Use GrandCentral to keep a US number

I have friends in Canada who have been using this service so that they can have a US number. It seems to work great for that.

iphone- styletap

Styletap posted their video on youtube on Thursday. This is what TUAW says about styletap today

StyleTap produces software for Windows Mobile devices that allows them to run Palm OS applications. Now they've apparently produced an experimental build of the CrossPlatform Palm emulator for the iPhone / iPod touch, as you can see above. StyleTap makes clear that this is "NOT a product, nor is its presence here a commitment of any kind, express or implied, that StyleTap Inc. will ever release an official version of StyleTap CrossPlatform for Apple iPhone or iPod touch." In other words -- don't ask for a copy, no it's not in beta, and you can't have it. Nonetheless, this proof of concept is quite intriguing. So the question is: would you like to be able to run Palm apps on your iPhone or iPod touch?

I guess we will all just have to sit and wait.

Another silly quiz

marware is an eyesore

Marware is making this "sidewinder" for your iphone headset. Personally, I hate it. I love that my iphone slips in my pocket and looks so sleek and sexy. I can't believe i called the phone sexy.... The sidewinder is a nerdification, like a basket on a racing bike or a chinstrap on a beret. It looks awkward and takes away from the simple beauty of the phone. Thumbs down for me. I'll just stuff my headphones in my pocket like the other cool kids on the playground.
