Investing Strategies for iPhone Customers –

Khoi Vinh:

Take a look at the price of Apple stock over the past year, and note that the value of my iPhone is now way less than just one share of AAPL.

So does that make the Stocks app on the iPhone like lemon juice on an open wound?

Hahlo 3 –

Hahlo has always been my iPhone Twitter client of choice. On my way to work yesterday I discovered that version 3 is out, and it’s very slick. Nice work, Dean.

The Coming Gold Rush –

Brent Simmons shares his thoughts on iPhone app development.

I don’t know about you guys, but I have been having a blast reading articles by many of the most fantastic indie Mac developers as they share their thoughts about this new frontier.

It’s the Software, Stupid –

Brett touches on exactly how I felt yesterday after watching the application demos at the SDK announcement:

And all this will be available to the entire installed iPhone base. No one gets left out. You do not have to buy another $500 device to get a few new features if you have an old model — just get the new software. […]

This seems so simple. But in the phone industry, this is revolutionary.

After watching the apps get demonstrated I had this “my iPhone is a sleeper agent” sort of feeling. Realizing there is way more under the hood which I, as a user, haven’t fully had the chance to experience yet. And, like Brett says, I don’t have to buy another $500 phone.

The first version of the iPhone may very well be the greatest 1.0 gadget released in history.

Weather Underground has a very nice, iPhone optimized webpage. You can find out humidity, dew point, visibility, sunrise, sunset, detailed forecasts and warnings. It even has the large iPhone “slider buttons” for some of the settings such as animating the radar.

Another smart element is the #id links at the top of each section: “Current”, “Radar”, “Forecast” and “Warnings”. Not only can you can skip around between the sections, but each perspective’s section is identified by their title being in yellow (even if you scroll down to it).

I usually just use the Yahoo weather widget to check what the temperature will be and if I can wear flip-flops or not. But I’m adding this to my home screen for when I ever want to check anything more than just temperature.

Override Lame WebClip Icons –

Smart little workaround by Matt to avoid lame WebClip Icons on your iPhone. I imagine that all this hububb about WebClip Icons will be mute in a very short time. But so goes the blogosphere, eh?

Mint WebClip Icon –

Most people have Mint in a subdirectory like /mint. This is a problem if you want to set an iPhone favicon for your root domain, but change the favicon in subdirectories because the iPhone looks in the root directory for the favicon.

A joint effort over Twitter between Cameron and I to hack Mint to display the Mint Icon on your iPhone instead of a picture of your Mint page or the default WebClip you have uploaded to your root directory.

By “hack” I mean slightly edit, and by “joint effort” I mean I resized the 3 different colored Mint Icons to 57×57, and Cameron figured out the edit and wrote the tutorial.

UPDATE: If you’re still stuck with your site’s root folder’s WebClip try “Red X-ing” out of your Mint browser window, restarting your iPhone and then re-navigating to your Mint install.
