Finally the wordpress app for iPhone is out today. I was waiting for this app to be released since I heard about this in Steve’s keynote. Well it’s here now and I intend to explore all features of this app. Testing the post with a photo from my library.

I know monday morning blues… is there a friday morning blues !! Well it happened to me today. This morning when I woke up, I was greeted by a message in my iTunes with something like this..

The “Technology Early Adopter” part of me immediately wanted to try it. I clicked the Download and Install button. iTunes got into action immediately by downloading the iPhone OS 2.0 (About 214Mb), and backed up my current settings and installed the new version. However, when time came to activate the phone with this new software, guess what shows up.. ” AN UNKNOWN ERROR”.  uh OH….

I had to call up iPhone support to confirm that its actually iTunes server issue rather than mine. Digged up google and found there were fellow iPhone owners facing the same issue. Gave me a  sigh of relief. 

So now I am carrying a bricked iPhone and have to wait until evening when I get back home to see if iTunes server is up and activating.. Feel bad that Apple chose a wrong day to release both iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0.

Like me, many of us cannot live a day without using atleast one of Google’s products. What surprises me is that, half their products are in Beta and still the usability part of those products are great. I have been one of the first adopters to many of Google Labs products. One such thing was Browser Sync.

I loved the idea to keep my bookmarks and browser history sync’d across computers. I might be researching on something during the end-of-day work hours and would absolutely love to go home, fire up the browser to see the same page open up for me.

Ever since, Mozilla foundation started rolling out the betas and release candidates for Firefox 3, Browser sync started seeing its end of days.. It was not supported for FF3. I waited until Firefox3 was officially released few weeks ago, so that I could check if Google was going to update the plugin. Well Google thought otherwise. I then jumped on to Foxmarks as my next alternative to keep my bookmarks synced.

Today, Slashdot told me that Google’s Browsersync is now opensourced. I am glad that Google did this and appreciate them for that. I for one definitely like to browse the source for this nifty plugin and keep my fingers crossed for someone to expand this with other neat features and support for future browsers.

Google’s Browser Sync Source &  Blog Post about the opensource. Time to code crunch ;-)

While this day started out to be a lazy one, I was greeted with a wonderful message from the Google Reader. Yes I spend my brushing time with Google Reader in the morning ;-). To my surprise, I saw GTalk released for IPhone. whooo whoo ! Just go to www.google.com/talk from your iPhone browser or you can go to http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/talk/ and enter your phone number for Google to send you a link to your Iphone via SMS.

I tested this out immediately with my iPhone, and what a pleasant surprise ! Loaded up beautifully and worked like a charm. Bringing GTalk to iPhone was one of the best apps that Google ported for this device. Screenshots from Google Talk here..

One more thing I liked about Google for Iphone is the icons for the home screen.. with GTalk, I got this .

Talk to you all in GTalk from iPhone..
