Have2P Will Save Your Underpants One Day

Jesus Diaz — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:00:00 EDT

I'm not being sexist: Most of the women in my life have to pee 27.3 times every hour. Or something like that. I'm getting all of them Have2P for their iPhones.

Have2P tracks every public restroom around you, giving you directions through the iPhone's Maps application. It will also tell you what toilets are for customers—please-coffee-brb!—and what are truly public restrooms.

But most importantly, it will give you bathroom reviews. Yes, my lovelies, bathroom reviews. This thing will tell you if a restroom is so dirty that it will require you to step inside, holding to the door as if you were Spiderman, then taking off your jeans and knickers like the Great Houdini, all while trying holding your bag and coat with your neck. Or, if you are lucky, find a place so clean that will at last be able to abandon your apartment and move there.

The best part: Have2P is free, free, free, free as in pee. [Geeksugar]

iSteam iPhone Steam Simulation App is Amazingly Cool

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:22:28 EST

I have almost no apps in my iPhone, only the most useful ones for NYC. But iSteam, a steam simulator, looks like a fun one to install and keep.

As you can see in the video, the application adds ultra-realistic steam to your screen when you blow on the microphone.

After that you can use your fingers to clean it, causing squeaky sounds, condensation, and drops that get affected by the orientation of the phone, like it would happen in real life. But without frying your iPhone. It's silly. It's useless. It was a must get when it was free. Now that it is $0.99, I'd think about it.

Kostas Eleftheriou—one of the guys who does the app—says that iSteam will be free until the weekend, but there has been a problem with Apple's iTunes App store backoffice software. I still see it as $0.99, but some people are reporting is back to free. [iSteam]

iPhone's sixth SDK has just been released, adding support for the latest iPhone OS and fixing various bugs. You'll have to update to Leopard 10.5.3, which was released earlier today. That's right, you HAVE TO. Not sure why, but that's what Apple's saying. [Apple]

IntelliScreen Brings Useful Widgets to iPhone's Home Screen

Jason Chen — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:30:00 EDT

Instead of just staring the time, date and your choice of wallpaper when you start up the iPhone, why not make it more Windows Mobile-y by putting useful information there*? The app IntelliScreen lets you show either your upcoming calendar items, recent emails, recent text messages, the weather, or even an RSS feed up on the standby screen, letting you see what you need to see without even unlocking your phone. Useful? Definitely. Cluttered? For sure.

It's also in beta, and may crash or even wipe some of your data if it conflicts with some of your other apps. Be careful.

* Yes this is one of the few times that people want to make the iPhone more like Windows Mobile.
