Nemus Sync
The iPod Touch has become my most valuable piece of technology.   Last week I added this gem from Nemustech. Nemus Sync is a free utility that syncs Google Calendar with the Touch’s built-in calendar. Syncing works in both directions.
You have to jailbreak your Touch before you can add this utility. About a month after I bought my Touch I watched a couple of videos on YouTube and found easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
The average person can probably get by just fine with the built-in functionality of the Touch now that POP and IMAP email are included. Some of my jailbreak additions include Wikipedia and Mobile Twitter which I use on a daily basis.Â
If you do jailbreak your Touch, don’t do the automatic updates of the firmware. I turned those off a long time ago. I think it was the day I got the following message from Apple:
There is an upgrade for iTunes. It’s called Safari. Would you like to install it?
I had a flashback to 1996 when everyone was trying to get you to install “their” browser. I don’t understand how Apple can do something like this and it goes mostly unnoticed. If Microsoft were to try to push a browser out to an OS X machine that was upgrading a media player, it would be all over the tech news.
I’m not about to drink the Kool-Aid.

Smule has developed an application, Ocarina, that allows iPhone users to literally play their iPhone like a flute. This app is truly another reason that makes the iPhone wanted so much, among so many apps available for it, Ocarina is only available for the Apple iPhone, and nothing points to Smule making it available a on any other platform, any time soon. Check out the app in action below.

[...] lose a few things and two of them I really miss. First and foremost (and almost a deal breaker) is Nemus Sync. This app sync’ed my Google Calendar with the iPod Calendar. It is bi-directional and there [...]

hi Alvin, have you heard of using Google Wave as a collaborative tool for education? I am using it at university to take notes collaboratively with other students, in real time. You can see a video of our experiment here: http://edume.me/?p=285
