Sync Notes Between Your iPhone or iPod Touch with iPhoneNotes [Featured Mac Download]


Mac OS X only: One conspicuously yet-to-be-implemented feature of the iPhone and iPod touch is the ability to sync notes between your computer and your device. Until Apple figures out what should be a simple feature, freeware application iPhoneNotes wirelessly syncs notes between your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch and your Mac. The set up is simple, but not obvious, and since the main site is light on documentation, hit the jump for setup details.

  1. Like I said above, you need to be running a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch to use iPhoneNotes. Lucky for you, jailbreaking takes less than a minute these days.
  2. Once you’ve jailbroken you phone, you need to install OpenSSH on your iPhone. To do so if you haven’t already, fire up Installer.app and head to the System section of the Install tab. Inside this tab, first install the BSD Subsystem package, then the OpenSSH package. Installer.app is super-simple to use if you haven’t used it before, so if this language sounds daunting, it’s really not.
  3. load-notes.pngNow you need to run iPhoneNotes to load or save notes between the two. Make sure your iPhone is connected to your wireless network, then click the Load Notes button. When the tray pops out to the side of the application, enter your OpenSSH username and pass (root -> alpine, by default). When you click Load after entering your username and password, the app should download your iPhone’s notes to your computer and display them.

At this point you should be ready to go with iPhoneNotes. The app is still young and will hopefully be improved over time, but it’s still head and shoulders above what Apple is doing for us at the moment..

10M Unit Order Could Mean 3G iPhone is on the Way


Ken Dulaney, an analyst with the well-respected Gartner firm, has been hearing some rumors from his Asian sources. According to a iPhone interview conducted with Dulaney, the iPod observer has learned that Apple may have just ordered a new round of iPhone production and this order could come to market packing the 3G network compatibility that the public has been clamoring for. Apparently Apple has recently placed a hefty 10 million unit order. If Dulaney is correct about this order, it stands to reason that this is in fact related to Apple’s next-generation handset. With the knowledge that the 3G iPhone is indeed due out this year, it wouldn’t make much sense for Apple to be ordering such a large quantity of the current model. Dulaney also goes on to speculate that Apple’s upcoming revamp will make use of OLED displays, although his sources on that matter are unclear. OLED technology would mean that the upcoming handsets could be thinner than the current model. In addition, the decreased power consumption of OLED displays would certainly help with battery life as 3G components can be quite a drain on battery life. Lack of high-speed 3G / HSDPA support is one of the biggest complaints that critics have when it comes to the iPhone, so let’s see what this news might do to appease them.

Turn Your iPhone into a LoJack with Findme [IPhone]

iphone.pngAll-things-Apple weblog TUAW details how to set up your iPhone to “phone home” with its faux-GPS location on a regular basis so you always know approximately where your phone is (particularly handy if it turns up stolen). The final setup works like this: the findme command line program (developed by former Lifehacker editor Erica Sadun) grabs your location, the results of which are sent to a private Twitter account you set up exclusively for this purpose. From start to finish this process takes some doing (it’s not a simple install-and-use), but if you’re willing to take the plunge, the results could be well worth the effort.
