We just wanted to remind everyone that our contest is still going on. If this is the first you've heard of it, you can check the details here, but the basic idea is pretty simple. Post something (of substance) in our forums and you'll be entered into the drawing for a free 16GB iPhone 3G on us. Every new post counts as another entry and increases your chance of winning. The contest ends on July 16th at midnight, so rock on and happy posting!

Still looking for somewhere to get rid of your first-generation iPhone? eBay is a good option, but as the iPhone 3G launch gets nearer, more are likely to go up for sale and drive prices down. Another alternative you might want to consider is Flipswap. They offer cash for phones, and will even pay for shipping. Once they get it, they'll put it back into use.

We just got tipped off about another application that will be heading to the App Store. It's called WhatTasks, and it's a To-Do/ GTD application for the iPhone and iPod touch. So far this is the first true native GTD application that we've actually seen a decent overview of, and based on that, it looks very cool. WhatTasks is intended to help you keep track of the three basic principles of GTD philosophy: what you need to do, when you need to do it, and where it needs to be done.
