YouDevotion: 5 Daily Devotionals in 1 Mobile App!


by

This past Summer I reviewed a set of devotional apps for iOS/Android. They were pretty solid, but I had a few critiques:

“The $1.99 price point seems a little high, to me, considering you’re only paying for features while the content has simply been regenerated.

Now, had this entire list of apps been crammed into one, you’d be a fool not to jump on it! [bold added]

Despite the price point, if you’re in the need for a daily devotional app, this is one to consider. I read a hardback version of Streams, so the Daily Streams app is really tempting me! It would be great to have it on my mobile device!”

I hope it isn’t too weird that I quoted myself, but I thought I would save you a click to the post. 😉

The developer of this fine app followed my advice and now delivers all five devotionals into one app! It’s EPIC!

I was skeptical at first when I heard about a new, smaller tablet on the market that claimed to be just as good as its competitors, if not better, yet priced even lower than any other model I have seen.  But coming in at just $179, the MYeebo Tablet is almost as good as it says it is.

Made by a company called ACM (All Christian Media) Digital, they boast an 8″ screen, dual-core processor, running the latest version of Andriod.  But the true value that sets it apart from all other tablets is it comes preloaded with Christian media.

Apple vs Google: Is This Tech Rivalry 2.0?


by

Nearly two decades, a technology war was brewing that would not be defined for many years and completely reshaped the landscape of the computing world. Apple and Microsoft started on equal footing but Microsoft focused on making inexpensive hardware along with their DOS system that the everyday person could afford whereas Apple went with the superior hardware that simply cost too much.

As computers became more and more cost effective across the board and Windows became the target of viruses and the “blue screen of death” that Macs began to gain a foothold. When mobile devices came on the scene, Apple knew they had the operating system, capability, and brand to lead the market.

The Rise of Android


by

Google has made a huge play this year to get their Android operating system into the market and eat into some of Apple’s market share that it has dominated in with smart phones. With this investment of the Android OS, we have seen huge strides and development in mobile operating systems and how they can integrate practically with your life. Even better, the costs of these systems seems to also be dropping, even if it is only $50 this year.
