If you want to record video on your iPhone 3GS and aren’t happy with the built in microphone, then you could add one of these Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone’s. The Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone lets you position the microphone in a variety of different angles, and according to the guys over at Brando it will give you ten times better reception. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet
The capsule costs you $14 at Brando :O - Praveen Vasudev
Wow..., I actually think the internal microphone is incredible. -  Clark Baumgartner
It definitely is!! But this claims to have 10x the qualtiy :D - Praveen Vasudev
10x perfect is still perfect? I've been told that the iPhone's mic can only be made better with thousands of dollars of audio processing............, but of course, I'm sure this product is worthwhile..., especially being able to direct it. -  Clark Baumgartner
That's the maximum it can get on iPhone :D - Praveen Vasudev

It's really annoying how I can't remove Apple apps that I never use like "Stocks". Stocks for example appears to be powered by Yahoo finance data. Does anyone know if Apple receives money from Yahoo by keeping the App on the iPhone?? I noticed that when I clicked a link in the app and was brought to Safari and was presented with this screenshot.
IMG_0057.PNG
maybe they want you to track "AAPL" stock quotes? - Hans Kainz
If the Almighty Steve Jobs deems the app to be necessary, who are we to question his judgement. All kidding aside, it's probably part of the Kernal or it's a set of apps that are locked by the OS. Maybe if you jail broke the phone, then you can remove it. Not really sure though. - Gerard Lagana
If you jailbreak the iPhone there are methods of making the app "hidden" and no longer on your screen...but thats about it. - Laww
On a related note, their "Weather" app is crap, too. Also powered by Yahoo! Coincidence? - Hiro Asari
Hiro: Their Map app is powered by Google and is pretty good though...Coincidence? haha - Mike Bracco
I just move the crap apps to my last page and forget about 'em. - Bill Sodeman

iPhone 3.0 software has some new playlist and syncing tricks [Ars Technica]: http://arstechnica.com/apple...
thumb_podcast_ars.png
I'll have to try this. Does anyone know off-hand if after playback of a podcast is completed, so "Play Count is 1", does that podcast automatically disappear from the playlist on the iPhone, or does one have to resync for that to occur? - Bill Rodman
From what I understand Bill, that is exactly what this *should* do. Of course, I'm purely speculating based on the article's description of the functionality, and have not tested it myself. ;-) - Dan Dashnaw

SoundAMP hearing aid app for iPhone unleashed on our delicate ears - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
SoundAMP hearing aid app for iPhone unleashed on our delicate ears
SoundAMP works a lot like those Sonic Earz you see on the infomercials -- you run the app with your earbuds plugged in, and then sit back and enjoy listening to the sweet sounds of whatever's going on around you -- only louder. The app allows you to control volume and tone, and you can also replay the last 30 seconds of what you've been hearing -- in case you missed something particularly juicy. Now, personally, we put in the earbuds and crank up the tunes to shut out the outside world, but if this is your kind of thing -- it's available in the iTunes store right now for $9.99. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet
Praveen Vasudev
The app is just plain fantastic for any guitarist. It’s well supported for different tunings, bass guitars, 12 strings, and even left handed support. The user interface is beautifully crafted, with rich colours, good layout, and realistic renderings of the guitar fretboard. At $9.99, I’m pretty sure this is the app you want if amateur or professional guitaring is your kind of thing. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet
@Vijay: You might wanna check this out!! Atleast for the time being :D - Praveen Vasudev

"What really blew me away though is the fact that the touch point on your photo also regulates exposure and color temperature. Check out the image below to see the difference. I took a photo of a back lit subject with this feature. This is huge! With the old iPhone cameras, backlit photos were impossible. Now, just touch on the person’s face and take your shot." - ElStewie from Bookmarklet

Slow, Unreliable Wi-Fi Plaguing Some iPhone 3GS Units? | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/gadgetl...
"As if the number of consumers complaining about the iPhone 3GS’ battery life weren’t enough, now reports are arising about Wi-Fi problems. About 30 iPhone 3GS owners are reporting in Apple’s support forums that their Wi-Fi transfer rates are surprisingly sluggish — in some cases, considerably slower than on the older iPhone 3G." - Baard Overgaard Hansen from Bookmarklet
"“I’ve also got a 3G and now a 3GS and on Wi-FI the 3GS is much slower,” writes forum member Andy Worthington. “The 3GS and my Touch (all version 3) are at least twice the download speed and the signal strength [and] the 3GS fluctuates quite extremely. I’ve tried three different Wi-Fi networks (all with different routers) and the results are consistent each time. Clearly something is wrong.”" - Baard Overgaard Hansen

And no indication of 3G or Edge. Not getting calls either. Placing calls is intermittent. - Christopher Harley
Respring or reboot...it's just stuck :) - Mohamed J
I have several times, Mohamed. That just wasn't doing it. - Christopher Harley
Try restting it! By pressing Home button and the sleep/wake button. :) Hope it solve this isssue. - Mohammad Abdurraafay from iPhone
I have several times, Mohammad. That just wasn't doing it. ^^ - Christopher Harley

I keep getting that too. Which network are you on? - Daniel Lazarides
3G is enabled, Daniel. - Christopher Harley
Very, very annoying bug... I get it too... It flip flops between 3G/Edge and Wifi for no reason too - Bwana
Yeah, Bwana, exactly. - Christopher Harley

"FlowChat is by far the best internet chat (IRC) client for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I have personally been testing this IRC app for months. It feels more like a real desktop client than a mobile IRC clients. It’s really good. FlowChat combines a gorgeous interface with an extensive feature list that rivals that of most desktop chat clients. Upload and share photos and screenshots immediately with your friends, type in either portrait or landscape mode, visit links and browse the web without leaving FlowChat using the embedded web browser, autocomplete commands, channel names and nicknames, use one of the 5 bundled themes or create and install your own on-the-go, manage user and channel modes, or even get down and dirty with an unfiltered console view. And all of this from a sleek and elegant interface designed by professionals committed to bringing you the best possible internet chatting experience." - Andrew Trinh from Bookmarklet
Andrew thanks for the heads up on FlowChat. Sorely to buy it now. It will be my third IRC client for iPhone if I do. - David Hall from BuddyFeed
Looks very Linkinus-like. I've spent $5 on worse I guess. I'll give it a shot. - Adam Turetzky
I still really like Colloquy. -  Clark Baumgartner
Well I have in and bought it. First impressions? This looks like the slickest IRC client out there. It is not perfectly stable, yet, but it's very early days yet and I expect the developers will be capable of fixing whatever needs fixing. It's handling of multiple chats is magnificient and the GUI is sleek and attractive. I'm still not clear how to save favourite chat rooms though.... more... - David Hall from BuddyFeed
I'm with Clark. I really like Colloquy. - Larry Hudson

iPhone gets a fully 3D Grand Theft Auto clone – Video Games Reviews, Cheats | Geek.com
"Gangstar, much like the GTA series, has an open mission structure and a fully 3D world with a full 3D camera, unlike the top-down approach used by Payback and older GTA games. It’s also got car theft, radio stations, custom music playlists, running from the cops, auto-targeting and pretty much every other part of the gameplay trail that Grand Theft Auto 3 blazed back in the PlayStation 2 era. Set in a fictional Los Angeles, Gangstar is set to hit the App Store this summer." - ElStewie from Bookmarklet

"Mobile Spy runs in total stealth mode and no mentions of the program are shown on the iPhone 3GS. The software runs in the background behind all other applications. After the software is setup on the phone, it silently records the entire text of all SMS text messages, information about each call and actual GPS positions." - ElStewie from Bookmarklet

eBuddy = New, Free iPhone IM App That Does Push Notifications | Just Another iPhone Blog - http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpre...
eBuddy = New, Free iPhone IM App That Does Push Notifications | Just Another iPhone Blog
Installing now! I wonder, though, if I enable PUSH can I only have it do the IM and not email? Hm.... - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
installed and checking - attila erbilir
Me too :) Looks like so far PUSH is enabled on a per-app basis :D - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Yeah, this is nothing to do with email. Push is enabled on a per application basis, so turning this one on, will not alter your email push settings at all. - Patrick Jordan
Sending this from eBuddy :) Sweet! Now to enable push for it. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕ from IM
Looks stable on 3G 3.0, push works well, but Apple can not convince me with push notifications instead of multi-tasking - attila erbilir
Its biggest drawback I've seen so far is it only lets you stay connected for 30 minutes after exiting the app - other IM apps allow for much longer. - Patrick Jordan
I've quit the app and received IMs but wasn't notified on my home screen. :( Notifications are on. I'll keep testing - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Patrick maybe cos of it is free? (limited?) - attila erbilir
Zulema - I've got the alerts on home screen, even when in sleep mode - should work for your if you have it turned on. @ attila - probably so, I wasn't dinging it, just mentioning. - Patrick Jordan
I'm going to email them. According to their iPhone FAQ, I've got it set right: http://m.ebuddy.com/iphonea... Sign out after 30 mins for me but it says underneath "Push notifications are disabled" even tho they are on under Settings > Notifications. Mebbe it's because I'm jailbroken but I'm on a 3G with 3.0 firmware. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Oh it seems to be a problem with jailbroken iPhones and there's a complicated fix for "advanced users" http://www.blogsdna.com/3885... - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Zulema - read the link in your other post on the fix for that issue. That fix doesn't sound that advanced, but does seem a PITA - hope you get it working :) - Patrick Jordan
Using it and loving it, best of all is the price, free! - Jason
30 min and out defeats the whole purpose. Will stick with Beejive - Steve Sill from iPhone
I have push working and it's great plus you can't beat free! I thought Beejive was taken off the AppStore? - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕ from iPhone
Nope Beejive is still there, I just checked. While free is nice (most apps I use are free) working for more than 30 min is better. - Steve Sill
