Here is a guide to setup your Live Broadcast from your iPhone using Flixwagon:
First Look: 1Password for iPhone
Filed under: iPhone, App Store
Managing passwords on the go is about to get easier, now that 1Password for iPhone has hit the App Store [iTunes link]. The release features secure notes, wireless sync to your Mac, and all the credential-caching fun you expect from the full-size tool — in a handy pantsable format.
I was able to install 1Password on my iPod touch and (after a few false starts) synchronize my 600+ desktop entries to the device, but unfortunately now 1Password coughs and dies on the touch when launched. I did manage to get some setup screenshots before things went south, including the desktop-side code entry to pair the device and the computer, so feel free to peruse the gallery — once we have a bit more time (and I’ve thinned out my sync list) we’ll give the long-awaited utility the full review it deserves.
Palringo brings first “Rich Messaging Service” to the iPhone
iPhone owners can now download Palringo’s rich messaging service (RMS) application from Apple’s new App Store. Palringo enables picture messaging, text-based messaging and, soon, vocal instant messaging over the iPhone’s data connection.
Palringo integrates with several existing popular instant-messaging (IM) services: AOL’s AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, Gadu Gadu, ICQ, Jabber and Windows Live Messenger. People can also use Palringo to contact their friends using iChat, Apple’s IM client.
Apple stores issue ‘golden tickets’ for iPhone 3G buyers
People are still lining up at Apple stores to pay iPhone 3G’s. Clearly, people are crazy about Apple’s new phone, but what is Apple doing to make it a little easier to get your hands on a shiny new iPhone? Our friends at iPhone Central note that Apple stores have new, extended hours to pack the people in. Apple stores are now opening at 8am, for you early rising iPhone seekers.
Apple retail staffers will also be roaming the lines and prequalifing people for iPhone purchases. Once you’ve been prequalified you are issued a ticket that is good for an iPhone 3G. You can use the ticket right then and there (when it is your turn, of course) or return later in the day.
