iPhone with added Tweetie, Boxcar and Vaja
I’ve had a steady stream of Tweets and photos posted via Twitter but its been a while since I’ve put anything meaningful down in the form of a blog post, how rude of me. In my defence I have been quite busy lately and the periodic Tweet is all I’ve been able to muster. That and the accessibility of Twitter especially with the new spit and polish Tweetie 2 on my iPhone. Its an all but perfect app but for push messaging and, frustratingly either by omission or my ability to find the feature, a way of automatically updating my profile location. The push gap has been filled with Boxcar which does what it says on the tin – almost. It is pushing fine from Twitter but for some strange reason refuses to push out Facebook comments. I know that it should because I have had some push messages from a stupid Facebook app that was leaving messages in my notifications area. I was quite hoping I could get comments pushed as I often don’t see them till I’ve been sent an email (I don’t check Facebook regularly and my Facebook status come from a link to Twitter) and that’s usually quite a time after the comments been left. Of course everyone who keeps leaving comments should just learn to reply to me on Twitter. Note to self, Tweet that last bit to Facebook so they know.
In other iPhone news Jayne poured milk in her 3G (don’t ask) so now she’s back on the 2G which stuffs my plans up as she will want the upgrade due Jan/Feb on the original contract. She’s already dropped comment about how nice a white iPhone would be. The upshot is that I have to be even more precious with my 3GS. I am doing everything I can to the extent that its lovingly wrapped in £50 worth of finest Argentinean leather courtesy of a Vaja case. If you’ve yet to see the Vaja cases they are well worth a look if even just through curiosity. They can be fully customised when you order although you will find that some of them end up in three figures. Mine is black outside and red inside (of course) although I really fancy a yellow one with two yellow stripes – very Kill Bill.
