iPhone OS 4 Beta 4 Flashlight Feature or Bug?
MacStories reader Nik Treiber (@treibercc) has found out something very interesting in the latest OS 4 beta: if you try to push the sleep / wake button for three times in a row when in the lockscreen, the iPhone goes in Flashlight mode.
Could this be a feature or a simple bug of the beta? It’s very useful for sure.
Check out the video he recorded after the break.
Design your Next iPhone Application with Dapp
A lot of people have great ideas in mind, but visualizing such opportune designs involves a lot of guess work, sketching, wire framing, and a bit of code. Imagine if you had an application that could not only help you mockup your next application, but provide you with the ability to export your product into native SDK Objective-C source code? Dapp for the iPhone allows developers to do just that.

TinyGrab for iPhone Is What We Were Missing
It’s been a while since I last wrote about quick file sharing apps. I’m talking about excellent pieces of software like Cloud, Droplr, Fileshuttle and Tinygrab: apps that allow you to select an image, file or URL from Finder or Safari and send it to the cloud with a few clicks, and then share a short link on your social network of choice.
Let’s talk about Tinygrab. Tinygrab is one of the most popular image sharing services that, unlike many others, comes both with a Mac desktop app and a Windows version. They have a pretty huge userbase and they have just released a shiny new iPhone app, developed by my good friend Tim Davies. Wait, what? An iPhone app to share images? Yeah, I have to admit that it’s a new thing to me as well - I mean, if I want to share an image on Twitter I use the built in img.ly uploading features.
Could a mobile image sharing app hold on to its desktop version?
Find Something Good To Watch with TV Show Tracker for iPhone
House ended last week. V ended with a red sky. LOST’s finale premiered last night. 24’s last episode ever will go down tonight. With all these wonderful shows ending before the summer season, it’ll become a great time to catch up on other shows and catch great reruns. TV Show Tracker for the iPhone and iPod Touch is pretty fantastic at tracking down something you’re remotely interested in.

Chirpy, Twitter DMs As Text Messages
If you spend many hours a day on Twitter, I guess you’re quite into having conversations with your followers, but sometimes you’d like to keep these conversations private. And you have an iPhone too, perhaps running the recently released Twitter’s official app so that you can send direct messages with it. But, Twitter for iPhone doesn’t support push notifications for DMs. Hell, it doesn’t support push notifications for anything.
If you’d like to receive instant notifications for your Twitter DMs, look no further than Chirpy.
