However, I have finally update my iPhone, now that TouchTerm is available from the iTunes store. I tried using the tool from modmyiphone but had terrible results with it. Thankfully I had a backup of my firmware (1.1.4) before trying it and immediately went back to using that. Now that I am on the 2.0 bandwagon, however, I have wasted no time in amassing a bunch of tools that I use daily.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=286623227&amp;mt=8\">TouchTerm<\/a>, for ssh access to my servers. This was the big show-stopper prior to now. Worth it to me to pay for. (And cheap, too!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=286323755&amp;mt=8\">Bookmarks<\/a> for quick acess to my del.icio.us bookmarks. Massive time saver, and the layout is useful if a bit stark and utlitarian.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=286274367&amp;mt=8\">Palringo<\/a> for chat. There have been some concerns voiced on the comments in the app store about security, and such. I&#8217;m not so worried about it. I have a password I use for chat and different ones for more important things like email and such. I don&#8217;t use chat (outside of the jabber at work, which <em>is not<\/em> in my Palringo account) for anything important.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=286091993&amp;mt=8\">TouchCalc<\/a> for its hex and binary modes. There is an octal mode as well, but I haven&#8217;t had need of it (yet).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=284956128&amp;mt=8\">Stanza<\/a> for reading books on my iPhone. I read a lot, and it is nice to have half-a-dozen books at hand. And with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexcycle.com\/\">desktop app<\/a> I can convert just about anything I can get online into a readable book for the iPhone. Very nice.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=284967867&amp;mt=8\">Twinkle<\/a> for keeping up with <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/\">twitter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=286537722&amp;mt=8\">Tankbuch<\/a> for keeping track of mileage and gas usage. My Forrester gets an average of 23.2 MPG in the city, and 30.4 on the highway!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=284448147&amp;mt=8\">Zenbe Lists<\/a> for my shopping lists. It means that my wife can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zenbe.com\/welcome\">update the list<\/a> from her PC while I am on my way to the store and I can sync when I get there and see everything I need to pick up. It also means that I can sync after checking everything off and I don&#8217;t have to relay the entire list of what I was able or unable to find when I get home.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewGenre?id=6014&amp;mt=8\">games<\/a>. I like the free ones, partly because I am cheap, and partly because I don&#8217;t generally play a single game long enough to warrant paying for it. The exception is <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=284723715&amp;mt=8\">Sextuple Word Challenge<\/a> &#8211; a word game very much like TextTwist. (I have a bit of an addiction to word games, and hey, it&#8217;s only a buck.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a bit late in posting this, but things have been a bit hectic around here.
