iChinese is a tool to learn writing Chinese characters and a Chinese-English dictionary with handwriting recognition. I have been trying this iPhone app for the past few days, and I really like it. It should be available on Installer, or you can add its own source: http://ichinese.de/repo
Once installed, go to the Library and install the [...]

One of the best features of the iPhone is its beautiful screen and video quality. But where do you find video files to play on your iPhone?
The first choice would be to buy TV shows or movies from the iTunes Store. They have a fairly good selection of both, but it’s not exhaustive. Unfortunately iTunes [...]

I’ve been installing/removing apps everyday, and yesterday (4/20) something happened to my iPhone. I upgraded two apps, Sketches and Ringtones at the same time, and I was asked to reboot the iPhone.
Once I did that, the touchscreen wasn’t responding anymore, and I couldn’t use it at all. I even tried calling my number, but it [...]

One of the cool things I do with my iPhone is take pictures while I am out and upload them directly to my Flickr account (if I find a wifi point…)
There are many ways to do that, here are the ones I tried:
- The easiest way is to send the image as an attachment through [...]

The iPhone camera app works fine for taking photos, but it lacks some basic features. Which is why I was happy to try the app CameraPro. Unfortunately that’s a shareware application, so although its features were nice, I didn’t feel I needed to buy it.
But now there’s a new app called Snapture, which is similar [...]

I recently encountered a problem with my Camera and Photo apps, so I thought I’d share it in case someone else has this same problem.
Premise: I took more than 100 photos with my iPhone, so I wanted to copy them to my PC and delete them from the iPhone. Instead of deleting them one by [...]

One app that I really like is VoiceNotes (Multimedia). It simply records from the iPhone microphone and can rename/delete files. The files are saved in arm format, but it’s pretty easy to convert to other more popular formats.
In theory there isn’t a time limit, as long as you iPhone has enough battery and disk space. [...]

Third party apps are fun to have, but only a few of them are really useful. Which is why I am eager to see the apps for the new SDK. Here is my wishlist:
- Amazon/Kindle/ebook reader: right now there is the Books app, but it only supports txt and html files. What if Amazon’s new [...]

This is definitely my favorite app on my iPhone. As you can see from my comics section, I am a huge comics fan. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time for it, however having my comics in my pocket at any time to read is a big help.
That’s what iComic does. Install it here. Since [...]
