Tuesday Tech Talk #15

Ok a couple of days delayed but here is this weeks installment of Triple T (Thursday still starts with T).

iHome iP88

I have found what I want for Christmas! The iHome iP88 has what I am looking for, an alarm clock with the ability to charge my iPhone and iPod overnight and wake up to whatever I want it to music on the iPod, AM/FM or have it on am FM frequency that transmits by SiriusXM radio to.

iPhone OS Update

iPhone OS 3.2.1 is out today. It has some bug fixes to it mostly and also a carrier update from AT&T (5.6).

Here are the fixes as stated by Apple:

This update contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

- Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep
- Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart
- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming
AT&T gives the thumbs up to VoIP apps

Finally! Oh but it has to be a 3G network which means since I’m still on EDGE in Tupelo I still can’t use it. Guess we will finally see the Google Voice app in the iTunes Store now.

This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps

Ping - Tried this one this week. Basically it’s like IM’ing or SMS without having to worry about logouts. Just setup a quick user account and get in touch with friends. I’ve been talking to my good friend Jeremy on it so far. It’s really cool and basic and as far as I can tell there seems to be no character limit like SMS or Twitter.

Really that is the only app I have tried out new this week. See you next week on another edition of Triple T.
