Hell, I just wish they would add themes to the iPod Touch. I hate the basic one they have now. I don't just mean the screen saver screen either. I'm talking about the entire springboard setup.

Today only.... 1Password Pro for free! Very handy password app.

http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-news...-appstore.html

I thought this was a worthy note, considering this app is usually $9.99. Since this isn’t the 1Password Pro they intended it to be, there will be an update to include organization tools like folders and favorites, syncing over-the-air with MobileMe and WebDAV, etc. At that time, the price will be raised to $14.99. About a week ago Agile Web Solutions decided to celebrate their release of 1Password 3 for Mac by offering the PRO iPhone version for free until December 1st. Available in iTunes.

1Password lets you store important information you otherwise wouldn't keep on your iPhone, essentially becoming a digital safebox. Or as they dub it "A Safe in Your Pocket". This makes it feel a little safer to save things like Website Login information, membership information, and notes. All the data is encrypted with one or even two passwords.

Although this app is free, be sure to take note there are some requirements to get a few of the syncing features in this app to work. Some of these features require 1Password For Mac which is a $40 application for MacOS X. Nonetheless, this can be rather useful even without the application.

From the Developer:
Quote:

• Saves web site login credentials, personal identity information (such as names, addresses and telephone numbers), a variety of information that you might find in your wallet (licenses, social security numbers, credit cards, etc.), and freeform secure notes to store any data you'd like to keep safe from prying eyes.
• Locks your data behind both a four-digit unlock code and a master password, both of which you configure. Even if your mobile device is stolen or misplaced, your 1Password data is safe.
• Has a browser built right into it. Tap a saved login and you're immediately taken to the site, your credentials filled in, ready to be submitted.
• [BSyncs safely and securely with 1Password for the Mac[/b] over a WiFi connection, provided both the mobile device and the Mac are on the same network. The sync is two-way, so new information can be easily added on your mobile device and synced back to your Mac! To read up on how to sync you can check it out in the 1Password for Mac User Guide.
• Data backup Version 2.1 added the ability to download your data to your Desktop (Mac or PC), enabling you to backup all your important information and restore it if needed.
• Copy and Paste 1Password Pro adds the ability to Copy and Paste information. This enables you to copy passwords into other applications as well as copying Credit Card numbers into purchase web forms.
• Better Safari Integration 1Password Pro provides enhanced integration with Mobile Safari. Using a bookmark from within Safari, you can launch 1Password to quickly find your Login information, copy the password, and be automatically taken back to Safari so you can login.

If you're worried you've had too many drinks to get behind the wheel on New Year's Eve, fear not: There's an app for that.
Just reach for your iPhone, because several apps are now available to tell someone when they've reached their legal limit.
"R-U-Buzzed," a free application released Dec. 2 from the Colorado Department of Transportation, allows you to quickly determine your blood alcohol level. Simply spin the wheel to your weight, how many drinks you've had and the amount of time you've been drinking and the app will tell you if you're safe to drive.

I got an app called Mobile Air Mouse for my iPod Touch.

You can get it for iPhone too.

Its so awesome. It acts as a mouse for your laptop computer. Its on sale for $1.99 or $0.99 cant remember, but its normally like $8.

You guys shoudl get it.

http://www.mobileairmouse.com/

how does it connect to your computer? Blutooth or wifi

Wifi

Its pretty awesome if you ever hook your laptop up to your TV and you dont already have a wireless keyboard/ or mouse. It can act as both, but the typing isn't that great. It can also use the ipod's accelerometer to make it like a wand so wherever you point on the screen the mouse cursor moves there.

One of my favorite apps. works great

Well, if I ever hook up my laptop to my TV this will be great. Pretty slick for a techno nerd.

Now if they would just create a app to use the ipod as a remote for my PS3. They have something already but it only works with select BDs and not all. I want them to create an app that will actually make the ipod a BD remote with bluetooth.

Yeah I heard there is some kind of contest for this and it should work well considering the PS3 controller uses bluetooth.

Oh, wait... did you mean some sort of iPhone app? Um, never mind. :rolleyes:

A good list. I substitute Simplenote and Things in for Awesomenote and OmniFocus respectively. Simplenote I bought before seeing Awesomenote otherwise I might have chosen differently. Though simplenote is stellar because it is, obviously, simple.

I like Scorecenter I just wish they'd change the interface. The pop up per game UI is reeruned.

I don't really game much. I should though. Maybe I would if I like rode a subway to work or something.

Does PDA net work on phones that aren't jailbroken? I didn't think tethering worked on the iPhone/ATT?

Oops. Sorry. It won't work on an iPhone or iPod that's not jailbroken.

You can install a different carrier package on a normal iPhone that isn't jailbroken though. It will let you tether. AT&T actually was going to offer this legit, but never did. Just follow these instructions:

Microsoft is currently working on an iPhone App for Windows Live Messenger, as well as for Bing. According to the news portal Neowin, Microsoft acknowledges the current market share for the Apple phone and wants to spread Messenger over to its users.


The release of the Windows Live Messenger iPhone App is currently scheduled to take place alongside with Windows Live Wave 4—that is, spring 2010.

http://iphone.skinns.ca/

TV shows and movies you can watch on the iphone. Found this on macforums. Probably won't last long.

I am finally getting an iPhone tomorrow! I can't wait! :)

I will be hitting up this thread

IF you're using a 3G phone, there's an app called iVideoCamera. Allows you to finally take videos with your 3G phone.

FYI for my jailbroken friends....

The Installous iPhone app is back up and running again. No more Troll Bridge. It's now using Apptrackr instead of Appulous for .ipa sources. Makes it much faster.

Here's all the info: http://hackulo.us/forums/

You can also go directly to http://apptrackr.org/ and use that website for downloading .ipa files from your computer.

Add "The Infinity Project" (Doom-like game) and "Dark Nebula" (rolling marble-type game) for good timekillers.

For anyone wondering, Tweetie 2 is awesome. I picked it up for the Indie+Relief fundraiser and love it. When they say it's completely rewritten from the original Tweetie, they mean it. And for the better.

killer boots man!

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Trapped father survives with help of phone app

By Josh Levs, CNN


STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Dan Woolley, a Colorado aid worker, was trapped in Haiti hotel after earthquake
• Woolley used cell phone application to learn how to control bleeding, survive
• iPhone application, called "Pocket First Aid & CPR," is from Jive Media
• "That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly," Woolley says

(CNN) -- Alone in the darkness beneath layers of rubble, Dan Woolley felt blood streaming from his head and leg.
Then he remembered -- he had an app for that.
Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
"I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture," Woolley told CNN.
The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. "So I knew I wasn't making mistakes," Woolley said. "That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly."
Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it.
Concerned he might have been experiencing shock, Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.
Woolley's job keeps him tech savvy. He oversees interactive projects for the Christian child advocacy organization Compassion International in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

CNN iReport: Looking for loved ones in Haiti
With his injuries tended to, he wrote a note to his family in his journal: "I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don't be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I'm still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you."
The journal is stained with his blood.
After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble.
"Those guys are rescue heroes," he said of the crew that pulled him out.

Interactive map of where to find aid, hospitals in Haiti
His colleague David Hames has not been found. The two had been standing together when the earthquake struck and the Hotel Montana crumbled. They were making a film about poverty in Haiti and had just gotten back to the hotel, heading to the elevator in the lobby.
"Then all of a sudden just all craziness broke loose," Woolley said. "Convulsions of the ground around us, the walls started rippling and then falling on us. [Hames] yelled out, 'I think it's an earthquake!' I looked for someplace safe to jump to and there was no safe place."
When the shaking stopped, Woolley couldn't see. And his friend was not with him.
He turned on the focus light of a camera he was wearing around his neck, but he didn't have his glasses. "So I actually took some pictures and would look at the back of the lens of the camera and saw in one of those pictures the elevator that I ended up hobbling over to. And that became my safe place."
Once in the elevator, he used the app -- called "Pocket First Aid & CPR" from Jive Media -- to tend to his injuries. Woolley said his phone "was like a high-tech version of a Swiss Army knife that enabled me to treat my own injuries, track time, stay awake and stay alive."
Woolley heard voices of some other people trapped nearby, and they spoke with each other.
"About a day, maybe day and a half in, we heard rescuers, and they had a list of our names at that point, because they were able to talk to one of the people we were talking with. And so then it seemed like, OK, this is going to happen, we're actually going to get rescued.
"But then it just took a long time and there were times where I didn't hear anything or I'd hear drilling in a far part of the building and just didn't get any reassurance they were still coming for me," Woolley said.
"The scene outside was a lot more chaotic and less simple than I imagined in my head. ... But eventually they came for me and did an amazing rescue."
Back home now in Colorado Springs with his wife Christina and children Josh, 6, and Nathan, 3, Woolley said he's grateful to God for getting him through the ordeal.
"Happiness is a morning with ... family, filled with Legos, kissing boo-boos and normalcy."

That first aid app probably just went from free to 10 bucks. :)

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home...o-sidestep-att

$1 phone app that lets you call for free on your I-Phone?

Not really for free....

ahhhh the fine print.;)

Yeah... the bastards... they sure don't make it very obvious while bragging about it...

Alpine Crawler World FTW

Yes, This rocks! Def worth the $6.99

Thanks, Very nice.

Yelp, Sounds like it is like "around me". It's free and I use it a lot.

Iphone case and battery 12.99 on newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16855991098

Ultimate Guitar finally came out with a "Tabs" app. $1.99.

Damn, too bad that isn't designed for the ipod touch.

I'm waiting until the official release date of the verizon iphone before I switch...I hate AT&T but if verizon and apple can't make this happen I'll most likely switch...

I'm hoping for a GSM version that isn't locked to AT&T. Then I wouldn't have to switch at all.

Dragons Lair dropped to .99 cents today.

I know this has probably been asked but with the 4g's change anything about using app's?

What do you mean?

4G is going to change that story with bold new applications that are going to make people's use of their time much more efficient. Will the app's that everyone has been running on 3G now be basically obsolete?

:spock:

Still don't quite get what you're talking about but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Obsolete? No. All the previous apps will still function as they always did.

Now, all the new apps designed to work on 4G is something different.

Will 4G cure my gout, too? Seriously, do you work for Sprint marketing or something?

Bob Dole has been using evernote. http://www.evernote.com Pretty handy text recognition in photos if you're one of those people who ends up in meetings with lots of stuff written/drawn on the whiteboard. All your notes, snapshots and voice memos are uploaded to your web account and can be accessed, edited, augmented, searched and sync'd from anywhere you can get to the web.

If you're handy with typing on the phone, it's pretty awesome to sit in a conference call with people who think you're dicking around on your phone, but return to their office to discover they have an email containing the key info from the call sitting in their inbox.

I don't really know anything about iPhone memory and what not so I guess this is the perfect thread to ask this question....


Anyway, I'm buying an iPhone, how much would it matter if I bought a 8GB instead of a 16GB iphone?

No its only the storage that is different. Wait 3 weeks and you can get the new one.

Less space to put music and video, but plenty of room for apps. If you want to be able to carry your whole music collection and several movies around at all times, you probably need the 16GB, but if you don't mind swapping out the movies and music periodically or if you don't really care that much about that part, the 8GB is probably fine. You can get a lot of music on an 8GB iphone anyway. And for video, a good rule of thumb is that you can fit a two hour movie into about 1GB.

Definitely do this.

There's no point to getting a high capacity iPhone. There are plenty of apps that let you stream your videos and music from your home computer to your iPhone.

I know that, but I was wondering what the normal usage is. Does anyone really NEED a 16 GB? Anyone filled up 8GB of memory, and how fast did they fill it? Cause with my G1, I have a 8GB memory card in it and I still have ~4GB available on it.

Sure, I CAN fill it up. I filled up my 64gb iPad. But I didn't HAVE to.

:thumb: Thanks man. Yeah, I'll probably just end up switching out music and what not.

Which model are you getting? It will probably be hard to find an 8Gb since that is a 3G model. The 3GS comes in 16Gb and 32 Gb. Personally I'd wait a few weeks and get the new one. Not all of the features in the new 4.0 OS will work on the 3G version but should on the 3GS.

I think the 8Gb is too small. I tend to want all my music, apps, and videos at my disposable. I usually swap out my podcasts but if I don't get to listen to them they can build up and use up the storage too.

That's a good point. I forgot that 3GS was either 16 or 32. My advice is to buy the smaller capacity of the latest version (wait a month for 4G) unless you really want to carry an extensive media library around. When I bought mine, I picked the 16GB 3GS figuring that if I really want to carry a lot of music/movies around from time to time, I could use my old video iPod or use one of the apps that let's you stream from home.

On the other hand, if you're buying an iPhone, the one-time $100 charge to buy the higher capacity version is a relatively minor expense compared to the $720 you'll be paying for data service over the first 2 years of ownership (and another $360 per year every year after that). :shrug:

Agreed. I have the 3G and am waiting to see what is in store with the new one. I will either upgrade to the 4G or get the 16Gb 3GS for a pittance at WalMart. Most likely the former.

Those apps are great (I personally use Simplify Media), but you can only listen to the music from within the app. So, you can't listen to them while browsing in Safari, or while responding to a text message.

Of course, that will be resolved when the iPhone OS FINALLY supports multitasking (released on 6/7). At least, I hope it will.

Can you listen to your iPhone's iPod while browsing Safari or responding to texts? I never thought about it and since I usually use my old iPod instead of my iPhone when I'm listening to music, it hasn't come up.

Yup. As long as you're listening to music from the iPod app, you can listen to it while on the spring board or from within other apps. If you're listening to something like Simplify Media or Wunder Radio that streams over the 3G connection, the audio stops as soon as you exit that app.

Good to know. That's definitely a significant consideration.

I thought of an app recently and when searching did not see one similar...they need a mega diet app that gives three meals a day, what exercises you should do that day as well, and a place to add journal, weight loss, calories, etc. And it could even give you reminder texts and stuff....like if it's time for your snack.

You can fit your entire music collection in 16GB? Last time Bob Dole checked, his collection was over 250GB (approaching 60,000 songs).

No, as a matter of fact, I can't, but I was basing my comments on what I think is a more typical collection size. My music collection is slightly smaller than yours. Just over 50,000 songs taking up 240 GB.

I would seriously recommend getting the 3GS version compared to just the 3G version. The 3GS is much much faster in terms of overall performance. Opening/closing apps, loading screens, etc. It's very significant. 3GS has a better battery, twice the RAM, much better camera, better video chip, etc. Working on both side by side, you can really notice the difference.

That will change in a couple of weeks when iPhone OS 4.0 comes out. It'll support 3rd party multitasking, meaning it'll work (the developer will probably need to update the app first though).

Wunderradio can run in the background. You can listen and do whatever you want.

I have a 3gs now. My 3g broke. It was faster for the first few days but now i cant really find a difference between the 2 besides a video recorder.

Ah, I see now that you can click the "Run In Background" on a station then wait for it to open Safari and reload the stream. You can then use other apps, but you can't go to any other pages in Safari or you will lose the stream.

Not 100% what I wanted, but pretty close. Thanks for the info! :thumb:

Get the 3GS (which only comes as 16Gb minimum). I bought the 3G bought a year ago, it was cheap, didn't htink I needed 16 Gb, which I still think is true. However, the new OS will have f(x) I cannot use, as I hear including ability to minimize an app and use another.

Step 1: Jailbreak iPhone.
Step 2: Install Backgrounder.
Step 3: Enjoy all the multi-tasking you desire.

Nice article on Skype for the Iphone
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_gadg/ytech_gadg_tc2393

It still amazes me that you can't listen to your music within all apps. That is the only multi tasking I even need.

You can if you use the iPod application.

There are tons of apps that won't let you play your music at all. Drives me nuts.

Robot Unicorn Attack is out!

I don't like software remembering my key information. I'll just use my brain
