Eric hasn’t actually sent me his list this week, so I’m just pulling this one out of my ass! Here are six untested apps from the App Store’s Top 50 Free that look like they’ve got some potential. Discovery Channel by (duh) Discovery Channel: I’m not surprised this app is at #1 right now – it looks like a smorgasbord of DC’s nerdy-but-cool educational content… videos, behind-the-scenes show info, photo galleries, TV schedule, all that. Bump by Bump Technologies: I’ve actually used this one and it works as advertised (and as shown in the iPhone commercial)! Select your info from Contacts, your fellow Bumper does the same, and with a quick bump the info somehow gets traded between both devices. Pretty cool. Mover by Infinite Labs: I think this one was featured in a recent iPhone commercial, too.

But can it be a sustainable business? Bits takes a closer look. TextPlus pays the text messaging bill to AT&T in exchange for showing ads to its users. Since textPlus came out in June, its 800,000 monthly users have traded 80 million text messages, with the flow currently about 1.6 million a day. All those texts get expensive for Gogii, which pays AT&T for them to be sent. Scott Lahman, Gogii’s chief executive, concedes that the revenue from ads so far does not come close to the amount of money Gogii pays AT&T.

Not only does textPlus let you send and receive SMS messages for free, it also supports group chat. Basically, it’s a text-lovers dream. We knew the lure of free SMSing would be popular, but check this out: since June 1, the textPlus app has been downloaded 1.6 million times and 80 million texts have been sent using the service, which comes out to an average of 1.6 million texts per day. As the New York Times pointed out this morning, teenagers are a perfect fit for textPlus. The price-point (free) is obviously attractive to teens who might not have any say over what text-messaging package their phone uses, plus the group feature is a great way to make plans and for lots of teens to talk at once. Beyond that though, the company tells Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:21:28 GMT http://mashable.com/2009/08/25/free-texting-ipod-touch/ Mashable (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/appletics/statuses/6321002615 ...today #iphone #app textPlus #Free.

If you haven’t used or heard of textPlus, here are the key features: Like that was the case with the iPhone version, textPlus is available as a free download from the Android Market, as well. And for the record, since its introduction in Apple’s AppStore, textPlus has seen almost 3.5 million downloads, and over 350 million messages sent since June 2009. Not surprisingly, the company expects similar success with the Android app. Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.

Here's another: Drew Olanoff's (from Blame Drew's Cancer) mother made this iPhone pillow for him while he was recovering from chemotherapy. It's handmade and super cute -- I especially like the stylish icons, including the textPlus icon, which is Drew's own iPhone app. There's also a stitched Home button (which you can see in the full picture), and there's even a pocket on the side, sized just right for an actual iPhone of course. Awesome.

Der iFund war im März 2008 mit $100 Millionen US-Dollar gestartet. Großspurig hieß es zur damaligen Zeit, dass man mit einer solchen Finanzierung “ein Duzend Amazons.com oder vier Googles” starten könnte. Exakt zwei Jahre nach dieser Ankündigung ist von den kleinen Finanzspritzen an unabhängige Entwickler nicht viel zu sehen. KPCB zieht trotzdem ein mehr als positives Fazit. Der iFund hat sich 14 (!) Firmen gewidmet und erwartet daraus Umsätze von $100 Millionen Dollar im laufenden Geschäftsjahr 2010. Spielentwickler Ngmoco (Rolando II, Eliminate Pro, We Rule, etc.) und das kalifornische Start-Up Gogii (textPlus) Inc sind zweifelsohne erfolgreiche Exemplare. Die einen zeichnen sich durch gute Spiele aus, die anderen durch einen kostenfreien SMS-Service. Ansonsten alles düster im iFund-Land. Hat schon einmal jemand von gehört?

Bookwalter A recent survey of new iPad owners sounding off on Twitter revealed that a whopping 26 percent were unhappy about the fact that the device couldn’t replace their iPhone. That got us thinking: What would it be like to spend a day with only the iPad? With that challenge in mind, we (mostly) stuck our trusty iPhone 3GS away for a full day and “made do” with only the Wi-Fi model of iPad. As it turns out, it’s not as difficult as you might expect. We have yet to find any iPhone apps that don’t also run on the iPad -- even seemingly more complex ones such as SlingPlayer Mobile or Skype work just fine -- so most of the iPhone functionality can already be duplicated just by installing the same apps you already use.

I've since graduated to unlimited texting, and had left textPlus by the wayside until I found out it had a blossoming community angle to the service. While you can still send free texts until your fingers fall off, the latest version of textPlus (an ad-supported app, although there's a paid version as well) allows you to create, participate and join in Communities, which are much like topical group chat rooms seen on AIM back in the early days of the service. Once you've set up a basic account using not much more than your name, zip code and birthdate, textPlus looks a lot like a big chat application.
