App Store adds Try Before You BuyAugust 6

Androids App Store allows users to buy apps and then return them for refunds if they don't like an app.  Apple not allowing returns seems was at a disadvantage when it came to its user return policy.  So instead of adding the ability to return purchased apps, Apple added a new section dedicated to highlighting free applications.

One of the new subsections in this section is the "Try Before You Buy" feature.  This new section features many of the "free" versions of paid apps.  Unfortunately, if an app doesn't have a "lite" version, then there is no way to try it before buying it.

Not quite the same thing as a return policy, but its a start.  Maybe this is the beginning of Apple requiring developers to create free versions of all apps?

Live TV on iPhone & iPad Next Month!August 5

Dish Networks is bringing live streaming to your iPhone and iPad next month.  Sling technology is being added to their DVR's and current customers will be able to either upgrade the DVR or add a SlingBox to activate this feature.

Even though Dish already has a mobile app that lets you control your programming remotely, this update will stream the current programming that is available on their network directly to your mobile device!  If you have one of the newer tuners from Dish with 2 tuners, you will be able to use one of those to tune into a different program than the one being watched on the TV.

It seems now that if other TV services want to stay competitive (Comcast, we're talking to you), they would need to offer similar features.  Don't know about you, but between Hulu+ and this, I think I'm going to have all the mobile TV I can handle.

ReadMore - ReviewAugust 5
As a voracious reader, I find the reading log application called ReadMore very useful. Being a reading log of sorts, ReadMore maintains a record of your reading habits, a list of your currently-reading, read and to-be-read books, and other pieces of information that are relevant to the wonderful hobby of reading. ReadMore has three main section, namely Reading Stack, Reading Log, and Help. The third section, Help, is fairly self-explanatory: it provides the user with a text and image-enhanced tutorial on...Read MoreFsUBmCaAFjs
Meebo - ReviewAugust 4
Meebo is purportedly the leader in the game being played by a great many multi-protocol chat clients on the Web. It’s no wonder then that it has also made a stab at the immensely popular iPhone platform with its own free native iPhone/iPod touch app simply and not unsurprisingly called Meebo for iPhone. The interface of Meebo for iPhone is well-designed and easy to navigate. The app is divided into three main tabs located at the bottom of the app screen. Like its Web counterpart, Meebo for iPhone s...Read MoreDoCDXpRJshg
