It's always surprised me that there wasn't an easy way to work out how much of your data limit on your mobile Internet you have left. There have been plenty of occasions over the years when my super fast Internet suddenly slowed back to a snail's pace because I'd exceeded my monthly limit. If I'd known, I would have put off downloading that movie or app for a couple of days until the new month kicks in.

Well, this great addictive old school downhill racer has now been adapted for iOS and proves itself to be just as addictive as its parent. That is, until you get caught by the abominable snowman, of ... Read more

It's always a little bit dangerous reviewing religion-based applications. Sometimes, an attempt at wit is taken as criticism and can cause some bad feelings. But there's little bad I can say about this beautiful looking iOS app that is designed so that those of the Muslim religion can keep their holy words in their pocket. iPhone Qoran is one of several apps available for the Muslim religion's holiest book but none are as impressive looking as this one as its eye catching pages are scanned from an approved and authenticated printed copy.
