Without meaning to be too much of an Apple groupie - following the Macworld Keynote, it’s only right that the new MacBook Air gets a mention. It’s quite possibly the most beautiful machine ever and practical for those business trips… OK, time to stop drooling!

Came across this site which offers protective skins for your iPhone in some fabulous designs. Go on, treat your phone!

Dopplr is one of the social networks to watch. You can do it literally, by heading over to Vitamin for an excerpt from CEO Matt Biddulph on how they added widgets and plug-ins.

Spotted a review of new liveblogging app Coveritlive.com - sounds like a useful app.

Every time we sit down at the beginning of a new Future of Web Apps planning session, we seem to ask the same question: which are the killer apps right now? Which apps are the ones that people really can’t live without?

We turned to the web to see if it had the answer - but try typing in ‘popular web apps’, ’successful web apps’, ‘most used web apps’, and the picture you get is far from conclusive.
So with that in mind, we decided to do some research of our own, and behold, the first Web App Charts

Our aim is to get a definitive idea of the most popular web apps out there - as used by real people. Please visit the site and vote for the single most wonderful web app that you use and couldn’t live without - it could be the most useful, the most brilliantly designed, the best value for money. And when you’re done, please mention it wherever you can so we can get as many votes as possible. One voter will be selected at random to win a shiny new Nintendo Wii!

The results will be announced at our next event, the Future of Web Apps Miami, 28 April - 1 March 2008.

We’ve been working hard with program chair Paul Boag to put the finish touches to the FOWD London line-up on April 17-18 2008. Registration and full details will be revealed a week today (Jan 16)!
