Akvis Artwork – Review

Donny Yankellow — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

I have been using LogMeIn for Mac for a while now to remotely control another Mac. Recently, LogMeIn released an app for the iPhone/iPod Touch called Ignition, which allows you to remotely control another computer through your iPhone/iPod Touch. The LogMeIn folks were kind enough to allow me to try out a copy of the app and I have been very pleased with it.

Robert Hazelrigg — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

This is not a powered speaker for your iPhone. AirCurve’s primary function is to amplify the iPhone's built-in speaker. How does it do so? Acoustically, of course.
