I was having trouble figuring out what input type brings up what keyboard on the iPhone and iPad. Turns out the number type doesn’t bring up the numeric pad. Only “tel” does.
This is a great article on what input type brings up what keyboard:
When your input is surrounded by a form tag, the keyboard will show a blue “Go” button. Otherwise it will show a regular return button.

This is an app I wanted to do for a while, but never got around to actually doing it. The app lets you find your friends on a map. You can request to temporarily or permanently follow a friend. Once your friend accepts, you can see where they are. A benefit of this for me is if someone is coming to pick me up or we are both at a large crowded event, we can spot each other. In my one day of using this however, the location of my friend and sometimes myself is not very accurate. In a matter of minutes, my friend jumped from one house to another to an onramp. Find My Friends is available in the App Store for the iOS 5.
One feature I would like to see in this app is an alert function. So if a friend were coming to pick me up, I could set an alarm to trigger when my friend is within a certain area.
This is a pretty cool app where you can create you own cards with a personal message and a photo. Once you enter your apple id you can pay $2.99 in the US which includes the postage and the card will be physically sent. Cards is available in the App Store for the iOS 5.
