Facebook iPhone App Experiencing Connection Issues (It’s Not Just You) Facebook iPhone App Experiencing Connection Issues (It’s Not Just You)

My grandma has been texting me for the past couple days asking me to help her fix her Facebook iPhone App. She said it’s not refreshing her news feed and can’t see people’s walls. I told her to shake it (that forces the app to refresh.) It didn’t work. Then I noticed I am having the same issues. Have you been experiencing problems? Let us know in the comments. I checked out Twitter and it looks like we’re not the only... [Read more of this article]

Douglas commented on jQTouch – What You Can Really Do With Safari On The iPhone:
No, this is to add features like full screen web apps, swipe, toggles, etc. These are just basic web apps to demo the features.

mastuul commented on Overboard – View SpringBoard Pages Exposé style:
I agree, it works really well and has more options. Now we'll have to see what Orbit 1.1 has to offer.
mastuul commented on jQTouch – What You Can Really Do With Safari On The iPhone:
So it basically adds web app icons to your springboard for apps that are already there (like notes, clock, etc.)? I don't think I'd have much use for it, but we'll see.
Richard commented on Overboard – View SpringBoard Pages Exposé style:
OverBoard seems much faster and more responsive than Orbit 1.0 and as stated by Brooke's post more functionality. OverBoard has taken Orbit's spot in my dock. We will see how this little app rivalry plays out.
atr commented on Friday Night Movie Night: Blower – Real Air (But Does It Really Work?):
Well, I have to admit it, it works. You don't get gale force winds out of it, but you do get some slight air movement, and you can feel it. It was worth the 99 cents (plus tax) to find out.

Magellan car kit detailed at FCC filingThe Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Filed under: ,

That was fast. We just learned Magellan was going to offer a car kit for the iPhone and it has already hit the FCC. GPSTracklog.com has a detailed drawing of the new device, and it looks to be quite complete. Magellan has said the kit will be on sale before the end of the year, and even give the iPod touch full nav capabilities.

The car kit is supposed to allow any iPhone GPS app to work with it, so you're not limited to the Magellan app. It works in portrait or landscape mode, and has a speaker for hearing directions and also link to your iPhone for Bluetooth based calls.

The Magellan Roadmate app itself [iTunes link] has a boatload of good features, and we're anxious to get our hands on the app for a full test. Holiday travelers will have a lot of good choices for navigating to your destinations. Remember when we thought the plain old Google Maps app was cool?

Thanks to Rich for the tip.

Solar iPhone Charger Concept Has Another UseGizmodo: iphone

Although it'll be awkward to have this iPetals solar charger out on the street, taking advantage of the sun to keep your phone charged is just smart.

Only a concept now, but this charger-that's-also-a-iPhone-stand is easy enough that some Chinese company could quickly put out a solution in a few months. [Petit Invention via Into Mobile]

Google Earth for iPhone updated to 2.0 with map compatibilityInfinite Loop

Google announced Wednesday that Google Earth for iPhone has been updated to version 2.0. Though the major version number has incremented, the update is rather minor except for a new ability to connect to your saved Google Maps and view them overlaid on its virtual globe.

The main reason to grab this update is in integrated ability to view maps that you have saved to "My Maps" using Google Maps or the desktop version of Google Earth. Google offered the examples of checking maps for where Lonely Planet co-founder Tony Wheeler likes to travel or where chef Ferran Adrià likes to eat. However, it could also be used for viewing things like tracking a recent road trip, hike, or even a bike ride. Just enter your Google account login credentials, and you can select from any of your saved maps to overlay on the Earth.

AT&T loses first round in battle over Verizon adsThe Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Filed under: ,

The Associated Press is reporting that an Atlanta Federal judge has denied an AT&T request to pull the Verizon 'there's a map for that' ads.

The judge has set a December 16th hearing to give AT&T another chance to make a case.

AT&T filed suit earlier this month looking for a temporary restraining order to stop the ads, and wanted a permanent injunction to halt them. The ads say that the AT&T network is not up to the quality or range of the Verizon network, and shows two coverage maps to make the point. AT&T claims the maps are misleading, and injures the company reputation.

Verizon has said the commercials are truthful and accurate.

The case pits the two communication giants against each other as they fight for increasing shares of the mobile market. AT&T has an exclusive on the iPhone, and that has brought AT&T an increasingly growing share of mobile customers.

Verizon was reportedly offered an exclusive on the iPhone more than 2 years ago but turned it down. There have been sporadic reports that Verizon would like to get the iPhone back when the AT&T contract expires, but with some Verizon ads targeting the iPhone as well as AT&T that looks to be increasingly unlikely.
