Meet Cloudette, A Free CloudApp Client for iPhone

Together with Dropbox, CloudApp is another tool I couldn’t work without anymore. Originally developed as Mac-only sharing utility by the Linebreak guys, CloudApp eventually evolved to have a full-featured web interface and an API for developers to plug into and create unofficial clients. Thanks to this integration with 3rd party applications, some great pieces of software like Courier for Mac, Weet and Prizmo for iPhone gained CloudApp uploading capabilities. Not to mention Cloud2Go, the first unofficial (and paid) CloudApp client for iPhone.

Cloudette is a new CloudApp client for iPhone (and soon iPad) which lets you check on your files, and upload new ones. For free. Read more

GrabBox Automatically Uploads Screenshots to Dropbox

Dropbox is the greatest invention of this decade. I mean it: it allows you to effortlessly sync thousands of files and folders between computers and mobile devices, and I know a few business that depend on it for all their work material. I depend on it as well. And it’s not that iOS and OS X developers didn’t spot the huge market: Dropbox-based applications are flourishing in the App Store.

GrabBox is a Mac app that lets you easily upload screenshots to your Dropbox Public folder and share the link with your friends. Read more

iPod Nano $43.73? Wow, That’s a Low Price!

iSuppli.com has estimated that the new 8GB iPod nano has a bill of materials at $43.73. This is the second-lowest BOM of all members of the iPod line. Only the 4G generation product had a less expensive BOM, at $40.80.

Instead of piling on features, as so many brands do with their latest products, Apple with the sixth-generation iPod has maintained or even removed some attributes in order to fit the form factor and function desired,” said Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst and teardown services manager, for iSuppli. “This has enabled Apple to offer the smallest iPod including a touch screen, while keeping component costs to a strict budget.

Fox News Reviews The Apple TV

So here’s how it works. Let’s say I’m out watching an episode of Star Trek on my iPad. When I walk in my front door I can continue watching that same episode on my ginormous HDTV with the flick of a finger, and vice versa. How handy is that?

Apple told me the company has opened this feature to third-party developers, and  that’s where my imagination runs wild. Think of the possibilities! Imagine the apps you could be flicking back and forth across all of your iDevices: NPR, Netflix, YouTube, MLB, Hulu, Internet Radio, Pandora, the list goes on. AirPlay could be the most important Apple announcement in years.

Here’s to hoping for a great Apple TV commercial featuring AirPlay.

Official Google Voice App in Store Soon?

According to a report at TechCrunch, the official Google Voice app has been approved and could arrive in the Store sometime soon. It comes no surprise, last week GV Mobile + and GV Connect were both approved, which are 3rd party Google Voice applications.

In July 2009, Apple blocked the application from the App Store so Google created a web app version of Google Voice, like they have done with many of their other browser-based services. On September 9, 2010, Apple posted guidelines telling developers which applications wouldn’t be allowed into the App Store, and there was no mention of Google Voice. Soon after, the aforementioned apps were approved. Read more
