Our friends at Just Mobile have announced the Gum Max portable battery for Apple's line of iDevices. The stylish, portable battery has more than enough juice to fully charge any device that sports an Apple dock connector or mini-USB port.
The Gum Max's aluminum shell and LED indicators help it fit in perfectly with your other Apple products and accessories, and the battery itself can be easily stored in a large pocket or laptop bag.
Apple introduced AppleCare+ alongside the release of the iPhone 4S, and there's been plenty of confusion surrounding the new warranty plan since then. Instead of the typical AppleCare plan that has been in place for years, AppleCare+ offers extended coverage to new iPhone customers with new requirements.
If you bought an iPhone 4S on launch day, you're unable to buy AppleCare+ now. If you plan on purchasing the iPhone 4S, or didn't buy it on launch day, you have a 30-day window to purchase the plan before you're left out in the unprotected cold.
Today I'm reviewing a personal assistant for the iPhone, and its name isn't Siri.
Alfred is your intelligent assistant for wining, dining, and generally having a good time. The app answers questions like, "What should I eat?" and "Where should I party?" Alfred learns over time, and pretty soon you'll find that the charming little robot knows more about yourself than you do.

Amazon recently unveiled the Kindle Fire. The new tablet has seen a fair amount of success, although it's definitely not an iPad killer. What's next for Amazon? A phone, of course!
While details on such a device are scarce, it's believed that Amazon will launch a KindlePhone in 2012. Android is expected to be the operating system of choice...
Apple has killed the only game it ever made for the App Store. Texas Hold'em for iPhone is no longer available. The game originally debuted on the iPod in 2006, and Texas Hold'em was revamped with the launch of the App Store in 2008.
The game was sold for $4.99 and was last updated in September of 2008, which goes to show how much Apple cared about the title in the first place.

Google has put its Gmail app back on the App Store. After an embarrassing fiasco in which the app was made available and then pulled after only a couple of hours, Gmail for iOS has been resubmitted to the App Store for everyone to download.
Does the app still suck? You be the judge...
