Pastebot Supercharges iPhone Copy and Paste
Pastebot from Tapbots is a powerful and flexible clipboard manager for the iPhone that makes copying and pasting images and text between apps straightforward. Clippings are stored in a set of folders which can be kept indefinitely and which can be searched and retrieved very easily.
Images can be edited/cropped etc using the built in editing tools then either saved in clipboard, stored in the Photo library or emailed out.
Facecall for iPhone
Facecall for iPhone is a clever app that uses Web clips to create an icon on your iPhone home screen that when launched will quick dial a selected entry in your address book. The icon defaults to the contact image from your address book but you can replace this with a picture from your photo library or snap an image using the iPhones camera if you prefer. The images can be adjusted before saving to ensure the person is easily recognisable.
You can create as many of these dialer icons as you wish effectively creating a quick dial contacts page on your iPhone.
iPhone App(s) of the day.
Having recently ( finally ) joined the ranks of the iPhone owning faithful I emailed a couple of friends who also have iPhones to ask what their iPhone app of the day was. Interestingly the responses I got ran into mini reviews so I have decided to reproduce them here for your reading pleasure. Thanks John and Debbie, hope this is ok with you !

Last.fm iPhone App Now Supports 2.1 Firmware
Posted by Scott in Featured, iPhone, iPod/iTunes on September 27, 2008
At long last the excellent Last.fm iPhone app has been updated to support version 2.1 firmware. Since the latest iPhone update users of Last.fm have been deprived of access to this excellent service as the previous build was incompatible.
This release has been significantly redesigned and looks much slicker then previously. From what I have seen so far it also seems as this version seems more stable as so far it has behaved flawlessly, something I could not honestly say used to be the case.

The Power Of Twitter
Posted by Scott in iPhone, iPod/iTunes on September 5, 2008
Last night I posted a reply on Twitter to John Gruber who was having problems with his iPhone sync taking hours. I pointed John at my recently posted article on the fix that I had found to my example of this particular problem. Thinking no more of it I went to bed. This morning I woke to find my site had seen a huge surge in hits during the night, todays total so far is approaching 3,000 hits which is 30 times my average daily traffic.
Presumably all the Twitter community who follow John had decided to have a look at my link as well resulting in lots of traffic and comments to this article. To be honest I have had a Twitter account for some time and have only really dabbled with it. I never expected that it could be used to drive traffic to a web site in this sort of way.
iPod Touch and iPhone Slow Synching Problem Fixed
Posted by Scott in Headline, Hints And Tips, iPhone, iPod/iTunes on September 4, 2008
Since upgrading to the iPod 2.0 firmware and beginning to install Apps from the App Store synching on my iPod Touch has gotten slower and slower. The performance was so bad I was setting off a sync and going to bed !
There had to be something wrong and looking around the forums I found a number of others reporting similar problems but none of the suggested solutions appeared to work. These ranged from removing all the installed apps, then reinstalling one by one to a range of what appeared to be mumbo jumbo approaches. Suffice to say I either didn’t try them or they didn’t work. Then the other night I noticed one comment in a thread ( which I can’t now recall ) that mentioned USB hubs possibly being at fault.
