iPad 2 Quick Hands On
America. Land of hope, Land of opportunity, and land of the iPad 2. The latter of these 3 is in extremely short supply at the moment. With online orders now showing a 4 to 5 week delivery time and retail stores, including Apple’s flagship stores, reportedly sold out we are considering ourselves very lucky right now as our iPad 2 was delivered on Thursday. We will be doing an in depth review closer to or around the NZ launch but for now hit the read more for a quick look and our initial thoughts.…
Read MoreGet Ready, Get Thru with a little help from your iPhone
Approximately 6 months ago Steve wrote a post on the site titled How my iOS devices helped us in the quake and how they could save your life. As I sit here writing this I find it hard to believe that I would have ever been typing a post (let alone a second one on the site) about how you can ‘Get Ready’ and ‘Get Thru’ a natural disaster such as an earthquake (with a little help from your iPhone).…
Read MoreKiwi App Review: 1-Night.co.nz
1-Night.co.nz is an online, card based, ticketing site that allows you to purchase tickets for events happening around the country. When you have purchased the ticket of choice, it loads it onto a card which you can then swipe at the event to gain entrance. It’s a great idea and great use of technology. Now the guys at 1-Night.co.nz have released their iPhone app so join me as we take a look to see if they have taken their ticketing technology to the latest gadget.…

Read MoreKiwi App Review: Domino’s Pizza app emerges fresh from the oven
Mmmmm, pizza! There’s nothing quite like it to slay a raging hunger, and there’s nothing more convenient than ordering it from home and having it delivered to your door. Until now, trying to place such an order on an iPhone or iPad has been a frustrating experience due mainly to an unhealthy reliance on Adobe Flash. Pizza Hut’s website is built entirely on Flash and visiting it from an iPhone or iPad results in nothing but a blank screen – not even a courtesy ‘Sorry, we do not currently support your device’ message. Domino’s Pizza’s website does have an HTML version of their online ordering service, however it’s clunky and slow. Luckily the company have just launched their iPhone ordering app here in NZ, so if you’re hungry to learn more stick with me and we’ll take a look.…
