The App That Lets Me Leave the iPhone at Home

Steven — Sun, 02 May 2010 22:12:24 +0000

Though I had switched to a Motorola Droid, I kept carrying my iPhone with me. But now that I have Google Listen, Evernote and VIP Access for Android, I have duplicated all of my critical apps on my Droid. It’s nearly perfect. If only OmniFocus ran on the Android. But it’s not critical. Besides, I’m moving my GTD functions to Evernote.

Apple Loosens The Reins A Bit, Sends Handslaps Rather Than Rejections

Apple is moving in the right direction. With this and the new app to report quality of service problems, Apple and AT&T are making moves that will make me reconsider moving away to Verizon:

It looks like Apple might be making moves to loosen up their restrictions, if only ever so slightly. Earlier this week, Apple finally let a live video broadcasting app through the gates, after apps of that genre sat on the review backburner for months. Today, they’ve willingly approved another application that calls upon one of Apple’s private (and generally blacklisted) APIs.

Kindle for iPhone

Steven — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:27:16 +0000

The New York Times reported that Amazon just released an Kindle Reader for the iPhone

I downloaded it an hour ago and had a chance to briefly use it. It gives me access to all of the books I’ve already purchased. I don’t see my newspaper subscriptions, but I suspect that will come in a future release.

The interface more book-like than the Stanza Reader. Where the Stanza reader uses touch regions to turn pages, on the Kindle reader, you use the page change gesture of sliding your finger from right to left across the screen as if you were flipping pages. Page changes are fast without the refresh flash you get on the Kindle device.

The iPhone is just about my mobile all-in-one device.
