I’ve been waiting for a dual slider implementation from YUI (Yahoo product). This is an amazing utility with cross browser support (Grade A - C). I’ve implemented few of those controls and they are really great and performing well. Thumbs up for YUI developers.

I found this simple site where i can convert any JPEG, GIF, PNG or BMP into ICO or other formats mentioned above. It’s cool. I don’t need to struggle with BillG anymore.

Looks like Apple is preparing for a new update over this weekend. The rumored features are Disk mode and Voice Capture. These will be great features to add it to a Phone. Basically, you should be able to throw your Jump drives which you carry around these days to store your personal files and other things. That way, one less thing from your keychain. It’s great to have Voice capture on the phone. Now you can throw the voice recorder you may carry around these days.

Finally these two great features hit the iPhone, it will add more value and market for Chrismas gift givers. Hopefully, they will support in their SDK to customize these features.

I am not sure whether they can get File Browser for the personal files you store it with. Let’s see in 2 days !!!
