  • Gmail Launches Money Sending Google Wallet Feature

    Google is just making enemies left and right, announcing a merge of Google Wallet and Gmail, allowing users to send and receive payments using only their gmail.

  • Pizza Compass (App)

    The most important app in your life (If you’re a Ninja Turtle or myself). This ideal app for connoisseurs of a good slice, locating every vendor of pizza within your area or a specific located area. Sure you can use basically any restaurant locator apps and narrow your search down to pizza, but this app has a little pizza slice icon where said pizzeria is located. There’s also a pizza spinner to point in any direction to find that cheesey goodness. Sold. Pizza Compass $1

  • Instagram Releases Web Feed Feature

    As of today, you can now browse your Instagram feed on the web – just like you do on your mobile device. The mobile app has been dedicated to catering to a mobile world for the past few years, but has seen the light (dollar signs) and profitability of allowing a web based viewer to view all of your friends humble brag photos in real time. The news, while exciting, isn’t shocking with sites like staticgr.am ahead of the curve for viewing Instgram photos for web. The only thing left is to allow users to upload from the web, also. Whether or not that will ever be available is still up in the air, but would optimize their full user radius, being that some mobile carriers still don’t have an Instagram app. Go to instagram.com and log in to your account to give it a try.

  • SpeedGlow Speedometer For iPhone

    If you’ve ever tried to adjust your GPS settings while you’re driving, you know it can be tricky and highly dangerous. We can handle a stick shift while drinking a coffee and eating a Egg McMuffin, but leaning over to tap a screen through menus can take our eyes of the road a bit too long. It’s the reason we haven’t been fans of most speedometer apps we’ve come across. SpeedGlow is different, allowing you to control everything with gesture controls instead of menus. Quick swipes and taps are all you need to view more details, change your speed limit alarm (probably a feature you won’t use) and access the heads up display so you can reflect the display onto your windshield at night. Now you can really track your Prius’ 0-60 time.

  • A Grill Masters Best Friend: The iGrill

    As much as we all like to believe we’re super chefs behind the grill at a LDW BBQ, that’s not always the case. Unless you prefer your steaks charred, grilling meat is not always the easiest of tasks. Weight, temperature and heat of your grill are all things, usually overlooked at a summer BBQ, but if you really want to optimize your grilling skills, try this app out. The iGrill is a digital thermometer. But you start the Bluetooth connection of iGrill app on an iPhone or iPad, and is a world of useful features. It has a  multiple-meat temperature that monitoring system that can be modified to fit any cut according to your exact specifications. The  “estimated time to completion” feature comes in clutch, if you’re multitasking, cooking meat, corn and your girlfriend’s cousins veggie burger. Even though, I personally don’t think this feature will come to much use, since most grill masters hold down their in-use grills like a lioness protecting its cubs, you can hook up the feature to bluetooth and an alarm on your iphone will sound off just as your meat is tender and ripe for the eatin’.

  • 8 MVP Apps Of The Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List Trip

    Now that the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List trip is complete we had a chance to step back and look at all the apps that helped make three weeks of life on the road more enjoyable and easier for us. We used several dozen apps throughout the trip but here are the MVPs. Photosynth Sometimes it is hard to convey the awe inspiring sights of MLB ballparks (or places we saw while on the road) in words. For those moments there is no better app to have than Photosynth, a panorama app that makes it easy and fun to capture and share interactive panoramas. To keep it simple to understand, Photosynth uses the latest in computer vision techniques to capture 360 degrees horizontally and vertically, making a perfect “sphere.” 4th & Mayor We all know Foursquare. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out for a night on the town and in the morning asked myself “where the heck did I go last night.” Foursquare solves that age old question and 4th & Mayor is a quick, clean Foursquare client on steroids. Using 4th & Mayor we checked in from the top of Fenway’s Green Monster and check more »

  • XLR8 Turns Your Ford Focus Into a Ferrari

    We can’t always hit the road in the wheels we’d like to. A new app called XLR8, however, can at least make your family sedan sound like the sports car of your dreams. Using your phone’s accelerometer, XLR8 plays sounds similar to what your car might sound like if it was something a little fancier. The audio revs up as you start, just like a vehicle does. It idles when you’re stopped at stop lights, and pays attention to your vehicle’s acceleration, responding accordingly. “I’m a race car aficionado as well as a sound designer with a passion for the sound of a well-tuned engine,” Robb Rinard, Creative Director at 2XL told Mashable. “When I was little, I was the kid who would sit at the breakfast table and make race car sounds with my mouth for fun while dreaming about tearing up the track. “When I grew up, I had the great fortune of partnering with programming genius Rick Baltman (he’s done stuff like program Auto Pilot in unmanned spy planes). It was Rick who made my idea for XLR8 a reality.” The app uses Hollywood recordings of real supercars. While it’s designed to be used in your car more »

  • Why Clear’s Dead-Simple List Stands Out In The To-Do Market
