Urbanspoon app now available for BlackBerry devices

November 11, 2009 @ 1:59 am

Crackberry caught up with the guys behind the new Urbanspoon app for BlackBerry devices and gives us a tour of the simple interface that is unlike any other BlackBerry app currently on the market.

I just downloaded the app myself on my phone and it is pretty neat and accurate (and it’s speedy too!). It’s a must-have if you get cravings at weird hours of the night. Head on over to urbanspoon.com/blackberry to get it now.

eBay app coming to BlackBerry devices

November 10, 2009 @ 11:18 pm

An official eBay app should have already been in existence, so who knows what the hell happened. The important thing to know now is that an eBay app will be here by the end of November, allowing us all to get push notification of eBay activities (bidding, messages, out-bid notifications, etc.) at the touch of a few buttons. This is going to be so dangerous and so awesome. [via]

Times Reader is the stupidest idea in news

September 27, 2009 @ 3:08 am

Check this ridiculous news out: The New York Times is attempting to con some folks into paying $3.45 a week for news that’s already mostly free. If there ever was a sign that “The Gray Lady” wasn’t quite understanding the digital revolution, then this certainly is it. In an attempt to seem hip and relevant, the Times is offering this already-outdated subscription-based model to people who supposedly like to log online, download all the day’s news, and then go offline for the rest of the day in some secluded part of the world where there is no internet.

Now, I understand that you can’t always be connected to receive the news as it happens (and if you’re in that small percentage of the population, then this app might appeal to you), but if you really are concerned about receiving breaking news as it gets reported by The New York Times (and strictly by The New York Times only), then chances are that you’re probably already always connected. And if you’re always connected, then you’ll know that ALL breaking news on The New York Times is ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Oh, and big deal — so you can do The New York Times’ crossword puzzle with slightly more ease than with pencil on paper…psssht. The fact that that point even makes it into the video just shows how lame and retarded this Times Reader app is. Absolutely useless to about 100% of the people I know.

T-Pain and Smule release an amazing viral video for auto-tune iPhone app

September 4, 2009 @ 2:43 am

T-Pain and his media team (along with Smule) have put together what I believe is the most fabulous advertisement for any iPhone app I’ve ever seen.

The app which is called “I Am T-Pain” basically turns your regular iPhone into a portable auto-tune machine. For $2.99, you can record your own voice with the same auto-tune effect that T-Pain uses and then email, Facebook, or Myspace the track once you’re done recording. The app also does on-the-fly auto-tune, so you can just speak into it and hear your voice with the effect on it right away.

Anyway, just look at the amount of celebrities T-Pain managed to get in this one video touting his iPhone app. It’s insane. And that last portion with Akon…haha, that’s just hilarious!
