Unlucky Thief Steals iPhone Used in GPS Tracking Tests - PCWorld. In perhaps what was one of the unluckiest moves of his career as a petty thief, Horatio Toure stole an iPhone on Monday afternoon. The irony? The iPhone Toure stole was being used to demonstrate a program that tracks GPS location in real-time--it took the police all of ten minutes to pin down his exact location and arrest him. Thirty-one year-old Toure, a resident of San Francisco, was riding his bicycle down a street in the South of Market (SoMA) neighborhood when he happened upon a young woman with a loose grip on her iPhone.
He rode his bicycle up next to her, snatched the iPhone out of her hands (perhaps she was holding it loosely in order to retain full reception?) , and rode away. Unfortunately for Toure, the young woman happened to be Jordan Sturm, an assistant at Covia Labs of Mountain View--a company that designs communications technology. David Kahn, CEO of Covia Labs, was but minutes away from Sturm, in Suddenly, it appeared as though Sturm was hightailing it down the road. Firefox Home App: A Good Idea that Could be Better - PCWorld.
Firefox's Home App for iPhone has opened my eyes to a world where desktop and mobile web browsing become one, but we're not quite there yet. The neat thing about Firefox Home is that it syncs browser tabs, not just bookmarks, from a PC to an iPhone. Mozilla released the iPhone app on Friday. To use it, you'll also have to install the Firefox Sync add-on to your PC and create an account, and you have to make sure to click "Sync Now" under Firefox's tools tab before you hit the road. Being able to pick up on the iPhone where I left off on the PC is one of those ideas that suddenly seems long overdue. I'm the kind of Internet user who amasses a semi-organized maze of windows and tabs as my browsing session goes on, and Firefox Home displays links in a simple list.
If you prefer a different browser, another app called Xmarks also syncs from PC to iPhone, and it works in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. YouTube Mobile Rocks: And 6 More Great Mobile Web Apps - PCWorld. Whenever a great Web app comes along, like YouTube's revamped mobile site, it's amusing to glance in Cupertino's direction and wonder if Apple's worried. After all, the company's got a good thing going with the App Store, and any polished Web app that lives outside the walled garden could be considered a threat. Truth is, Apple doesn't openly show fear of Web apps. In fact, Apple's Website embraces the concept with an entire section of Web-based games and tools. But most of them aren't very good, and there are less than 5000 to choose from, while the App Store is approaching 300,000 apps.
Nonetheless, I've surveyed the scene for some of the best iPhone Web apps around. Google Voice No list of iPhone web apps would be complete without Google Voice. Facebook Am I the only one that doesn't like the bloated presentation of Facebook's native iPhone app? Checklist The App Store is loaded with to-do applications, but the Checklist Web app is simple and free, with offline support and no ads.
