MxTube, a YouTube video downloader, was one of my favorite applications back on my 1.1.4 jailbroken iPhone. It allows you to search through YouTube videos, much like the actual YouTube app, and download them directly to your phone to watch whenever you want with no loading time. Well, it seems like the developer is almost finished with MxTube 2.0. Continue reading for more information. » MxTube 2.0, soon to be released.

I came across this new article from Walt Mossberg, the well known personal technologist column writer from the Wall Street Journal. Normally i wouldn’t post this as it’s not really iPhone 3G related, but it’s funny that Walt Mossberg names the iPhone 31 times in a review for the Samsung Instinc (that he only names about 19 times :))

ITools is an app still in development, but i didn’t want to hold this news from you guys.
Not much is known except for a long list of features, but i’m sure we will get new updates in a few days.
The app is the brainchild of Gojohnnyboi (who is only 15y)!!
Here’s the list of possible future functions.

The latest build of iPhone OS 2.0 (5a258f), now available to developers who have been accepted into Apple’s $99 iPhone Developer program, includes a feature dubbed “Import SIM Contacts” that presumably does as its name implies, extracting contacts stored on the SIM and copying them to the iPhone’s internal storage. Theoretically, this would allow SIM cards pulled from other phones to have contact information transferred to the iPhone permanent — assuming the cards came from the same carrier.
This task could previously be accomplished with some jailbreak applications like “SIMport,” though with mixed results.
For the sporty men among my readers i have found some video’s optimized for the iPod (although also for the iPhone).
They can be found on the men’s health page and they are free.

Hmm I just received this video via mail from a reader.
Honestly, this doesn’t feel good at all. I was a user of windows mobile for quite some years but although the iPhone has it’s minor downsides, i could never go back to Windows Mobile.

Enjoy
This isn’t the most recent news, but i wanted to post it just for reference.
In a few months the locoGPS will be received, so what’s so special about this GPS??
First of all, the locogps is not an application that you will need to install on your iPhone or iPod touch.
The locogps is actually a hardware dongle with wi-fi that has a webserver running on it.
To run the app, you will need to browse to a page with safari.
Personally i don’t think this will work very well as you will probably have too much delay for fast navigation, but as i haven’t received a testing unit yet, i can’t really be sure.
