VineBy Morgan O’Leary

The latest app craze seems to be centered on video apps like Cinemagram, Viddy, and Vine. No wonder, with Twitter recently unveiling Vine on Jan. 24. The launch generated buzz about the future of content creation and consumption on social media. In short, Vine allows iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad users create and post short video clips to Twitter and Facebook. Simply point your mobile device, touch the screen and the app records up to six seconds. At this link, you can check out some cool examples that chronicle the city of Hong Kong with a batch of the six-second videos. Continue reading →

In honor of Veteran’s Day, this weekend I’ll be jetting off for a weekend getaway. I’m not looking forward to the travel process, which I find to be long and tedious (especially when flying). Getting to the airport, checking in, security, etc. Airports and I enjoy a love/hate relationship as a result of these procedures.

Because I’ve recently acquired a new iPhone (which is now always within an arm’s reach), I started to think about how I could use my phone in an airplane or other places in the airport where service might be limited. Contrary to what I had assumed, there are quite a few apps out there that are fully functional in airplane mode. Whether you are getting ready for takeoff, or flying high at 40,000 feet, there are a few apps that will keep you amused. If you don’t feel like sleeping, listening to music, or reading while on the plane, here are a few apps you can use while you are up in the air:

Mobile devices seem to be increasingly indispensable to us in our day-to-day lives, and it’s true – they are great for so many things.
