WorldCard Mobile for iPhone
Have you ever gotten a business card and then proceeded to enter in all the information from the card, manually, into your phone. This is the need that WorldCard Mobile seeks to fulfill. My husband recently started a new job, and with it, he began to receive handfuls of business cards of new contacts related to his job. When I was contacted about doing a review of this iPhone app, I figured he’d be the perfect guinea pig. With WorldCard Mobile, when you get a business card that you need to capture the information from, just open the app, click on the camera button and take a picture of the business card. (You can save this image to your photo library if you choose.) The app will then translate what it reads on the card into a contact file that can be...
Maya’s Dress Up (for the iPhone and iPad)
My daughter has a passion for fashion. Like many typical girls, she loved to dress up her dolls when she was really little – but she’s 10years old now and has moved on to drawing dress ideas, and the like. Secretly, I think she would still play dress up with dolls if it didn’t involve a massive cleanup afterward. This is why we both love this game for the iPad and iPhone: Maya’s Dress Up. In this game you can select from a number of different dolls to dress up: Maya herself, or one of her friends. You can change their hair style and color. There are hundreds of different clothing, shoes and accessories. You can change an item’s color or how they’re “layered” on your doll. You also have a number of different...
Merry Puzzles – iPhone & iPad game
Did you know there’s only like 9 days until Christmas? (We do both Hanukkah and Christmas in our house. Yes, there’s probably a reason for tweets like this one: Heh. Truth be told, I haven’t finished shopping – so a note from Santa is still a possibility. But I’m sure they’ll be angels the day before just to make me feel guilty if I didn’t get them anything… In any case, one present I got earlier this month was this Merry Puzzles app (available for both iPhone and the iPad). There’s a bunch of adorable illustrations, cut into random little squares that you have to put back together again. The illustrations have built in animations you’ll see once the puzzle is completed. There’s a few different...
Dog hunt
With the housing issue pretty much settled for now, we have begun our next hunt: the search for a dog. We can’t get one until we get into the house (which is at least a month to two months away) but we’re doing our preliminary research. Obviously key issues are the kids. As well, we want to make sure we get a dog that isn’t too wild. Our home will be on the small side, but I’d like to get a dog that I can take for a run once in a while, so a medium sized dog would probably be best. Some breeds (and cross breeds) we’ve been looking at are: Golden Doodle Cockapoo Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier We’ve also considered seeing what the local humane shelters have available – although from what I can tell, the breeds they tend to have...
smarTouch Gloves Review and Giveaway
So as I posted earlier, for my birthday my husband, parents and siblings all chipped in to buy me an iPad. I can tell you that the iPad is the most awesomest thing ever, but that’s for another post. There is, of course, one problem having gotten an iPad for my birthday, and that my birthday comes in the fall – cold weather will soon be upon us. (Yes, even after I move to California, I’m sure I’ll need to wear gloves, because it does get cold there once in awhile) – and actually – what’s that saying “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco?” I’m the type of person that wears gloves the instant there’s any kind of chill in the air. Obviously gloves and iPads / iPhones don’t...
