Wordpress app for the iPhone

I am posting from the Wordpress app for the iPhone! Very easy setup, very easy to use, and free. I have used some of the admin plugins but they never worked well. This app allows me to comfortably type and offers a very simple method for me to save drafts in progress - local draft [...]

Belkin TuneCast

One of the very few annoyances I have about my über-reliant, safe and sporty car is the lack of AUX in for my iPods and iPhone. I am relegated to using FM transmitters which can be touch-and-go in the radio-saturated DC/NoVA/MD metro area. I used the Kensington Digital FM transmitter which mostly positive results. This [...]

iPhone: Still missing

My speculation is that Apple will have an iPhone-specific press event to coincide with the official release of the SDK. I hope that they make some more changes:

Cut and paste - seriously, still not added?
Support for the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. Come on - the device has a huge screen to display workout info [...]

SDK for iPhone

Apple’s Hot News page has a post from Steve Jobs regarding the release of a SDK for the iPhone and iPod Touch come February:

Delicious LIbrary Two: iPhone eye candy

The iPhone delivers the “real Web” to your mobile phone. Sure - but a well-written site designed perfectly for the screen size will always look and feel superior. Take a look at the Delicious Library Two sneak peak site on your iPhone to see a truly well-designed web export feature.

iPhone Web apps - notes, tasks, and lists

A lot of these have been covered in other blogs and magazine articles. Here’s my take on a few.

http://www.tadalist.com/: One of the biggest missing items from the iPhone is a task list. I use OmniGroup’s OmniFocus interface quite a bit, but I don’t like leaving my power-hungry G5 on all the time at home just [...]

Portable script-kiddy hack tool

One of my guys pointed me at this news on Metasploit entitled A root shell in my pocket (and maybe yours) (hdm). Interesting notes - I knew about most of them, but was not aware that mDNSResponder (Bonjour) service runs by default. That makes me wonder if Apple intends to at some point offer increased [...]

Video on the iPhone

An interesting thought - why rip movies and put them on the iPhone, eating up valuable storage, when I can put them on a Web server and stream them? I took a game trailer (Ninja Gaiden 2, coming to XBOX 360) and converted to MPEG4 and 3GP. The original 960×540 weighed in at 24.3MB; the [...]

Apple to iPhone early adopters: Here’s $100

Steve Jobs has posted open letter to iPhone early adopters. In quick summary:
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale.
…There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before [...]

Burning the midnight oil (iTunes 7.4)

With 30 minutes to spare to get it in “today”, Apple has released iTunes 7.4.
It is not functional yet but there is a pane now in iTunes for ringtones:
