The next one is NemusSync. This one sounds very cool - it “synchronizes your iPhone's calendar application with your Google Calendar account”.
Following on from that is OrbLive. Providing you have the Orb software loaded onto your computer at home, OrbLive “streams virtually any digital content—including live TV—from your home computer to your iPhone or iPod touch”.
The SIP-VoIP app lets you make VoIP Internet phone calls over your iPod Touch or iPhone Wi-Fi connection, although you’ll need to get some kind of microphone add-on for the iPod Touch before it will ever work as a phone.
Sketches is like an Etch-a-Sketch for your iPhone and has been massively improved over the last year – it’s a shame Apple didn’t include something like this in the iPhone or iPod Touch from the get-go, but then that’s why third party software is so useful and important!
Lifehacker says the next one is called StreetFlow, which takes advantage of your iPhone's faux-GPS feature to find good restaurants near to your current location. How useful this will be outside the us, or even how it works outside the US, is as yet unknown, I haven’t had the chance to try it out.
The next one I’ve gotta try – it’s called Touchpad Pro, and Lifehacker says it “turns your iPhone into a multi-touch mouse, similar to a laptop's trackpad”. But does it work with Windows? And does it blend?
Well, no. How can you blend software? You can blend the USB or CD it might come on. But bits and bytes in electronic form... are unblendable. As for working with Windows... don’t know yet. You’re welcome to try it out, jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch users, and let us know.
One very nifty sounding piece of software is called TuneWiki. This, says LifeHacker, “turns your iPhone into the ultimate mobile karaoke machine—or, if you don't like karaoke, the ultimate lyrics-fetching tool.”
What else can you try – and what does it all mean when the official App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch is launched? Please read on to page 3.
