Here's my busted iPhone 2.2 app list so far:

ShopShop - can't add new items...bummer. Guess I gotta go pay for Grocery IQ now.
FlyCast - playback stops when the iPhone locks itself...oops.

Facebook, LinkedIn, and fring seem to all be working.

That is all.




So after getting the iPhone 3G, I promptly installed fring on it seeing as how I could make skype out calls and skype to skype calls on the iPhone! Yes, I know..it sounds magical and wonderous, but my experience has been less than stellar. fring itself seems like a neat little app, but my skype out calls never worked. Until I found this:

As I wrote elsewhere, in addition to adding " " before the REQUIRED country code, if your logged into ur Skype account via your computer and you try to Skype via ur iPhone, the call will terminate as well.

Yup that's right. This is absolutely a hidden "feature" of fring. Now, granted skype does add the little "+" sign for you, but seriously, fring should have anticipated this pain point and at least thrown up a dialog box that says, "Hey Skype Out-ster, you may want to add a "+" by HOLDING DOWN THE 0 on the dialer before the country code (and yes, you need that country code)."

After you figure this out, fring actually gets a bit more useful and interesting.

Have you seen the new iPod Nano (aka the "iPod Fatty") commercial? No? Here it is in case you wanted to see it:

By the way, the song is 1234 by Feist. You can get it on Amazon by clicking the album cover.

I have this song on my Sansa Connect (via a Yahoo Music Subscription) and I LOVE it! In case you're wondering, the Sansa Connect is only $124 on Amazon now. In case you're wondering, here's what it looks like:

If you're still interested in the iPod Fatty, Amazon's got those too:




Well now that Macs are gaining in popularity (and will soon take over the consumer space, sorry Dell), it is befitting to actually test your websites on Mac based browsers. How to do this if you don't have a Mac? BrowsrCamp.

That's right...this free (and paid) service allows you to take snapshots of pages on Safari for free. You'll need to pay a few bucks a month if you want to view other browsers on Mac OS or if you want to test out Ajax-y, flash-ish type of interactions.

Hello iPhone

Well, well, well....look who finally decided to show up to the party? What me mad? No, of course not...how could I be mad at a shiny new sliver of technology like you? Oh what's the problem you say? Well, for starters, what's up with lack of UMTS? I mean seriously...EDGE? Are you nuts? Have you surfed 2.5G speeds (think your twangy old modem--yeah I know, please don't make me go back...PLEASE!). I was going to ask you, "what about tethering to my laptop for data connections?" but forget it...you've already lost me.



What else is missing? Well an EVDO version of course. Cingular, the exclusive partner? Geez...that's gonna suck. So let me get this straight...you're gonna make me pay $600 (for the 8GB model) to lock me into a 2 year contract with no 3G radio built in? What's that you say? You'll probably add 3G speeds at Macworld 2008 anyway and those early adopters are gonna get screwed with their year and half to go on their contract? Man, that's gonna suck for your biggest fans huh?



I mean you are a sexy little thing, but forget it...I'm waiting on the 2G Apple - iPhone. Remember, come back with 2MB/s broadband and tethering support for Windows and Macs alike or don't come back at all. Oh and if you're not here by Jan 2008, I'm getting my EVDO Rev A Windows Mobile 6 phone....I can't believe I even waited for you.



And for those that get suckered into a 2 year agreement with a phone that costs $600 for EDGE speeds, I have some swamp land to sell you....I'll throw in some pills that will make you loose 30 lbs. in 30 days without any change in diet.



Random chatter about the iPhone:

Early speculation

Engadget tells it like it is

Gizmodo touches the damned thing and lives to tell about it!




MacBook arrives

Ooooo...Aaaaaaahh...Oooooohhh. That's right ladies and gents. We've gone ahead and upgraded the Mac side of our technological fence. Along with the MacBook are 2 1GB sticks of ram, a 4GB ipod nano (almost free after rebate) and the Canon PIXMA iP5200 (again, almost free after rebate). Tonight, we will rejoice as the aura of brand spanking new gadgetry fills our little home.
