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.

Featured iPhone Wallpaper: Broccoli In Space

July 28, 2010

Let’s see … what do we say about this one?  It’s broccoli.  And it’s in space.  Yeah, it’s broccoli in space – as wallpaper.  A tad unconventional perhaps – but if you’re after a wallpaper for your iPhone that stands out, I’m thinking this guy works. 
It’s by Tim Lahan, via the excellent Poolga.com [...]

July 27, 2010

The App Store has added some new sections to its Featured area, that should help with app discovery.
There is now an App of the Week (bet that is a bonanza for the lucky devs whose app is selected), a Newsstand section full of good choices for news hounds like me, an Apps for [...]

QuickReply 1.6.3: still not working for me on iOS 4 [Jailbreak]

July 27, 2010

QuickReply for SMS ($2.99 on Rock, review here) is a great jailbreak app for responding to texts without having to leave your current app. Version 1.6.3 added support for iOS 4 at no extra charge, but it just hasn’t been working out for me so far. I’m able to see and bring up text messages, [...]

Amp Music Player 2.2 for iPhone: LyricWiki integration

July 27, 2010

Just to be clear: the LyricWiki integration is a live look-up for the lyrics of the currently playing song. It won’t save any metadata to your songs (I wish!), and the lyrics aren’t displayed within the Amp’s UI, but on a separate in-app browser page. However, this little extra feature does make Amp feel like [...]
