Walmart iPhone probably happening, probably not for $99
We've been hearing rumors of an iPhone at Walmart for a while now, and the only thing that was even mildly interesting about the unlikely pairing was that there was supposedly going to be a $99 4GB model. Well, now we hear that they'll indeed be selling the phone, but (as the ad above would seem to indicate) it's going to be a $197 8GB model -- about 2 bucks cheaper than you can get them for at an Apple or AT&T store, with no mention of a 4GB version at all. So, you're telling us we're going to be able to get this phone for (almost) exactly the same price as before, but now we can buy it at a store where we can also pick up Slim-Fast in bulk and possibly die in a retail trampling? We'll pass.

Filed under: Accessories, iPhone, iPod touch
When we first wrote about the promising Livespeakr, the creator was still looking for a manufacturing partner. According to the Livespeakr website, pre-orders for the ultra-portable speaker system are now being accepted.
Just to refresh our memories, the Livespeaker is a speaker cradle that holds the iPhone/iPod. The speakers are protected against RF (radio frequency) noise, so you can enjoy pristine audio without the cell signal getting in the way. The speakers will expand, rotate, and contract to fit movie/Cover Flow viewing angles, and will fit in your pocket. The speakers are powered by rechargeable batteries, or AC adapter.
You can find more information about the speakers on the Livespeakr website. On the store page, you can pre-order the speakers for $99.99US in either black or white. The price is discounted by $30US for the first 2,000 orders. Pricing will return to $129.99US after the 2,000 orders have been placed. Availability is expected around January 26, 2009.

Pano version 2.0: even more widescreen goodness
Filed under: Software, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch
Pano, a panorama photo app for iPhone we reviewed back in October, has been updated to version 2.0.
What's in the update of the $2.99 app (click opens iTunes) from Debacle Software?
- The ability to make panoramas of up to 6 individual pictures (version 1.0 maxed out at 4 pics)
- New stitching algorithms and color correction that resolve the dark bars that sometimes appeared at the "seams" between photos
- A new portrait mode
- Better memory management for more stability
- Reduced processing time when merging photos
Pano 2.0 was supposed to ship with a new icon, but the icon police at Apple apparently had issues with the updated design.
If you already own Pano, be sure to download the update to take advantage of the nifty new features. Debacle Software is hosting a panorama contest in the near future with lots of fabulous prizes, and featuring several TUAW bloggers as impartial and unbiased judges. Start taking those panorama shots soon!

The iPhone Blog Week in Review for December 08, 2008
Every week I will be bringing you what I think are the week’s biggest stories and articles. Let’s get started, after the break!
This is cool! Now there is another awesome streaming service besides YouTube for the iPhone; Joost! This service offers TV shows and more… plus it is free. What is the downside? Wi-Fi only. Well, I was excited…
Google Calendar, now easier to setup in iCal
Before you has to enter the settings manually, now they give you a simple app to set up. I love Google almost as much as Apple. Now, if Google would only start to make some native apps of their productivity tools like Blogger, Docs…
Who doesn’t want one. However, I am not sure I am willing to pay for it. My vote, $400+ bones.
Review: Maximo Metal Isolation Headset
Brian serves up another review! Not everyone likes the Apple headphones (really?) So if you are looking for an in-ear solution, this might be the one for you! Different sized ear buds too!
Yes, Apple’s long awaited new headset is here. The part I don’t get is why the volume controls don’t work on the iPhone??? My guess? They will in a future iPhone firmware update.
Well, it is about time Apple! Developers now can give out up to 50 promo codes to anyone (like me perhaps?) to do reviews or beta test software. Way to go Apple!
Look no further than iTunes to tell you the top music, movies, TV shows, apps and games for your iPhone/iPod. There is some good stuff here, so check it out!
Well, I am not a sports guy, but if you are, you will definitely want to check out Brian’s latest App v. App: Sportacular versus SportsTap! Who wins? You will have to read to find out!
Turn Wi-Fi on when the cellular radio is off!
No joke! This is simple and not a hack! Argh… why didn’t I ever think of trying this…OK, no comments please…
I love developers and listening to what they have to say about the iPhone. This latest interview is with David Perry Didev (previously of Shiny, for those of us that remember…)
Whoa, $99, 4GB iPhone at Walmart?
Well, if AT&T’s network can handle the existing volume of iPhones on AT&T’s network, why not just open the flood gate and add a couple million more, eh?
What? Apple fan-boys are not the only crazy ones?
Well, David Pogue seems to think that the the BlackBerry crowd just might be! Well, I mean when you call the latest flagship BlackBerry a big pile of poo…
Review: PDA Skins Horizontal Case Organizer
Brian is unstoppable this week! If headphones weren’t enough, he reviews a cool side pouch case. To be honest, the side pouch case is one of my favorite designs. How did Brian like it? Read on to find out!
Apple has 10,000 apps in the App Store
Wow. In less than three months. Hmm, well let’s see, Apple has the most advanced mobile computing platform, easy development tools, a solid distribution model… makes sense to me!
Forum Review: Brothers in Arms: Hour of Heroes
This game is awesome! I bough it day one. Not much else to say on this.

FileChute to the rescue for sending large files
Filed under: Software, Cool tools, Internet Tools, Reviews, .Mac, iPhone, MobileMe, App Store
FileChute from Yellow Mug Software has been kicking around for awhile, but has been pretty much under 
the radar for most people. Some of our readers mentioned it when we reviewed YouSendIt last January. FileChute is powerful because it can send any size file, as long as you have space on your iDisk, FTP site, or WebDAV web server.
Using FileChute is a really simple operation. Just drag a large file (or a small one) to a target on the application and it uploads that file, allowing you to specify if you want to zip it and provide a short URL. FileChute will automatically create an email with the URL in it, ready to send to anyone. I take a lot of astronomical images, and they won't fit in an email at their native size. So when I want to share the high quality versions, onto FileChute they go and the person I send them to only has to click on a URL to download the file, or see it displayed in a browser, depending on what type of file you have sent. You can send applications, movie files, anything really.
Before Leopard came out Apple was making some noise about providing a similar feature in Mobile Me, but it never appeared, and in the messy launch of Mobile Me I think it was forgotten.
Recently, Yellow Mug added an iPhone and iPod touch version of the application, and it can see your files stored on the web server of your choice, and initiate a file transfer just as if you were sitting at your desktop or laptop mac. It's free for FileChute owners.
Sure, there are lots of ways to transfer files, but this application makes it drop dead easy. I find myself using it several times a week. It's the kind of thing that should be built into the Mac OS, but you can have the feature now for less than 20 bucks.

$99 Wal-Mart iPhone Seems Unlikely
Last week, Boy Genius Report cited an unconfirmed source that Wal-Mart may begin selling a 4GB iPhone for only $99. Based on available Wal-Mart training materials and advertising (pictured above), however, it seems that this rumor i...
