iPhone Remote App is now an external keyboard and gesture-based control for AppleTV
The most annoying defect of AppleTV is having to use the IR remote to enter text. And for me it's a frequent task since I use it to search for YouTube videos, movie trailers and songs.
But the new AppleTV OS combined with the updated iPhone/iPod Touch Remote App solves this issue elegantly. Now you can use the Remote App as an external easy to use keyboard and it also allows you to control the AppleTV using gestures, with some swipes it's now faster than using the standard remote control.
In fact, I misplaced it and I don't care where it is ;-)

BeejiveIM (IM client for iPhone 3.0) now supports Push Notifications and 'Meta-Contacts'
BeejiveIM is my favorite IM client. It supports MSN and GTalk, the two networks I use and it sends an email when a message is received and the app is not running. This is very convenient, but not always reliable, sometimes the email is received an hour after sent and then it's useless.
Since the Push Notification was announced some months ago I've been waiting for BeejiveIM to include it. Today they've released an update and Push notifications works as expected. Messages appear almost instantaneously when the app is not running, it looks like the app were running on background.
Additionally, the app has an improved gray UI, and the contacts witho more than an IM account can be grouped in meta-contacts.

Evernote for iPhone 3 has now map view, landscape thumbnails and an improved local list of notes.
Evernote is a simple but powerful online Note system. It allows to organize notes in different 'notebooks' and assign multiple tags to each note.
The notes are always available online using the web version, and there are local versions for different platforms, including Mac, Windows, iPhoneOS and other mobile phones.
The new version for iPhone has improved the graphic interface, my favorite changes are:
• New map view to list and filter notes with geotags.
• A local list including all the online notes titles.
• A beautiful landscape mode showing notes thumbnails.

Omnifocus for iPhone 3.0
I'm a fervient GTD practitioner and once I moved from PalmOS the first thing I missed was the flexible ToDo app.
Fortunately, since day one of AppStore Omnifocus appeared as the best ToDo and GTD management system.
It always had the option to sync with MobileMe allowing to have a single synced list between the Mac and the iPhone. Omnifocus always makes contexts more meaningful using iPhone location, so when you're at home or office only the relevant tasks appear with just pressing the Nearby button.
With the version for iPhone 3.0 Omnifocus has been improved, my favorite new features are:
• Graphic Nearby view using maps,
• Repeat settings on iPhone, repeat tasks were supported in previous versions but they should be configured on the Mac version.
• More flexible tasks configurations, now a task can be converted to a project or moved between projects without needing to use the Mac version,
• Landscape mode,
Now I'm just waiting for the missing feature: Notifications 3.0
;-)

Opciones ocultas en Google App
Google App tiene un conjunto de opciones 'ocultas' (Easter Egg) en el menú de Settings que permite cambiar los colores de la aplicación, cambiar la voz al procesar el audio, mostrar en 'vivo' la onda de audio y abrir las ligas en la misma aplicación (sin abrir Safari).
Esta última opción me parece muy útil y yo la pedía desde que instalé la aplicación, es increíble ver que siempre estuvo ahí.

Firmware 2.1
Phone version 2.1 contains many bug fixes and improvements, including the following: • decrease in call set-up failures and call drops • significantly improved battery life for most users • dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes • improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts • faster installation of 3rd party applications • fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes if you have lots of 3rd party applications • improved performance in text messaging • faster loading and searching of contacts • improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display • repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages • option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts • Genius playlist creation
Mi Telcel 3G está 'jailbroken' en este momento, así que después de la actualización se volverá a bloquear. Tengo aplicaciones de Cydia lo que hace fácil su respaldo: Backup- SSH into iPhone
- Backup folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d
- Run: dpkg -l > dpkg.txt
- Backup dpkg.txt
- Edit dpkg.txt and leave only the package numbers
- SSH into iPhone
- Restore folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d
- Upload modified dpkg.txt
- Run
- apt-get update
- apt-get install `cat /tmp/dpkg.txt`
- reboot

Documentación del iPhone SDK
La documentación del SDK de iPhone está bastante detallada, y aunque son mis primeras experiencias con información de Mac OS, es evidente que está basada en documentación previamente existente de Cocoa y demás tecnologías. Esto no me parece malo, al contrario, creo que ayuda a que a pesar de que se están liberando betas con funcionalidad y características adicionales, siempre se vea como algo estable y confiable.
