iPhone App Review: Speedtest

Their Blurb: Speedtest.net is available as a native iPhone application completely free and with no advertising! Test your download and upload speeds via WiFi, 3G or Edge from virtually anywhere. Refer back to your results anytime, anywhere.

Review: Speedtest is a great app for the iPhone as it gives you the ability to test your network speeds, whether it is 3G, EDGE, WiFi. I was able to run test in NYC, LA, Austin, Dallas and Las Vegas and the results are saved for comparison purposes. I find myself using this app all thetime and it helps me determine whether a particular iPhone app is running slow or is it the network. This is important as there are quite a few slow apps out there. Give Speedtest a try…it will not dissapoint.

Review: Take a quick look at Microsoft’s very first retail store located in Scottsdale, Arizona and let the imitating begin. It looks like and Apple Store with Microsoft’s inventory. Yeah, I am really believing Ballmer’s claims that he does not view Apple as a threat. :>)

Review: Rock Band for the iPhone is Strong!

Rock Band on iPhone is a hit. – You knew this we be a big one if the software was designed properly as it is a monster hit on the game boxes, such as XBox, Playstattion, and Nintendo Wii. I love this app and it’s ease of use. Although not as feature rich as it game box brethern, it is still perfect for the iPhone platform. I expect Rock Band to a long and distinguished future on the iPhone and iTablet???

Performance showdown: Windows 7 vs. Snow Leopard | Windows 7 Insider – CNET Reviews. As you will see in this review the Mac OS Snow Leopard best Windows 7 in numerous categories, but for you hard-core windows users, well it is a vast improvement over Vista. As an avid Mac user, who has a windows desktop that I use for testing and so on, I am not surprised by the outcome from this review from CNET. It makes sense…
