The MacCast

For those who have hacked their iPhone, Erica Sudun has put together another little gem of an app called Listen, that lets your iPhone identify songs that it hears playing on your radio, on the TV, or where ever.

Listen is in beta, and the version I’m using is “beta 06” which has a nicer push-button interface than initial releases, and some more useful functionality. Because it’s beta, I should say use it at your own risk—but that pretty much goes for any app you’ve installed on your hacked iPhone or iPod touch.

If you haven’t hacked your iPhone yet, directions to help you can be found here. You can download the Listen app from the Multimedia section of the iPhone Installer app, simply listed as “Listen”.

twitterpated.pngGuess it’s not good to follow too many people on Twitter. This limit seems too small to me. How do Leo, Scoble, and Calacanis manage this?

Update: Thanks to all who commented and provided feedback. Looks like this error is spawned by my Twitter client checking the server feed too often. I changed the setting and all is right with the tweets!
