So apparently Apple must not take a shine to Amazon stealing its customers because ever since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, the Amazon MP3 Downloader program doesn’t automatically put downloaded MP3s in my iTunes library. Of course, it is trivial to get them in there, but it is still a little lame. Boo Apple!

Today may be a banner day in finding the perfect todo list option for me and my iPhone. Enter Google Chrome. For those of you who haven’t heard, Google has released a browser called Chrome.  It is clean, fast, and has some very interesting features that are growing more and more compelling to me all the time.

Google Chrome gives you the option of creating virtual applications out of online applications.  In reality, it is pretty simple, Google Chrome will open an online app in its own window that has the forward, back, URL, and other standard browser buttons removed.  It makes online apps feel more like apps that live on your harddrive.

Here is how Chrome and Toodledo have collided to give me a more interesting and integrated todo option. Toodledo has a very clean interface for the iPhone but their standard interface leaves a little to be desired. The great thing about Toodledo’s iPhone interface is that you can access it in a standard browser on your PC or Mac.  Here is where my head exploded…

I opened the iPhone interface of Toodledo in Google Chrome and turned it into a virtual app.  The Chrome virtual apps remember how they were sized and where they were in the window when you last closed them.

Long story short, I now have a todo widget that lives on the far left part of my workspace that stays out of the way that is always synced on my iPhone.  In other words, it is possible to use chrome to create iPhone app widgets that have their own window and live on your computer.

My contract finally ended with AT&T which means that now can and do have a brand new iPhone. I am very excited. I wasn’t eligible to buy one last year. I have had to sit on the sideline and wish. Well now baby, I am in the game.

I have only had it for a couple of days so I don’t know how I will feel about later, but right now it is super fun.

I am still getting used to the keyboard. My hope is that I will get faster at typing on it.

Gotta run… But more to come.

Apple has just upgraded the iPhone to 3G and really upgraded the price to a low $199. That sounds pretty good to me. The new phone also sports GPS and longer battery life. I would like one please.
