AIM and beejive with push notifications are now out there

(ON IPHONE)

what does it mean in practice? that you can set yr status as being online all the time?

even if the program is not running u will get messages

beejive would tempt me if it werent so pricey

also if it wasnt called beejive

MELODICA

been using Nimbuzz but the name irritates me as well (and is therefore hidden on page four of my homescreen)

kevin_nealon Just cooked lunch on my new iPhone's hot plate application! Sweet!about 13 hours ago from Tweetie

7.99 for beejive?!?

s: edge, eliss, must eat birds, peggle, let's golf

is there any use for iphone spotlight at all?

I just don't get it yet

0 use.

Spotlight is good for quickly getting to a specific song, but haven't found much else for it so far.

Loving the mail inbox search, though.

it helped me find a misfiled contact!

booty call?

lol a friend of mine was going to write a anonymous booty call app but couldn't quite figure out how to market it so that it wouldn't be immediately obvious

misfiled booty

beejive is excellent if you like to IM

not working as well as i'd hoped. some bugs.

i don't understand why blackberrys and robot phones have no problems whatsoever keeping persistent IM connections but iphone really struggles with this.

so when it says "push to email" thats just like old copy right--it actually pushes to the application right?

push to email was an old feature. you'd set it to push IMs to your mobileme account so you'd get notifications right away.

Live and entertainingly noisy synthesiser, responding to multitouch and accelerometer control. You can control up to three independent voices at once. The sound synthesis method is GENeral DYNamic stochastic synthesis, as pioneered by Iannis Xenakis.

how in the fuck do i get the iphone to push its calendar events to google calendar. i've got gCal to push *its* calendars to the phone, but not vice-versa. wtf?

There's a few bits you need to do: you need to create it as an Exchange account on the phone and you need to go to m.google.com/sync from Safari on the phone and choose the phone as well.

thanks for the advice, but i'm still in the same boat (except now my gcal events show up in triplicate on my phone). still no pushing ical events to my gcal...

oh hang on, are you trying to get iCal calendar events to send to gcal? You can't really do that. You can add yr google calendar to iCal, but iCal calendars stay separate.

I just discovered that there's a Delicious Library app that lets you sync your mac library to your iPhone/iTouch.

have never understood the appeal of delicious library. If I want to know what I have, I look at the actual shelves. And it's not like I'm running a lending library, here.

Lol I have an iPhone ON IPHONE

thanks stet, i've been realizing this for months now. google keeps insisting it's a two-way sync, though! BS as far as I can tell...

specifically, google sync says that you can 'make changes on your mobile device and they will get pushed to google calendar and show up the next time you log in' which is bullshit.

you can make changes to google calendars that appear on the calendar app and they'll show up, but not for iCal calendars that are on the device, if the makes sense.

It's actually a tremendous help for me since > 50% of my books, CDs, etc. are in storage. When I need to reference something I can find it by which box it's in.

Is there a good app for watching or streaming AVI files on/to my iphone? Basically, to avoid having to convert them. I've heard OrbLive can do this... any good?

Simplify Media is now on version 2.0, and cheekily they've released it as a separate app, so if you were in on the original early enough to get it for free, you still need to fork out for an upgraded (ie working) version. On the plus side, it does work perfectly now, even with huge media collections

For reasons too tedious to go into, I reinstalled it today -- this being the original/free/slightly knackered version. As long as you're patient and set up the host machine to look at folders rather than the iTunes library file, it works like a bastarding charm. I'm actually really impressed (and not upgrading to the new one: ha).

haha totally agree. i guess cataloguing your shit is a way to spend your time tho. and for ppl like elvis i guess it is pretty useful.

Love this thing btw

Thought someone might want to see this sneaky tethering workaround:

loving the price erosion on games tht's led to a new 0.59p standard

^^^the perfect price for an iphone app imo, anything else is too much

Actually cataloging took no time at all... The barcode lookup feature makes cataloging a box of books go by very fast.

About time:http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/07/push-gmail-comes-to-the-iphone-%E2%80%94-through-an-app-if-its-accepted/

But, come on, I need to pay for this?!

it's .99 cents.

why does anyone really need it

it's nice to be alerted when you get an email instead of parsing the email application or waiting for it to check every 15 minutes?
