What’s in Your Pocket? TheTechTemple’s HTC “SuperHero”
The Tech Temple answered our call for reviews with a two-parter on his HTC SuperHero (as he calls it), a Sprint HTC Hero flashed with the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM. We like this video because it leads us into the land of rooting and modding with a gentle but not at all dumbed-down tone of voice.

Splice App Review For iOS – User Submitted
When the iPhone 4 was released, Apple released iMovie for iOS along with it. What a disappointment.
