Apple, It’s Time To Block iOS 5 Beta Users From Reviewing Apps

“ Yeah, each new iOS announcement is very… bittersweet. We love it because it means new APIs for us to build on, bug fixes for things we’ve had to work around, and, ideally, more people buying the platform we build for. But then we spend months getting slammed by bad reviews, all written by people who just don’t understand: until the release goes gold, beta-specific bugs are not our fault . ” — A developer who asked to not be named. Last night, our sister site TUAW ...

TRTLBot TRTLStand iPhone Stand Review–Simple And Useful

We’ve seen a lot of different iPhone stands come and go, but probably one of the better ones I’ve tackled of late is both simple and useful, and goes by the name of the TRTLStand from the folks at TRTLBot.
The TRTLStand is a simple, basic affair that serves as both a bumper case to keep the Antennagate issues on most iPhone 4s at bay, but comes with a special extra feature: a rear-mounted kickstand that drops back with a flick of a fingertip over a notch that holds it in ...

Lightinthebox Wireless Computer Remote Review–Useful But Extraneous
