fring 0.9785

May 7, 2008 by Brooke

There are no visual changes with version 0.9875 of fring. However, below is a list of the changes (via the developer).

1. Issues resulting in deleted SMS (additional QA work on our side still in progress).
2. mVoIP calls on 1.1.2 are now fully supported.
3. Incoming SIP calls are also available with this new version.

I still think the app is a little sketchy. I am able to randomly make outgoing calls to Skype from my iPhone. I still am unable to make calls from Skype to my iPhone. Let me know if you have the same results. fring is available through the fring source.

iFob 1.45

April 30, 2008 by Brooke

When I went to do a review on the update for iFob…I remembered how cool it actually was! Just the thought of a native social networking app that informs you when you are near other people who have iPhones is just so very cool! I would love to hear about your experiences with this app. If you have ever used it and if you actually met another iPhone user, a total stranger, through iFob! The possibilities! Ok, now for the updates! The update to iFob adds a new option that I think is really helpful! In the Settings, you are now able to turn on/off the ability to see yourself on the Near list. I honestly like the ability to turn this option on because, [Read more…]

Twitxr 0.5

April 25, 2008 by Douglas

Twitxr is an iPhone app for the website Twitrx.com. Twitxr allows you to publish a picture to your Twitter account. From the iPhone you can either take a photo from within Twitxr or pull photos from your camera roll. If you choose to take a picture it will show up in your camera roll later. Once you choose your picture you just type your text and send it. It posts to your Twitxr account which then posts to your Twitter with a link to the photo. Other features include seeing other users pics from Twitxr, recording your location (is only seen on the Twitxr website) and toggle for high res picture (turn off for faster edge experience).

MobileTwitter 1.5

April 15, 2008 by Douglas

I have been testing this app for a few days (before it was publicly released tonight) and there are many updates including some color changes to black, very nice.

Below is the full list of changes and screenshots. Mobile Twitter is available through the Ste Packaging source.

fring This app is real Skype for the iPhone, and more. I am testing this app as I write this and so far I have successfully used Skype over wifi and the call worked perfect! You can get more info at Fring.com. fring is available through the fring source.

Twinkle 0.7

April 10, 2008 by Brooke

I was soo excited when I woke up this morning and saw Twinkle in the Installer!! When Doug wrote about it the other day…it was still in private beta! But, now everyone can enjoy it!! I really like this twitter app, better than all the others I have used. There doesn’t seem to be any new features from the things Doug talked about in the Last Post about Twinkle. So, install and enjoy! Twinkle is available through the Polar Bear Farm source.

Twinkle RC 4

April 9, 2008 by Douglas

While testing MobileTwitter I posted a tweet that I was reviewing a new Twitter app for the iPhone and someone twittered back asking if it was Twinkle. So I thought I’d try it out too. Twinkle is very well designed and has some really sweet features. One is the Near Me feature. I can see tweets around me from ranges 1 to 252,000 miles. Of course that means that it will post your location too (this can be turned off). Another sweet feature is you can attach a photo to your tweet. It looks like only other Twinkle users can see the image. It would be sweet if it would post a link to the photo like iTwitxr. As expected, it comes with the standard twitter features of replying to tweets, sending private messages, viewing profiles, public timeline, etc.

Here’s the bad news… [Read more…]

iChabber 0.9

April 3, 2008 by Jacob

Version 0.9 of iChabber is an update from 0.2, and I found one change. The login screen gives you alot more options for entering in your user name and password. Check out the screen shot below to see the additions. I did however have a problem with this app, when I try to start typing a new message I cannot see anything that I type appear on the screen. I can even send it, and i see my name in the chat list, but nothing besides my name. Is this just a bug for me, or have you had the same problems? Comment below! [Read more…]

iChabber 0.2

March 31, 2008 by Douglas

This app allows you to chat using your gmail account or other jabber account. I’ve tested it and it works. Very fast over WiFi. Simple setup, just type in your username and password. You can use a proxy if you’d like but it’s not necessary. I think it would be nicer if it looked more like the stock SMS. I don’t like going to a separate screen to type than the history page. It would also be kewl if a badge appeared when on the springboard when you have new messages. There is also a User button in the buddy list menu that doesn’t do anything for me. Available through the iSpazio Source.

March 29, 2008 by Brooke

Many of you will be happy to see version 0.3.8 for SwirlyMMS.

Hopefully this version fixes those issues. Let me know in the comments! SwirlyMMS is available through the Swirlyspace source. This app is also available through the Ste Packaging source however, [Read more…]

MobileChat 2.21

March 5, 2008 by Brooke

MobileChat is an AIM application for the iPhone. This is really a nice app…honestly I’m not sure I have seen one better than this. When you first open the app you will come to a blank screen (which will eventually show a list of all your accounts) where you can Add an Account or Edit your Account list (which allows you to delete an account). You will want to start by adding an Account. When you tap on Add Account you are brought to a list of AIM services you can choose from including; AOL, .mac, XMPP, msn and icq. Just tap on the one you would like to add…then type in your screenname and password for that account and tap Save in the upper right corner. You will be brought back to the main list. To sign into an account, just tap on it. Once you have selected an account, it will sign you in…this process takes a little while so be patient…it will give you a warning if it cannot connect…if you don’t have a warning or you are not connected…just wait! Once you are connected [Read more…]
