Must Have Apps for the iPhone
Still need to get a quick and useful present for your iPhone or iTouch someone on your shopping list? Well consider the two following applications as a possible answer.
Grocery Gadget is an application that does shopping lists - but also sooooo much more. It lets you build shopping lists on your iPhone or via a web site - a neat feature. Go to the site, create a Group name, set up a password and give it an email address and you are on your way to a new level of shopping list management. You, and anyone that you care to give the site credentials to can access your shopping list, or other lists, and can add items. I built three lists - one fpr the library, one for Costco, and one for the weekly food shopping. Now I or my wife can use a web browser to add items to the list. Go to the site, see the video for yourself, and see if you don't agree that this is one neat little application.
First iPhone WORM releasedWritten by IT Doc | | |
Well folks, we iPhone users are now part of the mainstream computing crowd - we are vulnerable to viruses and Worms, just like everyone else. PCWorld has a story about an Australian programmer who has written a WORM for iPhones. Not to worry though - if you have not jailbroken your phone and only download software from iTunes, you should be safe. I do recommend that you read the article to fully understand the risks of computing.

Free Software - nanoBundleWritten by IT Doc | | |
You read right - free - the all American dream - software - where you ask? www.macheist.com has scored again this time with a min-bundle, or as they say - a nanoBundle. This bundle has 5 immediate and one later piece of software available for the asking - the last piece of software is Mariner Write - which will be made available if 500,000 people download the free bundle before the deadline is reached - three days from now - so if you have any interest, zip right over to MacHeist and get your free nanoBundle - what is that? What are the other pieces of free software? ShoveBox, WriteRoom, Twitterrific, TinyGrab, and Hordes of Orcs. My favorite is ShoveBox - I'm sure that each of you will have your own - however there is a lot of good software ideas here, and the best part is that all of it is free. Enjoy
