Traffic JamCam App

trafficcam  How about an app that let’s you peep in on live traffic cameras in major metro areas?  This iPhone app is nice enough to let you peep live traffic cameras of metro ATL’s major interstates and other problem areas; just type in a street/intersection and select your eye(s) in the sky. You can also check a zoomed-out "Map" view, upon which the status (green flags for flowing, red for stalled) of the streets is overlaid. It’s available in the appstore and called “TrafficJamCam Atlanta.”  Now we just need an app for red light cameras.

Unified Contacts List

 

images In OS4 the new Contacts app unifies these contacts so that the names on the ‘All Contacts‘ page appear only once. These listings unify contact names from your iPhone address book, MobileMe account and your corporate exchange server so that you may access all information about your contact from a single page. To access any particular contact card, you simply have to scroll down to the bottom of the contacts page and tap on the Linked Cards section.

Since this is automated, the listing is prone to errors. If you think listings are were wrongly linked. Additionally, users may also insert new contacts to a unified card by tapping on Edit -> Link Contact and choosing a contact name to link. This is especially useful if you want to group a list of users under one head.
