AT&T now allows Skype calls over 3G

Finally AT&T starts to listen to some of it's customers, when they finally allowed Skype to make calls over 3g, instead of just Wi-Fi only. Skype is a free application for the iPhone and is a free download on either a PC or a Mac. This will decrease the amount of money AT&T makes from calling plans, but now it makes the customer experience a lot better.

Review: Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse

When I bought my 13” MacBook Pro, I also purchased the revolutionary wireless Mighty Mouse. This mouse is absolutely one of the best I’ve ever used. On my previous HP, I used a Logitech Deluxe Cordless Desktop mouse+keyboard combo. It was okay, but there was no major wow factor. The Mighty Mouse has so many wow factors it ha easily jumped to my #1 mouse. This mouse is well known for it’s many functions and features. One great plus is the 360 degree scroll ball. This comes in great for when you are in an application that goes up-down and side-to-side. Now the most used feature for me is the  pressure-sensors on the side. I have customized it to activate spaces when pressure is applied. The other feature that I really enjoy, but haven’t had the chance to us yet, is the fact that the mouse can run on two double-AA batteries for full battery life or just one battery if that is all you have available. I have looked and I haven’t found this feature on any other mouse. The mouse connects over bluetooth, and if you are using Mac OS X, the connectivity is built-in so there is no software needed to install. If you are planning on buying this mouse, I would wait until the rumored revamped version coming out later this month or so. But if you can absolutely not wait to get your hand on this magnificent product,than go ahead and just get it. Apple offers two versions. A wired version that is $49 USD and the bluetooth version which is a $79. If I were to rate this product,I would give it a 4 out of 5 because it has a lot of features that almost anyone will like, but...no product is prefect and you must be honest when giving a review. I hop you enjoy my review and my thoughts. Thanks!

Apple Buys Their Very Own Map Company


iPhone Maps change

Back in July of 2009, Apple quietly bought the services of Placebase.  If you don’t know what Placebase is, it’s a mapping service company like Google Maps.  In the near future, if not already, you might noticed Google Maps taken off of the iPhone and replaced with Placebase.  Apple is trying to get rid of all things to do with Google from what I have read.  They are planning on making their own maps.  This is made clear because they bought Placebase!  Peace out, Google!

Placebase is a much more customizable service than Google Maps.  You are able to customize tons of layers and you have multiple kinds of data sets onto maps.

If Apple’s got a new Maps Application coming that’s totally un-Googley, does that mean we can finally get a real Latitude App, since it won’t’ confuse us anymore?  Even if Google’s tiles stick around in the iPhone Maps Application for a while, Apple’s definitely doing something with their new toy!
