Posted by Adam Wyss on Jun 22, 2009 | Comments
Until now there were only a small handful of push notification apps. Well we have 3 new ones now that were designed for push: IM apps. AIM and Beejive now have their new versions live in the app store and all 3 apps support push notifications. AIM has a free and a $2.99 paid version while Beejive’s offering is a bit pricier. At the time of writing it was still on sale for $9.99 but it will go back up to $15.99 soon....
MobilityDeals: MobileMe via Amazon.com and Best Buy
Posted by Adam Wyss on Jun 22, 2009 | Comments
Now that we have a small “insurance policy” for our iDevices with the new Find My iPhone service, I think that MobileMe is a must have for anybody with an iPhone or iPod Touch. I was lucky, I picked mine up on Amazon last week for $59.99! While that deal is gone unfortunately, you can still pick up a single user license for $70.49. The only bummer is that you have to wait for them to ship you a...
MobileMe saves the day for the first time!
Posted by Adam Wyss on Jun 22, 2009 | Comments
With the new OS 3.0 release Apple added a new feature, Find my iPhone (or iPod Touch) which accesses Core Location to find out exactly where your iDevice is. Unfortunately, it requires a MobileMe subscription to be able to use it. After finding this on TUAW I was reminded why I was able to justify the $60 I paid for MobileMe.

The death of XP has been GREATLY exaggerated!
Posted by CodeBubba on Jun 21, 2009 | Comments
Looks like Microsoft has caved a bit and extended the life of XP one more time. According to this article in Computerworld, Microsoft has extended distribution of the aging O/S well into 2011 – past the point where Windows 7 will be released.
I’m a Vista user now myself but saying I upgraded it out of need is a stretch. Vista is fine (and Windows 7 shows promise) but MS had no idea how deeply entrenched...
A Film for Father’s Day
Posted by Zealot on Jun 21, 2009 | Comments
OK, I admit it, this is maudlin as hell…and I saw the payoff coming from several miles away.
Still, I imagine it has a message for many of the fathers out there in MobilityLand, as it did for me (in fact, it made me tear up like an idiot, telegraphed or no).
Happy Father’s Day to all you sons and former sons out there, young and old.

First, only 2 games per day are chosen to be featured MLB.tv At Bat games. Luckily, being a Chicago Cubs fan and my team playing the boys from the south side of Chi Town the game was picked to be the very first MLB.tv At Bat game.

AT&T Network Holding Back iPhone 3.0 Goodies That We All Want
Posted by Adam Wyss on Jun 17, 2009 | Comments
This explains it all! AT&T’s lack of MMS, tethering, all the cool stuff that international carriers already have ready even though the iPhone 3G S does not go on sale until Friday. There is one thing that I really don’t like about the mainstream media’s tech coverage is that they don’t get everything right. They say that the iPhone 3G is not HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) compatible. ...

The AT&T iPhone 3G users out there were vocal VERY VOCAL when they found out that a shiny new iPhone 3G S would cost them $100 more than their 3G did because of their early renewal.

With the release of the DataTraveler 200 (DT200), this large capacity drive will provide you the flexibility to carry virtually all your critical data in a very small form factor.
