iCelebrate ~ Valentine’s Day Wants to Win Your Heart With Music
Who doesn’t love a good love song, smooth jazz, or a little R&B? OK, probably plenty of people – especially as Valentine’s Day approaches and those with contempt for the hopelessly romantic and barrage of candy hearts and chocolate flowers that celebrate them are reminded of the pending day in every store. The App Store to is filled with reminders of the pending love fest, and iCelebrate ~ Valentine’s Day will help you celebrate or, as the case may be, rue the day alongside a quart of chocolate chip ice cream.

BlackBerry News From The Wire for the Week of 1/25/2009
When we changed formats over a year ago and stopped doing daily news in favor of this weekly feature, I fancied it like a network news program. We’d run down all the things relevant to our local niche. One of my favorite parts about network news — well, my only favorite part, since I don’t watch the actual programs — is the teaser they play in the hours before. “Is your breakfast cereal making your children dumber? Story at 11.” This week we can see such a teaser: “Will the BlackBerry be banned in America
Yesterday, in discussing the Reload Software: 552 error , I pleaded with readers to backup their devices. I myself fell victim when I got an application error, left with a dead BlackBerry and no backup. In the comments, DavidB left a suggestion: backup your device wirelessly.
Apparently Apple has now updated the iPhone SDK to enable the use of VoIP over a 3G network, which is a nice turnaround for those who want to use VoIP on their iPhone by using the iCall application for iPhone. According to an article over on prnewswire , iCall for iPhone is the only VoIP app which works on the iPhone over cellular 3G networks and is only one of a very few which Apple has allowed on the iPhone platform. So it now seems that there’s been a bit of a turnaround where VoIP is concerned with the iPhone as previously VoIP was only enabled to work over WiFi for some reason or another which had caused several heated debates in the past. So maybe Apple has finally opened their ears and listened to their iPhone owners and made iCall for iPhone available, which can be gained as usual from the iPhone iTunes App Store for free as of right now.
Motorola seems to be pushing out Android based handsets like wildfire these days, and the latest Android addition to the Motorola portfolio has now been spotted and according to an article over on mobil.idnes.cz , it’s the Motorola Zeppelin. Word has it the Motorola Zeppelin will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona next month, and judging by the image looks a tad different to what we’ve seen of the Motorola Zeppelin before. Spec wise the Motorola Zeppelin will apparently sport a 3.2 inch HVGA display with touch sensitive buttons at the bottom, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, Android operating system with MotoBlur on top, GPS, WiFi and 3.5mm jack. Pricing isn’t yet known but the Motorola Zeppelin should sit somewhere in the middle area between high end and low end, still its not long to MWC so we’ll find out more then.
