iCountry – Quickly View Basic Info About All European Countries

Brooke — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:31:41 +0000

Available In: App Store

Price: $0.99

iCountry is a simple application that allows you to quickly view the basic info for all European Countries.

Once you navigate your way through the alphabetically list of the European countries and find the one you are looking for, you are able to view; the Capital, Official Language, Anthem, Area, Currency, Calling Code, a map of the country, the national flag of the country and the coat of arms for the country. You are also provided with a direct link to that country’s info on Wikipedia so you are able to find out more about the specific country.

There is one improvement I would love to see in this app… it would be nice if the map of the country opened in Google Maps within the actual application itself instead of launching the stock Maps app. Other than that… the app provides basic info in an easy to navigate manner.

Despite Lawsuit, Verizon Continues Bashing AT&T & iPhone

Douglas — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:25:29 +0000

Despite the recent lawsuit from AT&T, Verzion has released another round of commercials just in time for Christmas depicting the iPhone as just another misfit toy because of it’s lack of 3G coverage. I’ll admit that 3G coverage is limited, but I’d rather have the iPhone over the DROID or other Google Android Phones I’ve used. It’s just not an iPhone…
