MobileCrunch 9:32pm by: Greg Kumparak
Last time we wrote about Notifo, we called it a "simple mobile notifications platform for anything" -- and really, that's probably the best way to describe it. Take your iPhone, install the Notifo app, hook it up to your favorite services (like Twitter, or GitHub) or any of the "Projects" (read: plugins, like Growl alert forwarding, or Chrome-to-Notifo ), an...

But hey, look at this way, now you can learn a new skill: how to make iTunes 10 ringtones free of charg...

Official Twitter iPad App Now Available

MobileContentToday 6:41pm
The official Twitter app is now available as a free download from the iPad App store. The iPad version of the Twitter app is very different from the iPhone and Android Twitter apps, appropriately so I think as it takes advantage of the iPad's larger screen. In my opinion the application really shines in landscape. Tweets appear in a timeline view in the cent...
