VLC Remote Free lets you play, pause, and skip tracks on the mighty VLC Media Player on any computer from your iPhone or iPod touch.

   the Free edition can then skip forward and backward on a pre-loaded play list, as well as control the volume and move around a video or audio file. The full app, however, allows selecting playlist items, and even remotely browsing your system's entire hard drive for media.

  With a little Javascript ingenuity, a new service called Pastebud aims to bring the long awaited copy-and-paste functionality to the iPhone and iPod touch.

  Pastebud's copy and paste only work between Safari and Mail (or Safari tabs), but since that's where most of us are looking to do copying and pasting, it's not a bad start.

   Pastebud is slated to launch this Friday.

AirTel and Vodafone have started selling the costly 3G iPhone in India. AirTel has even started advertising the iPhone 3G on national television. The ad, which is being aired from last two days shows how an iPhone 3G helps its users to manage Work Calendar, Work Emails and Work contacts. The commercial never highlights the multimedia capabilities of the iPhone 3G or not even the multi-touch interface, which is very surprising. From the commercial it is pretty much evident that AirTel is pitching the iPhone 3G for business users.

Vodafone has reduced the prices of the iPhone 3G by Rs. 2000 ($47) , the main reason being the poor response that it received during the first 2 days and the general dissapointment among the middle class people about the high prices.

• The iPhone 3G was earlier available at Rs 31,000 ($720) for 8GB and Rs 36,100 ($840) for 16 GB.
  
• After the reduction on prices the 8GB model would set you back by 29,000 ($673) and the 16 GB model by34000 ($793) .Vodafone will definitely get the advantage as Bharti Airtel continues to sell in the original price.
  

Whether it was Vodafone or Apple who cut the price is still not clear but do expect more price drops in the days to come.
