PageOnce launched as a web site earlier this year with a single focus, to simplify your online activity by aggregating your accounts into a single, secure view. We gave it test drive and liked it, but they were lacking a mobile interface so we didn’t get to tell you about it here on Touchtp.com. Today, we can gladly tell you that PageOnce has a free, native app waiting for you in the App Store and this is one gem of a download that you won’t want to miss.

The PageOnce app brings account aggregation to the iPhone and iPod touch, and the productivity gains you’ll experience will be like nirvana. PageOnce gives you a single page with all of your online accounts for banking, credit cards, email, MobileMe, social networks, bill payments, movie rentals, airlines, and on, and on, and on.

After weeks of speculation and rumor-mongering, it’s finally official. iPhone 3G is Apple’s newest mobile phone that takes an already amazing device to a whole new level. Apple listened closely to its customers to come up with a feature-laden offering in an improved form factor that is thinner than its predecessor. It’s faster, thanks to the 3G high-speed network support. And it’s cheaper, with the 8GB model priced at $199 US.
