As 2009 is coming to an end (yes, I know a month and a half still) I thought about how the iPhone 3Gs came out and I decided to take a look back on what the iPhone itself has accomplished. Most of us know that the iPhone wasn't the first smartphone but it did change the world of smartphones. Today I'm going to go through the top 10 ways the iPhone changed the world of smartphones and even cell phones forever.
To be brutally honest, when I first saw the premiere trailer for New Super Mario Bros. Wii... I wasn't excited by any stretch of the imagination. I pretty much just sat in my chair with my mouth wide open, just thinking to myself, "how could this be Nintendo's choice for their holiday game?" But as the day's drew near to its release, and as I watched new images and gameplay come in, slowly, yet surely, my position had completely changed on where I stood with the game. I HAD to have this game.
Well, it came in... I played it... I beat it... and now the only thing left to do is review it.

Ricardo, Brandon, and Nick take some time to tear this game down to its roots in this original collaborative review - We explain everything.
Easily the most anticipated game of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had much to live up to. And usually hype kills a product - under achieving the expectations of old and new fans could potentially derail the game. How could Modern Warfare 2 outdo its predecessor when the original was considered to be perfect; perfect in both campaign and multi-player. I'll tell you how... by going so over-the-top that you would literally forget what even transpired in COD4. But does over-the-top translate into a good game?
So, every few years there’s a new Ratchet and Clank game on the market for Sony fans. The series itself has always had its up's with great games like Up Your Arsenal, and down's with Ratchet: Deadlocked. Despite all the problems some of the games had, they were all still pretty entertaining enough to warrant a nice weekend rental.
So the question is - Is this game worth more then just a rental?
Everyone has seen external chargers for your iPhone, Blackberry, or what ever, but those usually cost a fortune and only last a certain amount of time. This, however, isn’t one of those. Instead, the Duracell Instant Charger defines awesome. This works with any USB-compatible devices with your adapters.
The two models are Instant Charger ($20) and Powerhouse Charger ($50). Both are lightweight, very easy to use, and perfect, since they are battery operated. Once the batteries die just put in 2 new ones and you’re good to go - no more need to recharge the extra device. With no unnecessary buttons, you’ll only need to navigate an on/off switch, and a simple indicator light (red when charging, green when charged).
The Powerhouse stores enough power to charge an iPhone 3G or Blackberry Curve 1.2 times, or an iPod Nano 4 times. Most iPhone charging solutions have their own special cases, but this thing is portable and costs less than $100.
I’ve been using it for a while and for me one word says it all: perfect. The device is small, functional, and cheap - Why wouldn’t you want it?
