A couple of weeks ago I did a story about the "Top Ten iPhone Apps for Photographers" and now another site has come up with a list of their top FREE photo apps. The main difference, of course, is that my list also included paid apps for the iPhone. The other difference is that the free list seems more focused on consumers and beginning photographers who use the iPhone and my list was more oriented toward professionals. All of which proves that the iPhone is being used by a broad range of photographers.

From a remote control for your digital SLR, to a depth of field calculator, to a program that turns your iPhone screen into a light source, I picked my top ten favorite photo apps for the iPhone. Rather than just choose iPhone apps that use the phone's built-in camera, I tried to pick a variety of programs you can use with your regular digital camera or digital SLR to improve your photography. You can check out the "Top Ten iPhone Apps for Photographers" list and review by clicking here.

I just finished writing a story about the "Five Best Blu-Ray Players Under $200" when Universal Studios announces it's added some new Blu-ray bells and whistles to the forthcoming release of Fast & Furious. The latest trick? If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch and a Blu-ray player that can connect to the Internet, you can control some of the features on the two-disc Fast & Furious release. For instance, there's a Fast & Furious "Virtual Garage" feature on one of the Blu-ray discs that'll let you adjust the cars using the accelerometer in your iPhone -- just...

Speaking of great iPhone apps for Biz Fast Trackers, I'm happy to see that one my favorite business organizational programs is now available for the iPhone. Called Bento -- it's named after those traditional Japanese "box" lunches -- the program is a great way to sync your digital calendars, special projects, expenses, client lists, billing, shipping info, and many other tasks in one piece of software. Known as the little brother to Filemaker Pro, Bento 2 is a very simple but surprisingly robust database program for running a small business. (Great for freelancers, such as yours truly!) The new Bento...

I don't know what it is about Crumpler laptop bags that I like so much. They aren't, necessarily, the most practical bags out there. Though they look pretty sharp, it seems that every bag I've tried from Crumpler has some kind of design flaw which, while usually relatively minor, is just irritating enough to make me wonder -- what were they thinking? They certainly aren't the cheapest bags out there either. There's one jumbo model from Crumpler called the Brazillion Dollar Home which retails for nearly $300 while the standard sizes typically sell for $100-200. And while I generally like the fun...

Though I'm still not crazy about the touchscreen keyboard -- bleh! -- I continue to be amazed at how much easier my Biz Fast Tracker lifestyle has become since I bought an Apple iPhone 3G. Though Blackberrys -- particularly the Blackberry Bold -- are still champs for email power users, the iPhone has the competition beat for overall functionality thanks to its incredible selection of applications from the iPhone "App Store."  And while the impulse with the App Store is to pick up as many of these cool though occasionally useless applications as you can get your hands on --...

If you've ever tried to watch a movie or video on your iPhone on an airplane, you know your arm can get mighty tired after just a few minutes of holding the screen in front of your face. Though there are tons of iPhone holders you can buy, why spend money when you can just make one from available materials in your airline seat? Though it's a little crude, this do-it-yourself airline "barf bag" holder (see picture) seems as good as anything for nesting your iPhone so you can sit back and watch episodes of "The Office," even when you're not...
