I discovered a new iPhone app today called Mo Discovers: Stanley Park and as I spend much time trekking through Stanley Park’s trails, slipping in its mud, photographing its natural beauty and have blogged about it for the last five years so, I figured this application was worth a download.

September 8th, 2008 by Miss604   7 Comments

I think I’m a bad iPhone owner. I haven’t upgraded, I don’t have a data plan (meaning, it’s a jailbroken, first gen), but truth is – it’s working just the way I need it to. I decided to try out a video recording app since my Flip Camera seems to think it’s full even though [...]

A while back I was invited to a Facebook event that would celebrate the (official) arrival of the iPhone in Canada on July 11th. Lately with all the news about plans and the fact that you can only get the iPhone at a Rogers or Fido outlet several people have had enough.

I’ve been getting a lot of funny looks with my bedazzled iPhone, wrapped in a case I bought for a [...]

I haven’t touched on my Vancouver Girl iPhone series in a while but I figure with its presence in the movie last night, and the Apple Store opening last weekend, it was time for a revival. What makes this latest edition special? It’s a hybrid iPhone series AND Link Fest.
