Apple Peel 520 for iPod Touch

You want to have an Apple iPhone 4 but cannot afford it? Now you can turn your iPod Touch into an “iPod Touch 4G” using the Apple Peel 520 from China.

Apple Peel 520 is an adapter that not only offers voice calling and text messaging (with iPod Touch jailbreak) but also as an 800mAh battery for your iPod Touch. The price is around $388 RMB.

The problems of “iPod Touch 4″

Apple Peel 520 options for iPod Touch

It actually works as advertised but with some problems:

  • Shows “Calling” even though the call has been picked up.
  • Incoming phone number and contacts may not appear.
  • Cannot set ringtone for incoming messages and calls.
  • Cannot adjust call volume.
  • iPod Touch display would not light up when there is incoming calls.
  • Accepted call could only be hung up by the other party.
  • Cannot delete/forward a single SMS message.
  • Cannot add multiple SMS recipients at the same time.

I believe the problems are not a deal breaker for those who want to “upgrade” their iPod Touch to iPhone. Better still the Apple Peel 520 support all three generations of iPod Touch.

It is now available for pre-order on TaoBao in China. Are you interested?

WordPress plugin: Delete Pending Comments

Sometimes your WordPress blog might get attacked by spam bots and get thousands of comments that passed your blog’s spam filter but WordPress put them in “pending comments”. Mark pending comment as spam batch-by-batch would take you couple hours. Nobody want to do that.

If you are a geek, you know you can delete all WordPress pending comments with a single SQL query using phpMyAdmin or any other SQL client:

DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = '0'

That’s easy!

But, I don’t know SQL!

For other WordPress bloggers, I found a simple plugin called “Delete Pending Comments” that just do one thing.. well, delete pending comments.

After installed the plugin, you would get a “Delete Pending Comments” menu item under “Comments” menu in WordPress Admin.

To confirm you want to delete all the pending comments, you have to type the text

“I am sure I want to delete all pending comments and realize this can’t be undone”

then click “Delete Pending Comments” button.

Hooray! All pending comments are gone! Hope you find this tips useful. Let me know if you have other tips to be shared.
