Yesterday as I crossed the Atlantic, my Sennheisers performed their customary task of improving the quality of life at 35,000 feet with predictable verve. With my iPod set to ‘random’, I was struck by how much new music I was hearing. Upon arrival at home, I promptly pommeled my occasional guests with an unsolicited—but cheerfully [...]

bearer of ill tidings: myWireless (iPhone app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, tagged iPhone on December 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As bearers of bad news go, AT&T’s myWireless iPhone app is a particularly handy one. WIth a few taps, you can work out just how much you owe and even pay it if you’re feeling well-disposed towards the official iPhone monopolist du jour. The app also allows the conscientious—or bill-fearing—user to track his or her [...]
right here: Around Me (iPhone app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, tagged gadgets, iPhone on December 12, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This handy little app is a marvel for finding out the nearest pharmacy, gas station, coffee shop, and a shortlist of other categories based on its discernment of your present location. Some categories display a bit of mysterious overlap. If you’re suffering from chest pains, however, your dash to the nearest ‘hospital’ might take you [...]
a door-opener: Al-Qur’an/The Quran (iPod app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, tagged apps, gadgets, iPhone on December 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Non-Muslims who need to know the Quran could do worse than begin with M.M. Pickthall’s English translation, here formatted for the iPhone. Scholars and the pious debate the merits of Pickthall’s renderings, but this handy and inexpensive app opens the door to those less interested in the minutiae who benefit from having Islam’s most holy [...]
butts in seats: Seat Guide (iPod app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone on October 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This very handy app has more than once alerted me to the need to change a seat before getting stuck with my feet wedged into the space left by an ‘electronics module’ under the seat in front of me. It’s not exhaustive. For example, the USAirways Embraer E90 that’ll take me from Philly to Indy [...]

more news … : B.World (iPhone app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, reseña on September 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What’s not to like in more news? You can always choose not to look it up. But, if you want news *now*–say, on the airport shuttle to the parking lot, there it is. Uncomplicated. Fast. News. I’ll take it.
a game changer: At Bat/MLB.com (iPhone app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, reseña on September 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If a love for baseball and possession of an iPhone intersect in your life, you just need to get this app. It is certifiably the bodacious portal for quick and mobile access to all things MLB. A crystal clear interface puts you in touch with stats, standings, results, video, and more. There may be something, [...]
fine-tuned news delivery: AP Mobile (iPhone app)
Posted in maxing out the iPhone, tagged iPhone, reseña on August 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Of all my news apps, this is the one I like best. AP Mobile can be tuned so that it delivers you a tailor-made assortment of news according to your own interests. I especially appreciate the ‘breaking news’ feature, which alerts me to truly significant events rather than to every stray cat rescued by firemen. [...]
