MobileMe. Let’s not quickly forget about MobileMe this WWDC! It got some pretty cool updates in my opinion. First, you can use Find my iPhone to do exactly what it says it does, find your iPhone. I would find this useful say, oh, I don’t know, if I left my iPhone at a friend’s house and they live half an hour away. I would quickly know where I left my phone without panicking and freaking out. Find my iPhone isn’t just cool for clumsy people who lose their phones, it useful if you get your phone stolen as well. Using me.com, you can send a customizable popup message and warning sounds to your iPhone to deliver a message to the thief of your precious phone. “Give my iPhone back B@#$%!!” and “This iPhone has been reported as stolen to the local authorities. Thank you for stealing Apple products!” are a few of my favorite custom messages. Along with finding your iPhone, you can even tell it to remotely wipe itself. That means it will delete everything on itself should you chose. iDisk also gets an upgrade. First, the icon changes from that horrid pink to a somewhat nicer blue. Additionally, an iDisk app is finally coming to the iPhone/iPod Touch with all the features of the online iDisk such as file sharing. Just a few more reasons to love spending that $99 a year!

Eurovision!

Starting to watch Eurovision! I know the broadcast in Australia is late, so don’t tell me who won! I invited Callum over for a mini Eurovision party.

Callum is one of the poor souls of the world who don’t own an iPhone or and iPod touch. This means he can’t tweet without a computer.

I am one of the lucky souls who have both and iPhone and an iPod touch! For his benefit, I gave him one of mine for the evening. I had to make a comment about it:

“Here, borrow my iPod touch. I just have them lying around the house now.”

I know, incredibly pretentious but I just had to say it.

Twitterrific 2 (iTunes Link) is out for the iPhone and iPod Touch! Twitterrific was my first twitter client for the desktop and the iPhone. Like many people, the lack of feature support made me leave it behind for Tweetie on both platforms. With this new sexy release, will I switch back? It’s a rhetorical question. I can’t answer it myself yet because I haven’t used it yet!
