iPhone App Shazam

Tonight I'm going to mention a handy little app I use occasionally called Shazam if you haven't heard about it yet it's really quite fetching. I mean that literally...have you ever heard a song on the radio and couldn't remember the name, well that is where Shazam comes in. You hear a song, you activate the app, it listens to the song and amazingly brings you back the name and artist. It's really cool, often you have the chance to buy a ringtone or watch a youtube video.

If the song is real old and not mainstream it may not find it, but all in all it's a neato, cool app especially for us folks that don't have satellite radio.

iPhone G3 Car Charger a Must Have

The iPhone G3 car charger most essential to have especially for cross country trips. I have a iPhone car charger, my son doesn't (or a license yet either, but he has a car)

So let me tell you a story about why you should have a car charger or two...My son, a very handsome young marine was recently stationed at Camp Pendleton his dad drove him (in his car he doesn't have a license to drive yet) cross country to California.

I let my son borrow my iPhone car charger and GPS too, knowing my ex would drive nearly straight thru and not stop in a hotel to charge the phone, or to sleep. It's some sort of Man Thing.

It made perfect sense, I could check on my son during his estimated 3 day trip to Cali from WV without appearing to worry. Without the iPhone G3 car charger I would have lost contact with my son after about the first day. (He's a texting machine and wears that iPhone out!)

My plan worked beautifully we spoke several times during the trip. My ex dropped off the son at the base, hopped a plane with my car charger and GPS and returned them to me, although it was several days later. I really missed my car charger (not as much as my son of course) you don't realize how convenient they are until yours goes missing. I highly recommend getting a car charger or two!

Like the Scosche Premium Car Charger for the Apple iPhone / iPod - IPCHRG - It's less expensive than the iPhone original. Take the extra money stick it in your gas tank and enjoy a long ride to wherever you might want to go, cause with it your minutes might run out but your battery won't.

Watch App Wrapped Up Case Dismissed

Cartier withdrew it's lawsuit against Apple over the look a like famous wristwatch application "Fake Watch", which was pulled from the app store. Ha, just as I suspected!

The missing application I mean, I didn't know how the lawsuit would go, apparently not at all.

Well that's all folks!

Have a blessed Memorial Day, and thank God for our Service Men and Women regardless of how you feel about them, it takes courage to serve. God Bless my son PFC Pepper USMC.

Case of the Stolen Watch App

It appears that Apple is being sued by Cartier the Jeweler over an application that resembles a watch made 92 years ago named the "Tank".

A third party company Digitopolis Co create the app "Fake Watch" which resembles look a like famous wristwatches.

I did a search at the app store today and couldn't find any app named Fake Watch, I also did a search for Digitopolis Co and they had 4 apps but the app in question was not found.

I wonder if they snatched it? Comments about the suing ranged both in favor of Apple being punished to the full extent of the law and Cartier for being silly.

Since I couldn't find the application I did look up the Cartier Tank Watch, you have got to see this to believe it. Cartier American Tank - W26019L1 Ladies Watch
