Long-time TUAW readers know that I’m a fan of geocaching, and that I wrote a post about using the iPhone 3G for geocaching back in July. At the time, there were no true geocaching apps available for the iPhone 3G, so I talked about how to use the software that comes on the phone to find hidden caches.
Since July, a number of apps have appeared (Geopher Lite and iGeocacher to name a couple), but I’ve been holding out for one from Groundspeak, the folks who first started up Geocaching.com back in 2000. While listening to my favorite podcast, Podcacher, this morning, I heard co-host Sonny talking about the upcoming release of the “official” geocaching iPhone app. When I returned home from a walk I was tracking with TrailGuru, I visited Geocaching.com and read the details in their online forums.
We all love the iPhone, but the problem is that we love it so much that we want it to be perfect.
One of the features that would help make the iPhone perfect is support for Adobe’s Flash and looks like we might see it soon as Paul Betlem, Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems, has just confirmed that Adobe is indeed developing a Flash Player for the iPhone during a Town Hall meeting at the Flash on the Beach Conference.
After being criticized for giving users a “light” version of its social network, Facebook on Tuesday launched its version 2.0 app (free, App Store) for iPhone and iPod touch.
This is just a quick update telling you that we have two more reviews on their way!
Firstly, SwitchEasy is shipping us a capsuleneo in black! If you do not know about this case, click here .
Switcheasy No longer ships to Canada until the 13th of October, so instead i will ask them to send it to a freind in the united states, who will then send it to me. This process will hopefully take under two weeks, but i will have the marware review to entertain you until then.
When someone told me that Kroll was released on the app store, my first response was: “What is Kroll?” Soon I was reminded that a video was shown of it at the WWDC. The graphics looked very impressive, and the person I was talking to told me how much fun it was. So I said: “What do you do?”. They paused for a moment. Their answer was: “You run around and kill stuff with your club”. Wow, I thought, That sounds like a blast. But I soon realized that you are faced with a similar predicament when trying to describe any video game. In Mario you run and hit blocks with your head and jump on stuff. So I decided the best way to find out about this game was to get it. So I did.
After we’ve seen the iPhone ready for Russia, it’s not such a big surprise the Ukrainian release. The iPhone is rumored to arrive the night between October 2nd and October 3rd with MTS as the carrier selling it.

BeeJive has had an instant messenger application for the iPhone in the form of a Web App for quite some time — in fact, it was one of the best! Recently, BeeJive has ventured into the world of native iPhone applications. I already mentioned most of the features of BeeJive in a previous post, so this time I’ll examine the main features.
“Push” notifications of new IMs The BeeJive developers are proud to offer 24/7 connectivity, meaning you can receive IMs even if the app is closed. They accomplish this feat by connecting you through their servers and sending you updates through email if you receive an IM while the application is closed. This works well, as long as you have a push email account.
