PowerDock
Ahh… what will they think of next?
“Available in two- or four-dock models, the charging station is designed for nerdy families like mine with multiple iPods, or perhaps just gadget freaks. It supports most every flavor of iPod and iPhone, with adapter inserts included, and it’s made of brushed metal which is always a lovely choice.
No word on a street date, but presumably it’s still on schedule for a release this month. The two-dock version will run $49.99 and the four-dock version will be $69.99.”

Pedia Crazy
In addition to the rather famous Wikipedia, there are others in the -pedia space… my favorites are Dealipedia and Congresspedia.
Dealipedia breaks down who made what on a given business deal… for example, who made money when CBS bought Last.fm.
Congresspedia brings crowd-sourcing to political watchdogging… read or contribute to what your local congressperson has been up to.

Learning the iPhone
The best way to learn how to use the iPhone is to watch the videos on Apple’s website:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/guidedtour/
http://www.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/guidedtourupdate2/
That will make you aware of all the features that are on the phone. There are more that might also be interesting, just look at the bottom of the window when these are done playing…

You Send It
I’m pretty impressed with You Send It, a web based way to send big files to people. Their basic service is free, and quite handy.

Backup Software
I’ve been pretty happy with mozy as an intermediate backup solution. It gives me automatic backups in the background to an offsite, secure location.
Basically I have mozy running a backup of my Outlook and Firefox profile — stuff that changes every day. Then on the weekends I back everything up to a USB hard drive at home.
You get 2gb for free, or an unlimited amount of storage if you sign up for a $6/mo plan.
Use this link, and we both get a nice little 256mb bump in our quotas if you sign up for the free account:
