Apple finally announced release date and price for its new iPhone3G. My attitude to the first version of Apple’s smartphone was incredulous. Till I got it in my hands. Since that time I think that iPhone is the best in the world. So, my next mobile phone will be iPhone. Definitely. But maybe Google’s Android will be much better. Who knows

Korg announced a new lineup of miniature controllers named the nanoSeries.
The diminutive set includes the nanoKEY (a 25-note, velocity sensitive keyboard), the nanoPAD (12 trigger pads and a touch-sensitive X/Y touchpad), and the nanoKONTROL (a mini-mixer with nine faders, nine knobs, 18 switches, and playback controls). The modular, lilliputian gear connects via USB and are all bus-powered, though we’re hoping they’ve got other power options so the devices can be daisy-chained.

BlueLonge offers a simple and elegant way to hide power cables and surge protectors. It’s is a Cablebox. It has stylish design and available in black and white colors. Cablebox can be pre-ordered just for $29.95.
I think I’ll buy the Cablebox. But if BlueLonge doesn’t make shipping to Cyprus I’ll find something similar in some DIY shop and will use it. Thanks to it for idea 
Twitter is a bit strange service. At the first view it’s not useful at all and absolutely chaotic. But it offers amazing functionality for extending and delivering different type of messages. SimpleHelp posted 12 web applications based on twitter which can make your life easier. What you can do with those applications? Get information about some places from MultiMap or about current weather, know how much fuel do you use, send some message to the group of people, setup alarm, track your FedEx, UPS, USPS or DHL package, search for books, DVDs and music on Amazon.com, connect to your Google Calendar, Remember The Milk or eBay account. Really amazing, isn’t it?
BTW, I registered on the Remember The Milk and created a few tasks. Will see if it’s more suitable for me then Toodledo.
Some times it’s needed to cut URL before posting it somewhere. For example, in Twitter. There is a famous service which does that called TinyURL. It makes association between original and short URLs and keeps it on its side. So, you can use that short version instead of log original URL.
But the progress doesn’t stop and as result we have at least 8 alternatives for TinyURL. One of them is Short URL Service. In addition to the base functionality of handing you back short links, it also adds built-in visitor and hit tracking, tags, expiration dates for links, password-protected links, and bulk submission.
Personally, I use TinyURL quite often. I like it and I like Firefox plug-in TinyURL Creator. It allows to integrate TinyURL service directly into browser which makes creation of short URLs very handy.
