Starting today, you can buy ShoveBox along with 9 other great apps for just $49 in the MacBundleBox promotion.

This is really a great bundle, especially for those looking to become more productive on their Mac. Between ShoveBox, Mental Case, Process, and 1Passwd in particular, you’re pretty much guaranteed to save lots of time and money from a bundle like this one. Not to mention the others!

And it’s an honor to see ShoveBox aside an app like GraphicConverter, one I remember fondly using on my very first computer!

A huge thanks goes to the brave ShoveBox Beta Squad and the MacThemes community for helping guide its development and refinement.

Today I’m happy to announce that the iPhone and iPod Touch version of Otis is finally out. Now you don’t have to wait until you get back to your Mac to get your fix!

Take a look at the demo movie — this version has much-improved graphics and takes full advantage of Core Animation and the iPhone’s version of OS X.

The iPhone version of the game costs $3.99 USD on the iTunes App Store, while the Mac version remains freeware. It runs on both iPhone and iPod Touch devices with a version 2.0 OS.

Wonder Warp is participating in a new Mac shareware promotion called Make Your Own Mac Mix. For the next couple weeks, you can make your own bundle of Mac shareware apps and get up to 75% off the normal price!

PhoneFinger, my freeware iPhone testing tool, has been sighted in a few demo videos for iPhone apps that have just been released:

• Demo videos for all of Ambrosia Software’s new games: Aki Mahjong, Mondo Solitaire, and Mr. Sudoku
• Comixology
• uLocate’s WHERE demo video, naturally.

Have you seen it in the wild anywhere else? Let me know!

uLocate Communications, a Boston-area startup I’ve been involved with since early 2008 has just released WHERE for the iPhone.

WHERE is a location-based application that runs a number of "widgets" to do anything from show you what events are going on around you to help you identify constellations.

My largest contribution to the product was the map interface. Apple doesn’t yet allow third-party developers to use the MapKit framework used in the Google Maps application, so I had to write a clone, entirely from scratch.

Unfortunately, after only about a week of development on the map, I was injured and had to take time off. But with a few Skype calls, everyone was up and running back in Boston, and pulled through to 1.0.

Congrats to everyone on the uLocate crew!

ShoveBox 1.2.1 is a small bug update fixing an embarrassing bug that cropped up recently where the ‘Undo’ command didn’t work in text note windows.

You can get it here or through autoupdate.
