But of course, since it’s the holidays, presents are falling and you need to tilt the phone to control Santa and avoid Santa getting squished. It has three levels of difficulty (easy, medium and hard) as well as … Read more
MobilityDigest.com Holiday 2010 Giveaway #2 (let’s try this again) This iPhone 4 case is one of my favorites. I’ve only used a few others that even come close, and are nearly as easy to recommend.

The Flixtser app for Windows Phone gives you movie show times and information. They’ve now enabled their live tile. It changes the image so what’s displayed is the latest weekly box office hit.
