"The iOS platform is as revolutionary, exciting and filled with promise as the original Macintosh or PC was last century, he said.
"But it's already hard to find the truly great apps and games from the tens of thousands on the App Store.
"We'll do the hard work on readers' behalf, and, through reviews, tutorials and more, help everyone's iPhone, iPad or iPod touch reach its full potential!"
