iPhone gets More Cowbell for Winter Olympics

by Jay Garrett on February 11, 2010

You can’t have winter sports without the backing track of cowbells being whacked as a skier goes flying past.

You try getting a cowbell on a plane in the current security climate and you’re not only going to be looking at getting nudie-scanned but probably getting unpleasantly probed.

Fear not as this inexpensive iPhone app is here to fill that void.

Pick your nation’s flag and shake your iPhone frantically as you no doubt watch Team GB lagging behind in some event-or-other (I’m hoping for a Canadian gold in the Hockey at least).

As well as the cowbell (as if you need anything else), you get a full schedule of Winter Olympic events, a handy Twitter feed of dozens of Olympic athletes, media outlets and bloggers, and a live medal table (you might notice that Kazakhstan is there but no Team GB – very telling).

You can even post comments and photos simultaneously to Facebook and/or Twitter as well as on the Live Wall.

It only costs £0.59 from the App Store and even if you don’t care about the Olympics you get a wicked Cowbell app ;)

Spoonfed free iPhone App – Know What’s Going on and Where in London

by Jay G on May 11, 2009

spoonfedSpoonfed want to make it less likely that you’ll miss stuff in this glorious capital called Lodon.

I love livining in London as there’s always something to do – but sometimes that can also mean that the chances of me finding out about something after it’s happened is also more likely.

The amount of gigs, burlesque and comedy shows that I’ve missed just because I didn’t read the listings for a week or buy a magazine are innumerable.

Through the mighty power of the iPhone hooked up the knowledgebase of the Spoonfed app you can soon become the go-to-person for all entertainment queries.

You’re dropped slap-bang into the middle of the action with Twitter feeds from venues updating you on what’s going on around you and where, including reviews from critics.

You can even share your own opinions on these events when you get there.

Its radar feature is what’s got me hitting ‘Download App’.

It shows you where you are and a number of pinpoints pop up with real-time information on what’s going down in your locale.

It could be a secret gig, a hidden gem of a pub or news that the concert you’re trekking across London for has been cancelled.

It’s gotta be worth it – as it costs absolutely nothing!

This is also a brilliant app for those visiting the UK Capital and want to catch a West-End show or want to know where to get Great British beer from :)

Let me never hear those words, “I’m bored” ever again London-based Gadgety readers!
