Shriya travelled to India on Monday and this was a great chance for me to put the Flight Track iPhone app through its paces and share it with you.

Flight Track iPhone apps lets you track your flights easily. It is available in 2 versions Flight Track and Flight Track Pro at $4.99 and $9.99 respectively.

To start tracking a flight, you just enter the Airline, flight # and the date of travel to start tracking the flight.

If you booked your flight online, you can just forward your travel itinerary to plans@tripit.com and you will automatically see your full itinerary in Flight Track Pro without reentering all the flight info.

Flight Track Pro Features

• Track flight itineraries without retyping flight info
• Push notifications for flight status
• View live flight maps with weather radar
• Flight delay prediction with FAA warnings for airports
• Review weather and forecast to predict delays
• Search international flight status
• Tap to tweet a flight’s status
• Speed, altitude and weather for saved flights in US airspace

As Shriya was flying across the world, I was watching the flights make its way from Chicago to Frankfurt and then from Frankfurt to Chennai. I also received Push notification when the flight landed and I exactly knew when Shriya reached India.

Flight Track Pro was simple and easy to use although for the price you might feel like it is a little lacking in features. Then again I am not sure what else I would like to see besides this information.

If you are not a frequent traveler, the Flight Track app without the Pro features like Push notifications, TripIt integration, etc would probably suffice for you.

For the sky warrior, Flight Track Pro could be an indispensable tool on the iPhone with all kinds of useful flight information at the fingertips.

If you travel very infrequently, you might want to check out the FlightStats.com which has an iPhone optimized website. You can get basic flight status info for free here.

Flight Track Pro – Push Alerts & TripIt Integration

SimplyTweet has been my favorite iPhone Twitter app. You can check out my SimplyTweet review here.

SimplyTweet is one of the premium iPhone Twitter apps with Push notifications enabled. It is feature-packed and hasn’t let me down ever since I started using it. The developer has been pretty active pushing out updates with new features as well as bug fixes.

SimplyTweet version 2.4 is now available in App Store with the following

• Allow forced refresh in content pickers
• When displaying photos from the result of photo search, the original tweet can now be opened.
• Add button to toggle scope search bar
• Change syntax of links appended from – saving couple of characters
• Multiple drafts – notes can also be used as drafts for tweets and DMs!
• Add support for configuring buttons on swipe menu
• Add favoriting button option to swipe menu
• Add retweet as option for swipe menu
• Add timestamp format d.M
• Add option to disable landscape mode
• When choosing to block/unblock account, there is now an option to report an account as spam
• Bug fixes

I am really looking forward to using the Multiple Drafts functionality. Plus, I am going to configure the swipe action to RT as I do a lot of that!

I know Tweetie iPhone twitter app gets a lot of coverage but SimplyTweet is one of those hidden gems in AppStore. You won’t be disappointed and you can read more about SimplyTweet features here.

If you wanted a feature-rich iPhone Twitter app with Push Notifications, look no further! SimplyTweet also has a FREE lite version that you could try out and see if you like it.

SimplyTweet 2.4 is Available Now with Multiple Drafts

You remember GeoHot? He was the 18 y/o kid who was the first to unlock the first gen iPhone back in 2007. More recently, GeoHot released PurpleRa1n, which was the first jailbreak method for the iPhone 3GS running OS 3.0. In other words, the kid is a little genius…

Lucky for us, GeoHot is back at it and this time, he decided that just jailbreaking the iPhone 3GS was not challenging enough so he took on the task to release a tool that will jailbreak all iDevices: iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch 1G, 2G, and 3G.

In a blog post called “Meet the Family”  (see picture above), GeoHot says it all in just a few words: “And prepare to meet the program that will jailbreak them all.”

This great new comes just a few days after the Dev Team released its own jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS 3.1 and iPod Touch 2G 3.1.1; a jailbreak which still prevents iPhone 3GS users to jailbreak if they updated their iPhones to 3.1 without pwning it first. This is obviously a big problem for many users who had updated to 3.1 and are now stuck there without being able to jailbreak (even though there are some tricky workarounds).

GeoHot doesn’t have a name for the tool yet. We actually don’t know much about what it will do besides that we know it will “jailbreak them all”. Will it work on both Mac and PC? We don’t know but I do think it will.

The big question is “when”. When will this tool be released? GeoHot said on Twitter he’s got an ETA of 2 days. I really can’t wait to see what he’s got up his sleeves and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

As usual, I will keep you updated as the news come. You can always refer to our jailbreak section for the most up-to-date info on jailbreaking.

Isn’t that some good news?

One of the most awaited apps – Dropbox for iPhone has landed in App Store.
