    Well, I’ve been running the new iPhone 3.0 software update for a whole 3 hours now. What have I learned thus far? Firstly, it is that Apple can’t handle everyone updating their phones at once. The update is of course delivered via iTunes, and it’s pretty much acting as if it was a self-inflicted DOS…

  • iPhone games – Chess with Friends

    Nice simple little application this, it does exactly what it says on the tin. It allows you to play a game of chess online with your friends. Obviously it is turn based, but as it is played via a server, you can play your game over several days, checking in to see if your friend…

    When I first heard that Skype had released a beta client for mobiles, I was rather excited.

To be fair, it is listed in the details that it…
