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.

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.

With those two sometimes competing interests in mind, let’s take a look at five types of browser start pages.
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!

There are many reasons why you might want to access your home computer while away from home. You may need to access a program or file on that machine, or you may need to browse to a website that is blocked in your current location. Fortunately, there are free options available that let you access your home PC. Today, we look at two of them- LogMeIn Free, and TeamViewer. The two applications have similar functionality, but go about things differently. Read on for a comparison between LogMeIn Free and TeamViewer.
Following up on the first what’s on my iPhone post, I continue my micro-reviews of my rapidly expanding app list, supporting my rapidly deepening (and apparently serious) app addiction. This time around, I am going through the second springboard page — as always, discounting the possibly useless search page. Page two is, in some semblance of a nutshell, my utilities and multimedia page. Sort of. Read on and judge for yourself.
