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.

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.

Fair Oaks teenager Allen Wright thought up an application for the Apple iPhone called “A Note to God.”

It lets iPhone users send prayers into cyberspace and allows them to read the prayers of others. The messages are stored in a database, and users remain anonymous.

Wright, 17, submitted his proposal to Medl Mobile, a Los Angeles startup that is developing apps for Apple to sell on its Web site. It selected “A Note to God” from 20,000 proposals.

With users’ permission, the social networking iPhone application Loopt will report the phone’s current location even when the software isn’t running, based on a new agreement with AT&T.

In a report from Silicon Alley Insider, Loopt cofounder Sam Altman said the always-connected feature has been the most requested from users. The service allows people to track where their friends are at any given moment, a task difficult to constantly maintain on the iPhone, which doesn’t currently allow third-party applications to run in the background.
