LIke the new look for macgirl.net? If you've been following this site from its humble beginnings (to its still-humble current state), you may remember a more stark black and white look that it had at first. I loved that theme - I really did. Unfortunately, something happened within RapidWeaver that broke it and I switched to the last theme I had, which was not one I really liked, to be honest. I splurged on a new theme and I think I'm liking it so far. There's a pop-up search field in the top right (try it!) and I think it's pretty without being too flashy. What do you think?
I succumbed to the allure of yet another case for my iPhone - this time it's a selection that's perfect for Halloween, to boot. It gives my iPhone teeth. Yes, teeth! It's the Demon silicone case from Ideal-Case and you can see my review of it here.
I’ve finished my latest iPhone GPS app review - this time of Navigon’s MobileNavigator app. I rarely gush positively about anything I review, but I have to say Navigon has done a fantastic job with this app. With that said, I must note that it still has a few issues that really bother me. You can get the details in my review here.
I also recently reviewed the TomTom app for work - you can read that review here. To give you a very high-level summary of it: don’t waste $99 on it – TomTom is well behind Navigon and Sygic in terms of features at this point. The first iPhone GPS app I reviewed was Mobile Maps by Sygic - you can read this review here.
Of course, in the midst of working on my iPhone 3GS v. iPhone 3G v. first-generation iPhone review, I get side-tracked by a new iPhone accessory (and Sygic’s Mobile Maps navigation app as well), though I have a perfectly good excuse for it. See, I just got this shiny new iPhone 3GS, and after becoming quite used to using a DecalGirl skin on my old iPhone 3G paired with a Proporta Maya pouch, I wanted to put a skin on my new iPhone ASAP though I wanted to try a different one this time. I came across GelaSkins and got my hot little hands on a couple of skins and screen protectors to try out (thanks, Solveig!). I'm happy to report that the Gelaskins skin performs perfectly as a svelte protector of my iPhone, though there is one concern you should be aware of – read my review for all of the glorious details.
I’ve got some great reviews in the pipeline for you. I’m working on a review of the iGO My Way 2009 North America Edition app, plus some JayBird headphones. And Proporta has kindly provided review units of their Universal Emergency Charger and the Classic Sleeve for the MacBook Air.
