My Free iPhone / iPod Touch

The Missing Sync for iPhone (by mark/space) has been released. It will cost you $39.95, but will help you migrate from an old (supported) device (like Blackberry, Palm OS, or Windows Mobile) to your new iPhone. It will also store a copy of all of your call logs and SMS text messages (to beat the 1,000 message limit on the iPhone). The Missing Sync will also transfer notes from your iPhone for you, and you can organize them.

This looks like a great application for users who need to transfer those thousands of contacts, calendar items, photos etc from their existing smartphone to their new iPhone. If you are one of these users, I suggest checking The Missing Sync out.

Apple released firmware version 1.1.2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This release comes just before the UK launch of the iPhone. This update weighs in at a hefty 160 MBs. I haven’t installed the update yet, but I will once I get home. Here are some notes from MacNN about this update:

• brings support for Language, Keyboards, Asian Font, and Region Format
• turning on multiple keyboards places globe key on the left of the space bar to allow users to cycle through various keyboards
• no search functionality in mail (yet)
• no direct support for Google IMAP accounts (still have to bypass the Gmail setup)
• no support for sending SMS to multiple recipients
• using AppSnap for “jailbreak” no longer works
• Apple’s own documentation (decompress via StuffIt Expander) has no details, just pointing users to the iPhone site, security update site, etc.
• users report the ‘Add Event’ function was added to to the iPod touch calendar application.
• the update also shows the iPod battery charge level/status from within iTunes

We’re sure the the AppTap crew will have this new version of the firmware figured out shortly (if they don’t already).
