I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded Remote and still can't get it to work. I launch the app, click on my device in iTunes, and there's no prompt for me to enter the 4 digit code. I checked the options to make sure everything was correct as well. Any ideas? There doesn't seem to be much support for it yet.

Facebook: Decent, but seems a little cludgier than the mobile Facebook client accessible through Safari. I had some weird issues seeing my friend's picture albums.

iPint: Get this immediately. Turns your iPhone into a virtual beer mug, filled with the tasty golden liquid. When you tilt it, the glass empties. It makes me crave beer intensely!

I have a Touch, so by far the best app for me is Instapaper. You can save any webpage on your computer, and you can access them through the Instapaper app while offline. The cool thing is that you can the original web page, or a mobile version.

Yeah in theory the new device should appear right I've tried a bunch of different things but can't get it to pop. It says iTouch is supported, maybe only iPhones work?

The Remote app is life changing.

Edit: you might need that "Bonjour" networking stuff to make it work right.

I double checked to see Bonjour was running, checked in services.msc and restarted/started it again, etc. Looks like I'm not the only one with the issue though. Some are saying it might have to do with uPnP. I know I've had issues streaming via Tversity and WMP11 using my Laptop running Media Center as well. Been through the firewall and router a bunch of times too with no luck.

Tversity streams fine from my other XP machine. I figured I'd give it a shot and install iTunes on that one, but low and behold, iTunes won't even launch after I freshly installed it, even with a reboot. The process just hangs there with zero activity. It's just not my lucky Apple day!

You might also check to make sure that iTunes is configured to look for remotes in the Advanced Options. It should pop up over in the left window. I was able to get it up and running under both XP and Vista, though I'm not running much in the way of super-duper encryption.

Ereader Pro is available free. All of the books I purchased for my Treo even showed up on the 'bookshelf'. Functionality is basic, but they are promising more in version 1.1 before the end of July.

The "Tuner" app will open audio streams via URL.

It works pretty well but chews the battery.

Never used that before... from the looks of things, though, it seems to only use its own proprietary format.

I used to use something called uBook for my pocketpc, and I thought it was great. It would read zipped HTML, text, rtf... and best of all, there was automatic page scrolling (something that is essential, in my opinion, when dealing with the small screen space of a handheld device). I have yet to find a "commercial" book reader that even touches uBook for functionality.

Right now, I'm using Mobipocket reader on my Blackberry Curve... which seems to be the only ebook reader available for Blackberry. It's OK, and at least I can build my own books with the creator software. But still... my quest for the perfect ebook reader goes on.

Rejoice! Palringo is out now.

is this a free client? I have 4-5 separate IM programs on my blackberry, so an "all-in-one" solution would be nice... I'm just sure as hell not going to pay for one.

It locked up on me while taking a picture. I've used the app on windows mobile and it's excellent. Sadly the limitations are that of the SDK, not the app.

Worked like crap on my BB with OS 4.5. Deleted.

It's just like Digsby where all your settings can be used on any platform. If I sign into palringo from my iphone, then go to windows mobile all i have to do is just sign in. No need to transfer settings.

BeatMaker is an incredibly cool musicmaking program. For an iPhone app it's remarkably sophisticated - sort of like a stripped-down, mobile version of Reason. It's $20 and, amazingly, worth every penny if you're looking for a surprisingly flexible hardware beatbox/software sequencer kinda thing for your iphone.

Beatmaker is still a toy, but just barely. It's gorgeous to look at and makes excellent use of the touch screen. Hit up the product website and check out the screenshots. I've spent 3 hours with it and feel like I've just scratched the surface. It's not really kid-friendly, and it presupposes some familiarity withy sequencers, etc., but it is awesome.

Honestly, I did not know the iPhone could do such things.
