iPhone Magnetic Mount Lenses
The iPhone magnetic mount lenses come in three versions, a wide angle lens, a telephoto lens and a fish eye lens. - sandhal from Bookmarklet
I like it, but only in theory. I think carrying these around with me is simply too much hassle. Are the magnets strong enough to attach through my swanky leather case? - Fox Tucker
great find! reshared in my feed :-) - vijay
I read about these back in December. Have they been released? Has anyone seen them or used them? - M C Morgan

Yahoo! oneConnect™ for iPhone. A new way to stay in touch.
It seems quite useful - LoreArtifex from Bookmarklet
Yahoo's doing lots of useful stuff lately. But I don't feel comfortable building on, say, YQL, without knowing Yahoo will exist next year. :-/ - Jeremy Dunck
Been playing around with this. Some nice components to aggregate a bunch of the social nets and easily update. Not completely sold yet. - Dana D

Blip.fm | What are you listening to?
"I've used Pandora, Last.fm, Mufin and some others but I keep coming back to Blip.fm" - Russellreno
last.fm is still my favorite. but i use blip.fm and hypem.com as well and scrobble to last.fm. in fact i use anything that will scrobble to last.fm. - Lynne d Johnson
ok, who actually uses this? And can you please explain how it actually works...Do you have to type in what you're actually listening to?? - Zee.
Zee - I use blip nearly every day. It's awesome. It integrates seeqpod (I think) and you "blip" (like tweet) songs with a little message too. The interface lets you listen to all tracks in a similar way to favtape. - Matt Harwood
Last.fm is my favorite for keeping track of my friends' listening habits, music discovery and listening to internet radio, but I love blip.fm for giving me a way to tweet and ff out what i'm listening to and to instantly hear what my friends are listening to. - Mattie Kenny
Last.fm tracks my listening habits. blip.fm allows me to pull up any song I'm thinking of and post it somewhere. You can also create a playlist. And it all (for the most part) can be made part of your last.fm stats via the aforementioned scrobbling functions. - Helen Sventitsky
before blip.fm i used twittytunes (i still use it), it's a firefox addon. while i'm listening to itunes and scrobbling to last.fm, i can send a tweet of what i'm listening to with twittytunes. i think bc of this blip.fm hasn't wowed me yet, other than being able to listen to friends' playlists. - Lynne d Johnson
hey - that's really interesting Lynne. thank you. - Zee.
Lynne - I used to use twittytunes but then when I upgraded my FF, the plugin didn't work anymore and I never bothered to add it. You bring up a very good point. - Mattie Kenny
bump due to duplicate - Zee.
I like Blip, but haven't been as active on it as I used to be. I would lose followers whenever I blipped more than 3 times in a day. They need to beef up their selection. You used to be able to add your own stuff easily, but there are restrictions now. - Bryan R. Adams
Have to say that Twisten.fm works a bit better in some aspects. - "Jazzperous" Isaksson
Could you elaborate Jeppe? Blip is just a search engine. None of the music resides on their servers, it just streams MP3 it finds on the net. Some (many?) of those servers are not very reliable. - Jared B. Luther

I find it *really* annoying that the page has to reload when moving between screens on Safari. This makes you lose the focus on the article you are reading on Google Reader thus making it impossible to share an item before you read the original article.
of course I meant "impossible to share an item *after* you read the original article": the article will not show up on GR once you go back to your reading list, because it is already "marked as read" - santiromero
Have you tried getting Byline app and then using that to star/share items before you read them in Safari? You can read almost everything in Byline so u don't need to switch between the two. - Amani
@Amani yes I actually like Byline very much. However syncing takes a while sometimes (I've got 500+ feeds), so I keep coming back to GR... - santiromero
Doppler is another OK app for feeds. Worth checking out - Henrik - Henrik
LOL - The 'auto refresh' problem is the single biggest complaint I get from users of my iPhone adult site at xratedmob.com - Seriously! I get at least 20 emails a week from users telling me to fix it. - Fox Tucker
I fully agree with the original point, not because of Google Reader, but because of how it affects my FF reading when I use Tabulate. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

IPhone Apps: SimCity May Be the First Must-Have iPhone Game
Whatever you do, though, don't go thinking this is SimCity Lite. This mobile version is fully featured, with pre-built cities, accountant recommendations, water pipes, natural disasters, etc. The works. [Pinching] in as close as you can on the 2D sprites reveals intricate details, such a smoke emitting from towers, or shading alongside the buildings. Overall, a really nice graphical presentation that compares similarly to SimCity 3000. - Kelly W. from Bookmarklet
Does it come with an extra battery? - Bill Sodeman
I wish the app would just come out already. Since first hearing about the app I check 2 times a day on the apple app store. I search the net for stories about it. I really want this app!!!! - Colide81 (James)
@Colide81 Appshopper has a handy feed you can subscribe to for new apps. If you really wanted to get fancy, you could run that through Yahoo Pipes to get an update in your feed reader when the app is released. - Devon Campbell

Grrrrr to not being able to hang up a call if you receive a SMS during it. The SMS sits above the button and wont let you hang up till you hit close.
The pop-up notification UI is completely obstructive and outdated. Apple's got to change the notification model to mimic the one on Android phones, by using the menu bar and a button to open it like a drawer. - Dudu P
agree Android does this better than iPhone. so does Windows Mobile and S60. it's a definite weak spot, although those aren't as nifty as Android. - Jon Price

Proposal to merge this room with the more populous iPhone room... http://friendfeed.com/rooms.... See lots of redundant posts here.
good idea me thinks :) - Fox Tucker
Sounds good to me. I originally started this in the run-up to the 3G release. How do we merge the two rooms? - James
Always a good idea to reduce repetitive reiterated redundancies. - LogEx
don't think there's a way to merge. suggest that the admin put a note in big letters in the header telling people to go to the other room. - Jon Price

Apple Patent: Future iPhones May Have Always-On Display
A nice feature if they increase battery life to compensate. - Fox Tucker
Yeah I agree, why? It's easy enough to push the home button if I want to see the time, mail etc. Seems like a battery waster. Aren't there better features they could/should be working on instead? - Jon West
Jon, I believe this is just a patent... meaning that they aren't really actively working on this for an near and upcoming iPhone update. There are lots of things Apple has patented that have never seen the light of day yet. - David Bisset

""That was fast. It's barely Nov. 21 and the iPhone 2.2 update is here, all 246MB of it, as promised. Included in the update, according to the release notes and as we'd heard, are all the new Google Maps features we've been waiting for like Street View (which is so far butter smooth and delicious over Wi-Fi, slightly less magical over 3G), public transit and walking directions, as well as over-the-air podcast downloads, mail enhancements, Safari tweaks, improved sound quality for visual voicemail, fewer dropped calls (again), and more. But you know, not MMS or copy and paste. Grab it now."" - Susan Beebe

Why Apple Won't Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone | Gadget Lab from Wired.com
"Don't hold your breath waiting for the iPhone to support Adobe's Flash software: Apple's terms-of-service agreement prohibits it. Although Adobe says it is working on a version of its popular Flash player for the iPhone, Apple is unlikely ever to permit it to appear in the handset's App Store, no matter how much customers want it." - Jonathon from Bookmarklet

This is a drawing my 4 year old daughter made after playing Trace on my iPhone. She loves playing this game, and always wants to borrow my phone to play with. It is a game with so many interesting levels. It's got wonderful music too. Here you see a drawing of her playing the game, and she even drew her finger. - Baard @ Pixum from Bookmarklet

LockDockBar is a free alternative to IntelliScreen
"LockDockBar is an application that displays 4 icons on your locked screen: SMS, Calls, Emails, Calendar. The app displays the notification badges for each app so if for example you have a new email, you will see this notification next to the email icon. From there, instead of unlocking the phone and launching the mail app, you simply tap the mail icon from your lock screen and it takes you there directly." - Baard @ Pixum from Bookmarklet
