iPhone apps S/D

Palringo is a good multiplatform aim client.
AirMe is garbage and Shozu is way better and supports tons more sites (facebook etc)

is shozu good?

everyone seems mad at their EULA.

Link to discus?

it was just in the reviews on the store itself.

thx for the palringo tip!

Palringo is definitely nice. Single-app clients are just completely pointless and anachronistic and rubbish now.

ya... esp as you can't run them in the bg. even chat apps are pretty limited in their usefulness... txting is still way better.

anyone else find nytimes is still redonkulously slow? it just loads and loads and loads and loads.

Does palringo send yr account data via its own servers? suspicious about having to make an account w/them.

Have given up on NYTimes. That syncing is awful bullshit. It's trying to pull all the pictures as well, which r dum

Eh, I worry more about using aim & non-ssl websites on open wifi networks

New NetNewsWire update FINALLY available

and it's lovely.

Anyone know how I can find out if my parents buy an iphone in Japan, if that'll work in Belgium? Yes, I'm a complete moron/noob, but I still want a (cheap) iphone. :-(

and it's lovely.
hmm. *Still* no way to mark as unread, and now can't re-read an article -- as soon as it's read, it vanishes.

also it's very stuttery and crashy and can you even collapse folders yet?

just saying.

anyone found a good site for app announcements/reviews yet?

I think you're posting on it.

Man, does Remote kick ass or what? Between that and the VNC client, I actually have a useable way to run a media center from my iPhone.

anyone else getting the eeeeeeendless backup whenever you sync?

Yeah. You can disable it if you don't want your stuff backed up.

i'm getting rid of some unused apps and seeing if it has an effect.

damn it always seems to stall out at the 3/4 mark. wtf

Man it's a hoot making this work on Ubuntu.

Making what work on Ubuntu? Yer iphone?

iPod touch to be exact. Spent the last couple nights working on it, a real comedy of errors. "Oh ok, fixed that. What's this? OK got it. What?" Every step met roadblocks for some reason. Finally it turned out the FirewireGUID was wrong for some reason; I fixed that and everything started syncing perfectly.

Still no album art though.

i saw a guy with an ubuntu license plate yesterday

man you Linux newbies are a hoot

Ok, who will be first to break their iPhone?

Any good push to talk apps?

1Password for iPhone is out!

... and it sucks!

yea, what's the point if it doesn't safari sync

nyt app seems much faster on its new update

any other exciting new apps?

I'm still having a blast with 2 Across. Best five bucks I ever spent for the iPhone

I finally got a 3G compatible car charger, and now I can run my phone's headphone jack into the AUX port on my stereo. Pandora in the car = bliss.

what's 2 across?

Is there a 3G-compatible car charger with Apple Bluetooth headset charger built-in yet?

anyone tried netshare?

2 Across is a really good crossword puzzle app where you can download puzzles past and present from the WSJ, the NYT (with subscription), the Onion, thinks.com and several other places.

The one thing not explained properly is how to enter a word. If you tap twice really fast, that brings out the typewriter. You can also also customize what is revealed, checked, and what isn't at your own leisure. There. Have fun.

Just downloaded netshare - will try tonight.

seems a bit pricey

Every sudoku game reviewed

Well, short answer is it works (NetShare). A bit of a pain to set up, and not something that I would use all the time (especially since the connection dies whenever the phone goes to sleep), but good in a pinch, and FAST on 3G.

and FAST on 3G

Really? How fast? Where are you located?

NetShare's off the store here again.

Have bought that Google Reader app; is much better than NNW, and also has a stab at doing the Instapaper thing via Google notebook. Nice.

I'm in San Francisco. Not sure exactly how fast, but it felt way faster than when I tethered to my old SE EDGE phone over USB. Almost like DSL.

The frickin' store gateway is annoying. Apps that I buy can disappear? Lame.

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

(sequel to OY?)

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

It was terrible when I played it on Sega CD.

ugh someone let me know if netshare ever comes back. totally slept on it :(

What I don't understand is what happens if I sync my apps now? Does it go away?
