A frequent complaint amongst some iPhone power users is the number of steps it takes to toggle Bluetooth on and off. It takes the user four steps — Settings/General/Bluetooth/Toggle — to turn it on or off. However, a just-launched app aims to make the task much simpler.
Bluetooth OnOff launched last night and enables the toggling of Bluetooth with just a tap — or even, via a blank toggle, simply by launching the app. To do this, head to the app’s settings panel in Settings and toggle the unlabeled switch there, kill the app through the multitasking tray and relaunch it.

It’s a universal app, for iPhone and iPad — however, this sort of direct control of Bluetooth is prohibited by Apple’s iOS app guidelines and it’s unclear how long Apple will allow the app to remain on the App Store.
The iPad have transformed into excellent reading platforms, thanks to
well-designed news apps like Reeder and Flipboard. Both of these
apps are updated throughout the day as it culls links from Google
Reader, Twitter, Facebook, and other sources that you manually select.
But Zite, a recently-released iPad reading app, offers a new spin on
the formula: auto-curated personalized reading. Zite feeds you content
based on the buzz happening in your social networks, articles you’ve
read, and how you’ve rated them. Zite works surprisingly well, and
sports a very wallet-friendly price (free!), making it a news app that
every iPad owner should at least sample.
What It Is, Setup Unlike Flipboard, which simply displays your RSS
feeds and social media links in a magazine-like layout, Zite is an iPad
app that analyzes your RSS and Twitter feeds and digs up related
articles from a wide variety of sources. You don’t simply follow the
sources in your feeds as you would so with Flipboard; Zite uses them as
springboards for fetching articles with similar subject matters. As
such, it can serve as a discovery tool that lets users find cool
websites that they never knew existed…When you first fire up Zite,
you’re presented with a trio of boxes that let you sign in to Google
Reader, Twitter, and Delicious. I logged into the first two, but you
can skip this step completely and instead select content categories to
begin reading. Tapping “Next” began the page-building process.
I began my Zite reading experience on the “Top Stories” homepage. I
skimmed a list of story titles, blurbs, and thumbnail images in the
left column, and category Mac News,
Technology, Google and More.
In the right column. A featured story
stretched across the top of the page, and a “Customize” icon positioned
in the lower-right corner let me select additional categories ranging
from “World News” to “iPad.” I tailored the experience by keying terms
into the search box TV,” “Social Media,” and “Travel
Blogs,”. The last page offers you the option to “Enter Your Own”
Keyword.
Next Zite Builds Your Magazine and you are all set!!
I have only had Zite for a couple of weeks now. However so far so good.
Check back for more detailed review.

QuickCal has been one of my favorite ways to add items to iCal on the iPhone and iPad. It has became one of my most used iOS app, it allows me to add entries with blazing speed while on-the-go, as well as view all of my upcoming appointments within the app. It currently has a place on my iPhone dock for instant access. Now, QuickCal is a desktop application, available in the Mac App Store, and it has some cool new capabilities.
