You enter the name, phone number or e-mail id of the “person of interest” and DateCheck instantly scans the online and offline public records. The aptly named “Sleaze Detector” screens the seemingly perfect date who sounds too good to be true for drug possession, assault, DUI or other convictions. On getting the “OK” signal, you can probe further with “Net Worth” which basically gives carte blanche for being a nosy-parker and gives you juicy tidbits about the date’s home , his/her worth etc. Then if you are worried about any lurking ex-girlfriend, “Living Situation” gives you the scoop on who else inhabits the same address. You could choose to let all spontaneity slip away and get the date’s horoscope, the social networking sites he/she frequents etc. While you might be well used to goggling your potential dates, imagine all the impromptu possibilities this app opens up! You could say yes immediately to the cute guy who asks you out at the grocery store after just one quick trip to the restroom and getting the green signal from your DateCheck.

“Letting a stranger into your life is a huge risk, and in the age of Internet anonymity, a simple online search isn’t enough to tell you everything you need to know,” said Intelius co-founder John Arnold. “The Date Check mobile application removes some of the guesswork and gives you the confidence to decide on the spot if continuing the conversation is worth your time.”

Date Check can be found in the iPhone app store. The Android and Blackberry versions comes out next month. You pay $19.95 for a criminal check, and $14.95 for a property and neighborhood report. Social networking profiles cost $9.95, and people search reports $1.95. The whole enchilada would be $39.95. As the company puts it “ Look up before you hook up!”

The word is out: yesterday morning, Sirius had a private, invitation-only party in New York City to announce the release of its newest product, the Sirius XM Skydock for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Nicknamed the “Skydock” with a market price of $119.99, the product will be able to turn the iPhone or iPod touch into a working satellite radio and adapt to your own playlists, too. It will work in tandem with the Sirius/XM iPhone app and will have the ability to tag songs for download from iTunes as you hear them on the radio. It also gives users access to the all XM and “the Best of SIRIUS” channel. No exact release date has been set, but the official Sirius press release promises the product in stores in fall 2009 () .

If the idea of paper-formed iPhone cards disgusts you, take this at heart: the illusion of the iPhone on the cards is so good, I was convinced that the product was suggesting you buy 52 iPhones and display 1 card face on each one, and play cards with real iPhones. Sounds excessive: about $5,200 too excessive.

Breathe a sigh of relief: these playing card, super illusionistic iPhone cards are only $25.00 at Meninos.us.
Grab ‘em before they’re gone! Maybe you can practice the touch screen card-swindling technique for when you can actually afford a real iPhone.

Apparently Apple, for a very brief moment in time, did not like crying babies.

Apple approved a controversial iPhone application, “Baby Shaker,” then immediately had to take it down, due to outrage and protest from child protection groups.

The app does just what it says. It puts a baby on the screen. It begins to cry. And then you see how long you can take the annoyance before you shake the crap out of your phone.

“On a plane, on the bus, in a theater. Babies are everywhere you don’t want them to be! They’re always distracting you from preparing for that big presentation at work with their incessant crying. Before Baby Shaker there was nothing you could do about it.

“Now, Baby Shaker gives you a charming drawing of a baby sure to make those with a less than iron will fawn. True to life, it begins to annoy you immediately. See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!”

Very interesting, and yes, a cruel attempt at fun and humor.

I’m sure Michael Vick for a brief moment in time was thinking of how to create an app for fighting pitbulls to help him earn his millions back.

I love how Apple keeps trying to keep the iPhone.

The latest Apple patent shows how Steve Jobs and the boys have applied for a patent for a type of video chatting. There are looking to create a front-facing video camera for chatting for the next generation iPhone. Also included in the patent is a morphing interface that will adapt to the motion of the user. Meaning, if you’re shaking like crazy, the elements on the screen will get bigger so you can punch them with your stubby digits.

Now, will they just figure out a way to send picture messages through text messaging. Is that to much to ask Mr. Jobs!?

Yep. That’s the new word on the street.

And a part of me believes it too. Only because as of recently, I just bought my second iPhone in year because I broke my screen and Mr. Jobs won’t allow me to just replace the screen. Oh no. I had to buy the whole unit.

Well done Steve. Well done.

Anyways, not sure how much truth there is to this rumor or what is going to be so new about the new iPhone. Check back often and we’ll update you.

Sick of taking pictures with the iPhone, only to have the lighting to turn out crappy.

I don’t know why the iPhone doesn’t have a flash on it. Even my old Blackberry had one.

Anyways, if you’re the proud owner of an iPhone, you don’t have to worry about needing a flash if you pick up one of these. The Snapture Flash sleeve adds a Xenon flash to the iPhone, helping to brighten things up. Apparently the great thing about this is that it doesn’t drain on the battery, as it’s not always on. And you can pretty much take about 1,000 pictures before the battery does die.

If you need to take more than 1,000 pictures, then I suggest you just buy a regular camera.

It’s official.

The iPhone can do everything but walk the dog and do the dishes.

Well, I may be exaggerating a little bit, but not by much. But if you’re looking for something a bit more fun and bright to charge your iPhone at night and you’re too cheap to fork over some cash for a speaker dock or more, then this might be for you.

Scosche has come out with the reviveLITE, that not only serves as a charging station for your beloved iPhone, but it can also be your night light during those twilight hours so you don’t you run into the wall when you’re going for that midnight tinkle.

So how much does this beacon cost you? Oh, about $40. Here, check it out at Scosche.

If you’re the proud owner of a 3G iPhone, you know that the battery life on this phone isn’t exactly spectacular. And if you’re always on the go, then your chances of running out of battery juice is much greater if you don’t have a car charger hooked up in your car.

Well, here’s a great deal on a Griffin iPhone car charger and power bundle from DrugStore.com. The suggested price for this car charger is $39.99, but they’re giving it to you for $27.99.
