Dropbox App Now Available for Your iPhone
September 30th, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
Dropbox allows you to remotely back up important files so that they are not lost in case of a problem with your computer. It continuously runs in the background and whenever you add a file, remove a file or make changes to a file in your “Dropbox” folder, it syncs that file with Dropbox’s remote servers. Synced files can also be accessed from their website, even from a computer that does not have the program installed.
Dropbox now has an iPhone app that allows you to browse the files you have synced from your computer. You can access files that the iPhone supports, such as PDF files, Word documents, images and music files. In addition, images and videos can be uploaded from the iPhone, which will then be automatically synced and uploaded to your desktop computer.
Dropbox comes with 2GB of storage for free, which may be enough to store your most important files, but also has a 50GB package for $9.99 per month and a 100GB package for $19.99 per month.

iPhone Accessories Can Now Prompt for App Download
September 30th, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
Apple is reportedly allowing ‘Made For iPod’ and ‘Works With iPhone’ certified accessories to prompt the user to install an app when connected. According to iLounge this capability debuted with Griffin Technology’s new iTrip with App Support.
When connecting such an accessory to an iPhone or iPod touch for the first time, an alert box labeled “Application Not Installed” appears, informing users that the accessory requires an application which is not currently installed, and asking if they would like to install the application from the App Store. Upon acceptance, the iPhone or iPod touch then takes users to a new “For This Accessory” page on the App Store, with a direct link to the necessary app’s listing, from which they can download and install the application.
