Are iOS and a radar detector a good pair? A look at Cobra iRadar

by Mel Martin (Aug 29th, 2011)

I think so. I've been testing Cobra iRadar, a hardware radar detector that connects via Bluetooth to your iPhone for up to date warnings of police radar, and speed/red light camera detection. The system consist of a small radar receiver that attaches to your windshield, and a free app that ...

A look at Weather+ and more weather apps for your forecasting pleasure

by Mel Martin (Mar 25th, 2011)

There are dozens of weather apps available for iOS. Most of us are pretty interested in the weather, no matter where we live. It can affect our schedules, our driving and our recreation. In my case, I do both landscape and astronomical photography, so I'm all over the latest weather information ...

Cobra iRadar on the CES 2011 show floor

by Mike Schramm (Jan 6th, 2011)

We liked the idea of the iRadar when we first heard about it, and Cobra put the device front and center at its CES 2011 booth (well, right next to the girls in skimpy police uniforms). The iRadar is a radar detector that hooks right up to Cobra's official iPhone app, and it will not only alert ...

A tale of two iPad weather apps

by Mel Martin (May 26th, 2010)

Since Apple stripped the iPhone weather app from the iPad, it left the door open for 3rd parties to do their thing. They've done just that, and I'd like to spotlight two apps that come at weather from very different places. We've looked briefly at both these apps. Our Victor Agreda Jr. used ...

by Mike Schramm (Mar 11th, 2009)

We're at a new juncture in the course of iPhone development, I believe.

NMobile [iTunes link] allows you to locate speed traps, red light cameras, and radar locations. All of these speed detection devices are mapped out on a Microsoft Live map -- this is one ...

A few of my favorite Widgets

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 21st, 2006)

When my machine was a rickety little 800 MHz iBook, crusted with too many hacks, apps and utilities, I just gave up on Widgets. Dashboard was a system hog on an already dog-slow machine, and I just killed it off. My MacBook Pro is another story. While I've eschewed the volume of Widgets a true ...

Widget watch: Radar in Motion

by Dave Caolo (Jul 14th, 2005)

I first saw this widget earlier in the week at Macworld when someone sitting next to me pulled it up on his dashboard. Radar in Motion pulls a radar image of a user-specified location (either zip code or a more general region) from The Weather Channel and displays the animation. Click it while its ...
