iPhone iSwap (iPhone Application)

Author release notes:

Okay, so I was getting too many apps on my iPhone to hold on just one screen so I wrote a little script to swap out the home screen to a second screen. If anyone is interested in d/l-ing the file I put it up here: http://www.4shared.com/file/21853681/38fdea63/iSwap.html. BTW, after trying to figure it out for a while I found out how to launch a shell script from an icon (which is what I’m doing in this app). I’ll post another entry explaining how if anyone is interested.

iPhoneeBooks (iPhone Application)

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Eventually, this project will include a simple method of syncing eBooks to your iPhone. At the moment, that’s handled by iPHUC and a shell script (eventually).

Books.app is recommended for use with Project Gutenberg texts, in conjunction with GutenMark, a fantastic PG markup tool by Ronald Burkey, which makes pretty HTML out of Gutenberg .txt files, and splits them by chapter using a second tool.
