I have an iPhone and my son has an iPod Touch. Until recently, we’ve been frustrated by our inability to share apps that one of us buys. Fortunately, we’ve since figured out how to share apps without re-buying them, and it doesn’t even violate the iTunes user agreement.

Have you ever wondered where Mac OS X stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place…
To find your apps on your Mac hard drive, simply navigate to:
~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Inside the “Mobile Applications” folders, you’ll see a ton of .ipa files. These are your mobile apps. Curious as to why you might need this info? Check out my article about how to share iPhone or iPod apps between multiple users.
Have you ever wondered where Windows stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place… Note that the following assumes you are using Windows XP. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc.

When I got my iPhone, it was love at first use. Aside from that pesky dark spot on the camera lens, I’ve only had a few minor complaints. One of the most frustrating has been the apparent lack of a caps lock function on the virtual keyboard.
We’re huge fans of importing CD audiobooks into iTunes. From there, we either listen to them on an iPod/iPhone or burn CDs for listening in the car. Today, I thought I’d share my preferred settings for importing audiobook CDs to iTunes.
Have you ever wished you could delete podcasts directly from your iPhone, without having to synchronize with iTunes? I have, and a week or so ago I figured out how to do this. Here’s the scoop…
I just noticed that certain phone numbers haven’t been making it over from Google Contacts to my iPhone. As I’ve noted previously, I’m using Google Sync (plus a couple of workarounds) to integrate my MacBook Pro, Google Apps, and iPhone. After a bit of investigation, I discovered the problem…
Shortly after getting my iPhone 3Gs, I decided to move my online life into Google Apps. One of the driving forces behind this decision has been exceptionally bad spam filtering by the e-mail server at work. It’s so bad, in fact, that I’ve become very dependent on client-side filtering*. Unfortunately, the iPhone mail client isn’t capable of filtering spam, so I was often getting spam in my inbox when checking mail remotely.
Have you ever noticed that the iPhone shrinks your photos when you e-mail them? I’m guessing that this limitation is AT&T’s fault, but wherever you place the blame, it’s annoying. The iPhone 3Gs is capable of shooting 3 megapixel photos, so who wants them arbitrarily downsized to 800 x 600 when e-mailing them? Not me. The good news is that it’s easy to avoid this problem and send full-resolution photos.
About two weeks ago, I ordered a new iPhone 3Gs form our local AT&T store. It arrived surprisingly quickly (within two business day) and I rushed over to pick it up. Once they activated it, I tested it out and everything seemed to be working well, so I headed home.
