Windows Live Messenger for iPhone Shows Promise But Has a Ways To Go

Windows Live Messenger for iPhone | 40Tech

If you are a dedicated Windows Live Messenger user and own an iPhone, you may want to take a gander at the official, recently released (and free) iPhone app for the longstanding IM service. The new Live Messenger app is fairly slick and easy to navigate, has push notifications, displays updates from many of the services you can integrate with in your Windows Live account — including Facebook — and handles the job of basic messaging very well. That said, there are a few obvious gaps and design flaws that have made the experience a bit frustrating for some.

Did You Get Your Mom an iPad or Are You Waiting for Version 2?

Mom's Love the iPad | 40Tech

So far, we’ve been avoiding all of the iPad chatter here at 40Tech, choosing not to get involved in the sweeping web-wide hype that it’s generated. Admittedly, some of that avoidance is fuelled by the fact that we don’t own a single iPad between us – but we hear good things. Personally, the slowly withering anti-Apple in me is inclined to wait until version two of the iPad is released, hoping for an even better experience (and a self-facing camera for video chats), but this new piece of tech/giant iPod Touch (or iPhone) has taken the worlds of techies and reg’lar folk by storm. I know this because both my mother and my wife (mother of my child) have expressed an interest in getting one. So this begs the question: Did you get your mom an iPad for Mother’s Day?

Opera Mini for iPhone: First Impressions

Opera Mini for iPhone | First Impressions | 40Tech When I heard, yesterday, that Apple had approved the Opera Mini browser for iPhone, I was a bit more than surprised — I was shocked. Apple’s track record in rejecting any app that might interfere with their business plans or control over their userbase seemed to scream that there was absolutely no way they would let a competitor browser into their little empire. It was an exciting prospect: a blazingly fast, low data-impact, full-featured browser? With features that Mobile Safari is painfully lacking like on-page search? Oh I had to see this for myself! In my testing, I discovered a lot of cool features — unfortunately, though, I came away from my first few runs of Opera Mini more than a bit disappointed.

What’s On My iPhone — Part 3

Following up on the first and second what’s on my iPhone posts, I continue my micro-reviews of my rapidly expanding app list, proving that my app addiction knows know boundaries. I have no idea how the fact that iPhone OS4 will allow some 2160 apps on the iPhone will affect me. My wife may steal the thing and hide it on me… In any case, this instalment will feature my Reading-for-Entertainment, General Info-Gathering, Alternative Communications (as in: I don’t use them very often), and Other-Stuff-I-Use-But-Not-a-Lot iPhone apps. Micro-reviews, all – enjoy!
