1. iCali | Copy and Paste for iPhone

Description: When Apple released the iPhone, the praise was consistent and so was the criticism. The praise was about the revolutionary interface and the criticism was about the lack of 3G, GPS and Copy and Paste. Apple made 3G and GPS happen, but they said Copy and Paste isn't a priority. The first place we saw copy and paste for iPhone was on an application called MagicPad. The guy behind that app, Juviwhale, met a college student, Zac White. Zac White figured out how to implement copy and paste on any iPhone App without violating the iPhone SDK agreement.

Zac started a non-profit, open-source community project called OpenClip. When a developer adds the OpenClip framework to an iPhone app, that app gains copy and paste functionality. On Brief 410, I demo copy and paste on the iPhone using un-released versions of Twittelator, WordPress and MagicPad.

Apple forbids applications from running in the background because it would take up too much of the iPhone's resources. Also, developers are not allowed to create plug-ins that make their apps work with other apps on the iPhone. Zac White's Open Clip framework uses a shared space on the iPhone. Any application that includes Open Clip can then access the common area and write to it, and read from it, thereby enabling copy and paste between participating apps.

The key to making OpenClip work is adoption. Zac's framework is non-profit. It's open-source, and his project makes the iPhone even more useful. I recorded an audio interview with Zac so if you want to listen, it's here.

Description: Today's iCali has iPhone Apps & Accessories.

iWord
Dictionary with a simple interface. I looked up the word obfuscate and found it was correctly defined.
Go there.

iRef (from the same company)
Simple Wikipedia interface from the same company as iWord. One thing I don't like about these two apps is that you can't bookmark the individual apps. You can only bookmark the main page. Hopefully they'll change that.
Go there.

iNozbe
"Getting Things Done". The Web interface is complicated and takes a while to figure out, but the iPhone app is much simpler. This is for people who are serious about getting things done.
Go there.

Accessory: Shure Headset Adapter
Makes it possible to talk on the iPhone using any headset.
Go there.
