by Jake Gaecke on Oct 21, 2009 at 10:20 PM

Wacom’s Bamboo tablet line has been known for great functionality for those of us who don’t want, don’t need or just plain can’t afford to spend the money on an Intuous or other professional level tablet. Now, Wacom has refreshed their Bamboo line of tablets, adding touch functionality, among other things, in the process. And not only touch, but multitouch.

Apple updates MacBooks, Mac Minis, iMacs and Magic Mouse

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 20, 2009 at 12:56 PM

We have rumors gone true, folks. I like to call those trumors. Just as predicted, we have new unibody MacBooks (not Pro), Mac Minis (including a Server version), iMacs and the Magic Mouse. Quite a round of updates for Apple. I’m very surprised there wasn’t a press event or the like.  Either way, I think Apple will be seeing a lot of our money today. Early details and photos past the jump.

Appletell reviews Elgato’s EyeTV for iPhone

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 18, 2009 at 04:50 PM

Elgato’s EyeTV app for iPhone is nearly everything you’d want from a TV app. It shows what you’ve already recorded, it shows you scheduled recordings for the future, it gives you access to the TV Guide data you pay yearly for, it even streams past recordings (provided they’ve been converted for iPhone) over 3G, not just Wifi. And of course, the biggest feature here, it’ll stream live TV over Wifi, not just your home network.

Apple pulls EyeTV app from App Store due to 3G live TV streaming

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 17, 2009 at 10:54 PM

Apple has pulled Elgato’s EyeTV app for iPhone from the App Store. Why? I like to think it’s because the app was too awesome, but they say the official reason is due to its hidden ability to stream live TV over 3G. Mind you, EyeTV for iPhone doesn’t actually appear to stream live TV over 3G to the casual user. In fact, I was unable to verify this feature myself until…

Appletell reviews Scosche’s tapSTICK for iPod shuffle

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 15, 2009 at 10:09 AM

Scosche’s tapSTICK for the iPod shuffle attempts to fix the biggest problem with Apple’s super miniature MP3 player: the controls/headphones. The tapSTICK takes the controls that started out on the headphone cable and moves them back onto the device. Or rather, on a case that slides over one side of the device. And I’m so glad that it does. The tapSTICK is moisture resistant, and it allows you to use any set of headphones that you want to.

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 9, 2009 at 09:18 PM

Whoever persuaded App Store developers to quit charging for their apps this week, I don’t know who you are, but thank you. And keep up the good work. There are at least three apps in my list this week that are actually worth money, but you can have them for free. Quick, to the list, before they change their minds!
