He may be one of Apple's co-founders alongside Steve Jobs, but Steve Wozniak has never been shy of telling it like it is. He's been known to speak his mind on plenty of Apple's product lines, and not always showing them in the best light.
When I jumped onto the iOS bandwagon a couple of months ago, I was unanimously directed towards Reeder when I asked fellow enthusiasts for the best RSS reader on the platform. Being the news junkie that I am, Reeder was the first app I bought as soon as I set up my App Store account. I fell in love in the app at first sight! It’s user-experience is absolutely fantastic!

Research In Motion's once-mighty BlackBerry brand is fast losing all relevance in the market. Stifled out by the likes of iOS and Android, it seems to have plummeted down to a level from which even BlackBerry Messenger cannot dredge it from. But just when you might have thought that was it, one particular developer has created a mod which allows iOS apps to run on the almost-forgotten PlayBook tablet.
Here at Redmond Pie, we do like a good meme-based app or two, and although most of them often border on the ridiculous, there's certainly no harm in kicking back and having a cheap laugh, now is there?
With WWDC wrapped up and iOS 6 now seeding to developers, the Apple-swayed community has well and truly set its sights on the next iPhone, which, depending on which report you read, is said to be shipping from September or October.
