DataCase - iPhone File Sharing Made Easy
August 27, 2008
Okay, in my humble opinon, this is the first really useful app I’ve found on the app store for the new iPhone. The DataCase app by Veiosoft adds some much needed file storage capabilities to the iPhone. I’ve heard of others out there, but have also heard lots of grumblings about the lack of features or other issuses. I spent the $6.99 on the advice of my friend and grabbed the app. I have to admit, I’m really glad I did.

iWood. Sexy cases for the iPhone and iPod
March 2, 2008
Minot is offering the iWood, custom laser engraved iPhone cases in a variety of rich woods. You can choose from oak, padouk, cherry, mahogany and walnut. They also have versions for 5th generation iPods and 2nd generation iPod Nanos.
A base price of $115 US is pretty steep, but you can pretty much bet that you’ll be the only one in the office with one of these. Add a custom stand (cut from the same piece of wood as the case) for an extra $25 then have your logo or a monogram etched on the case for another $20 and you’re up to a grand total of $160.
Some users have reported having to do a little minor trimming around the power and volume notches to get it fine tuned, but the overall impression was they iWood was a thing of beauty and that the photos don’t do it justice.

A few months after banning innovative developers from using their API to develop Amazon powered iPhone stores, Amazon itself has released a version of it’s website specifically for iPhone users. Taking into account how slow the EDGE network is, Amazon has designed the interface to load quickly when you aren’t connected via WiFi. Give it a spin by going to Amazon.com on your iPhone.

A few days have passed and we can all rest assured it is true. A video walkthrough of the latest firmware has been posted that shows off the new features of 1.1.3 and it proves that it is real. Video and photo gallery after the jump.
