Flipboard for iPhone was released earlier this evening, preceded by an awesome set of tweets, which means you can now enjoy that delicious magazine-style mix of RSS, Twitter, and Facebook linkage on your iPhone. It’s (quite literally) too early to talk much more about the hot new app, but I …

Facebook, the world’s largest Social networking site, still hasn’t debuted an iPad version of their hugely popular Facebook for iPhone app. This lack of an official app for the iPad has left the door open for third party developers to fill the gap. The guys at Oecoway did just that, …

Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, the Facbook CEO, met recently over dinner at Steve’s home in Palo Alto, and it’s rumored that Ping was the main topic on conversation, according to the LA Times. Apple’s music-based social network has been slow to take off since its launch several months ago, …

Earlier this evening, Jonathan George revealed how one can enable a hidden feature in Boxcar to configure a Quiet Time, during which time sounds and popup alerts will not occur. The Boxcar icon will still receive badge updates, however. Apparently, this feature was originally planned for the recent 2.1 update, …

I just saw this post on Jonathan George’s (Boxcar’s developer) Twitter stream (@jdg). It looks like he’s going to try an experiment and offer the premium push notification app, Boxcar 2.0, for free, with additional services increased from $.99 to $1.99. This comes on the heels of a change in …
