Review: Nextar I4-BC GPS
I am a GPS nut, and I have been since I won my first one, a Garmin GPS-12 at the Dayton Hamvention as a door prize. That Garmin had no maps in it, but fortunately it’s almost unheard of to not have included maps on a GPS unit these days. So what makes the Nextar [...]

Apple Blocks Podcaster Ad-hoc Distribution
I caught this during the morning site run over at iPhone Alley. In what feels (to me) as the ultimate B-slap, Apple has blocked the ad-hoc distribution of Alex Sokirynsky’s rejected application, Podcaster. As if their app distribution practices weren’t unpopular enough, Podcaster developer Alex Sokirynsky wrote in a blog post that has already been [...]
