Makes No Sense At All

Under the flag of moop.me I’ve recently been cooperating with some guys on a new iPhone application named iNap. This uses the location services on the iPhone 3G to alert you during your travel when you are approaching your destination.

This handy application is available from in the AppStore now.

Some people seem to be surprised that the MPoD screenshots on iTunes say ‘T-Mobile’. Well, in the Netherlands T-Mobile has the exclusive rights to the iPhone, so these images are not from a jailbroken iPhone.

For a developer, some of the reviews and 1* ratings on the AppStore are actually very discouraging: unsubstantiated hints of illegal practices, people who are apparently to dumb to read or understand what’s written in the description and then question the usefulness or functioning of an application :-(.

It took some time, but finally version 1.0 of RitMeester has been released. In the Netherlands, when you have a lease-car the tax authorities will add up to 25% of the car value to your gross salary. If you use your car for personal travel less than 500 kilometers per year, you can get a ‘Verklaring geen privé gebruik’ from the tax authorities. Condition is that you maintain detail records of all car travel.

RitMeester is the first Mac based program that helps you to keep a detailed and consistent administration, with minimum effort. All details required by the tax authorities are stored, and you’re only a few clicks away from creating a printed version of your administration when needed.

RitMeester is available in Dutch only, and can now be downloaded as a trial version. Once you are convinced of the benefits it provides you, you can upgrade to the full version for €17.50.

Version 1.1.1 of MPoD is available in the AppStore. This is a minor bugfix that prevents the startup crash in case you have upgraded from a previous version.

It doesn’t add any new functionality, so if the previous version runs fine for you there is no need to upgrade, allthough it won’t hurt either.
