Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"taptaptap, Tapbots, and Macheist have released a very well-designed calculator app for the iPhone and iPad called Calcbot -- it's available for 99 cents right now on the App Store."

Yes, we have another calculator app. This one is from the folks that make Weightbot [affiliate link] and Convertbot [affiliate link], and while Calcbot costs $0.99 USD [affiliate link] for a limited time only, what you also get is a universal app for your iPhone or iPad. On top of that, Macheist is doing a promo so if you spread the word about Calcbot on Facebook, they will give you a free copy of Socialite for Mac. Socialite is a program to manage all of your social networking. A $29.00 USD program that you can get free for posting on Facebook? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, if it's something you can use of course.

"Social networking site Facebook has released version 3.1 of its official application for the iPhone and iPod touch."

The app, free in the iTunes App Store, is available now and has added the option for Push Notifications for friend requests, wall posts and comments among other things. It also gives you the option to sync Facebook with your address book contacts. This really is a well done app, although recently I've had problems viewing pictures on it. So I'm hoping this will fix that problem as well.
