Update to A World of iPhone Links

Sunday, April 27, 2008

Time for another update to A World of iPhone Links. I sort through the hundreds of iPhone-friendly sites so you don’t have to, giving you only the best. A star represents an Art of the iPhone favorite.

Small Earth

SmallStarAOL TV Listings - Terrific TV guide site for your iPhone. One time set up. Enter in your zip code and your cable company (or local broadcast), and whenever you revisit the site, it shows what’s on tonight. Very well done. A definite bookmark.

Astrotruth - Astrology romance compatibility site. Find out if your sign is compatible with your significant other’s. If not, break up. The iPhone commands it.

IMDb.com (unofficial) - Movie database optimized for the iPhone.

iNascar - Nascar race results, news, track stats, etc. Gentlemen, start your iPhones.

Internet Speed Test - Test your iPhone’s download speeds. Does it feel like you’re living in the days of dial up? Find out for sure.

Mineral Database - Got rocks on your brain? Turn your iPhone into the ultimate geology tool. Tons of information for geologists and students of the earth sciences.

MyNetDiary Food and Excercise Log - Keep a health diary. Track your calories and excercise with information stored in the cloud. Lose weight with your iPhone.

Pubget - Search engine for medical journal and science articles. Medical researchers know about Pubmed. Well, Pubget is a refined version of Pubmed’s search engine. Whereas Pubmed leads you through a maze to get to source material, Pubget leads you straight to a pdf of the article–if it’s publicly available. Very cool and useful for the medically inclined.

RiddlerX - Riddle me this: what website features random riddles and too many ads? Tap to find out.

Free Starbucks WiFi for Your iPhone (With Starbucks Card)

Friday, April 18, 2008

Starbucks iPhone-friendly login screen

*Update* WiFi access is now totally free (no Starbucks Card needed) for AT&T Wireless/iPhone users.

AT&T has begun replacing T-Mobile as the WiFi provider for Starbucks. They are offering 2 hours of free WiFi to owners of a Starbucks Card. They even have a nice iPhone- and iPod Touch-friendly login page.

What is a Starbucks Card? It’s simply a gift card with a few perks. Besides the free 2 hours of WiFi, you also get free syrup and milk options for your beverage, free brewed coffee refills, and a free tall beverage when you purchase Starbucks coffee beans. Starbucks Cards start at $5 and have a minimum reloading amount of $5.

Starbucks Card gets you free WiFi for 2 hours

Additional Wifi access can be purchased once your two hours have elapsed. It will cost $3.99 for every 2 hours of access. Unlimited access is available for $19.99 a month, and you also can use any of AT&T’s 70,000 WiFi access points throughout the world. Access to Starbucks and other AT&T Wifi spots will be free to AT&T broadband customers (DSL, etc.). I am an AT&T DSL customer, so I’m excited about this. Click here to find all the AT&T WiFi access locations near you.

A Starbucks barista in downtown Chicago informed me that AT&T will be coming to Chicago in the next couple months, and the roll out across the country should be near complete by the end of the year.
