Haven’t tried Airlock but it is the kind of simple presence setup I’ve long wanted. It runs on your Mac and detects when your iPhone/iTouch is nearby via BlueTooth. You can setup actions such as unlock, log into IM and other actions. I hope it can set IM presence. It works because I always take my mobile with me when I leave my office desk.

I like the look of the Boxee Beta UI changes.

Precorder is video recording for your Palm Pre. Alpha software but it works.

Just unlocked and jailbreaked my old iPhone 3G with 3.1.2. using Blackra1n. Amazingly easy and straightforward bit of software that. Now have my O2 iPhone 3G working with a free Meteor SIM.

An open-source Linux client for Skype is going to be important. Skype in Ubuntu, Skype on your TV, Skype in your car, Skype in your doorbell, Skype in business cards.

All that map, street-view, traffic, business etc. data Google has been amassing just became useful in your car with an Android device. Going to be painful for Garmin and TomTom. They may be superior but Google’s take will be Good Enough for many, many people. And you can build on it any way you want.

Since my Palm Pre won’t sync with iTunes on my Mac I’ve had to find an alternative. You can drag and drop music files in USB mode which actually works pretty well. But it isn’t real synchronisation. Salling Media Sync does a good job. Free or you can pay for a version that speeds the sync up.

Sunday Business Post covers the Munster Express iPhone app. that my team at the TSSG put together. I don’t remember there being any technical glitches at launch though. It is a simple app. and worked fine from the start.

In-App purchasing for iPhone/iTouch apps is now available to free apps. Good move.

The “MiniMap” in the Sublime Text text-editor looks very useful. TextMate, lets have that please.
