PCalc [$9.99 - iTunes link] has 30 promo codes to give away to TiPb readers willing to help them out with a little survey. Here’s the thing: since “free apps no longer have to stay free”, and in-app purchases are now available to everyone, they’re interested in knowing just which in-app purchasable features interest YOU.
Ready? Here’s what you need to do:
- Download the free version of PCalc Lite [iTunes link]
- Try it.
- Rank the following features from the full version that you’d like to see made available as in-app purchases, in order of preference:
- More keyboard layouts with additional functions aimed at engineers and programmers.
- More themes, digit styles, and key click sounds.
- More unit conversions and constants.
- A virtual paper tape and display of memory registers.
- More advanced settings for controlling things like number of decimal places shown, thousands separators.
- Hex / octal / binary mode.
- Multi-line display and multiple memory support.
- A coupon code to save $9 on PCalc for Mac OS X.
- Suggest one cool new calculating feature they’ve inexplicably forgotten to include so far (real or fantastic).
- Email your feature ranking and new feature suggestion to survey[at]dragthing[dot]com
- Best suggestions received in the next 24 hours will get a promo code for the full version of PCalc in return. (US App Store only — Apple’s rules, not ours.)
Here’s what a sample entry would look like:
Got it? Good. Go get it and get to it!

TiPb Give Away: PCalc Wants Your Input — Has 30 Promo Codes to Prove It!
We're just about a week away from the
Orange iPhone launch, and if you folks across the pond were wondering what the deal was going to cost you, you now have your answer thanks to a dizzying but thoroughly helpful series of tables that lay out the costs of the phones, plans, and the various accoutrement to be included. Those willing to sign up for 24 months can get an 8GB iPhone 3G for free for a minimum of £29.36 ($48) per month, but step up to the £122.34 ($200) monthly plan with unlimited everything and you'll get a 32GB 3GS gratis. Meanwhile, on a pay as you go plan that same 8GB 3G will cost you £343 ($561), while the 32GB 3GS is a rather more painful £539 ($881 -- haven't you figured out the conversion rate yet?). You know what that means: contract ahoy.

Orange UK is set to break O2’s iPhone exclusivity… if not their price points with the announcement of their pay monthly, pay as you go, and for business plans.
What did we notice off the top? Depending on how much you pay on contract or up front, your iPhone hardware cost can go down to as little as free or climb to as much as £539 for an iPhone 3GS on PAYG. (Also, PAYG plans named Monkey, Dolphin, Canary, Racoon, and Camel? Where’s John Cleese to “spokesperson” that when you need him…)
Unlimited internet and Wi-Fi, however, carry a “fair usage policy of 750MB/month” proviso, which looks rather pathetic next to unofficial US caps of 5GB. Good on them for not hiding it, but placing that paltry figure anywhere close to “unlimited” probably means they shouldn’t use “unlimited” to begin with.
Not much in terms of cutting O2’s pricing though. Maybe Vodafone will feel a bit more daring?
If you’re thinking of going Orange, check out the full pricing info and let us know if it’s what you expected, better, or worse?

Command and Conquer: Red Alert for iPhone now in App Store
Take on OWLE team, add a hack into the iPhone dock connector, and what do you get? According to TechCrunch:
The latest prototype that OWLE has developed, which is different than what they start shipping tomorrow, allows you to use lenses with depth of field and telephoto effects, XLR microphones (both wired and wireless microphones), stereo microphones and more. Basically, it allows you to plug in any professional audio equipment that filmmakers use, on your iPhone. The mics are plugged in through the 30 pin, and the telephoto lens was cobbled together.
RED likely need not be fearful… yet!

We know what iPhone owners want: Rosie O'Donnell talking on their car radios from coast-to-coast. Good, 'cause the $120 XM
SkyDock is now available for purchase giving you full, touchscreen control and tagging capabilities over your in-car satellite radio. SkyDock features a built-in XM tuner and PowerConnect FM transmitter than bungs into the ol' cigarette lighter / power adapter socket to charge your Apple device while holding it in portrait or landscape modes depending on your preference. While XM keeps things simple by making the App a free download from Apple's App Store, you'll still have to thread the antenna cable along the inside of your vehicle's weather stripping in order to attach the magnetic antenna to your car's roof (just above your front windshield) for optimal results. Sounds messy.
