Tech Review: Ollo Clip iPhone 4S

When it comes to functionality, the iPhone has become the one device to rule them all. I find myself using my iPhone for practically everything I do, the only short coming was with the camera. While it takes some really nice photos, there was always the dream of getting a little more width out of my shot, especially when interviewing people. It always felt a bit cramped.

Well, the Ollo Clip has been around for a while now and I finally got a chance to take it out for a test drive. While recently upgrading to an iPhone 5, I had to borrow my wife’s iPhone 4s for a trip to the zoo so I could see what this little baby could do. Is the Ollo Clip the next best thing for the iPhone? Does it rival the rather bulky DSLR cameras?

iCovers4u – Tape Deck Case Version 2 for the iPhone 4

The following is a guest post by Jessica Cruz.

A year after I first saw the the tape deck cover for the iPhone 4iCovers4u is offering a better, shinier case. Can we say “upgrade?”

Last year when I first saw the tape deck cover for the iPhone 4, I knew I wanted it immediately. I waited for days in anticipation for its arrival, and finally it came! I ripped open the packaging…and was somewhat disappointed.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the case’s design. The concept was beautiful, but the quality was shoddy. The silicon material was too loose to hug the iPhone. When held in your hand the case hung pathetically limp.  It would constantly slip off the phone and, in reality, did not offer any real protection whatsoever.

Nuu MiniKey – iPhone 4 Slide Out Keypad [Gadget Review]

When Steve Jobs first introduced the iPhone, many people were skeptical about the on-screen virtual keyboard.  Most were already used to a physical keypad. This is especially true for Blackberry users.  While many iPhone users have trained their thumbs to accept the virtual keyboard, there are still some that need the real thing.

Review: Poker with Bob [iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad]

Review: Poker with Bob [iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad]

Poker with Bob is an app that is available on iTunes for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad for $.99.

Story

Poker with Bob is the riveting tale of Bob, a man with no legs and a chin too big for his face. Resigned to a life of solitude, his only solace comes from the endless games of poker to which he challenges you.

Really, though, what do you want from me? It’s a poker game. Any scrap of story would only weigh down the game with unnecessary deails.

Gameplay

Well, that sure is poker. Albeit a more convenient, handheld version of poker that doesn’t require face-to-face contact like the real version does. But still, if you don’t like poker, there’s little the game could do to convince you to like it.

The mechanics, however, pleasantly surprised me. Poker actually transferred very well to a touch screen environment – there are no complicated finger swipes or patterns to attempt, only buttons to tap.

Flick Buddies – Flicking Fun

To begin, I don’t find iPhone games anything more than good time wasters. Whether you are in line at the DMV or just in the bathroom (yes, I take my iPhone to the bathroom; what, you wanna fight about it?).  Angry Birds, Train Yard, and Tilt to Live are all great balances of challenge and uniqueness. Flick Buddies tries to do that, and they get really close, but just barely missed the mark.

Product Review: iPhone 4 Ballistic SG Series Case

When a new iPhone is released there is always that scramble to find that perfect case. I went through that very thing when picking up my iPhone 4. With a limited selection at both Apple and the AT&T stores my hopes were dashed. That was when Ballistic arrived on the scene. Previously I reviewed their first model for the iPhone the Ballistic HG. This time around they are debuting the Ballistic SG. Which is a more sleek and sexy case. I’ve had some hands on time with the SG. How does it compare to the HG? Does the SG hold up to the everyday iPhone use?

Full Review after the break.
