iPad’s Newest Accessory - iArm
Is having only 2 arms not good enough for you iPad users? What if I said that you can add a third arm for only $8? That’s right, I said $8! “Wow, Chris, that is such an amazing deal, I would pay upwards of $100 for that” said Federico Viticci. Okay, enough of the pitchman talk. It’s a good thing it’s only a prank pack product (or we’d all buy one); you can order this but it’s only a gift box, no actual iArm ships.

In this case, Apple TV’s sneak peak provides two promises. First, that the system itself will be somewhat customizable and programmable for people who wish to extend its use beyond the built-in features. Second, that we’re looking at the future of OS X installs. Apple TV’s iOS shows that non-mobile devices without touch screens can leverage iOS’s newer, more modern frameworks without sacrificing general computability.

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
