Logitech's free Touch Mouse app turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a keyboard and trackpad for your computer
Touch Mouse [iTunes link] is a free iPhone / iPod Touch application from Logitech that turns your iDevice into a wireless keyboard and trackpad for your Windows or Macintosh computer. It's not a remote control application, so you don't get a view of the computer's screen; you simply get an alternative way to control the mouse pointer and keyboard. Touch Mouse works by relying on a small server ...

Opened Cydia on your jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone today? If so, you probably noticed an item on the front page about PrivaCy "Opt-Out." Recently there's been a lot of talk about app developers like Pinch Media harvesting analytics from users of their applications. There are plenty of good reasons for them to do this -- such as learning how to make their applications better. Still, some people ...
Sure, plugging in your iPhone or Touch gives you access to its DCIM folder, but that's pretty much where the easy file management ends. For more complete access, grab TouchDrive - it's a handy, unobtrusive way to manage your files. Once installed, you'll be able to access just about anything on your device like any other folder on your Windows system. No jailbreaking is required, though the .Net ...
I've been using the LastPass bookmarklet for a while now to securely access my password vault from my iPod Touch. It gets the job done, and it's certainly much easier than re-entering all my passwords into Safari.
Yesterday, I received an email from LastPass' Joe Siegrist with some exciting news: they've been quietly working on an iPhone app, and were ready to let me take it for a test drive. So ...
You probably know that installing a copy of the new iPhone 3.0 firmware that you grabbed off a torrent site is illegal, but you should also know that it's a royal pain in the butt. Users on iPhone forums are discovering the hard way that a copy of 3.0 is no good unless you're a registered developer, so it can be unlocked on your device. Otherwise you're in for a world of hurt, with hacky ...
There are all kinds of fancy modern things that you can do with your iPhone, including all the techno-superhero things Jay covered in his post.

Fortune [iTunes link] - Ever wish you could tap into the wisdom ...
Looking for a way to print images from your iPod Touch or iPhone without having to transfer them to your computer first? Air Photo is just what you need. There are two components to Air Photo: the server (a free download and runs on both Windows and Mac) and the client app, which you'll find on the App Store (just search for air photo). In a single-server setup, the app will automatically connect ...
The iPhone App Store may be filled with games, productivity apps, and umm... other utilities. But up until recently there was one thing that you couldn't find in the App Store: web browsers that would compete with the Safari browser that comes with the phone. But over hte past day, at least four alternative web browsers have shown up with prices ranging from free to about $2. The browsers add ...
When you back up your iPhone or iPod Touch, iTunes can use the backup to do a restore, but not much else. It's nice when Apple's stuff "just works," but what if you want to see inside the black box and interact with the data on your phone? This is especially important for developers, who can fix bugs a lot more easily if they can look at a user's backup to figure out what's causing problems with ...
One of the first things that iPhone and iPod Touch users noticed was the lack of a built-in "disk mode," where your device would appear on the desktop as a drive that you could use for file storage. Other iPod models even had a setting to specify how much of their storage space should be used for music, and how much should be used for disk mode, but the latest and greatest ones didn't. But thanks ...
