iPhone Explorer - A USB iPhone browser for Mac and PC
My friend @srndur pointed me to this app: much easier than using SSH and FTP to much around with a jailbroken phone. Free, too!

This excites me. I've become a fan of Lala lately. I love the opportunity to listen to entire albums for free before buying (30 seconds doesn't do it for me), and I've bought a number of Web albums for $1 and appreciated the opportunity to listen as much as I want before committing to buying the (high-quality, non-DRM) MP3 files. But streaming...that's a dream come true! I didn't dare to hope. Bet Apple kills it.
This app handily lets you add emergency info to your wallpaper. This is a good idea for everyone!
I love Powery Base's app Notify Me, and right now I note it's free. It uses push notifications to remind you about stuff. I use it like crazy. I use Toodledo with Pocket Informant, but I use Notify Me to nag me (walk the dog! Walk the dog!) because you can snooze the alarms. It's not full featured enough for a real to-do system, but I love it as a supplement.
Posteorus is "dead simple" in that it uses e-mail, but if you post a lot from a phone, it gets to be a pain to type in ((tag: blah, blah, blah)) and so on. I'm not sure how this got past me before, but there are two apps that simplify e-mailing to ANY frequently used address (I'm mostly using the setup for Posterous): TextExpander and Go Mail Yourself. I set up the snippets I use the most [eg, "Daily iPhone photo: (/): ((tag: iphone365, photos))]" in TextExpander and put my Posterous e-mail addresses into Go Mail Yourself. To post pics I can then fire up Go Mail Yourself, attach the photo, type my trigger characters, and blam, my post is done. It saves a surprising amount of time. Why, thought I, should I not just copy out of TextExpander into Mail? Because, thought I, after trying it, I want shortcuts in the subject AND body, which would necessitate going back and forth too much. I suppose the setup is not dead simple, but it's dead handy. iPhone users who are Posterous fans should be trying out this combo and spreading the news.
I've been looking high and low for a way to easily change my location like this without using the exact and uninformative coordinates. Yay yay yay! Buh-bye $3.
I like having one device for all my stuff, as opposed to the old days when I lugged around a flip phone, Palm, and iPod, but the locking iPhone screen creates issues when I'm using it as an iPod. Notably, it's a big pain in the ass to move around in a song list, and if you want to see what track is playing it comes up in a tiny display unless you bring the whole iTunes app to the front. None of which anyone should be doing while driving, which is what I'm often doing when I'm listening to music.
Lose It! is a free (yes, free) calorie-counting app that I like much better than the one I used before (Absolute Fitness; $15). Its database includes more foods that I eat (lots of strange vegetarian foods, which generally are lacking in these programs), and everything is simple and intuitive. Its best point is that I actually use it because it's so easy. I've tried several of these apps over the years on various platforms, and I gave up because it got too complicated. I've been using this one for a whole 2 weeks and haven't even felt like giving up. It lets you track exercise and activity as well (how many calories does 10 minutes of moderate sexual activity burn? Lose It! knows...).
There are lots of ways to pass the time when you’re squeezing one off in the bathroom… read a magazine, call your mom, pluck your treasure trail… but none of these activities will teach you a damn thing about your poo!
WTF is right. I was actually mildly intrigued until I saw the $1.99 price tag.
I love Dropbox. I have the Pro plan so everything (including my iPhoto library) is backed up and in sync everywhere I go. The Web interface through the iPhone is totally usable, so this app will just be gravy. Looks like a glove-dropping to SugarSync! I'll be downloading this baby when it gets approved. So, like, by January, you think?
