Introducing MKSync – iPhone App for Syncplicity

September 11th, 2009 by Mugunth Kumar

For the past 2 or 3 months, I’ve been busy developing a product, which I’m announcing now. It’s called as MKSync and it’s a iPhone client for Syncplicity.

The product is in its early release phase and I intend to  submit it to AppStore by this month end. Currently I’m looking for beta testers. I’m looking for around 10-20 beta testers. As and when needs arise, I might increase the limit. I would prefer people who will be interested in testing the app’s second and third versions as well.

As of version 1, the most important features include, sharing files via email and the ability to browse and view downloaded files on iPhone without an active Internet connection. These features are illustrated in the screencast below.

For those who don’t know, what is Syncplicity, please read it’s wikipedia entry. It’s a cloud based, online backup and sync service, that works seamlessly behind the scenes to synchronize your data across computers simultaneously backing up to the cloud. Long gone are the days when you carried a USB drive around to keep your data in Sync. Apart from just syncing PCs, it can sync your google docs documents with your PC, keep your facebook albums in sync with your photos and much more…

SingTel BBoM iPhone App (SG BBOM)

July 14th, 2009 by Mugunth Kumar

SG BBoM iPhone App is designed specifically for use with SingTel mobile broadband plans. The rationale behind this development is, SingTel doesn’t send you an SMS or alery when your mobile broadband data charges over shoot the free limit. Overshooting the free limit even by a 100MB could cost your dearly.

According to SingTel


Excess usage will be charged at $0.01/2KB. Which means, a megabyte of data, (1024KB) will cost you about 5$.

To give you a analogy, a newyork times webpage will be around 500KB. Browse 10 such pages, you end up paying your soul to $ingTel.

SingTel already provides a web interface to check your data usage

http://home.singtel.com/bbmobile/datausage.asp

But because it’s not a light weight page, many of us don’t bother to check our data usage everyday.

Now here comes a handy little app to check your Broadband Usage on the Go on your iPhone.

Checkout more about this app on it’s page. SG BBOM.

Note: This app is still under review by Apple. Will update this blog once it’s done.

Update: 5th August 2009: Apple has approved this app… Click here for the app. SingTel BBOM (iTunes Link)

Download Wallpapers from Bing

June 19th, 2009 by Mugunth Kumar

Ah… Bing… Wonderful product from Microsoft IMO.


I always wanted to save the wallpapers/images that appears on the front page of Bing.com to my local PC. But visiting the site everytime and saving it was cumbersome.

So I thought of writing my own C# utility that could do that job for me.

The utility is just 10KB (yeah Kilo Byte) is open source, free from any kind of obligations. But if you use it in your app, I would be happy if you could attribute me though attribution is not mandatory.

Here is a link to the codeplex hosted project.
