Improve your Drag-and-Drop Workflow
I also wonder whether you could hold this whole thing wrong or not. Does it have worse reception if you lay your legs on it? Can you put another iPhone on it? That would be meta.
The only truth is you can’t buy this. But you can make it. Just ask Jony for the glass.
People just can’t stop stuffing the iPhone 4 inside SLR cameras, can they? I don’t know if these hacks actually work or are mere geek material for posts, still I can’t help but think that they’re incredibly cool.
And the latest one we’re covering here could be the best we’ve ever found: someone really did create an iPhone 4 case out of a SLR Canon. They took out its internal parts, they re-assembled everything and stuffed the iPhone 4 inside. Could an iOS-like interface be the future of SLR cameras? I don’t know, but man - it’s great.

Justin Williams over at Second Gear has been releasing some amazing apps and updates recently: Elements for iPhone and iPad, a Dropbox-based note taking application; Today 2.5, a long awaited update to the popular calendar application for OS X which now allows users to select a default calendar for event and task creation.
Trust me, I’ve seen many iPhone cases and I’ve tried many of them. But this one, this one’s special: it’s a party in your pocket! It’s the ultimate hip case for your iPhone 3G and 3GS (it will available for the iPhone 4 soon), it’s an iBottleopener.
I really don’t know what else to write here. Please, just a take a look at the video below and laugh with me. Thanks TUAW for finding out about this.
Oh, my problem with financial apps. I can’t find one to stick with, I can’t find one that enables me to achieve a decent workflow when it comes to adding transactions and managing my finances. I don’t settle. Maybe it’s beacuse I have a quite complicated setup (you know, managing multiple currencies online isn’t exactly an easy task), partially because no developer until now released the perfect iOS financial application. I mean that. MoneyBook is still the best of all the ones I’ve reviewed so far, and the developers are working hard on improving it and adding more features - especially to the web interface. I guess it’ll need a second look soon.
Anyway, today we’re here to talk about MoneyWell for iPhone. When it was released a few weeks ago it looked promising and I bought it. Oh, in case you missed my previous “finance on iOS” coverage: I don’t care about sync with Mac versions and desktop backups. I want a full-featured app for iOS. One that lets me take a quick look at my expenses, or my whole account when I need to. An app that’s flexible, good-looking, fast and easy to use.
MoneyWell gets dangerously close to that.
Easy, nerds. I know that there are hundreds of apps that let you turn the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch into a portable hard drive - that’s why I never featured them. There are just too many of them out in the App Store.
So what about Simple Drive? It’s simple, it’s got a nice UI and doesn’t overwhelm you with tons of extra features you don’t even need. Unlike all those other apps, it’s elegant.
That’s why I downloaded it and I have so far enjoyed using it.
Back in July, when Steve Jobs announced the free-for-all iPhone Case Program, he said that the expiration date was set to September 30th. Apple needed more time to think about the iPhone 4 antenna issues and a possible new solution.
Now, according to Mexican website CanalMX, Telcel’s (carrier) Director of Value Added Services Marco Quatorze stated that Apple is about to released a revised iPhone 4 by the end of September.
I have Terminology for iPad sitting on my homescreen, and it’s been there for weeks now. Like Cody wrote in his review of the iPad version, Terminology is an app for the English language - one that makes it easy to lookup for words and get instant and accurate definitions. Now, there’s an iPhone version, too.
I haven’t had any problems with the iPhone 4 battery so far (I managed to make it last 38 hours once), but in case you were wondering if there was a way to use solar power to get more battery life - well, here it is.
The Frostfire Mooncharge Hybrid Solar Battery Case For iPhone 4 gives your device 5 extra minutes of calling or 50 minutes of stand-by mode with 20 minutes of direct sunlight, but if you charge the battery inside the case via USB you get 5 additional hours of calling. So, not really powerful when it comes to solar charging - not unless you leave the phone in direct sunlight for a couple of hours.
