This is interesting. Pretty similar to Kyle Conroy’s “What if I bought Apple stock instead?” table, Finlay Craig is now telling us that if we had spent £499.00 (the price of an iPhone 4 in the UK) worth of Apple, Inc. stock in 1985 we would have got 52 iPhone 4s today.
52 units. All piled on top of each other. Sounds like a plan. Does this work with iPod Nanos today? ‘Cause I wouldn’t mind getting 279 Nanos in 2024.
You know, that’s how stock works. Kind of. Read more
eBoy’s FixPix game used to be amongst my all-time favorite games for the iPhone. Now the app, still priced at $0.99, has gone universal and supports the iPad as well. Plus it’s got 50 brand new shiny levels. And a new icon. And increased difficulty.
Oh boy. This is awesome. Go guy the app right now. Read more
I talked about myPhoneDesktop 1.5 for iPhone and iPad a few hours ago, and here comes a dedicated Chrome extension to force me to cover the app once again. This extension is simple and powerful: all you have to do is sign in through the web interface and start sending links, pictures or text to your device.
The extension supports multiple copied items at once: if you try to send a link, text and image at the same time you’ll be asked if you want to keep the extension window active to select the items you want to forward to the iPhone. It’s really great, and it lets you speed up your workflow by not needing to use a standalone desktop application.
It’s the perfect companion to myPhoneDesktop for iPhone and iPad. Go download it here. Read more
When it comes to quickly sharing any kind of information between my desktop browser and the iPhone, I have one and only favorite tool of choice: myPhoneDesktop. What this app does is simple, yet effective: it allows you to share links, text, images, phone numbers and maps from your browser to the iPhone (or iPad, it’s universal) in seconds. You hit a button (of course, you have to create a mPD account first), and boom - you get a notification on the phone. Read more
Here’s a great video to kick off this Monday morning: available over at Google Code, the Einstein MessagePad emulator allows you to run Newton OS on other devices such as the iPhone (seen in the embedded video below), iPod Touch and, yes, iPad.
From what we can see in the video everything seems a little sluggish and slow, but come one - it’s the Newton OS on your iPhone. Black and white colors included. If you’re brave enough, check out the instructions to get it running on your iPhone here. Read more
EpicWin is an interesting app for iPhone to get things done we reviewed a while ago which combines typical productivity features as a todo list with…RPG elements. As you get things done and check off items from your list your character moves on in a RPG-inspired map, collects loots and becomes an epic hero. It’s an original approach to mobile productivity you should definitely check out. Read more
Chpwn, developer of popular tools such as Infinifolders, Infiniboard and Infinidock, has submitted a new tweak to Cydia called “Covert” which will enable iPhone users to activate the Private Browsing mode while using Safari.
I tweeted this a few days ago, but it’s worth a re-link. Shame on this developer.
