Posted on April 02, 2011
Dallas, Texas – Nelson Technologies, LLC announced the introduction of the SaFPWR(R) battery case for the iPhone, proudly named the fusion. The Fusion Case is the thinnest, lightest, and longest running iPhone 4 rechargeable battery case of its kind. The ultra sleek Fusion case is an ultra-light, ultra-thin and extremely durable rechargeable battery case that more than doubles the time of your iPhone 4.
The rechargeable iPhone 4 battery case also protects your iPhone from ordinary wear and tear with a low profile design that allows you to keep the original look and feel of your iPhone 4. The unique SaFPWR technology that produces such a reliable product charges your iPhone 4 while you are on the go; promising up to 42 extra hours of audio, 11 extra hours of video play back and over 2 more days of total runtime.
SaFPWR batteries also protect smart phones from short-circuiting, overcharging, and over-discharging by harnessing a proprietary, built-in technology. “Our product line represents a superior blend of fashion and function,” said Nelson, founder of Nelson Technologies, LLC. The Fusion case offers a design aesthetic that does not compromise the sleek, attractive look Apple is known for.”
The Fusion case adds less than of an inch in total width or depth to your iPhone 4 and weighs less than 2.4 ounces. You can access all your iPhone 4 functions while it is in the battery case. For further ease of use, you can charge Fusion and your iPhone simultaneously through the included micro USB cable.

Fusion has passed the strict performance tests by an Apple designated test lab. As a result, the Fusion has been officially certified by Apple Inc. as a “Works with iPhone 4″ product. The Fusion also uses an Apple-designated connector, which can only be ordered through Apple’s certified vendors.

Posted on October 24, 2010Top 10 iPhone Apps for Halloween
It’s a frightful time of year, so why not deck out your iPhone to match the hokey horror of Halloween? There are plenty of Halloween-appropriate apps out there, many of them cheap or free. Here are the top 10 apps – some cute, some useful, and some just plain weird – for Halloween.
10. Abandoned
For $2.99 you can have this clever application which shows you abandoned sites in any given area. The app has hundreds listed. You can find a perfect place to ghost hunt or just a bit of creepy atmosphere for a Halloween night outing. Link
9. Ask the Dead
Everyone’s been fascinated with the Ouija board from time to time, and this app brings a talking board to your iPhone. It’ll sync with your contacts list and spell out names, a great way to give friends a scare. It’s available for $.99. Link
8. True Ghost Stories From Around The World
Countless ghost stories shared by users – hundreds of thousands of them – from around the globe make up this entertaining little app, which costs $.99. It’s a wonderful way to waste time for anybody who loves spooky tales. Link
7. Ghost Radar
This app is a ghost hunter’s best friend, displaying electromagnetic fields as dots on a radar – so hunters can identify hot spots of ghostly activity. It also ups the scare factor by randomly serving up words that are sometimes thought-provoking. Bear in mind that electromagnetic field readings can be interfered with by electronics, calling the usefulness of this app into question, but it’s undoubtedly fun. $.99. Link
6. PSI
Test and train your ESP and psychic abilities with this nifty little application. It’s based in science – the zener card test – and it’s cheat proof. It’ll also give you statistics to compare your skills against. It’s another $.99 offering. Link
5. Scare Tracks
Set your Halloween night to a spooky soundtrack of cinematic full-length HD effects. Alien prison, Ichabod Crane, tortured screams, war drums, and zombie chants are just some of the available presets. It’s a perfect backing to long walks between houses on trick or treating treks, too. $.99. Link
4. Jack O’Lantern
Can’t carve a Jack O’Lantern this year? Or just obsessed with designing scary pumpkin art? Carve anything you want into a pumpkin with this free app, including words and messages in addition to faces. High definition graphics and sound effects round out the experience. Shake the iPhone for a scare! Link
3. Ghost Capture
Another free app that lets your creativity run amok, Ghost Capture centers around snapshots of your environment – into which you can insert eerie ghosts. The end result is something that looks more or less like you caught a ghost in the act of haunting. Send your ghost pics to friends and family. Link
2. Zombie Weatherman
Ever wanted your weather forecast served up to you by the undead? Of course you have! With a free or $1.99 version of this innovative app, you can have your very own zombie weatherman presenting a meteorological report to you. If he’s not doing a good job you can punch him repeatedly, making blood splatter on the screen, for a touch of gore. Link (free)
1. Halloween Costume Generator
Stuck on an idea for a Halloween costume? This app displays costume ideas for adults, based on factors like your mood and how you’ll be celebrating the holiday. The results are often very funny. It’s been featured on Macworld, The Huffington Post, ABCNews.com, and was a top Halloween app in 2009. You can’t go wrong. $.99. Link

Can you read it to a child? Yes, their reaction won’t be mild.
Are the pictures a big plus? Yes, the pictures are a plus and your child won’t make a fuss.
Will this book read itself aloud? This book could read itself to a crowd.
Would you buy this book today? I would buy it any day!
I do, I do like Green Eggs and Ham, says Paul-I-Am!.
West Coast Tacos
Posted on October 01, 2010Here’s an excellent example of a company creating an iPhone app to market their product. West Coast Tacos sells their food from roving trucks. Their app provides their menu, social networking, videos and most importantly a map with the current location of their trucks. You can use your iPhone GPS to track them down.
They serve Korean-style tacos that will knock your socks off!
Apple to Allow Google Voice-Compatible Apps Back Into App Store?
Posted on September 12, 2010Last year, Apple generated quite a bit of controversy by appearing to reject an official Google Voice application that would have provided integration with Google’s phone-related services. In response to an investigation by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, Apple and Google offered differing statements as to whether the application had actually been rejected or simply not-yet-approved, although the application still has yet to appear in the App Store.
At the time of its initial “rejection” of the official Google Voice application, Apple also pulled from the App Store previously-approved third-party applications that offered Google Voice functionality. As noted by Sean Kovacs, the developer behind one of those apps in GV Mobile, his application had been personally approved by Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller, only to be later removed for “duplicating features that come with the iPhone”. Kovacs
subsequently published GV Mobile on the Cydia store for jailbroken iPhones, where it has been rather successful and has continued to see regular updates.
With Apple finally providing an open look at its App Store review guildelines, Kovacs rhetorically asked on Twitter yesterday whether GV Mobile should now be allowed in the App Store given that it appears to comply with all of Apple’s review guidelines. A short time later, he reported that Apple had confirmed that the application would most likely be accepted should he submit it again.
Good news: I did get confirmation back from Apple that it will most likely get back in once I resubmit.
Kovacs notes that he deleted the application from iTunes Connect after it was originally pulled, and thus it is unclear whether he will be able to submit it again under the same name and identifying information to re-link with those who purchased the app before it was pulled.
It also remains to be seen whether Google will once again pursue its official Google Voice application with Apple, but Apple’s now-public guidelines do appear to be opening the door for clarity on the review process and the possibility of more candid and open discussions with developers about their submissions.
What does the future hold for iOS devices?
Posted on September 10, 2010Apple announced today that they are making the iOS developer program more accessible and they will publish a checklist to help ensure all Apps submitted to the store are approved. This appears to signal a more relaxed position similar to the Google Android store.
They also indicated that they will allow other development environments such as the Adobe Flash-based environment. This does not mean they will allow Flash on the devices, just that you can convert a Flash program to an iOS App.
