Patrick took a look at Moodagent back in January, but the app has seen a fairly major update since then. There are two separate Moodagent apps now, although the only difference between them is that one is ad-supported, and the other is not. I used the free version of the app for over a month before receiving a promo code for this quick re-review, and I can honestly say that the difference isn’t all that noticeable.
The more notable differences between Moodagent 1.x and 2.x are social networking integration and some seriously detailed playlist management.

We live in the information age. But what do we do when our tiny brains have reached their maximum capacity for remembering passwords, pin codes, website info, account numbers, and any other private information? (After all, there were only seven dwarfs — so I’m very close to running out of ideas for new passwords.)
Well, if you’ve reached that breaking point too, maybe it’s time to look into a password manager that lets you gather all your private information under the umbrella of one master password.
There are plenty of iPhone-based choices out there but the oldest and perhaps most venerable one, Strip – Password Manager, has some great features that drew me to it.

The Backgrounder svnr513-1 beta by Lance Fetters (@ashikase) has a pretty neat new feature that helps you specify whether to background an app in jailbreak style, multitask the way Apple does it, or promptly kill an app when you press the Home button. I’ve even read on Ashikase’s Twitter account that the most current beta (which I can’t seem to find) can force apps that aren’t iOS 4 Fast App Switching compatible to become, well, Fast App Switching compatible. But that’s neither here nor there.
What I want to focus on is the neat Overrides list that has always been in Backgrounder.

I received the
iSkin Enigma in the mail for review not two days ago, but I’m already thoroughly impressed by the quality. It’s just a
little bit on the bling-y side with all the chrome on the front, but the white leather on the back is quite classy, and the fit is absolutely superb. The cut-out for the camera lens is absolutely dead-on as well.
Most people (myself included) probably don’t have the extra $100 to purchase the Enigma, but it should be quite an interesting alternative to Vaja and other high-end case makers. Look for a full review in the coming weeks.
MyWi 4.0, the jailbreak app that turns your iPhone into a glorious WiFi access point, was updated a little while ago with a few major improvements and a major price increase to go along with it. The app has also been split into two products: the older MyWi, and the iOS 4-compatible MyWi 4.0.
I can’t guarantee that it’s a good way to work around tethering plan costs on your phone plan, but MyWi 4.0 is a very convenient, if initially expensive, way to use your iPhone data plan the way you want to.
