Dropbox drops onto the iPhone
Dropbox, the über-slick cloud storage and backup app, now has an iPhone version. You can use the iPhone app to get to your Dropbox on the go, sync media files from your phone to your Dropbox, and share links. You'll need a free Dropbox account - which comes with 2 gigs of storage space - to use the iPhone app, but you can sign up directly from your iPhone.The iPhone app works with Dropbox's photo gallery feature, so it's easy to upload and view photos on the go. You can also download any of your stored files that you can view on an iPhone, which strikes me as pretty darn brilliant: now, instead of just using Dropbox to back up your computer, you can use it to back up all the media on your phone, too.
If you're away from a computer and your iPhone's music and photos get wiped, they'll still be safely waiting for you in your Dropbox.
Update: Although you can obviously store music (and anything else) on your Dropbox account, there's not actually a way to sync music to your iPhone via Dropbox. Oops. Photos and videos definitely work, though.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Where do you see anything about backing up the music on your ipod? I only see the option to upload existing photos or videos. As far as I know, the only way to actually access the music files on your iTouch/iPhone is to jailbreak it.

Um...it's already in the iTunes Music folder on your computer?

"If you're away from a computer and your iPhone's music and photos get wiped, they'll still be safely waiting for you in your Dropbox."
This is what I though was misleading, but Jay corrected it:

Still a great app, I'm a huge fan of Dropbox

Just to let everyone know that your iPhone needs to be running 3.1 for this app to work.
I am running 3.0 and I got an message that I couldn't download the app as I was not running 3.1.

Gotta admit Dropbox is incredibly awesome. :)
Plug incoming: if anybody reading this doesn't have an account yet, feel free to use my referral - in fact it's recommended since you'll get 250mb bonus space (as will I, so it's a win-win):
