Virtual Table Tennis - I'm Addicted!


The game is surprisingly intuitive and works great on the iPhone. Virtual Table Tennis is a cool application that brings Ping Pong to your iPhone and lets me kill some time at work on the train.

After about 3 minutes I got used to the controls and was surprised at how well it worked. The game does not have any lags (it’s actually quite fast) and the computer opponents are tough enough to keep you entertained. Careful, it's really is addictive!

How to conserve battery life on the iphone


Yes the iphone battery does drain rather quickly. I have discovered after a day at work blasting Pandora radio, obsessively checking my google adsense app and texting my battery it just about dead.

If you do not use the wireless or the bluetooth features and can see fairly well, here are 3 quick tips that will help your battery last longer.

1. Switch the Wi-Fi feature to off.
2. Switch the Bluetooth feature to off.
3. Turn the LCD brightness down a notch or two.

You really will be surprized how much more battery life your iphone will have.

iphone 101 Tip - How to save an image off the web to your iphone


Ever wonder how to save an image off Safari to your iphone?

I was clueless when I first got my iphone 3g and I had to have a robot as my wallpaper.

Here's how:

  1. Click and hold on the picture you want to save to your iPhone
  2. Click “Save Image”
  3. Now when you go to your photo album your saved picture will be there for your wallpaper, to email, etc.

The Pandora iphone app - How did I ever live without this?


Pandora Radio IMO, is the best free music app for the iPhone. This slick music application has an huge song selection and helps you discover new bands with its intuitive recommendations. You can help improve the app’s recommendations by giving each song you like a thumbs up on the navigation bar. So if you continue giving thumbs up, Pandora will remember and continue to play songs from these bands. With my Alice in Chains channel I have avoided listening to shitty "related" bands like Bush or Creed with the thumbs down option.

Pandora has a large number of preset radio stations, including alternative, dance, country, and jazz. So far I have set up Ween, MGMT, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Polyphonic Spree and Primus stations. I've honestly found dozens of new bands I love through Pandora. The best part, Pandora Radio makes my day at work FLY by.

Pandora also includes a brief blurb about each artist as their song plays so you can learn more about unfamiliar bands. Go get it!
