Since the iPhone 4 we always talk about the famous death grip. But according to Tawkon its not only bad for your iPhone but also bad for your health. They say that when you block the antenna of you cell phone your phone will send more power to the antenna, if your antenna uses more power it will also spread more radiation. And by now we all know that cellular radiation is bad for your health. Does this mean the death grip is literal a Death grip? Well Tawkon created a App to measure the radiation of your iPhone, Blackberry or Android. The app is not yet available in the App Store. In the movie above you can see the iPhone 4 is still using less radiation than the BlackBerry 9700 or Nexus One when you use the death grip.

New day new….. App Store? Yea that’s right, OpenAppMkt is a web-based third party app store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The apps that you can download are completely written in HTML, if you would like to install a app alls you have to do is push the “add to home” button. The good thing of OpenAppMkt is that you don’t need a jailbroken device to use it (like Cydia). All you have to do is go to http://www.OpenAppmkt.com/ and follow the instructions. You are not really installing something when you hit the “add to home” button, all you really do is create a Safari bookmark on your home screen. They are all web apps, so to use the apps you need a internet connection. » OpenAppMkt: Web-Based Third Party App Store
