Cheatsheet for Mac: Shortcut Manager

Do you hate having a bookmarked PDF or notepad with all of your app cheatsheets? I used to have a Google Docs spreadsheet that was just full of them, but it became increasingly difficult to sift through and find what I was looking for.

At $0.99, Evi is a great application and alternative for anyone that wants Siri functionality on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

iOS and Android Over the Video Games Market

In the last years, we have seen some incredible games at the App Store from Apple and now we also have games at the Android Market from Google. But before that, we had great portable consoles such as the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP, and currently they continue their own way.

But now with these App Stores we have access to an easier world where with just a tap we can download an incredible game right from our smartphone. So, lets check these statistics.
