In previous episodes we’ve seen how our intrepid (Apple) customer service reps have battled malfunctioning iPod Nanos and Macbook Pros, overcoming obstacles to please their ever needy customers (Aaron and I). In this installment we’ll face them with a new problem. What happens when you take the touch out of an iPod Touch? Find out after the jump. (more…)

Hijinks Reviews: MPG
Pros: Practical application with an easy to use interface.
Cons: Lacking in the features department right now. We’re looking forward to 1.1.
Developer: Catamount Software (www.catamount.com)
Version Reviewed: 1.0.3
Platform: iPhone and iPod Touch
If you have a drivers license, you’re probably painfully aware of the price you pay every time you fill up your tank. Catamount Software can’t solve the world’s energy crisis, but they at least offer a way to keep track of it all. MPG is an app that allows you to keep track of your fuel and service expense for multiple vehicles. True to its name it keeps track of your miles per gallon and updates the number every time you fill up. More after the jump. (more…)

Skyhook Shows No Love
On the 12th of April I’d posted on how to submit your AP to Skyhook Wireless (the folks behind the iPod touch/iPhone’s ability to plot your location based off available APs). Well, 18 days later and still no sign of being added to their database.
I feel so cheated… Okay, not really.

Shame On Facebook
After posting on how to run Facebook Chat from your Firefox sidebar, I got to thinking about the other potential usages of popout.php. More specifically, using it as a browser based chat client on the iPhone. Sadly though, Facebook has neglected to allow iPhone/iPod touch users the ability to run Facebook Chat from Mobile Safari. Lame!
Anyhow, with my limited programming skills I’m toying with a way around this, but don’t expect any miracles since I don’t really plan on using Facebook Chat all that often.
