This is the first firewall application for the iPhone and iPod Touch which alerts users whenever an application requires the use the internet.

The application will work in two parts: The first will use MobileSubstrate, it remains active but nonetheless provides a good overall speed, using a little amount of RAM memory. Every time you start an application the app will bring up a menu of information and find out what the app is trying to access or better yet, what details about your phone its trying to send out. You can choose to do the following:

• Allow the connection only once;
• Block the connection only once;
• Always allow the connection;
• Always lock the connection;
• Allowing any request for a specific application;
• Block any request for a specific application.

The second part of the application will be an icon with all of the settings and will allow you to change your settings for the apps you’ve already denied access to the internet if you need to do so.

We absolutely nailed this puppy to the wall over and over and over again, so it’s only fitting we’d be doing the first actual unveiling, right? We’re not going to get too in-depth though, that will come at a later time. Here are some brief thoughts before the photos:

* It’s running Android 2.0. Duh.
* It’s thin. Just slightly thicker than an iPhone 3GS and the thinnest QWERTY-slider we’ve ever seen.
* It is the fastest Android device we’ve ever used. (It’s running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
* The feel of the device is very reminiscent of the OQO 02 model computer. Just smaller. It’s metal with a non-spring-assisted slide, very sturdy, and half soft-touch plastic. Read more…

If you were Jack Dorsey, one of the co-founders and current chairman of Twitter, you’d want to think about something else big to follow up on your huge success.

While it doesn’t sound like anything groundbreaking, Dorsey’s new company Square is developing a tiny white cube (see photo above) that plugs into the headphone jack on either an iPhone or iPod touch. The cube is a credit card reader, something missing from all of those credit card apps currently in the iTunes App Store. Read more…

It’s Steven Throughton Smith once again with a new application in the works. After Stack and Orbit, he moves on to Multitasking with this new application.

The information on this isn’t much, but by the screenshot, we can already see that using a double-tap to the Home button, we will open a new screen with thumbnails of all open applications so as to quickly switch from one to another.

CEO John Lilly has announced that Mozilla will release an iPhone app to the App Store in the next few weeks. Lily revealed this information to GigaOM during an interview at the annual confab organized by students of the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.

“Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone app store in the next few weeks,” Lilly said. “It’ll surprise people.”

When asked if Weave was going to be part of the new iPhone app Lily and Jay Sullivan, Mozilla’s VP of Mobile just smiled and remained silent.

Weave is an in-development add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Its purpose is to push metadata out onto the cloud. One use is to allow users to synchronize bookmarks and browsing history across multiple computers, as demonstrated by the Weave Sync component. [W]

Apple has traditional rejected any application which could duplicate or mimic the functionality of current or future Apple apps. It may be difficult for Mozilla to get their app approved.

SMS Switcher is a new app that allows you to have multiple SMS Libraries on your iPhone.

You can quickly without any technical knowledge switch them (no reboot/respring needed). For example, you can use one library to chat with your lover and the general library to chat with your fiance. SMS (and MMS) are saved and read from the active library (you can have only one library active at a time).

SMS Switcher by Chris is available from the Big Boss Cydia repository.
