How to connect (sync) the iPhone to MS OneNote using MobileNoter I’ve been waiting for this!! Yes, as a hard core Microsoft OneNote user (remember, I’m all about tablets) I have been wishing there was a way to view my OneNote files on the iphone.

The new facebook is here! The new facebook is here! .. for the iphone What? You never hear of Steve Martin’s ‘The Jerk? Never mind. So the new iphone facebook app is out.

Android comes back with another cool traffic AR app I just wrote about the first iphone AR app to show up, and now here is ANOTHER Android AR app. This gives you traffic cams for Toronto. Not sure if there is one for San Francisco, but I’ll look into it. Im not sure how useful this app is, but its clear we are about… Read More
Get your iPhone Augmented reality app. In France. Yup, the French have beaten us again. First it was first with Pomme Frites (French Fries), now with AR. The apple store can be so random at times. Well, since I’m in the SF Bay Area, I cannot test this out myself, but it looks cool. According to Marshall Kirkpatrick (ReadWriteWeb) French app development shop… Read More
Bicycle fitting computer for the iPhone This is kinda neat. I did not try ‘TestRides‘ (by Wildlab) myself, but I like the idea. Basically, you take a picture of yourself, select key body points to provide an overall measurement set, and then calculate and display the best bike size for your body. Sweet! For people who do not do a lot… Read More
Qik video now in the Apple store, but still no live streaming So now we can get Qik from the Apple store, BUT no live streaming. Piff.. However, Qik does have two cool features; it will upload the video automatically when you have stopped filming, and it will Geo tag that video. Nice eh? So its not live steaming, but if you are shooting is short bursts,… Read More
Into Scrabble? Got iPhone? Well check this app. I like Scrabble even though I’m not very good at it. However, I have a few friends that are just NUTS for the game. So when this press release came in my email today I thought I would share it out. 🙂 Oh, and wonder why they cannot call it ‘Scrabble” Trademarked my friend!… Read More
UStream does not stream, but you can remote edit and thus near realtime! UStream release a new iphone app today that has the word ‘live’ in it, but its not live. I mean, yea when you shot it it was live.. but anyway.. So far Qik (using jailbreak) is the preferred way to do live broadcasting, but UStream does have an interesting offering. Well, 2 actually, you can… Read More
What’s the best iphone app for twitter? Depends on how you use it I wrote an article for iphoneLife looking at a sampling of twitter applications for the iphone. The idea of the article was not to exhaustively compare and rate them because that is a losing battle. Everyone uses twitter differently and as such, what is a great app for some people, is overkill for others. So… Read More
Still want Google Voice? Get it for free via Cydia (jailbreak) They said yesterday that they would put it on Cydia and last night, ‘poof’ it appeared. I downloaded the app and it seems to work fine so far. So go get it already! Do not know what I’m talking about? Well Google Voice was submitted to the Apple Store, which was personally approved last April… Read More
Alternative to iTunes is here!! Oh wait.. Spotify is only in Europe As I’ve said before, I do not like iTunes, so I have been waiting for a good replacement. I REALLY hate that I cannot make changes to my playlist unless I’m connect to the ONE machine that has my playlist. Bollocks! There have been many I’ve played with, but I knew about Spotify (a Swedish… Read More
New map options on the iphone? Part of Latitude? It might be. I just noticed today that when I go to maps I get a pop up for my location that allows me to share it out via email. I’m sure this is part of 3.0 and why I have noticed it till now I have no idea. If it IS new, then I’m… Read More
Having lockup problems with intelliscreen and push notifications? Me too It seems intelliscreen can lockup if you get a push calendar notification as from exchange if you have unread email. The problem is when you get an alert, intelliscreen will ‘flip up’ so show the alert and a button to dismiss it. However, if you have unread email, you cannot access the slide bar to… Read More

Read this post in TC: Foursquare Shows The Business Potential Of Location-Based Services The idea is if you go to a place and check in with foursquare enough, you will be rewareded with free food, drinks, services, whatever.. What I like is this idea of tracking and rewarding users that help drive… Read More
Ultra customize (pimp) your iphone with Supreme Preferences I’m not a big ‘pimping’ kind of guy when it comes to my iphone. In fact, I tend to keep as many thing off it as I can in order to increase speed (I’m the same with my desktop/laptops). However, when I saw ‘Supreme Preferences’ in Cydia last night, I thought I would give it… Read More
Jailbreaking the iphone 3gs – purplera1n This did not take long did it? But the funny thing is that it did not come from the Dev-team, but instead instead from George Hotz. Now this is windows only (sorry mac people) but I’m sure it will be ported soon enough. Now remember this is 3.0, so if you are running the 3.1… Read More

Notes from WWDC2009.. HTML5 and Video I’m not going to go over everything, you can find that anywhere.. I’m instead going to look at a few things that I think are really interesting… HTML5 support! Why is this so important? HTML5 is like having flash lite without the plug-in! (I still wish I had flash though). But take a look at… Read More
