My first thought is like this is a mobile yellow pages that brings any and everything to my phone without having to search through Google Maps or my Mobile browser. This is especially valuable on a road trip looking for gas stations, ATM’s, liquor stores or anything else unique.

As we enterered another decade (Happy New Year!), I wanted to highlight one of my favorite apps I discovered in 2009. Midway through the year, I jailbroke my iPhone 3G because I wanted video recording capability but I didn’t have $300 extra dollars to spend on an iPhone 3GS.

Today I am going to discuss one of my favorite “up and coming” services – Cinch. I was turned onto this service by both Louis Gray and Jesse Stay who spoke about it on Friendfeed and their respective blogs. Cinch is a service that allows you to create and share micropodcasts, images and text all on one platform. My main use of cinch will be for interviews of musicians for my Mirth Nadir show.

As a sports lover with an affection for timely photographer, Sports Illustrated digita magazine has me officially excited in a big way. I was browsing one of my favorite music business sites yesterday and ran across this sweet video. I have been a loyal subscriber to Sports Illustrated since 1986 (the episode with childhood icon Len Bias was my first issue ironically).

I must admit, I am late to the game in learning about Dropbox. Starting in late 2008 and leading into 2009, this application has been getting some great buzz. In simple terms, Dropbox is a file syncing system that allows you to carry your files with you 24/7. You can have your iphone (or any mobile phone), or just web-access and your files are there waiting for you. If you are really into programming you can design some scripts which really turn on the power of Dropbox.
