As CNET’s Don Reisenger reported earlier today, Apple will unveil its long-awaited iCloud service next week at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference. Anyone else find it surprising that Apple announced something new before actually introducing it? That’s rare. In any case, now that iCloud is official, more or less, we can start to speculate on what …

I can’t remember the last time I looked forward to a game as much as I’m looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever. I’ve always loved first-person shooters, but they’re all so dark and serious these days. I’m ready for some old-school fun; to kick some ass and chew some gum–and I’m all outta gum. For whatever reason, that infamous Duke …

Sometimes we all get so wrapped up in our physical health (see: Four killer iPhone apps that help you lose weight), we forget about our mental health. But take it from a guy who can get mighty moody, it’s no less important. MoodKit is a new app packed with tools designed to improve not just your mood, but also your …

Seize your task list with the free SeizeTheDay app. Functional Delights LLC For many moons I’ve been looking for the perfect to-do list app for my iPhone. For a while I used Producteev, which I likened to Evernote for task management. But you know what? It was overkill. Ultimately I realized that what I need is not a Web-accessible to-do …

Nothing, but nothing, can take the place of a good teacher. Especially a good music teacher, like the ones who helped turn my daughter into the amazing piano player that she is. They’re worth every penny. That said, music lessons can get expensive, and they’re not always easy to work into your schedule. For example, I recently acquired a guitar, …

Hot on the heels of its iOS counterpart, online backup service Mozy just released an app for Android. That’s a major perk for anyone already using the service to archive their data. Mozy, of course, is the quiet desktop tool that automatically copies your critical files to the cloud. I’ve been a user for years, and just this week I …

You’ve probably seen some of the video masterpieces filmmakers have created using nothing more than an iPhone. Of course, most of those clips, commercials, and shorts were shot with a single camera. Impressive as the results can be, aspiring videographers would no doubt appreciate the option of multiple cameras shooting at multiple angles. CollabraCam is a potentially game-changing app that …

Talk about good news/bad news. Last week, the long-awaited Netflix app for Android finally arrived–but only for five phones. If you own, say, an HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola Droid 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab, or other incompatible device, the waiting game goes on. Or not, if you’re tech-savvy enough to root (that is, jailbreak) your device and fiddle with some settings. Over …

PBS KIDS Video for iPad. When the PBS for iPad app debuted last year, I bemoaned the lack of any PBS KIDS content (other than previews). Well, I will bemoan no more: PBS Kids Video for iPad is a brand new app that streams–you guessed it–video for kids. Specifically, it serves up over 1,000 clips from shows like “Arthur,” “The …

Now this is how you do a movie tie-in. Super 8, a new app named for the eponymous J.J. Abrams flick that opens June 10, isn’t some lame collection of teaser clips or a slapped-together game. Rather, it’s a full-featured video recorder designed to emulate Super 8 film cameras. In other words, it’s like a Wayback Machine for your iPhone …
