MobileMe, the $99/year multi-feature online Apple product, has just released their long-awaited iDisk app for iPhones. The new app allows for easy viewing of online files like docs and PDFs when you’re on the go.
The app store link is here. You must be a MobileMe member to access the programs features. A basic video introduction by Apple is here.
Just yesterday, I took a shot at MobileMe, and I still think it’s like throwing your money in the toilet. Google offers all these features for FREE! Google Docs can be added to your iPhone home screen and effectively circumvent any need for another app.

Ever since I splurged and bought my iPod Touch I’ve been in love. The device has been amazing and I seem to find Wi-Fi everywhere. It’s like having a computer in pocket–the blog can even be updated through the Touch. But now I’m wondering what we’re going to see next.
Here’s a little brainstorming of ideas that I’d like to see in iPod Touch Version 3:
- Longer battery life (especially when using the new Bluetooth enabled feature)
- More powerful Wi-Fi, it seems somewhat inferior–perhaps I’m expecting more like laptop signal strength capabilities (too high an expectation?)
- Camera/Video Capable – We need to see this iPhone feature carryover to the Touch
- Faster speeds (similar to an S version of the iPod Touch)
- Better graphics (again, like the S upgrade)
- Don’t charge us for OS upgrades (just cause we can’t afford iPhone monthly bills!)
- and lastly, a Microphone (you give us a voice recorder program as part of the 3.0 OS upgrade, and we can’t use it without the awful Apple w/ Mic Earbuds).

We’re back online! For our first post in a few months, we’re going to be reviewing the Paul Frank Headphones Julius Case for the second generation iPod Touch.
I’ve always been rough with my iPods. By the time I’m finished with them, the iPod isn’t worth reselling, and I ultimately just use it to get a 10% discount from Apple by recycling it. But for the first time, I’ve decided to shell out a few bills for an iPod case.
I didn’t want to get one of those tacky plastic cases. They seem to be a monstrosity by any measure of fashion sense. Also, most seem to collect grime in between the cracks of the plastic–leaving the iPod safe, but surrounding the iPod and the user’s hands with muck.
I walked into the nearby Apple Store and immediately was caught by the Paul Frank cases. The cases were rubberized silicone, and artistic! They would quickly add a certain flare and uniqueness to my iPod.
The case easily slips on the iPod like a sock. Volume and sleep/wake buttons are covered by the case, but are given elevated, button-like places on the case. The bottom of the iPod has two connectors spots, which are thankfully uncovered. The dock connector and headphone jacks are perfectly placed.
The Paul Frank Headphones Julius Case is perfect for anybody looking for a little iPod protection, but don’t want to sacrifice on looks.
The one downside is the price tag–$29.95. Compared to other, perhaps more protective cases, the price is staggeringly high. Otherwise, this is a fantastic product–I highly recommend it!
