Your browser start page, also known as your Home Page, is a launching pad of sorts. The first page that you see when you open your web browser, your start page can impact your browsing session in a couple of ways. First, the type of page you use as your start page can impact the speed with which your browser starts.

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.
