    Last week we reported that OpenClip  would be a simple solution for copy & paste on the iPhone. We found out this week, that the idea almost ruined, not the developers fault, but Apple’s. 

    I love looking for awesome apps for the iPhone. PearPad  by PearWorks  is just one of those applications. It turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a trackpad. It costs $3.99 and is available on the AppStore. The free computer software for it can be found here. 

    The iPhone 3G Dock Station  is the most beautiful looking dock that I have ever seen. It can be hooked up to your computer to sync, or a TV and home stereo to listen to music and play video.
    Bloomberg accidentally  published a 17-page obituary for Steve Jobs. Gawker has gotten their hands of it.

    People say that August is a slow news month for Apple, and the business world in General. Today’s show is completely iPhone and iPod centric. 

    Apple sent out  another update for the iPhone and iPod Touch. 2.0.2 provides bug fixes for the 3G Network (on the iPhone). Users have been complaining about bad reception, and supposedly, this fixes it. In addition to bug fixes, the transition from list view to CoverFlow in the ‘iPod’ section has slightly changed. 

    Cali and Neal at GeekBrief.TV broke  an iPhone story that is truly amazing. Zac White, a developer created an open-source framework called OpenClip. With open clip, we can finally do copy and paste for the iPhone! Take a look at this video. Its important to realize that you DO NOT need a jailbroken iPhone! Now we must wait for developers to actually implement it in their apps! (Cali had a pre-release version). 
    Rumors, rumors rumors. We can never know if they are right. Apple always holds an iPod event sometime in September, and we quicky go over some rumors. They include iTunes Unlimited, A Zune-like Nano and a $199 iPod touch.  

    We take a look back into episodes #35 and #27 to see two rumors that turned out true! 
    A select few first-generation iPod nano owners experienced over-heating (which caused fires) with their iPods. Apple has vowed  to replace any over-heating iPod at no charge.

    After a rocky month, MobileMe subscribers get an additional 60-days added at no cost.

    I am safely back home from the 3,000 mile roadtrip where the wonderful people at GeekBrief  somehow inspired me to change up the format of the show (don’t worry, only slightly!). 

    On Wednesday, Best Buy announced  that it would begin selling the iPhone 3G at 970 of their stores in September. The move comes just a week after Best Buy completed transitioning all of their stores to be equipped with a new mobile center. 

    I always knew that the AppStore would be a great success. Steve Jobs confirmed  my suspicions in Monday’s Wall Street Journal. In the first 30 days, nearly 60 million apps have been downloaded, garnering in almost $30 million dollars for developers. One of the most popular applications, Super-Monkey-Ball saw 300,000 downloads in only the first 20 days. 

    I go to a Mac laptop school, and one thing that I hate is when students disturb the class by getting up and plugging their laptop in. The Oncore 6 Bay MacBook and iBook charger  may be a perfect solution. It can hold up to 6 batteries at a time, but only charge 3 simultaneously. Sorry folks, no MacBookPro support at this time. It costs $395. 

    Australia and New Zealand now have more content to enjoy on the iTunes Store. Movies are now available  to rent and purchase on the iTunes Store.

    Apple releases the first update to its new 2.0 software for the iPhone and iPod Touch. 2.0.1 address issues like a long backup process, slow keyboards and crashing apps. 

    NetShare was an application on the AppStore that took the iPhone’s internet connection and turned it into a WiFi signal for use on a computer. 

    The iPhone 3G will be available in about 20 more countries on August 22. 

    New Cinema displays for MacWorld? 

    Thank you Cali and Neal from GeekBrief for letting me help out and using your set!
