Today I picked up a new case for my iPhone at Best Buy. Manufactured by Rocketfish, it’s made of clear acrylic and snaps into place around your phone. It has all the standard openings that you would expect so that you can access & charge without having to remove the phone from the case.
The clear acrylic covers both the front and back and the protective screen is flexible enough for finger taps. You do have to press quite a bit harder than you would without this case. So far, I like it, but I don’t love it.
I like the complete enclosure, now I can slip it into my pants pocket without having to worry that my keys or the wayward Werther’s Original will scratch it.
I don’t like how hard I have to press to get a response, especially toward the top of the screen. Using the keyboard isn’t half bad, but if you want to play a game, you’ll need to 86 this case. The good news is that it’s easy to get the phone in & out.
Pros
- Doubles as a case & screen protector
- Full enclosure, protective touch screen with electrostatic membrane
- Clear acrylic, can see the iPhone in all of its glory
- Click-snap system for easy in & out
Cons
- Protective touch screen has a spongy feel. Harder finger touch required, especially near the top of the screen.
- Price: $24.99 @ Best Buy – knock $5.00 off and I think it would be reasonable for an acrylic case
Verdict
It depends on what you use your iPhone for. For texting, emails & calls – it works well. If your into gaming, or using Safari in landscape mode – this isn’t for you.
I am testing out moBlog, a blogging client for Windows Mobile devices. So far it seems pretty intuitive.
If you can handle basic html you can create a full feature posts with:
- Bullet points
- Stylized text
You can even insert & upload photos.
For the price , I’d say that moBlog is the best blogging client Windows Mobile that I have seen.
moBlog is a mobile blogging application for Windows Mobile (WM) devices. moBlog currently supports Blogger, WordPress.com and Live Spaces. Support for LiveJournal and MovableType/TypePad is also on the cards.
moBlog is a .NET Compact Framework (.NETCF) 2.0 dependent application. Hence you will need to have .NETCF 2.0, which is a free download from Microsoft installed on your device. You can download .NETCF 2.0 here. It will work on any Windows Mobile 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.0 (WM5) / Windows Mobile 6.0 (WM6) devices.
ZDNet’s Matthew Miller writes a positive review of Zumobi. I did a mini-review of it last week and found it to be an underwhelming app when it came to performance.
Zumobi brings a fresh experience to Windows Mobile by ZDNet’s Matthew Miller — A few months ago I saw a quick demo of ZenZui on a Windows Mobile device. The name of the company and client has been changed to Zumobi and the beta is now rolled out for initial public trials. Zumobi lets you access and share web-based content using a new zooming tile interface. Mary Jo Foley mentioned the beta availability a couple of days ago and I was given access to the beta program that same day. I loaded it up on an HTC Touch Dual device and recorded the short video clip below of Zumobi in action.
Tiny Twitter is mobile application that will run on any java enabled device, Blackberry, or Windows Mobile (Professional or Smartphone). I downloaded the Windows Mobile Pocket PC version and took it for a spin on my AT&T Tilt.

The Tiny Twitter interface (above, on the left) has more bells & whistles than the standard pocket IE twitter interface (above, on the right) at http://m.twitter.com. With the pocket IE version you are relegated to a text only interface. However, there is something to be said about keeping things slim when you are on a mobile device.

The Tiny Twitter menu gives you options to post a new tweet, reply directly to a user, send a direct message, delete a tweet, look a user’s timeline, go to your inbox, and fiddle with your settings. Unfortunately after you post a tweet, Tiny Twitter leaves you on the ‘post a tweet’ page, rather than taking you back to the main menu.

Under the settings menu, you can edit your login credentials, define your sync period, select an option to play a sound when you receive a new direct message and setup a proxy.

I am pretty impressed with Tiny Twitter and encourage my mobile friends to take it for a test drive. You can download Tiny Twitter here: http://www.tinytwitter.com/m/ or by visiting: http://m.ttwt.at from your mobile device.
Tip to Pocket PC Thoughts & the Geekzone for this little gem.
