Type testing on a few devices

Ever wonder how long it would take to type the exact same message on a Macbook, iPhone, a Newton, a Treo, or even actually writing it down on a pen and paper? Wouldn’t it be neat if someone did just that and then shared the results? Phil Gyford did too. Phil compared writing the same 221-word [...]

I want a big iPhone too

The speculation about the upcoming product from Apple, presumably some form of tablet computer, is all over the place. The more I read the more I want. The more I want the more I wish. The more I wish the more I desire a big iPhone. I’ve thought about it a lot over the last several [...]

Facebook URL Helper

The Facebook iPhone application now has an address book syncing feature that will pull in all of your friend’s profile pictures and also set up their Web site URLs as fb://somethingsomething. Chris Clark, in his infinite genius, put together a helper for your Macintosh that will redirect fb:// URLs to their proper http:// equivalent.

The L5 Remote

Speaking of cool remote controls – the L5 Remote is a combination iPhone/iPod touch application + accessory to turn said iPhone or iPod touch into a remote control for your television, DVR, Blu-ray player, and just about anything else accepting IR input. Yes, please. But I’ll need a discount on two (one for my iPhone and [...]

Waterproofing your iPhone

As reported by Danilo Campos on Twitter “Any ziplock bag you happen to find in your kitchen will waterproof your phone while allowing the screen to respond.” So I gave it a whirl and it works! Neven Mrgan, who I heard this through, brought up a few great uses for this. He said “This means I [...]

Pie Guy, a free web game for iPhone

Pie Guy is a fun game for your iPhone that is free, is installed via the Web (it is a fancy Web page), works offline, and is actually a lot of fun (works sorta like Pac-Man). Neven Mrgan, the developer of Pie Guy, built the game – not only so people can enjoy the game – [...]

A new theme for iPhone, more mobile devices to follow

Last weekend I rolled out an updated theme for this site when your browsing it with an iPhone. The main reason for this is my mobile photos. When I post a mobile photo my site automatically Twitter’s a link to it, like this, and a lot of people flood in to view the photos and [...]

Dude at NASA makes a Tricorder with an iPhone

NASA scientist Jing Li (and others) has created a tricorder, ala Star Trek, using an iPhone and a few little gadget bits that is able to ’sense’ gases in the air. My advice: get this tricorder things to the point where it can repair broken bones and inject medicine into a human’s neck, then move [...]

To help out, here is a link to their new game for the iPhone – [...]

Why I bought Tweetie 2 for iPhone

I don’t buy a lot of iPhone applications. My reasons are that I don’t have a lot of extra money for such things and that many times I end up getting rid of an application a few weeks after installing it. In other words; why buy applications that I will not end up using long term? However, [...]

Giving Instapaper a whirl

Instapaper, a read-later service by Tumblr’s Marco Arment, has been popping up in front of me for months. I’ve seen two of my friends, Justin and Jonathan, rave about it. So I thought it was time I gave it a spin. This morning I’ve installed the bookmarklet from the site, installed the free version of the [...]

The official Flickr iPhone application. Stick with the mobile site.

Flickr recently released an official application for the iPhone (link opens iTunes). I agree with John Gruber, the design of the application is well done in many areas but it doesn’t feel very “Flickr-like” and isn’t as good as Flickr’s mobile site for the iPhone. My biggest gripe, besides the application crashing every few minutes, [...]

viewport=550, or, the new mobile photos pages if you’re using an iPhone or iPod touch

As of a few hours ago, if you’re viewing any of the mobile photos (such as this one that I just put up) on an iPhone or iPod touch, the viewing area should automatically ‘zoom’ into the proper area. You may send payments via Paypal.

Facebook for iPhone 3.0 coming soon

When the Web-based version of the Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. When the first version of the native Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. Even though I think it is a bit overdue, when the next version of the Facebook iPhone application ships, it will more than likely be great too.

What you get and don’t get with the iPhone OS 3.0 update if you have an original iPhone

Eliza and I have original iPhones. Day one iPhones. They are just shy of 2 years old. They’re still gorgeous, still work well, and we couldn’t be happier with them. Today Apple released the third version of their iPhone OS aptly named iPhone OS 3.0. This release boasts several improvements and new features – however, not [...]

Problems with Twitterrific 2 caused by the Twitpocalypse

Last night while at a bar with a friend I started getting weird errors in Twitterrific 2. I was taking down notes, saving screenshots, all because I wanted to provide a good bug report to The Iconfactory when I had the chance. This morning I quickly checked their site and read this: “We apologize for problems [...]
