ajb{log}: learn something new each day

I Am Rich iPhone App silently (or loudly) made it into the iPhone App Store. What is it? It’s nothing. It’s just an image that allows you to brag to everyone that you can afford such an app that does nothing.

It’s priced at $999.99. Wow, I think, is an understatement.

Here’s the direct link to iTunes (until they pull it out). Don’t Apple check each and every single App that goes into the App Store? Makes you think they don’t.

This is just too good to pass.

PC really hate his stupid newswire…

I’m probably one of the first early users to get access to Woopra’s beta couple of months ago. Quite frankly, I didn’t use it. I felt Woopra wasn’t going to be as good as what we currently use (Google Analytics). I even said to myself, “it’s just gonna be another Google Analytics with the same sets of data. What can they probably offer? What else is new?”

But as soon as I read about Woopra on CenterNetworks this morning, I gave it a whirl. I logged in to my Woopra account, copy/pasted the JS snippet on Mployd. I thought it would take some time for the data to funnel to my dashboard.

And so I tried to download and install the Woopra desktop application. To my surprise, data from the site is already crunching in!

Here’s a screenshot of the Woopra desktop application on my machine after I installed it.

See that? After 10 mins I’m already getting what I need to know from our visitors. That’s really neat!

And one cool thing about it is that it sits on my desktop/system tray for quick access. Woopra integrated a lot of awesome features into the app aside from analytics. There’s just too much to list them down here.

The Woopra desktop application is currently available in beta to Windows, MacOS, and Linux (note that Java is required to run the app).

We know that Google Analytics dominates the free web analytics space. I’d say Woopra can quickly become #2 with the added innovations to the app.

I’ve tried almost every single free web analytics app out there and Woopra is a breath of fresh air. I simply love it.

Ok… Let’s pretend we all don’t know…

Hmm… I wonder what it is…

Maybe it should be “Something really thin, long battery life, 3G, Maps with GPS, App Store… um what else… MobileMe integration… Push email, push contacts, $199 (MAX), blah bleh blih…”

MobileMe is a new service for your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC.
Featuring Push email, Push contacts, and Push calendar, and more.

MobileMe according to Apple…

You might have a Mac at home, a PC at work, and an iPhone or iPod touch. The challenge is keeping multiple devices always in sync. Enterprises can use a server like Exchange. For everyone else, now there’s MobileMe.

MobileMe works with the applications you know well. Microsoft Outlook on a PC. Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac. And Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Access and manage your email, contacts, calendar, photos, and files at me.com. All with amazing applications that are so feature-rich and easy to use, you may end up preferring them to your regular desktop applications.

Check your email, change your calendar, edit your contacts, and more at me.com. Accessible anywhere, me.com is an ad-free suite of web applications — Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery, and iDisk — that are elegant and easy to use. You can drag and drop, click and drag, use keyboard shortcuts, and even switch between applications with a single click. Me.com is such a great web experience, it seems as if you’re using desktop software.

Via TUAW:

“SingTel confirms iPhone for Singapore, India, the Philippines and Australia.

In a singularly uninformative press release, SingTel, Singapore’s largest telecommunications company, has announced that it is bringing the iPhone to “Singapore, India, the Philippines and Australia later this year” through several subsidiary carrier brands: SingTel, Bharti Airtel, Globe and Optus.

The latter confirms our earlier post that Aussies won’t be limited to Vodafone for their iPhone needs. Unfortunately no dates or pricing have been announced; it seems safe to assume this will cover the forthcoming 3G iPhone. In any case, this is good news for some of our Asia / Pacific iPhone brethren.”

Still nothing for us over here.

Argh!
