OK, so I was watching one of my favorite Revision 3 shows AppJudgement (YouTube link) and they were doing a Hot App of the day and they came across this little gem. It’s Logitech’s Touch Mouse, and it’s completely FREE. It basically connects to your PC or Mac over wifi and gives you a trackpad and a keyboard to work with! Did I mention that it was FREE??!!! The lag time isn’t even really there either. I used it for a few minutes and it’s great. Now I can run my computer hooked up to my flat screen TV across the room!!! You need the Logitech software installed on your PC or Mac, that you can get from Logitech.com/touchmouse. If you paid for other wireless mouse apps in the app store, I’m sorry, because this is awesome! AppJudgement didn’t go into much detail, but you can see this guy’s video below:

With Microsoft soon to be announcing Windows Mobile 7 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month, there is high speculation that there will be a Zune Phone, model after the Zune HD, being able to play HD video straight out the box. Not only that, but be able to plug HDMI straight out too! I would think they would follow the Zune HD and make it via a dock connector of some sort, but we shall see. There has apparently been evidence of the existence of a Zune phone since the last update to the USB driver software. The phone will run the Tegra platform from Nvida just like the Zune HD does, so it may be the best screen you have ever seen! The idea seems that it will not be particularly a Zune phone, but a Windows Mobile phone with Zune software, much like the iPhone runs iPod software.

McDonalds goes FREE wifi
Jan 16
McDonalds announced last week (Jan .11th) that it would be offering free wifi across the board to all customers in most of it’s restaurants starting yesterday the 15th. As promised, the wifi is now open! It used to offer free wifi to iPhone/AT&T customers, but now it has opened the flood gates to all of it’s customers with a laptop or wifi enabled cell phone. Go and try out your local McDonalds and report back, 11,500 of 14,000 of their buildings have it!
So facebook quietly update their iPhone application earlier this week. What’s the major update? Contact syncing of course! It allows you to connect your iPhone contacts with your facebook friends and even download their picture from their profile! This used to cost a few bucks extra to have an un official app do this for you, but now the official app does it for freezies! Check out some screenshots below:
