Apple Updates the iPods and iTunes
by admin on Sep.21, 2009, under Ipod
So, the new iPods are in. At first glance, I was kind of disappointed; the second time I looked, I wasn’t quite as disappointed. Apple has been very frugal in their latest batch of new hardware. My greatest displeasure comes from the new iPod Touch. . . IT HAS NO CAMERA (not to mention the exclusion of a compass and FM radio). Although they did add a mic, voice control, a faster processor, better graphics, and better wi-fi, a camera would have been appropriate as well.
Apple did do a good job with the new iPod Nano – its got a video camera and radio.
ImagePro for iPhone
by admin on Sep.05, 2009, under Ipod
ImagePro by IOCo is a simple app designed to do just one thing—provide a quick and easy way to search Google Images on your iPhone or iPod touch. Of course, you could just use the iPhone’s built-in Safari browser for this, but ImagePro’s clean interface and great features make the task a lot easier.
Review: MailMe for iPhone
by admin on Sep.01, 2009, under iphone
This app does only one thing — it lets you send yourself an e-mail in the fewest possible steps. But MailMe handles the task very well. seems like my life revolves around managing an ever-increasing number of tasks. To help keep everything in order, I’ve come up with a pretty simple system involving Things, the awesome to-do list manager, and my email Inbox. (In honor of both productivity guru Merlin Mann and bad ’80s movies, I have dubbed my system “The Thing with an Inbox Less Than Zero.”) Here’s how it works: Get it MailMe only does one thing—send an e-mail to yourself from your iPhone or iPod touch—but it lets you do it with a minimum of fuss. Tasks flow into my Inbox. If the task is quick and easy, I’ll just do it immediately and then remove the message. If I can’t do it right away, or if it’s part of a bigger project, then I’ll enter it into Things and remove the message. If it’s something I just don’t feel like dealing with at the moment, then it remains in my Inbox. Items in my Inbox eventually get processed and I achieve nirvana when my Inbox becomes empty.
There’s also a useful Things iPhone app, but when I’m away from my computer, I prefer to record tasks or reminders by sending myself a quick e-mail and putting them into my Inbox workflow. Always in search of more efficient ways of doing things (my wife prefers to call this noble quest “laziness”), I want that to be a super-quick process, and using the iPhone’s Mail app is more of a hassle than you might think. Then I discovered MailMe by inUse, and my system became complete.
