    New iPhone, Who Dis?

    It’s been a long time since I logged in to write a new blog post… Some things have changed, some things remain the same. It’s unchanged that when I get frustrated, I ragequit or stop doing something to make the frustration go away. So when WordPress for example, has big changes, I don’t want to even start my desktop, laptop, iPad, or iPhone to start a post. If it’s frustrating, I tweet, because gratification must not be delayed. I got a new iPhone recently… this is frustrating because Apple and I have a history. A history where I have an…

    WordPress for iPhone: Where Did It Go

    I started a post with the new version of WP for iPhone yesterday with an image, but it didnt publish. Theres a known bug with images, and the post was shown with a little locked icon before it disappeared. Guess well wait on the bugfix before uploading images directly from the phone, rather than via Flickr.

    AjaxLife: Second Life for iPhone Good Enough For Me

    I recently took another look for a Second Life IM client. There’s supposed to be something called SLim that’s official, but I bypassed it for something called AjaxLife, which I’d previously tried back when it was a light Web interface that just barely ran on my iPhone.  It runs well on a normal computer, though. Now there’s a much better iPhone interface, which allows the user to log in, IM friends, and chat locally at whatever your default login location is. You can’t move your AV, so you should be sure you’re somewhere safe and not in the way. But…

    Jack Myers – JackMyersMediaBusinessReport.com – U.S. Will Never Become a Mobile-Centric Culture, Argues Third Screen Media Founder Tom Burgess In an exclusive interview with JackMyers Media Business Report, Burgess argues that although Apple’s iPhone has dramatically changed the American mobile market, it is unlikely the U.S. will ever become a truly mobile-centric culture. Darn, I guess the group I created on Facebook the other night will never get off the ground: I called it “My iPhone Has Been Permanently Grafted To My Body.”

    Review: Tube Status

    Next up, a free application shows the status of the London tube lines in a slightly different way… clean, simple, but there’s not a lot to it: Pretty straightforward – when you click the blue i for more information, you get: And that’s it – no maps, no routefinder, but more updates are promised in future versions – iTunes still shows version 1.0

    Review: Tewks London Tube iPhone App

    This little app won’t be that useful on our upcoming trip to Britain, but we should be able to access it via hotel wifi. It’s called “Tewks London Tube.” The first screenshot shows our closest station as the crow flies. A Londoner might find this feature useful, especially when deciding between several nearby stations. For us, it’s just a little frustrating, as it’s several thousand miles away at the moment. The next screenshot is a close-up of the London Bus map, which shows plenty of detail as to routes and gives an idea of where to catch one of the…
