Hedronism relies on your logic and your ability to assess spacial direction.

  • Air Sharing: The last piece of the Jigsaw … Or is it?

    Since the introduction of the iPhone and iPod touch back in mid-late 2007, there has always been one feature which was noticeably absent from them both. It was apparent it was needed in order for the devices to become successful in the enterprise, and it was apparently highly requested for inclusion. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Apple didn’t find it to be a priority, and consequentially it didn’t make the final cut into iPhone OS.

    So what was it? What was this deal-breaking feature? – The ability to mount them as removable drives. Now, with the App Store in full swing, Avatron Software have officially filled the gap.
    Cue, Air Sharing … (more…)

The total worth of the 4 applications is roughly $11. It’s not clear how long this crazy-ass sale will last, but I’d get in on it pretty quickly if I was you … (more…)

  • A Brief Look at: Brightkite for iPhone

    I have to admit I’d never heard of Brightkite until the application hit the store yesterday (is that bad, should I have known what it was? :/). I’m sure this was one of the intentions of the developers, to get the word out, so I’m not too worried, I’ll just pretend to be one of those new guys – you know the ones … I’ve gathered it’s a fairly popular social networking client which aims to use location API’s to let everyone know where you are, and if you choose, what your doing …

    I was accepted into the beta phase and received my invite from them late last night.
