Blackberry Curve 8300 Beats 3G IPhone in Sales

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Endgadget announced today that the Blackberry Curve 8300 beat IPhone in sales today. The 3g iPhone is second place and two other Blackberry phones come in at 3rd and 4th, Storm and Pearl.

Other Blackberry news is that the new Blackberry Curve 8900 will finally be coming to AT&T stores.  I guess they had them at T-Mobile first.

If you do have a Blackberry, you may want to find out about Blackberry Apworld, which is akin to the iPhone app store.

Iphone apps for cooks/ Epicurious

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Recipes in the palm of your hand are now easier than ever.  A new iPhone app by Epicurious lets you use your 3G iPhone or other iPhone as an electronic cookbook. This app is available at iTunes for sale and it has around 25,000 recipes from various notable cooking sources such as Bon Appétit, Gourmet, SELF, Cookie, and Parade.

Yes, there are other cooking apps available besides this one, but this one has a functionality that is highly rated.  It creates a checklist of ingredients that you can check off as you cook.    And the transfer between calls and cookbook is very seamless.

The app also has pictures of what the recipe should look like when you are done…always helpful.
