iPhone Apps for Skiers

Posted in iPhone News by admin. Published March 7th, 2010

There are a variety of skiing, ski resort, weather, and snow conditions apps available for your iPhone and iPod Touch. You can download apps that will give you information on gear, ski and snow conditions, open lifts, weather, trail maps, and directions to both U.S. and international ski resorts.

There are also apps, like Ski-O-Meter, which displays both your maximum and average speed, and how much distance you have covered. The SkiTips iPhone Apps offers skiing instruction, enabling skiers to take their skiing lessons on the slopes with them. SkiTips1 contains 30 lessons that teach all the fundamentals of skiing as well as carved turns and unweighting turns.

Here’s a list of the top iPhone apps for skiers. To download an app, visit the App Store by tapping on the icon on your phone and search for the application you are interested in. Or, visit Apple’s online App Store and use Power Search to search for an application using “skiing” or “ski” as keywords.

Analyst: iPad Set to Evolve like iPhone

Posted in iPhone News by admin. Published March 6th, 2010

Apple’s iPhone grew into more than just another smartphone after it was launched, and that’s exactly what UBS analyst Maynard Um thinks is about to happen with the iPad, too.

“We believe there has been heated debate as to how well the iPad will sell given its lack of Flash capability for web browsing and questions as to whether its screen is superior to other ebook readers,” Mr. Um said. “However, we believe the utility of the iPad will evolve materially just as the original 2G iPhone evolved to become more than just an iPod with phone capabilities.”
