Net Scan iPhone app -- Installed

Net Scan

This app rocks!

This application has some decent configurability. I was able to scan the whole range of my home network (which contains over 10 hosts), getting details similar to a default scan using NMap.

The app costs $0.99. I got the app based on the recommendation of a friend and I played with his install of it a bit. The fact that I pulled the trigger on this app when I never buy iPhone apps speaks for itself!

iPhone firmware v3.1.2 is available

See "Apple iPhone Software now v3.1.2" article at PCWorld

I've no idea when v3.1.2 was released but I've never needed an update so badly.

My phone has been going comatose since I installed v3.1. During this time, I've also had cellular network issues. I'd have to restart the phone every couple of days. I'd miss calls because I couldn't tell when the phone was comatose until maybe 6 hrs with no e-mails and/or texts.

So, today, I decided to check for an update and v3.1.2 was queued up. I've installed it, along with an iWorks and iTunes update.

We'll see how things go.
