New eBay App For iPhones Can List Products For Sale In Under 60 Seconds

I was already pretty impressed by the eBay app for iPhones, but these two new apps for either sellers or those who want to buy/sell locally are worthy additions to your home screen.

Does the iPad Make Man Purses Okay Now?

The iPad isn’t crazy big. But it’s too big for a pocket. That means one thing: a bag. Not too big of a bag. More like a purse. I have no inherent distaste for the man purse.* In fact I’ve been waiting for years for my literally closeted obsession with small bags to become socially…

MapQuest’s Free iPhone App Now Does Turn-By-Turn Voice Directions

Google scared the balls off of turn-by-turn navigation companies when it released its free nav app for Android, largely because an iPhone version seemed inevitable. Well, it’s still not here. But MapQuest’s free voice navigation is! https://gizmodo.com/google-navigator-for-android-review-good-for-free-but-5393935 To be clear, this is an update to the MapQuest 4 Mobile app, not a price slash on…

iPod Creator Tony Fadell Leaves Apple

Sure, we associate the iPod and the iPhone with Steve Jobs, but in reality there were of course many people working on these devices’ creation.

Behold! The First Ugly iPad App

Look at all the pretty iPad apps! Then, look at this one. The iPad’s earliest apps may be blessed with good looks and high production values, but it’s only a matter of time until the rest show up.

Fact: The iPad Is Not Expensive—for an Apple Product, Anyway

The iPad is not expensive. In fact, compared to other products through Apple’s history, it’s very cheap. It’s not opinion. It’s fact, as you can see in this comparative graphic, covering every major Apple device launch since the Apple I. When you adjust the prices to 2010 dollars, the iPad is the second-cheapest major device…
