For those of us in the US, this is a big holiday weekend, and tomorrow of course is Independence Day. And that means family, friends, BBQs … and fireworks.
So I thought maybe some of you might want to extend the fireworks experience to your iPhones, and thought I’d mention a couple ways to do that.

It would be great if I was charming, confident, and authentic when speaking other languages, but I’m not. Good thing there’s LingoPal then. This useful little app features translations of common things you might need to ask as well as authentic-sounding recordings in 41 different languages. I don’t know how all the speakers in the app sound, but I know the Tagalog, German, Cantonese, and French sound authentic. We’ve seen other programs like this, but what makes LingoPal so noteworthy is the presentation and the hilarity of some of the lines in the app – especially the massive focus on flirting in foreign languages. The app isn’t really a LingoPal so much as it is a LingoWingman.

I’ve been a happy owner of an iPhone 3GS for two weeks now. Two weeks and around 3 hours, but who’s counting. :) One of the biggest things I’ve noticed (continually) in my first couple weeks with the new model is how absolutely rock solid it is, and how well it is utilizing and managing all that lovely 256MB of program memory (RAM) it’s got.
We’ve been told that the ‘S’ in 3GS stands for speed – and I’ve certainly seen constant evidence of that too. The 3GS blazes in just about everything it does. But, to my mind the S could just as easily stand for Solid, or Stable – although I realize those words are not anywhere near as exciting as ‘speed’.

SportsTap – a leading sports scores and information portal app for the iPhone – has been updated and now has push notifications enabled.
I’m very happy to see this one, as SportsTap has been a favorite app of mine ever since its days as a web app. I much prefer it to ESPN’s ScoreCenter, and like the way they have implemented alerts as well.

I’m no video expert. Not even close. So take this story - of an aspiring pop singer’s video of a debut single being shot entirely on an iPhone 3GS - with as many grains of salt as you like.
The short story is: the singer is Reyna Perez, the song is ‘Love Love Love’, and the video was shot by her fiancee, and video producer, Ari Kuschnir.
