Touching a screen is so tiring. I don't want to move my hands: there must be an easier way to launch Angry Birds. Can't I just look at an app to launch it? Wait, I can? Wow.

If you don't have a tape measure, buy one. But even if you do have a tape measure, there are things you just can't measure because they're either too large, or downright inaccessible. Instead of hauling out the ladder, let today's iPhone app, Measured, figure out the height and width for you by taking a photo.
A new version of the Sky Sports News app built exclusively for iPad has been launched today, including live and on-demand video support so you can watch the Sky Sports News channel from within the app. It is for very big fans of Sky Sports.
That all-new iPhone Starbucks app we said was coming to the UK? Now we've got it. It's up on the UK iTunes shop, giving those who worship the two towers of capitalism the chance to manage and pay for their expensive beverages and sandwiches on their expensive telephones. What has gone wrong with the world? [iTunes via Starbucks]
The makers of a new iOS app have gathered together the locations of some of the known Banksy work in London, creating an interactive guide to where the artist/vandal has placed some of his pieces.
Think back to your childhood, and the cartoons you liked to watch on a Saturday morning. Did they have hyperactive colour-bomb visuals, by any chance? Nefarious villains and gregarious heroes? How about squalling guitars on the soundtrack? If you've answered "yes" to any of the above, there's a strong chance you'll get a big kick out of Seal Force.
Imagine a social network that combines the voyeurism of Facebook with the visual intimacy of Instagram, the real-time newsreel of Twitter with the exclusiveness of a backyard barbecue. It exists. It's Path. And over the past few weeks it's forever changed how I see my own little slice of the world. It's going to be huge.
The New Year festivities are receding into memory, but the hangover still lingers. Without a big new release on the App Store to dispel the fog, let's revisit one of the brighter spots of 2011 – Temple Run. Inspired by the idol sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark, this is an endless running game with oodles of humour and style, and it's completely free.
new hack by iOS app developer and Apple TV tinkerer Steve Troughton-Smith allows you to run iOS apps using a big screen on a jailbroken Apple TV.
"Hey, let's all meet at Bill's party around 8pm." And that conversation was the last time you saw half of your friends. Tonight is going to be insanity. You'll be lucky you even make it to midnight, let alone keep your group together. But you know what, let's try it anyways.
Developing for iOS has its share of tradeoffs: you get to put up a stall in the busiest app bazaar in the world, but only if you jump through Apple's many, many hoops. Or, as these clever underminers did, just find ways around them.
This is not a real thing. Don't go crazy. The apparent version of Siri on the Android Market is, of course, no such thing, with the app simply re-branding existing Android voice functions and adding a Siri logo to Google phones.
The PM is set to receive his own totally custom iPad app, which will let him see up-to-the-minute reports of critical UK data. And play games and go on Twitter when those EU meetings get a bit boring.
Well look at that. Someone truly loves you. Or they're trying to buy your love. Either way, a shiny new iPad 2 is currently siting in your lap. I think you just won [insert holiday of choice here].
Air Dictate is a clever little app that ports the power of Siri over to the Mac. Kind of. It doesn't have any of the bells and whistles of Siri (don't go starting conversations!) but rather, uses the extremely accurate speech recognition engine in Siri to dictate text to your Mac.
Moving text from your iPhone to your Mac usually involves copying it to an email. Sending the email. Copying it from the email and pasting it where I need to it go. Usually it's a URL or snippet of text I need access to while on the go. And getting text from the Mac to the iPhone is the same in reverse.
