Is iPhone 5’s New Camera Worth the Upgrade?

Posted 09/13/2012 at 1:07pm | by Steve Paris

It's that time of year again, when you need to decide if your current iPhone, that device you carry with you everywhere, has now become an outdated and oh-so-obsolete accessory. Never mind the fact that it's replaced your point-and-shoot as the device you take the most pictures with, the iPhone 5 is nearly upon us and it's got a greatly improved camera. But is it worth upgrading for?

How to Set Up a Personal Hotspot with the iPhone

Posted 09/04/2012 at 8:03am | by Hollin Jones

You might be wondering: "What can a hotspot do for me?" Wonders, actually. It can turn your phone into a nifty little portable Mi-Fi so that you can hook up your iPad, MacBook, or other neighboring iOS devices to it to get on the internet via your phone's wireless connection. Sure, it'll be slower than Wi-Fi, and you'll need to have an unlimited data plan lest you get charged an arm and a leg, but it's a great way to really turn your iPhone into the supercharged mini computer that it really is. Read on and we'll show you how to do it.

10 iOS Games That Make You All-Powerful

Posted 08/30/2012 at 9:00am | by Richard Moss

Comment

Ever since Populous came out in 1989, video games have allowed us to act out the fantasy of being all-powerful gods. The god game is now a genre unto itself, varied in style and theme but always giving players the ability to change the world around its tiny virtual people and creatures -- subverting their free will but seldom denying it. Here are 10 iOS games that follow in this spirit and let you play god, which can mean flattening mountains, smiting non-believers, abusing your subjects, and crafting entire landscapes from nothing.

Auria Review

Posted 08/30/2012 at 5:01am | by David Biedny

Comments

While there are recording apps for iOS from GarageBand on up, Auria is the very first app to call itself a pro-level Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), and even within the memory and processor limitations of the latest iPad, we’re stunned by what we see – and hear. Auria delivers up to 48 tracks of audio processing power (no MIDI) on the new iPad and iPad 2 (and 24 tracks on an original iPad), with up to 96K audio recording quality, which is an amazing technical feat.

Satechi 12-Port USB HUB Review

Posted 08/24/2012 at 7:02am | by Seamus Bellamy

How Apple could ever think that the four USB 2.0 ports on an iMac or Mac mini would be enough for all of the digital cameras, external hard drives, and iOS devices in our lives is beyond us. MacBook users are even worse off. Two USB ports? Seriously? Fortunately, there’s a cure to the too-few-ports blues: the Satechi 12-Port USB Hub. It’s powered, lightweight, and wicked useful.

Fieldrunners 2 Review

Posted 08/24/2012 at 5:01am | by Andrew Hayward

Comments

One of the App Store's earliest original sensations returns in Fieldrunners 2, a sequel to the tower defense affair in which you'll place towers across various open battlefields to repel the coming forces. Much like in the original, the myriad Gatling guns and missile turrets can typically be placed in dozens of locations, letting you concoct winding mazes to direct the enemy grunts and tanks through, and it adds an extra layer of strategy to consider as you aim to protect your base.

iCade Core & iCade Mobile Review

The iCade began life as an April Fool’s joke, but the real-life miniature arcade cabinet that followed proved anything but a gag, delivering a Bluetooth controller that blended function with ample nostalgia. Following the original unit’s success, ION Audio is back with a pair of new control options for iOS devices.
