...]
I have to admit, I am not much of a Sudoku player. Not because I don’t like it, but because I am horrendously slow at it and I always feel inadequate playing since my wife is about twice as fast as me solving puzzles on even a much higher difficulty. However, I sucked up my [...]
The Talon Hard Shell Case for iPhone 4, this version with beautiful artistic print finish, is an extremely affordable way to both protect and personalize your iPhone 4. Ally already looked at the solid color versions, and these are the same except for the artistic prints:
Contempo Tree, with colorful leaves on a white background Midnight [...]
This week I am looking at the Incipio Silicrylic Case for iPad. This is a two-part case not unlike the Case-Mate Hybrid Touch Case where you have a silicone inside layer and a hard outside layer. The goal being to provide extra durable shock protection.
As you would expect you have the typical openings in the [...]
Highborn is a turn-based strategy game for iPad set in a fantasy environment with paladins, wizards and warriors. What sets Highborn apart for the mix of other worthy turn-based games is it’s humor and asynchronous multiplayer gameplay.
You start the game off with “Archie” your wise-cracking paladin. The game uses humor to its advantage to drive [...]
The Case-Mate Barely There Chrome Case for iPhone 4 is just stunningly beautiful.

iDygest is just what it sounds like — an app that will congregate all feeds Apple into one sleek timeline for you to browse through. I know I have quite a few iRelated websites that I browse through everyday, I’ve even got an Apple group in Google Reader that syncs with my RSS app on [...]
This week I am looking at the Case-Mate Hybrid Tough case for iPad. This is actually a good case considering its goal; solid protection while staying reasonably thin.
The case is unique in that it has two layers. The first layer is a silicone skin that covers the iPad and all of its buttons. It also [...]
Clearcam for iPhone is an app that compliments the already existing camera app. Instead of tapping camera, you take your pictures through Clearcam. I found myself using this app when I wanted clearer pictures or when I was in an area that pictures came out either blurry or dark. The concept is [...]

If you don’t like the mostly drab black and bumpers and cases Apple is giving away, the Talon Hard Shell Case for iPhone 4 is a great way to add a little color and fun for under $10. It isn’t [...]
If you had to put your precious iPad through the ultimate scratch test, which protective film covering would give it the best chance for survival — the BodyGuardz or the InvisibleSHIELD? They’re both ultra-thin, ultra-durable plastic skins, but which is the most durable? That’s the challenge they gave me for the latest episode of TiPb’s [...]
With this weeks sale of Square-Enix games in honor of Chaos Rings release, I thought it fit to review Crystal Defenders for iPad. This is a very fun strategy/tower defense game: hardcore players apply only.
Crystal Defenders has you assume the role of master strategist as you place your units on a map to destroy the [...]
A lot of people have been waiting for Flash on an iPhone (unofficially of course), and if you’re jailbroken, you can have it now, via Frash. Frash is basically a port of Flash 10.1 for mobile. We also have to keep in mind, it’s in a severe Alpha stage. And it shows. But if you [...]
The iLuv Flexi-Clear iPad Case not only adds no bulk to your iPad, it adds tons of protection as well. It comes in a couple different colors and gives you the peace of mind of knowing that if you set your iPad on a surface face up or face down, the screen nor the [...]

Let’s Golf 2 is not meant as [...]
I have just finished my stint with the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 (hence-forth “Feather”, that title is just way too long). What can I say? I like! The really thin nature of the case and the grip it provides is really nice. Plus, there are some extra benefits too. Keep reading [...]

If you had to go into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu death match with your precious iPhone 4, which case would you be better off taking with you — the Golla Stunt Pouch or Otterbox Defender?
