Sometimes you lend those 5 bucks to that good friend of yours and you never get them back. But he’s a good friend, right? “I promise, I’ll give your money back as soon as I get paid!”.
Sure. I’ve been fooled many times. Too many. Now I have an app for that. And yes, I’m looking at you - you supposedly good friend of mine who still has to give me 37 Euros for the dinner I bought you three weeks ago.
Tabs by Patrick Mandia lets you keep track of where your money is and notify “your buddies”. You create a new tab for each contact who owes you money, you enter date and amount, then you’ll be able to either call him (mob-style), send him a message or an email. Too bad there’s no “here’s where he lives, go get him” option in the Settings. Perhaps in a future update.
Tabs is only $0.99 in the App Store. Go buy it, but don’t gift it to anyone.
This is an offer you can’t offer you can’t refuse.
Icebird is an innovative Twitter client I reviewed back in April, and I know that there’s a pretty active userbase loving it. Developer Fabian Kreiser released an update for the app yesterday, which brings Retina Display support, possibility to hide direct messages and connect users with Address Book, improved caching and state saving.
The app is available here at $3.99.
And there are an old BlackBerry Bold 9700 and a Samsung Captivate in there, too. Just look at the scrolling, tap to zoom and yes, raw speed. As Dave Caolo also notices:
“As the tests progress, the testers get desperate for their horse to win. At one point, Dieter notes that enabling Wi-Fi on the iPhone 4 is “…a fiasco.” Grated, he did ensure that two unnecessary taps were required by leaving the Settings app in the Safari settings the last time he used it. Four taps to turn something on is hardly a “fiasco.” Do you know what is? When the entire European Commission and all of Saudi Arabia decide not to use BlackBerries. That’s a fiasco.”

A few minutes ago the Facebook team announced that they’ve started rolling out privacy control to mobile users - iPhone web app included. In fact, the iPhone web app is the screenshot they chose to post.
Very useful and informative video for 3rd party accessory makers. [Laughing Squid via Limor Fried]
My Address Book is a mess. I know I should spend more time organizing it, importing Vcards and fixing the holes myself (missing emails, website info) but somehow I never find the time to do it. What’s even worse, though, is that there are dozens of contacts I never use on my iPhone but I don’t want to delete. Why? Because Apple’s mobile Address Book is broken: you can’t delete multiple contacts at once and it takes 5 steps to delete a single one. Five.
I must thank the guys over at Elegant Hippo for shipping Spring Cleaning, which finally brings proper contact organization to the iPhone.
Available in Cydia at $1.99, Infinifolders is a great tweak by chpwn (developer of Infinidock and Infiniboard) that allows you to bypass Apple’s limitations of 12 apps in a single iOS 4 folder. With Infinifolders you’ll be able to put inside a folder as many apps as you want, choose the color of the scroll bar and even paginate the folder.
It’s a very useful tweak, recommended to jailbreakers.
Last night the Dev-Team finally flipped the switch on ultrasn0w for iPhone, the unlock tool that enables you to use different SIMs on locked devices. It’s a pretty big deal for US users.To install the tool, you have to add the repo666.ultrasn0w.com repository in Cydia - of course you have to be on a jailbroken device first.
Version 1.0-1 of ultrasn0w works for:
iPhone4 baseband 01.59
3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04
