I am able to change the music I’m listening to throughout my house by controlling it from one small little tool! This is one of the best things I’ve used in quite awhile, for sure. The Sonos Controller gives you instant access to all your music and all the rooms in your house, with just the touch of a finger… even from my iPhone!

I recently sent a set of Apps to my friend Bwana, and asked him to review them. The Apps came from SuperApps Online’s website, and include a full suite of things to enhance your iPhone. You’ll find things such as an air horn and information about US Presidents.

Currently, the leading iPhone GPS apps are:

• TomTom
• ATTNavigator
• Navigon
• G-Map (East)
• G-Map (West)

It seems that G-Map series is the one to beat (in terms of price and features), but I was hoping my community might share their experiences with any one of these GPS apps? I asked earlier on Twitter, and results / reviews were all over the map (no pun intended).

Apple has officially released the next iPhone operating system. It feels like Christmas to some of us, given that this new version boasts the addition of several long-awaited features (including “copy and paste”). I asked my Twitter followers for their initial impressions, and they definitely responded! I used Twickie to collect the following replies.

TweetDeck is now on the iPhone. That’s right – the reversed-palate, desktop-hogging application has now gone mobile, releasing its first iPhone version today. The TweetDeck community fervently downloaded it and spread the exciting news that they have been waiting for since the idea was mentioned last summer. Some of you might have tried the desktop app in the past and moved on for whatever reason. You might want to take a second look and see what both the desktop and the iPhone applications now have to offer.

We’ll know in a few weeks. What are you most wanting to see in the new operating system? Assuming it’ll run on all currently-deployed iPhones…

I have a problem: I get NFR copies for many iPhone apps.

This, itself, isn’t an issue – but the iPhone can only display up to 144 apps at one time. This limitation is artificial, as I have an insane amount of free space on the device. I currently have 250 apps in my iTunes library (out of tens of thousands available storewide). Many of these great apps can no longer be synced because of this imposed limitation. Consequently, I’m not carefree with what I choose to install on the iPhone anymore.

Read more on Why Does Apple Restrict the iPhone’s Abilities?…

I was just notified that there’s a new version of the StarPlayr app (currently private, but soon to be launched in the iTunes App Store). Features now include:

• Mini guide: what’s playing on a channel before you tune in

Hat tip to iJustine (and Brent for letting me know):

1. Buy go.tagjag.com/emoji in iTunes (.99c)
2. Install and click through any story in the app.
3. Go navigate through the iPhone’s Settings: General | International | Keyboards | Japanese | toggle Emoji to on
