My First iPhone App - My IP Info

My first iPhone App has made its way into the iTunes App Store and is doing quite well during its first week.  It's called My IP Info and is a basic network utility app to let you know the internal IP address and public IP address that your iPhone appears to come from.  It also attempts to Geo-locate the public IP address using HostIP.info and finally determines whether or not your iPhone is directly reachable or not from the public Internet (i.e. blocked by a firewall).  It accomplishes this last part by trying to connect to the simple web server that is running in the app.

The app is free to download and use, as it is supported via the ads that are displayed.  So, if you have a few seconds, go ahead and give it a quick try.  Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for ways to improve upon it.  I have thought that it might be cool to do a name lookup on the public IP, as well as perhaps identify the router's IP and do a name lookup on that as well.  I really want this to be a legitimately useful yet super simple network utility.
