“My BEST iPhone apps are here!”

Google Mobile App? That's not supposed to be available until Monday. How'd you get your hands on it? - mojay
You have about six "To Do" apps, which do you like best? why keep them all? - Helen Hoefele
Thanks for the link but I'm a victim of country store limitations - "not yet available in the Qatari store" :( Same goes for last.fm app (anyone with a workaround?). - mojay
special mention to Noise.io! - Didier Lahely
Oh ok. Understood mojay. Sorry... ; ( - Didier Lahely
For a web developer, I user TouchTerm as a fav app. Gets me into servers when before I had to make sure i was in the office to do that. It's a lifesaver sometimes. - David Bisset
Helen, I am trying them (To do's) but so far, I like Things and Toodledo, because I can access on the net, on my iPhone, on the mac desktop, also they are linked with Ical. - Didier Lahely
David, I'm a moron newbie, I need VERY simple apps! Haha. But I will try it sure. - Didier Lahely
Didier, you should try "Discover" as a replacement for "Airsharing". Much nicer, IMO. - Jason Huebel
Thanks Jason, I will try : ) - Didier Lahely
you should try speakeasy for a voice recording app... one of the most intuitive GUI's I have seen - James Campbell
No Google Maps surprising, good to see Fring on the list =.= but slightly disappointed with the list - Ian Cleasby via twhirl
Hi Ian, it's a screen capture of my applications in Itunes; you can't see the other applications as Maps (Google), Stoks, Cydia, Notes etc. Sorry you are disappointed in "my" list, but it says what it says, it's MY list... I guess any list will be ever perfect because we are all different, designers, accountant, photographers, CEO... So a CEO will find my list VERY boring I guess and will wonder WTF are all these apps??! I only know "Phone" and "Mail"! - Didier Lahely
Jason, you were RIGHT! It's MUCH easier to use! Now I need to sell my Air Sharing, wouaha. Thanks Jas! - Didier Lahely

“Just visited electronics market in Shanghai. They are selling knockoff iPhones which take two SIM cards and have replaceable batteries.”
November 8 at 8:20 pm - Link
Bring a box of 'em back please. - Josh Haley
Sounds awesome. how much? - Scott Overpeck
Photos or a short video of the market would be nice if possible, hint, hint! - Roney Smith
Scott: about $200 before negotiating. I have some photos, but will post them later tonight. - Robert Scoble
Look forward to seeing them. You know anyone who has tried one. - Scott Overpeck
Scott: I don't. Everyone has real iPhones that I've met with, but then I'm hanging out with geeks. - Robert Scoble
Definitely bring some back. Need a shipping address? - Ralph Riccardi
Dealextreme has knockoff iPhones all the time. Not sure if they're dual SIM but my memory is they fetch about $120ish plus a few dollars shipping (which is super fast). I can't vouch for whether they actually work. I think the $199 price for an 8GB iPhone takes a lot of the wind out of the sales of the these fakes. - Wayne Schulz
WOW - What a concept!! "and have replaceable batteries” - JimmyJet
Replaceable batteries might have saved my co-worker, who dropped her phone into water. Sadly, I don't think there's a way to quickly kill all power to an iPhone, if you can't remove the battery. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)
The iPhone should have a recessed switch for cutting off battery... for those kind of situations - KtecK
Photos will be nice! I wonder if the knock offs function as well as the real thing, the battery idea is very cool though. - Barbara Duck
Robert, have you see Android knockoffs? - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
Have fun in Shanghai robert. Try to take time for an evening visit @ "JC Club" in Fuxing Xi Lu / Wulumuqin Lu - great little jazz-place. Today Sunday is nice - w CoCo a local star. Show starts around 10pm. - Niels Peter
Julio: I haven't seen any Android knockoffs yet. In the black market everyone comes up to you and says "handbag? watch? iPhone?" - Robert Scoble
Android is open source. There's no such thing as an Android knockoff. - scott anderson
PLEEASE show us some pics or videos of the iphone knockoffs - natadd
natadd: I will post those later tonight. Still have tons of meetings today. - Robert Scoble
LOL. Almost better than the original :) - Ryo
No knockoffs of the Android software - but were these running the genuine iPhone OS? If so, you could get the same with Android: knockoff hardware, say copying the T-Mobile one, but running genuine Android. - James
On the android thing, iirc there is already work being done getting android up and running on the neo freerunner. That is the latest openmoko phone, btw ;) - turn.self.off
It might be fun to get Android running on the knockoff iPhones. - scott anderson

"Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, 'We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.'" - Live4SoccerVacations via Bookmarklet
AMEN!!!!!! - Live4SoccerVacations
This speech (as well as many of his others) is going down in history as one of the best speeches. I am a Obama Speech Junkie now. - Chris W
I started the day cynical...I'm ending the day cautiously hopeful...The country needs this...SHIT, I FUCKING NEED THIS...I pray with every fiber of my being that he delivers and resists, not only the scum-partisan and extreme from the other side but the same ideologues and scum from within...be that transcending leader...be the light you promised to me and do RIGHT by the vote I CAST FOR YOU TODAY...That's MY mantra...that's MY MANDATE... - Live4SoccerVacations
Great speech! - Tanath
It was modest, sincere, welcoming and trying to unify people under The correct values... Great speech, I will be watching your next moves, president... - Alemsah

Google CEO Backs Obama - WSJ.com
October 19 at 10:20 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt will hit the campaign trail this week on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, signaling Mr. Schmidt's push for a greater voice in politics while giving the Obama campaign a boost from a highly desirable constituency. Although the Internet-search company has numerous issues pending on Capitol Hill, Mr. Schmidt said in an interview that "I'm doing this personally," adding that "Google is officially neutral" in the campaign." - Erica Baker via Bookmarklet
Hrm....for some...this is bigger than the Powell endorsement - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
"Google employees have contributed $487,355 to Sen. Obama's campaign and $20,600 to Sen. McCain's as of Aug. 31. Mr. Schmidt hasn't donated to either." - Roshan Vyas
Do you think he'll be better at this than Carly? - j1m
Wow, those donation numbers seem extremely one-sided even for a Cali-based tech company. - Robert Haas
@Rob I think this talk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... won him a bunch of supporters at Google. Up until this talk, I hadn't decided between Obama and HRC. Note the Secret Service presence even then. - Erica Baker
That makes sense. I wasn't aware he had spoken there. Of course, it gets a one sentence mention that I apparently missed in the article. McCain spoke there too; I suppose he didn't go over as well. - Robert Haas
@Rob To be fair, all the candidates did. However Obama had a really good message on technology and you can imagine how that resonated with a crowd full of Googlers. - Erica Baker
Wow, Google favors Obama by about 48-to-2 in terms of $$$. - Mike Reynolds
Obama's "Not Bubble Sort" won me over. :-). And speaking of contributions, Ron Paul got quite a bit of moolah from Googlers with Libertarian leanings. - Sudhakar "Thaths" Chandra

Robert: I wondered where your comment went to. I was afraid I accidentally deleted it... - Mitchell Tsai
You didn't. As soon as posted it, I saw someone else did the same thing, so I deleted to get rid of the redundancy and went looking for the answer. Then I posted the answer but when it refreshed you had beaten me to it. - RAPatton
Wow, stunning!! man i need vacation soo bad! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
I want to live there. Oh man. - Sarah Perez
