The guys at Mailcurve (a great email filtering app for the iPhone, which I posted about here) have contacted me, to tell me about the success they are having:
On the 7th we were listed, and made a Staff Pick, on the Apple.com web Apps site…
http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/mailcurve.html
… And have been the most popular productivity app there since.
We've had folks signing up from all over the world since then, and gotten great responses. We're very grateful for the recognition from Apple.
Check out their service; it's a neat little concept, which if we believe the feedback from the Apple site (a pretty good indicator I'd say!), is very popular indeed!

Place-shifting TV programs never had it so good. Sling has announced that they'll be releasing an updated version of their SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile devices this Spring. WinMo fans rocking a SlingBox at home and SlingPlayer Mobile on their handset can look forward to optimization for newer Windows Mobile devices (both touchscreen and non-touchscreen).
Sling will also be optimizing their Nokia N95 8GB client and has plans to bring the SlingPlayer Mobile to UIQ.
Most interesting is Sling's mention of the possibility of bringing SlingPlayer Mobile to the iPhone. We've heard rumblings of SlingPlayer coming to the iPhone, but this announcement makes the possibility all the more credible. Now, streaming a SlingBox's feed over an EDGE network is possible (the video stream is automatically adjusted depending on the available bandwidth), but it would be an injustice to the iPhone's beautiful display to watch TV in low-res. Of course, the more pressing problem is Sling's use of a WMV video feed instead of the H.264 encoding that iPhones love so much. Let's hope both those problems get worked out soon.
Hey, Sling, give us iPhone owners any kind of Sling-support and we'll be happy. We'll deal with low-res TV feeds for now - until Apple gets real with the 3G iPhone, that is.

Apple has not been content to categorize their iPhone as a mere telephone. From the start of the product’s launch, they have attempted to go as far as they could in “revolutionizing” the mobile phone market. Now, with the release of an iPhone SDK, they are attempting to turn the iPhone into an Enterprise platform of sorts.
Several experts are debating how much of an impact their recent moves will have.
Sacconaghi said the SDK is “critical to Apple’s maintaining the iPhone’s [ market] positioning,” but that it won’t necessarily make the iPhone more attractive to enterprise users.
“We note that many mobile enterprise applications likely to be available on the iPhone (such as Salesforce.com) are already available for other wireless devices,” he wrote.
However, Andy Hargreaves, of Pacific Crest Securities, said the iPhone should attract new developers to Apple’s technology platforms, and “will likely be the first Apple device for millions of corporate users, and positive impressions could drive stronger demand for Macs over time.”
Hargreaves estimates that the addition of the SDK and ActiveSync support will, over the next year, drive 5 million iPhone sales to corporate customers.
A large measure of what needs to happen for iPhone relates to the acceptance of the iPhone at the enterprise level. Whether that will happen or not remains to be seen.

Apple's first foray into the mobile space has been a terrific success. And, not just as the company's first-ever handset offering, the iPhone has succeeded in an entrenched and competitive handset market.
Still, Apple's a bit of a one-trick pony with their iPhone. They've only got one form-factor with one model (different storage capacities notwithstanding). So, what could Cupertino do to throw some variety into the mix? Make an iPhone Flip, of course.
The latest patent application to surface at the USPTO indicates that Apple is at least considering a flip-phone form-factor for their iPhone. Entitled, "Dual sided trackpad," the patent application describes a method whereby a device's capacitance touch sensor panel and display panel are located on separate halves of the flip. The upper portion serves as a display, which isn't really innovative. But, and here's the innovative part, the lower portion of the flip is a transparent touchpad with dual-sided capacitance touch technology. Unwired View's Photoshop rendering shows off this idea beautifully.
What does that mean exactly? Well, imagine being able to view the device's main display with the flip closed - being translucent, the lower flip doesn't obscure the display. And, the dual-sided capacitance touch flip works while in the closed position (overlayed on the display).
Then imagine that you've got the flip open. The dual-sided nature of the flip allows for an entirely new world of multi-touch gestures - the front side of the flip could be used for certain inputs in tandem with the back side of the flip. Or, maybe you want to "draw" the phone number onto the flip. That would work too. Of course, the flip will still function as a standard numeric keypad.
The possibilities are endless, especially for laptop trackpads and tablet computers. But, it all hinges on Apple's decision to go forward with the tech in this patent application. And iPhone Nano with this dual-sided trackpad technology would probably do quite well among those potential iPhone users that really want a smaller form-factor, not to mention those that just want a clamshell. Fingers crossed…

being, featuring Princess cut diamonds liberally sprinkled all over its surface to give that lovely sparkle women love to show off. With a total of 318 diamonds in all (where 138 of them have been given the Princess cut treatment), the iPhone Princess Pluss (yes, that’s what it is called) will retail for a stunning €120,000. If you happen to not have that much money in your bank account, there is the more modest brilliant-cut diamonds only edition at €45,000 a pop.
