Candy for your music: Elementary CoverGloobus theme
When I saw that reader SciFi Jerry had popped a link to a CoverGloobus theme into the OMG! inbox my first thought was “I’ve only just posted a CoverGloobus theme, I’ll have to old this back for a few days.”
And then I looked at it.

Coming Soon: Terminology App for the iPhone
Terminology is a great new dictionary + thesaurus + lots more app that’s coming to the iPhone next week. It was originally released as an iPad only app. I reviewed that version recently, and was hugely impressed by it.
I’ve also had a sneak peek at the new iPhone version that will be released next [...]

Here’s some more iPhone app sales goodness to celebrate this Back to School period of the year. Sega has got the vast majority of their iPhone games on sale – with some major price cuts to some very notable titles.

Quick Look: QuickCal Mobile for iPhone
QuickCal Mobile, which is simply based on the Mac widget of the same name (and by the same developer, @Boutcher), will take whatever text you type and turn it into relevant event information (see the screenshot above). It can take a little bit to get used to, but it’s actually much faster and more efficient [...]
Coming Soon: Time Lapse Photo Journal for iPhone
This soon-to-be-released new app from Redbot Software looks good to me. It’s called Time Lapse Photo Journal and it seems quite a cool idea to me. It feels like one that should’ve been done already for the iPhone, and maybe there are other apps around that do this same thing and I’ve just missed out [...]

Faenza CoverGloobus Theme
It shameless self-publicity time folks!
Actually, it’s been a while since we last featured anything CoverGloobus related. This is partly because, right now, work on adding time-slider and volume support (amongst other things) is going on. W…
Lovely iPhone Rumor of the Week–WiFi Sync to be Announced at September 1 Apple Event
WiFi sync has been near the top of my iPhone wish list for quite a while. It is actually available now if you are jailbroken, via the Wi-Fi Sync jailbreak app – which has always worked well for me whenever I’m jailbroken.
Now there are rumors that Apple may be about to announce their own [...]
Pad and Quill Little Black Book for iPhone 4
Now here is an unusual case design. The Little Black Book looks just like a Moleskine notebook, but with an iPhone 4-shaped hole where the pages would be. Now I don’t own an iPhone 4 myself, but I did requisition one for an afternoon for a little bit of testing and picture taking.
Overall, I think [...]
Epic Win 1.01 for iPhone: adds sound effects, loot info
Just half a day after I had finished complaining about the lack of sound effects in Epic Win ($2.99), I end up finding an App Store update that adds sound effects to Epic Win. D’oh!
These new SFX make the app a lot more charming (you can now hear the wind blowing as you watch your [...]
Canned for iPhone: easy texting templates
Just because something is canned, doesn’t mean it’s Spam. You can can plenty of other things, too, like tomatoes or text messages. If you don’t have the time to dice tomatoes, get canned tomatoes. If you don’t have time to write texts on your touchscreen device, get Canned for iPhone ($0.99).
All you need to do [...]

The Remember The Milk online task management service now has a free iPhone app – though it’s not quite the full-powered version of the app. Until yesterday, you had to have a Pro account with Remember The Milk in order to use the iPhone app.
Now there is a ‘basic app’ that is free for [...]

If you have an Ubuntu 10.10 Daily build .iso knocking around you can quickly update it to the latest daily imprint using this nifty script by Jeff Stone.
Talking about it he says: -

Chromium’s restyled ‘new tab’ page is minimal win
With so many visually important Ubuntu updates landing today it was nice to find something else non-Ubuntu related amongst them.

Ubuntu 10.10′s new default wallpaper (for now at least)
It’s evolution rather than revolution on the Ubuntu 10.10 default wallpaper front – but is the image below really the default wallpaper or will there yet be a surprise found waiting on the desktop at a later date?
Either way this is, for now…
