Suck it, SalesForce.com

You think you’re SOOOOOOOOO big, what with your free iPhone app and your reasonable rates with excellent reliability and cnstant innovation in your infrastructure. You aren’t jack compared to Microsoft CMS, and you CERTAINLY aren’t so good that you can’t charge $449 for a crappy looking iPhone app to sync (maybe) with your databases.

How the App Store updates, plus, Scrabble!

In a related vein, IGN indicated that the makers of Scrabble were about to release a patch to make it multi-player , but the article blurb indicated that it ‘may or may not be a free upgrade’. A note to iPhone devs: if you release a patch three days after your app is released, it damned well better be a free upgrade.

Maximize your iPhone 3g battery life

While you’re not checking data for more than a few seconds at a time, I’d turn off Wi-Fi and in general, I’d turn off Wi-Fi scanning. … (I’d like to think this is a more useful tip than “don’t use your iPhone” but maybe it’s not something you can avoid if you’re a gaming addict.)

Apple: Worst Week Ever

As someone who stood at an Apple store from 6:30a to 12:30p, only to walk out with both an old and a new iPhone - neither of which were working, I’m sorely disappointed. My new phone finally sent me a ‘welcome’ text message at 2:45p - but still can’t connect to iTunes to activate (or synch for that matter).

Where

An awesome app for the iPhone, Where , shows you tons of stuff near you. I am quite fond of these two, personally: Starbucks and Gas Buddy. IMG_0010.PNG IMG_0011.PNG IMG_0012.PNG IMG_0013.PNG

Find free apps on the new iTunes App Store

Remember: you have t have the 2.0 firmware installed to use these apps - that is expected to ‘officially’ come out this morning, but is available via stealth mode if you just can’t wait.
