No TiPb Live Tonight, More GDC Coverage to Come!
Mar 10th
Apologies everyone but there won’t be a TiPb Live! tonight due to me being at GDC 2010, Chad being sick, and Mickey being horribly disappointed in the both of us.
We’ll try to make it up to you with some more great GDC coverage, however. I’ve shot tons of video for TiPb Apps and will be posting it up in the feed asap. If you’re hungry for instant content, I’m posting notes over on Twitter. Otherwise hang tight, we’ll have a round up later this week.
(Also did some moonlighting for PreCentral.net and WMExperts, so if you want to see what the competition is up to with webOS and Windows Phone 7 Series, check that out).

‘Happy Hours’ Appeals to Your Inner Jimmy Buffet
Mar 2nd
A new app has arrived in the Android Market called Happy Hours and it is likely to be a hit. It’s one of those “genius-in-simplicity” applications that appeals to many of us. Open the app up, let it detect where you are via GPS, and find nearby happy hours. Period. While this might not be the newest idea on the planet, it does offer one advantage over similar apps. Rather than being confined to specific metropolitan markets or one in particular, Happy Hours kicks off with more than 30 to start.
Designed with help from Village Voice Media, the app pulls up over 15,000 happy hours from across the United States and offers up additional resources. Learn what kind of food is service, what the atmosphere is like, and read reviews from other users.
The following cities are already supported by Happy Hours: Akron, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Boulder, Broward / Palm Beach, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Oakland, Orange County, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Saint Paul, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Seattle Eastside, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington DC

So, to help us countdown to the big day, we’re running a little give-away. Actually, an iPad sized give-away! Every week from now until the iPad is officially released, the TiPb Store is going to give away awesome iPhone accessories, and every time you enter the give away of the week, you get another entry into our big iPad give away as well.

If that’s too complicated, let us simplify — enter as many TiPb give aways as you can and you’ll have the best chance possible at the iPad. Clear?
The first qualifying give-away will be posted tomorrow, but you may just want to head on over and subscribe to our TiPb YouTube channel now, if you know what we mean…
