Reviewed: Tom Bihn Organizer Pouches
It never fails that when I pack my gear, there are always small items which will sift to the bottom of my bag’s cavernous pockets. This doesn’t even take into account all of the times when I have needed a particular something, and no matter how neatly I thought I had it packed, I couldn’t find it when it was time. Well, no more.
Tom Bihn makes a variety of Organizer Pouches, and I think that it would be safe to assume that there is something for everyone. Let’s take a look…

Apple Blocks Podcaster Ad-hoc Distribution
I caught this during the morning site run over at iPhone Alley.

As if their app distribution practices weren’t unpopular enough, Podcaster developer Alex Sokirynsky wrote in a blog post that has already been removed [...]
I caught this during the morning site run over at iPhone Alley. In what feels (to me) as the ultimate B-slap, Apple has blocked the ad-hoc distribution of Alex Sokirynsky’s rejected application, Podcaster.
As if their app distribution practices weren’t unpopular enough, Podcaster developer Alex Sokirynsky wrote in a blog post that has already been removed (probably because it violated his NDA) that Apple has cut him off from distributing any more legitimate copies of Podcaster though their ad hoc distribution method.
