So You Forgot To Send Aunt Lucy A Christma Card and the postoffice is closed for Christmas. Uh Oh.

Sure, you could call… but you’ll get an icy "how could you forget about me" voice on the receiving end for sure.

Then again, you could blame the Postal Service… but you used that excuse last year!

Or… you could grab hiCard Holiday from the App Store and, within seconds, send a greeting on it way. hiCard is…

We love Etymotic headsets and we have no doubt that

"spmwinkel"

is going to love the pair Etymotic will be sending after the holiday.  

Our thanks to everyone at Etymotic, all of you, and andrew.hedges (who created the random number picker that took the pressure off us).

Our App and More Giveaway resumes tomorrow morning and continues until the new year. We have a whole lot of apps and other great iPhone and iPod Touch accessories to share!

Happy Holidays

iPhone App developers Chilli X need a hand. They have just submitted "Done", their latest app, to the App Store. In their own words,

Done is a great little To Do list with some unique features but we know that there’s a danger that even a beautifully designed list can look pretty boring when it’s full of mundane, everyday tasks – Call John, Put the cat out, Do the shopping…

So here’s the thing… there are quite a few to do list applications already in the App Store. (I should know, as I’ve downloaded and tried just about all of them.) They run the gamut from horrific to excellent. wasn’t all that excited about looking at yet another ToDo list but did, for the sake of the site (and because they tend to do some pretty interesting stuff). After looking at the Chilli X website I have to admit it, Done has an interesting features and I’m really looking forward actually seeing the application when it is released. For example —

The saying goes "you get what you pay for". By and large that tends to be absolutely true. There are, of course, some exceptions. Sometimes you come upon an exceptionally good deal. (My friend Wayne over on Gear Diary has an amazing ability to scour the Internet, find some of these gems, and share them with some of the site’s readers.)

Sometimes iPhone Application News and Review sites team up with developers and give away some of the best apps available. (And we’re just getting rolling! But pleeeeease, if you enter a contest log in first so we know where to send the app codes.)

And sometimes, there are just some good deals to be found. The problem is, while there are lots of lists of free and discounted apps floating around, a huge percentage of them just aren’t very good. And we’re not talking "aren’t very good" because I don’t like the particular game — I’m talking "aren’t very good" because they aren’t very good. Here, are a few apps that are currently free which are pretty good. All of them may not be to everyone’s liking but  they are definitely worth a look —

I reviewed Take A Note earlier today. 

It’s an impressive notes app that allows you to take text, voice, picture, and hand-drawn notes. 

It’s as good an implementation as I’ve seen and this is just the initial release.  Look for big things from this app in the future.

I’m at the point in my life where I need to monitor my blood pressure. 

I know a lot of us are and BP Buddy is a great way to use the iPhone or the iPod Touch to keep track of it.  

We have 10 copis of to give away tonight at 11pm.

Fleck is a nice, challenging puzzle game. 

When I went to review it a few weeks ago, I didn’t expect to like it all that much.  I did and I do.

Juxtposer is just one of those apps that you either love or you hate. 

Personally, I love it and don’t understand how anyone could not. Think about it, you take a picture and you take another picture, you take the parts of the first picture that you like and you put them where you want on the second picture. 

For example, my dog’s face on a certain politician’s head

or

my 60 year-old father-in-laws head on the body of a decreped old 110 year-old,

or

my head on my wife’s body andmy wife’s head on my body (I definitely get the better deal in that one). 

That’s just funny and the world needs more funny.  I love this app. 

We have 3 copies to give away tonight at 11pm.

I hate the cold weather. 

I’m not a big fan of the snow. 

Give me a broiling sun and the beach and I’m really happy.  Cold and snowy, however, not so much. 

So, as you might imagine, I’m not a hug snow globe fan.  If you are, though, eSnowglobe is a really nice implementation of the snow globe on the iPhone. 

We have 2 copies to give away tonight at 11pm.
