The Daily Dose
Monday, April 5, 2010
Today in Techland: Peter got mail from Iron Man. (No, really.) Doug prepped for baseball season. (You’ve got to see these baseball gizmos.) And me, I spent all day re-watching Red Letter Media’s scathing review of Attack of the Clones. Hilarious. But just in case that’s not enough …

Diner Dash… in Space: Star Wars Cantina Hits iPhone
The Star Wars Cantina sequence. It’s one of those things that divides Star Wars fans like Jedi and Sith. Either you think George Lucas achieved a nice blend of cute and gritty or you think pseudo-Muppets have no place in an action-adventure sci-fi epic.
Now, you’ll get to hold the watering hold from Episode IV in the palm of your …
What’s In Your Pocket?
I’ve been meaning to put this poll up, but haven’t had the time to really put it together until now. I’m curious to know what device you carry around and/or whether or not you give a damn about phone reviews since I have a stack of devices on my desk waiting to be reviewed. Is there a particular device you’re waiting to get?

I hate to do it but I have to.
The WSJ is reporting that Verizon will land the iPhone this coming fall with production set to ramp up on the CDMA version in September from Pegatron.

Yahoo! launched two new iPhone apps today at the CTIA Wireless conference in Las Vegas. The Yahoo!

MOG: Confessions Of An Online Music Hater
“MOG is where your music listening dreams come true. All of them. Weird.”
There’s something about music that has the ability to lift your spirits, crush your soul or keep you even-keeled. Maybe it’s an inherent trait that’s built into all of us or maybe I’m an emo kid that relies on music to dictate what mood I’m going to be …

Why You Need the Springpad iPhone App
I’m not the most organized man in the history of men but it’s not for lack of trying. It’s more for lack of will, determination, time, time management skills, cleanliness (both personally and around the house), money, proper genetic predisposition to organization, and more.
Mostly it’s because it seems like too much work, even though …
