Twitterific is one of the well known application in the app store for Twitter on iPhone. I installed it and used it for a while until I recently found out about Hahlo, a web based mobile client for Twitter. Awesome!! When using both you do not see which one is web based!

I attended last night the 2nd Mobile Monday Switzerland hosted at EPFL. Topic was about Mobile Payment. More than fifty persons (out of 70 “subscribers” to Momo Swiss) were attending this session which is less than in other part of the world but not so bad for a 2nd edition in Switzerland. Mainly business oriented crowd, not much students (I saw only one) despite the fact that it was at EPFL.

From Wapreview: Mobile Browser Based Applications
Two requirements need to be met before browser based technologies are capable being a general replacement for applications:
1. They need to be functional offline. The ability to edit a document can’t depend on the availability of a network signal.
2. There needs to be access to core phone features like the phone book, calendar, camera and location.

I bought a new wireless router at home. working for Cisco I bought a Linksys one of course. At some point I had to choose a SSID name for my wireless network. I used my cell phone number as the SSID, thinking that if someone wants to connect he can call me and I will give out the password…
At the same time I installed Network Magic a networking tool provided by Pure Network (bought by Cisco a few months back)
Russell Beattie: The iPhone Crapp Store?
From the descriptions of most of them [read: applications], I’d say there’s a ton of unmitigated crud flowing into the App Store right now. You don’t read about it because the iPhone is all shiny and new, but with all those apps arriving daily the quality has to be really varied. Really, really varied. And with a few of the App developers making BANK to the tun of a quarter million in like two months, it’s just going to get worse. The sort of press those successes generate may not be good for Apple at all in the long run, as it appears the land-rush is on, and the scammers, spammers and other dregs of online society are closing in fast and I have serious doubts if the iTunes Store is really made to keep up.
Nokia creates Indoor Positioning:
Nokia’s keeping mum about exactly how the technology works, for now, but has said it’s based on wireless networks. The firm’s also said that the technology still needs a scalable solution to make it work and admitted that mapping the guts of each building “is quite a challenge”.
Based on wireless networks ? so you mean something like the Cisco Location Appliance but integrated on the device ? I would be curious to see how it works but it probably makes intensive used of the wireless network infrastructure…
Pierre Chappaz demande sur Twitter ce qu’on pense d’une version beta de Wikio sur iPhone: http://wikio.alterclickr.com/m/
L’interface de Wikio sur iPhone est plutôt sympa, mais le problème rencontré par Wikio est le même que celui rencontré par tous les agrégateurs de contenu lorsqu’il s’agit de développer pour les mobiles (iPhone y compris), à savoir qu’ils ne peuvent contrôler que la source vers laquelle ils renvoient est adaptée à la navigation mobile. Ceci peut avoir un effet désagréable pour l’utilisateur (sur son portemonnaie et/ou son expérience utilisateur).
Une solution consisterait peut-être à insérer une page intermédiaire qui permettrait d’avertir l’utilisateur qu’il se dirige vers un site potentiellement non adapté à la navigation mobile et/ou proposer l’utilisation d’un transcodeur pour mobile (comme Mowser, Skweezer,…).
The news is making some noise (PC World):
A new Podcasting application has been refused entry into the App Store because it “duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes,” [...] The new application called Podcaster would allow users to download podcasts on their iPhone and listen to them at their leisure. The app also streams podcasts so you could listen to your favorite show anywhere you have an Internet or data connection.
Took some time this morning to give a shot to Insqribe, a webapp that allows you to manage your QR Code.
