There are times that you suddenly get nothing great to say. And one of the times that you dread this mental block syndrome is when you are in the company of people who are verbally talkative and looking for great things to talk about. Well now, just pull out your iPhone and get great ideas to talk about with this new app from Sax.net called iDaily.

“iDaily makes your casual conversations more interesting and engaging,” said Mike Sax, founder of Sax.net, “The combination of the iPhone and iDaily make talking about the weather seem so 2008.”

Every 24 hours, iDaily shows updated information about the current day: birthdays of celebrities ; important events on this day in history ; nature facts, including the time the sun rises/sets and the current phase of the moon ; and a quote of the day.

iDaily is now available at the iTunes App Store for download. Never let a good idea slip out of your mind and maybe impress a friend or two with your so-called memory jargons!

After acknowledging that iPhone overheating issue and providing guidelines to help you deal with it, Apple is now claiming that the phone is getting hotter and hotter because of the weather. That excuse is pretty lame people! We’d like to be treated like responsible adults and get a proper explanation. The iPhone is not the perfect phone out there so we’re not surprised it has flaws. It had flaws from the beginning but it still managed to become a hit phone. Sure it’s hot outside now and the weather could contribute to that overheating problem, but what will happen in a few months when the temperature outside will drop significantly? Will the iPhone freeze in winter? How’s your new iPhone 3GS treating you? Is it really hot?

In short, your task is to restore order and bring the forest back to life!

Hot iPhone apps are easy to spot. They are normally the ones which are downloaded by most people once they get to the Apple App Store. But if you talk about seeing 500,000 downloads in just 40 days, you have to agree that there is something about the app that makes it hot!

Rock Your Phone announced today users of its service downloaded over 500,000 applications in the first 40 days of operations. The new service allows customers to trial and purchase applications that extend and enhance the current iPhone capabilities beyond what is available via the Apple iPhone App Store.

Rock Your Phone created the first full-service alternative iPhone App Store to distribute pioneering applications. “We allow developers to use their full creativity to develop applications, rather then tip-toe through a restrictive and vague approval process. IntelliScreen, which is not allowed in the Apple App Store, enables users to glance at their iPhone and view a summary of current emails, text messages, calendar, news, sports, and weather on the lock screen. While the iPhone is a great entertainment device, when it’s time for business, users prefer the productivity and efficiency that IntelliScreen provides.” said Mario Ciabarra, Chief Technology Officer and company founder.

With free 10-day trials on every application, Rock Your Phone stands behind its service with a love-it or leave-it attitude. Rock Your Phone’s current catalog of only 9 applications has pursued quality applications, rather then quantity. Ciabarra said, “We’re focused on delivering innovative applications that solve business problems. With a ‘try before you buy’ policy, applications that don’t deliver simply don’t make sense for our platform.”

The Rock Your Phone catalog already contains features that Apple intends to provide in the next major release of the iPhone, including cut and paste and landscape text messaging.

WeatherBug announced a web app optimized for iPhone and iPod touch devices, giving users access to streaming weather conditions as well as the ability to view daily-updated video weathercasts. The weather app already available on the iPhone is nice, but the WeatherBug app gives much more information. Apart from a 7-day forecast, you get camera images from WeatherBug’s network of tracking stations. You can also set a variety of locations for multiple cities and scroll through current conditions and even live camera images for each one.

WeatherBug claims that its weather info is unmatched when it comes to the depth and granularity of information. I’m pretty sure the app runs happily on the Nokia N95 as well, just so you know you don’t have to buy an iPhone to use it.

If you want to see it in action, visit the Moscone Convention Center at the CTIA 2007 between October 23-25, 2007.
