If there's a word for someone that is truly addicted to technology in all of its forms (Technoholic?), then that's me. I was weened on Atari, passed my Rite of Manhood with Doom PC, and have never looked back. Apple now has me in its clutches with this magical device called the iPod Touch, but don't expect its third-party software developers to get a free pass.

GateGuru Review

iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Posted April 23rd, 2010 by Perrin Stewart
Our Rating: :: SOLID TRAVEL COMPANION
