Currently, there are several applications that aim to cater to the frequent traveler, including Psiloc World Traveler and Worldmate. Unfortunately, those solutions have two major issues, the first being that their travel services aren’t free and the second their way of relying on a component-based approach that doesn’t provide any integration between the flight status [...]
Having a great weather application is a necessity when you live in Texas – in the past 3 weeks, we’ve had days with 8+ inches of snow as well as days with 70 degrees and lovely sunshine. You never know what the weather is going to do, so it’s important to have up-to-date information available [...]

Pikkoo Screensaver Manager which is an application that offers user generated screensavers and wallpapers, fell in good taste when we reviewed it. The application is still being tagged as a beta but acts like a full product. Continuing to improve their application Pikkoo have now enhanced this application with live screensavers. The first one being [...]
WorldMate Live is one of my favorite applications, and is immediately installed on any new phone that I get.
