Our friends over at BorderStylo (creators of GLASS) are channeling this feel of nostalgia with their new free iPhone/Android App, Retrollect. It’s essentially a scrapbook album creator in the style of the old View-Master disks.
You might remember the furor last week over the discovery that your iPhone was keeping a log of cell tower locations it has accessed while also backing it up on your computer. People were understandably upset over this seemingly egregious breach of personal information. This morning, Apple released a fairly comprehensive list of questions and answers responding to the issue.
This morning, Nielsen released a new batch of survey results of U.S. smartphone consumers looking to buy a new phone and it looks like there’s a greater percentage of people who want Android phones than iPhones now.
The internet was nearly broken in two this morning on the revelation from Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan that there has been a hidden file in iOS 4 that has been recording the locations of where your iPhone or iPad has been as you’ve been using it.
Instead of trying to first explain what the mess of words in the headline means, I’m going to direct you to watch this impressive video demonstration of how a 3D display is possible on the iPad 2 using the front facing camera:
There’s a lot of wonderful qualities of our great city of Los Angeles, but finding parking is not one of them.

This morning, Verizon held a press event in New York City announcing the imminent availability of the iPhone 4 on its network on February 10th.

Here’s what you need to know about the Verizon iPhone:
Looks like the busy bees at Skype aren’t resting this holiday week as they just pushed out a new free update for their iPhone client, bringing it to version 3.0.
Here’s what you need to get in on the action according to Skype’s Video Calling Guide:
Do you dread having to go to Hollywood because of the abject misery in finding a parking spot?
Yeah, us too.
Fortunately, there’s a new iPhone app called Parker that’s here to help.
If you’re an iPhone user, you may have noticed how utterly useless the Contacts app is. I mean, why would you ever open a separate app to view something that duplicates what you can already get in the Phone app? What if there was a contacts application that incorporated all of your social networks? You know, the stuff that you actually care about?
Say hello to Friends for iPhone.
Whether you are a proud owner of an iPhone or you have an iPod touch, you probably find yourself playing games every now and then. If you’re like me, then you also don’t like paying for these games. Check out the top five free games from the App Store.
I’m just going to go ahead and say it:
