Do You Let Your Kids Play With Your iPhone?
Mama's favorite lil piece of technology may soon become junior's, too.

Do You Use Websites and Apps to Get Fit?
Owning an iPhone is pretty cool — in large part because there really is an "app for that," especially in the health and fitness category. There are apps that count calories, motivate you to do push-ups, map your runs, and provide yoga sequences. I dare you to think of anything fitness related and not find an app for it.
Get "Stupidity Insurance" With TigerText
If Tiger Woods had a time machine, he might go back and install this app. Though it's not actually named for the adultering golfer, TigerText is another reason why cheating partners and spouses might have a newfound friend in the iPhone.
While other iPhone apps, like iTrust help to safeguard against nosy partners, TigerText goes one step further to ensure that even if your partner's snooping around they likely won't find anything.

So it only makes sense that there is an iPhone app from the makers of PMSBuddy, the service that has the single goal to "keep you aware of when your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter, or any other women in your life are closing in on "that time of the month" — when things can get intense."
When someone asks me, "Is it that time of the month?"
