2 Years of blogging

Well.. there's not much to say. This blog was started 2 years ago as p1frate.blogspot.com.

It started as a non-purpose mobile blog when I got my Sony Ericsson P1i.
It did evolve a lot, changing it's purpose, looks and name.

Happy Bday!

Fiare vechi luam!!

De ceva timp nu prea am mai auzit tipete pe strazi cu "fiare vechi luam"... eh, iata si de ce... Pentru ca baietii s-au digitalizat! Spam'uiesc! Acest Viorel stie... mai lipseste sa isi faca si un cont de twitter, fan page pe facebook si gata PR'ul, ne-am dat naibii!

How To Make Cheap SEO on the App Store

Talking about idiots.. I didn't expect this crisis to be so severe. Everyone's trying to sell their crap and sniff some extra cash out of it...

Like these Kaufcom GmbH guys and their Hot Girls application for iPhone.

Looking throught what they offer.. I saw many such kind of 'hot' application. First of all, I can't imagine how this garbage gets approved by Apple, but this is another story. Second... I'm really curious about how many idiots bought this... with those €0.79 you'd better buy yourself a popsicle, all you wankers out there!

Anyway if you will search the App Store for The Sims, Alarm Clock, Flight Simulation, Brushes, Torch, Asphalt Racing, GPS, City, Weather, Camera, Mafia Wars, Navigator, Flickr, Facebook, Playboy etc. you will most probably end up stumbling upon one of these crap applications.

And congratulations, Apple, for approving all this smelly stuff.

Lousy Headphones

I need a new pair of Sennheiser headphones for my iPod -> eBay, of course

Who's the idiot that's going to pay $30 for shipping only?! WTF!!
What strategy is this dude?! You won't sell anything and finally you'll die and go to hell!

BustedTees Fail

Typos from ads, newsletters etc make me sick. It just gives them an unprofessional touch that retains me from buying/using the thing.
See this "Michael Jackon T-Shirt Presale" from BustedTees and not to mention the print sucks..
FAIL!

WorldMate for iPhone

Finally... WorldMate is back for me and it's here to stay! Since I switched to iPhone, one of the regrets was the unavailability of WorldMate, wich I was using on the Sony Ericsson P1i.
There are many travel apps available for the iPhone, but still none can reach the high standards and accuracy of WorldMate.
The only downside of the app is it's price - €31,99, but looking on the bright side... this brings you a one year gold membership at the WorldMate service.
Here's what's exciting about it:

• Itinerary manager - flights, hotels, car rentals, business meetings
• Automated Flight Updates (I'm sure push notifications will do the job)
• Flight status lookups
• Flight schedules search
• Maps & directions
• Weather forecasts
• World clocks
• Currency converter
• Travel dashboard
• Online travel planner
• Priority customer support
• Ad free

available for download on the App Store

UPDATE 28.06.2009
It seems that the guys at MobiMate got the point about the ridiculous price, so they did some adjustments:

• WorldMate Gold is now €15,99 (yes, that's a full one year GOLD membership)
• WorldMate is available for download for free (no automated flight updates, no flight status lookups within the app, no priority support and it has ads)

UPDATE 28.07.2009
Push notifications are here!!

iPhone Message Preview in OS 3.0

Probably one of the most exciting features for me in iPhone's new OS 3.0 is the ability to toggle message preview on/off.

That crap was so annoying and it was one of the things that kept me from getting an iPhone from the beginning. Though it's just a tiny detail comparing to cut/copy/paste, push notifications etc, Apple enabled this feature 2 years after the initial iPhone release...
