Favorite iPhone apps revisited

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Back in August 2008, a mere month after the iPhone was released, I published my list of apps that I used.  I had quite a list back then and still have the personal rule that I won't have more than 4 pages of apps since it's too hard to find ...

iPhone photo management

Friday, November 7th, 2008

The iPhone's camera, while far from being the best way to capture the moment, is certainly the most convenient.  For those of us who have an iPhone, we always have it with us.  Surely there are little issues with it that will taint the experience, like how long it takes ...

The iPhone as an eBook reader

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

One of the things I was originally disappointed in with the iPhone was its inability to use the vast 16GB of space I had as a mounted disk, as I could previously with my iPod nano. I was still able to browse the web for PDFs, which was pretty cool, ...

Dealing with the iPhone 3G and iTunes 7.7.1 disappearing media bug

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

It was almost two years to the day that I purchased my 4GB iPod Nano and just a couple of days after post this. At the time it seemed like a lot of space, but I really filled it up pretty quickly. Apple advertises 1000 songs on ...

Hello iPod

Saturday, April 8th, 2006

We have a new addition to the family thanks to an early Easter present from my wonderful wife (hers on the left, mine on the right). I’ve retired my 40GB Creative Zen Xtra after discovering that I really wasn’t listening to most of the ~20GB that I had dumped ...

getting iPods and iTunes everywhere

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Since we’re very into our music , the 2005 holiday season’s iPod craze brought us some amazing products. My son picked up a 4GB Nano at launch around Thanksgiving, although he had to settle for black since the white ones were all sold out. With the $50 difference ...
