iPhone apps S/D

i'm getting rid of some unused apps and seeing if it has an effect.

damn it always seems to stall out at the 3/4 mark. wtf

Man it's a hoot making this work on Ubuntu.

Making what work on Ubuntu? Yer iphone?

iPod touch to be exact. Spent the last couple nights working on it, a real comedy of errors. "Oh ok, fixed that. What's this? OK got it. What?" Every step met roadblocks for some reason. Finally it turned out the FirewireGUID was wrong for some reason; I fixed that and everything started syncing perfectly.

Still no album art though.

i saw a guy with an ubuntu license plate yesterday

man you Linux newbies are a hoot

Ok, who will be first to break their iPhone?

Any good push to talk apps?

1Password for iPhone is out!

... and it sucks!

yea, what's the point if it doesn't safari sync

nyt app seems much faster on its new update

any other exciting new apps?

I'm still having a blast with 2 Across. Best five bucks I ever spent for the iPhone

I finally got a 3G compatible car charger, and now I can run my phone's headphone jack into the AUX port on my stereo. Pandora in the car = bliss.

what's 2 across?

Is there a 3G-compatible car charger with Apple Bluetooth headset charger built-in yet?

anyone tried netshare?

2 Across is a really good crossword puzzle app where you can download puzzles past and present from the WSJ, the NYT (with subscription), the Onion, thinks.com and several other places.

The one thing not explained properly is how to enter a word. If you tap twice really fast, that brings out the typewriter. You can also also customize what is revealed, checked, and what isn't at your own leisure. There. Have fun.

Just downloaded netshare - will try tonight.

seems a bit pricey

Every sudoku game reviewed

Well, short answer is it works (NetShare). A bit of a pain to set up, and not something that I would use all the time (especially since the connection dies whenever the phone goes to sleep), but good in a pinch, and FAST on 3G.

and FAST on 3G

Really? How fast? Where are you located?

NetShare's off the store here again.

Have bought that Google Reader app; is much better than NNW, and also has a stab at doing the Instapaper thing via Google notebook. Nice.

I'm in San Francisco. Not sure exactly how fast, but it felt way faster than when I tethered to my old SE EDGE phone over USB. Almost like DSL.

The frickin' store gateway is annoying. Apps that I buy can disappear? Lame.

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

(sequel to OY?)

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

It was terrible when I played it on Sega CD.

ugh someone let me know if netshare ever comes back. totally slept on it :(

What I don't understand is what happens if I sync my apps now? Does it go away?

nobody's sure, and nobody's syncing!

has anyone got the rpg VAJAYJAY?

If stuff I paid for disappears, I smell a class action suit...

^^^ erin brockovich over here

Now I know just what it feels like to get cancer from a polluting refinery.

i know i keep complaining about this but is netnewswire just COMPLETELY broken for anyone else? like, stalls out and crashes all the time, can't even scroll through feeds?

I think I'll buy an iPhone just for Shazam.

NNW is fine here.

A software update (2.0.1) is ready for downloading.

245Mb! That's TWICE my monthly work quota.

NNW fine here too. I am ADDICTED to Labyrinth.

I'm noticing overall snappiness and improved battery life with 2.0.1 but that may just be wishful thinking.

Backup don't arf take forbloodyever.

maybe i'll delete NNW and re-download it.

or maybe i have too many feeds.

can you collapse them folders yet?

i also gotta say, apple's gonna have to do something about apps that take a long time to load/download data. kinda annoying to have to keep making sure hte phone hasn't gone to sleep.

or will the push server fix that??

maybe i'll delete NNW and re-download it

twice now it's crashed on me horribly and refused to reload my feeds page (see above). the first time (v1.0) i had to remove it and re-download it; the second i just changed my username to xxxxxxx in settings.app, which forced it to reload, then went back and put my proper username back in.

it's the one app i use the most, and i'm fundamentally very happy with it. i mean, it was fucking FREE, and i now rely on it every single morning.

working a bit better but syncing is still funky.

i removed a lot of feeds from my iphone list on the newsgator website but it didn't remove them from my phone. really didn't want to click through every one to delete them on the phone itself.

also... WHY NO COLLAPSIBLE FOLDERS. WHY

For Cthulhu's sake dude, if you bothered to read any of his change notes, feature requests, and postings on the NNW support forums you'll see that IT'S IN THE WORKS. (along with my feature request which is to be able to read in landscape mode)

Brent is pretty active in posting in the NNW forums and his own support blog when he's not, you know, actually coding
