    [Updatex6] – Full Review, Now Available

    For anyone reading this article currently, my full, on-going,
    review of Mobile Chat 3.0 is now available HERE

    [Updatex5] – 13.08.08 (20.05pm)

    Scratch that, the application functions over 3G and Edge too! – Although very unstable currently.

    [Updatex4] – 13.08.08 (11.31am)

    The application seems to need a persistent connection to wifi. It’s unclear as to whether the service works over Edge and/or 3G. The reason I’ve come to this conclusion is I tried to connect to the account (pictured above) and I got a ‘Cannot connect to Mobile chat’ alert message. I then switched to Wifi and my account continued to be successfully signed in through the MSN network

  • Jobs: $30M App Store Sales in first month.

    In a recent interview with Steve Jobs himself, The Wall Street Journal reports 60 million applications have been delivered to iPhone and iPod touch users, within the first month …

  • Heads Up: DataCase, has hit the App Store! – [Updatedx4]

    [Updatex4] – 13.08.08 (09.12am)

    All issues are resolved, and I can now access the remote volume from finder. For anyone experiencing these problems with DataCase, the fix was simple. Select ‘Go’ from the menus within finder, then select ‘Network’. Your remote volume(s) should now appear on the sidebar the next time you launch a finder window.

    Note: DataCase does not keep a persistant connection to your Pc/Mac, therefore DataCase is required to be open on your iPhone throughout transferring files.

    Hopefully, with the introduction of Apple’s Push Notification Service later this year, the developer of DataCase could enable Datacase to run without the application being open so that you didn’t actually have to look at the application when transferring files.

    Experiencing Problems

    This is a copy of an e-mail I’ve just sent to Veiosoft (support@veiosoft.com) after hours of trying to get the iPhone application to work with my iMac:

    Hello,

    I recently bought DataCase for iPhone. Unfortunately the iPhone does not show up in finder as a ‘shared’ device. My iMac is connected to the same home network as my iPhone, my iPhone is connected to the same home network as my iMac and although DataCase reports the IP and port openings of the shared volume, the volume(s) do not exist to be shared with my iMac. My firewall allows all incoming connections for file sharing.

    After spending £3.99 on this application, I really, really want to get this working. I chose DataCase from the App Store over the competition; ( FileMagnet, MobileFinder and Files).

    I would be very gratefully if you could get back to me on this matter as soon as possible.

    Thank you and regards,
    Arron

  • The Inevitable Review: WordPress, for iPhone.

    .

    As a blogger, the ability to blog on the move is a complete necessity. I need to be able to post something, to this blog, when I’m away from my iMac. Previous to the launch of the native WordPress application, I had to login through mobile Safari, and use that. Horrible experience.

    Now it’s much less painful, with WordPress for iPhone.

    Brief Overview
    Upon opening WordPress for iPhone, you are greeted with a list of blogs you currently have permission to edit. Each blog must be setup beforehand. This is done by tapping the blue arrow to the right of the blog name. The user is then taken to a screen were you can enter the URL of the blog you wish to edit, WordPress username and password for access permission …
