The Shortwave Webclip
Now you can add Shortwave to your iPhone/iPod touch home screen. The sole caveat—that a webclip is a standard bookmark so the JavaScript prompt is requested from the server rather than stored locally, eliminating one benefit of Shortwave—might not even be an issue for iPod touch and iPhone 3G users. (If you get the JavaScript prompt just hit “Cancel” and wait a few seconds.) ![]()
Shortwave Firefox Search Plugin
While Safari allows you to access individual Bookmarks Bar items with Apple + [1-9] keyboard shortcuts Firefox sadly does not offer an analog. So Brendan Borlase created a Search Plugin that passes commands to Shortwave. The best part? Apple + K focuses the search field for mouse-free Shortwave surfing in Firefox too. ![]()
Shortwave for the paranoid
Uses a self-hosted JavaScript file as opposed to a plain text file to avoid passing through shortwaveapp.com. I would have called it “Tinfoil Hat.” ![]()
