I know it’s been a few weeks since the iPhone App of the Week and I apologize but I think I have one that might make up for it. I love getting new apps and figuring out how I can incorporate them into my busy everyday life. With iPhone and iPod Touch users downloading an average of 10 applications per month and the App Store reaching 1 billion downloads within less than a year of it’s opening the mobile application market is booming. With new applications being added and updated on a daily basis, it can be difficult for even the ...

Google Reader is one of the most popular online feed aggregators out there, and with so many people using it I just had to check it out.  I’ve had feeds in Google Reader but never really checked them.  I mainly stayed up to date on all of my feeds through my startpage – NetVibes.  Eventually NetVibes became a little mundane and Google Reader was no better.  I, like so many others, am not a big fan of perusing text filled web pages, I need graphics to break up the monotony of all the text. To be honest, I’m not quite sure how I ca...

I thought this post would be fitting for the unveiling of Geekulous. Over the past year, Gadget Girl Review has started and stopped, I would add a few posts here and there and then would stop for a few months, then start up again and then stop. This time I’m 3 months and 19 posts in (longer than I’ve ever been) and I’m not about to stop now. Since the Gadget Girl Review has a history of starting and stopping and because I wanted to, Gadget Girl Review has been changed to Geekulous. I wanted a name that was a little less ‘vanilla’ tha...

It was a busy day for Apple fans today. As I mentioned in a previous post the Apple rumor mill has been running overtime with all of the Tablet talk lately. Over the past two days we’ve seen the rumor mill go into high gear with Apple shooting a mysterious ad in Truckee, CA (near my hometown I might add) and, our friends from Gizmodo releasing an article chronicling the conversation they had with what seems to be a very reliable source. On top of that, just a few hours ago whispers about the Apple iPod event occurring on or around the 7t...

Running along the lines of last week’s app of the week, Good Food Near You is a great app for those who are attempting to lead a healthier lifestyle.  Good Food Near You is a simple yet extremely useful application for people who want to eat healthy but are sometimes too busy to cook for themselves. It is estimated that approximately 25% of Americans eat fast food every day. Those Americans are consuming about 200 calories more daily than Americans who do not eat out. But as we all know, life gets busy and fast food is so much easier than...

I was recently asked about the difference between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0. Simple question, I thought. But when I   sat down to write this I realized the explanation isn’t as straight forward as I had originally thought. So read as I try to explain the differences between Web 2.0 and 1.0. Web 2.0 refers to how we are using the internet today. There is no one definition of Web 2.0 (some believe it is just a marketing term) and technically there s no change to the technologies used to power the web but there is a clear distinction between Web 2....

Well I was going to post part II of my Google Voice review but the buzz around Apple’s possible new device is too loud to ignore (not that I was trying to).  For years now the rumor of Apple creating a tablet has been floating around.  Some believed it didn’t nor wouldn’t ever exist, others thought that every time Steve Jobs made an announcement that was going to be “the one”.  Well it seems the time has come, according to all of the trusted Apple rumor sites, Steve Jobs has finally put his stamp of approval on a new device – ...
