Seriously trivial thoughts
In my “Demystifying the charging problems with the new Apple iPods and iPhone 3G” blog entry I explained the reason and origins of the charging problem seen with new iPods (iPhone 3G, 2nd gen Touch, and 4th gen Nano) and speaker docks. I even mentioned the Scosche PassPORT as a possible solution, though that product …
Well, I got tired of missing @replies on my Twitter feed so I added a feature to TwitKu.com that shows the last reply you received at the top of the Twitter feed.
