Free text messaging to any mobile phone from your iphone!

A week ago txtdrop.com celebrated its 1millionth text message sent through its interface. iPhone users have helped to create this success as 500,000 of these messages have been sent in just the last 6 months since iphone was launched. Txtdrop is one of the largest providers of free text messaging service.

This is what they say they have to offer iphone users:- “TxtDrop’s new iPhone interface allows you to send free text messages from the web to any mobile phone in the United States and Canada.

How To Make Your iPhone Battery Last Longer

Considering how much bad press Apple got about it’s iPod battery after it was discovered “highly dubious”… they have unsurprisingly released a “pre emptive” guide to maintaining your iPhone battery.

Though the guide is short, it’s practical and well written. And includes a lot of things you may not have thought of which will help conserve the battery life of your iPhone.

So even if you’re a total techie, you owe it to yourself to take 3 minutes out of your day and find out the official word on the iPhone battery.

Orange lands broad iPhone distro deal too

We’ll make this brief. Orange spokesperson Therese Wenger told the SDA news agency that it has secured rights to release the iPhone (3G version, presumably) in Switzerland and more than 10 other countries — take that Swisscom! Other countries include Austria, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, and Romania. And France of course where it’s already on sale. See, that was quick and leaves room for a dozen or so other iPhone related announcements today.

New Version Of Google Reader For iPhone

After launching a new feature for desktop users, the Google Reader team is experimenting with a new version of Google Reader for iPhone users.

(Official Google Reader Blog) To make our (and your) Reader iPhone experience better, we wanted to really take advantage of the iPhone’s capabilities. Today we’re releasing a new beta version of Reader designed for the iPhone and other mobile phones with advanced browsers. You can use it by visiting http://www.google.com/reader/i/ on your phone.

This new version is designed to offer many of the same features as the desktop, while making it quick and easy to act on items. If you’ve used list view, then it should be familiar to you. Scan the titles for an item that interests you, tap and it expands in place. Starring, sharing, and keeping unread are done in place, so you never have to leave the list view or refresh the page. We think it’s a very fast way to power through your reading list.

The first thing many iPhone users will notice is that the new beta version will display 15 articles/post “snippets” instead of the usual 9, as well as the ability to see the articles/posts underneath (or above) the one that you are currently reading.

Starring the articles is also easier, as iPhone users can now actually tap the star tab next to the story, instead of trying to place their “fat fingers” on the tiny add star link at the end of the article.

iPhone users can also mark a feed as unread (on the Keep unread link), a helpful feature that is missing from the current version. Last but not least (as far as useful features go), the iPhone version recognizes YouTube video’s, and places a link instead of Safari’s “we can’t play flash video’s because we are not a real browser” image.

Unfortunately the new beta version of Google Reader loads a little slower than the previous one on Wifi which means that users on AT&T’s EDGE are going to have to display more patience than usual.

Even though users can check out the notes that they have shared, their still seems to be no way for iPhone users to share a note alongside of an article, which (in this authors opinion) makes the notes feature more like a tease (as there is no way to add anything interesting via the iPhone).

All in all, the beta is not half bad, although hopefully Google will make the iPhone version as powerful as its desktop version–not to mention roll out a similar version for other smart phones (like Black Berry’s) as well.

Apple and AT&T to launch iPhone 3G a lot sooner than we think?

Well, here’s the story. Let’s start this off by saying that we think this might be a little bit too early, but you never know with Apple. Anyways, we told y’all last year before the first iPhone launched that AT&T employees were not allowed to take vacations from June 15th to July 15th. AT&T reps just got an internal email stating that they would be unable to take vacation time from 4/15-5/15 “due to projected increased traffic and an exciting new promotion/product launch.” We’re only 10 days away from the end of that time frame and with no Apple event in the next week or so, it seems highly unlikely that a new iPhone will launch. Then again, the only other time AT&T has done this was last year before the first iPhone launched. What do y’all think? Think some Apple event invites will start getting sent out in the next couple days? Or is this way too soon?

Apple Issues Fifth Version of iPhone SDK and Firmware

We sure are getting close to the east side of that road map pictured above. Could this be the final release before the 3G iPhone makes its debut? Apple has just made a fifth version of its iPhone SDK and 2.0 version firmware available to developers. So far in terms of changes in 2.0 beta 5, the only noteworthy items we’ve heard are that DRM music is now supported again and the Contacts search feature is now available in the the simulator (and presumably the firmware). We’ll have more for you soon, no worries.

Vodafone to Bring iPhone to 10 Countries; No Exclusivity? TIM chimes in

In an announcement on Vodafone’s media relations page earlier this morning, the mega carrier let the cat out of the bag that it would be bringing the iPhone to market in ten countries later this year. Vodafone stated that it has just finalized a deal with Apple, but makes no mention of exclusivity in its announcement. Interesting. Certainly if the deal granted exclusive distribution to the carrier, it would have been mentioned. Here’s the full announcement which includes all of the countries encompassed by the new deal. Make sure you have a warm cup of coffee at hand because this read might take a while.

Vodafone today announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets around the globe. Later this year, Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey will be able to purchase the iPhone for use on the Vodafone network.

Right then. Short and to the point. “Later this year” would indicate that this deal covers the 3G iPhone in relevant markets and the lack of mention with regards to exclusivity would be right in line with what we’ve been hearing lately. Whatever the case, expect the net flurry of iPhone news to pick up pace - if that’s even possible - as we draw closer to D Day. What’s funny is that TIM in Italy put out a press release this morning saying they will indeed offer the iPhone. “Telecom Italia announced today it has signed a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Italy later this year.” Go figure.

Safari for Windows up, Mac down, iPhone rocks at Flickr

The latest Net Applications survey and data extracted from Flickr logs indicate that Safari’s Windows version tripled the browser’s market share, Microsoft is eating into Mac’s market share and the iPhone surpasses Nokia’s N95 in photo uploads to Flickr. The published numbers have limited scope but they allow us to draw some interesting conclusions.
