Coverbuddy adds a remote control for iTunes to your PSP (and any other web-enabled device).

Here is the latest Typolis source based on Antville. Two development branches were merged with the main development: These are the "label" and "module" branch. It's still in under construction and in some perts modified for our personal use, but if someone wants to use it. Feel free.

typolis source (zip, 619 KB)

All critics welcome!

Beware: The sourcecode is modified for use with typolis layout. (So it's mainly for code review) The Tags won't work without modifications on the default-layout. We will publish the modifications soon...

Schoschie created this online tool to create letters. You can write a letter, make a PDF from it an print it on your corporate letter paper. A nice extension would be to share your letters. Seems to be quite easy to use.

It's done and it's ugly: Adobe hijacked the good old Macromedia Website as the next step of their acquisition.

This is the first site I found that serves a lot of FREE downloads for your mobile device. Definitly worth a visit if you like playing around with Java, Symbian, Palm and Pocket PC software:

The guys from 37signals released their next bit hit called Campfire. It is announced as a group chat for your business. So you can chat via a regular webpage and on a permanent URL. Campfire chats don't require special chat software or networks. Filesharing seems to be easy.

So I am looking forward to test it. Doing it at my own does not make sence. So see ya there.
