Tweetie 2.1 for iPhone released – with support for lists, geotagging, gap detection

Loren Brichter, who has developed Tweetie is one of those developers who have hit the jackpot and got rich thanks to iPhone. Most of such developers are “one-trick-pony” and cannot reproduce hits after the first time. It looks like Loren is trying hard to keep his Tweetie Twitter client on top by releasing new Twitter features very quickly after they were introduced by Twitter.

Of course support for Twitter lists is our favorite new feature of Tweetie 2.1:

… but gap detection comes close as second most favorite:

iPhone 3GS Supreme arrives

With the iPhone 3G S no longer exclusive to certain carriers and the iPhone 3G plummeting to an all-time low sub-$100 price, what once was considered as the phone for the rich and famous is now as common as the next touchscreen mobile phone.

However, if you still have a love affair with the iPhone and want to truly set yourself apart from the rest of the iPhone-toting crowd, then we’ve got the answer for you – the iPhone 3G S Supreme. This iPhone boasts of 271 grams of 22ct solid gold and the front bezel is adorned with 136 flawless diamonds which amounts to a total of 68 cts. The Apple logo on the back is also in solid gold and further accentuated with the use of 53 flawless diamonds (1ct). The home button, meanwhile, is highlighted with a single cut and very rare 7.1 cts diamond. This very opulent iPhone designed by Stuart Hughes also comes with an extra special packaging. It ships in a 7kg chest made out of a single block of Granite in Kashmir Gold and its inside is lined with Nubuck top grain leather. Interested? The iPhone 3G S Supreme costs $3.2 million which basically means if you’re not earning as much as Manny Pacquiao or Tiger Woods, this iPhone is way out of your league.

Android on the Treo 650

Here’s a bit of fin from Youtube, a Palm Treo 650 running Android. Google has always claimed that Android can run on pretty much anything and here’s proof of that. My fondness for this device is extreme and I would love to be able to breath new life into it. Provided drivers can be made available for it.

SPB Software, a leading maker of mobile applications, announces the release of SPB Time 3.0, a major update to the best-selling Windows Mobile time toolset. The updated version offers a completely new, reconsidered user interface and significantly improved alarm features. SPB Time 3.0 provides user with three different types of alarms to fit any needs. Paranoid alarm is designed to wake up deep sleepers while Bio alarm does its job in a very gentle way.

A lot of features were reworked in the design aspect. For example, "World Time" feature is presented as a realistic looking 3D model of the Earth with chosen cities designated as spots on the surface. Countdown screen is supplemented with a picture of sandglass where the sand pours out as time goes. The splendour of these interface solutions are accompanied by a vast choice of skins in an online catalog.
SPB Time 3.0 is also one of the company’s Windows Mobile applications that is able to make use of SPB Mobile Shell’s widget system. Four widgets are available for those who already have Mobile Shell version 3.5.1 and higher: City Time, Moon Phase, Next Alarm and Stop Watch.
