Say Hello to Evernote Hello

Dec 18, 2011 22:15 -

I really like Evernote I really do. It is probably one of only a handful of apps that I use every single day without fail. But I just don’t get their new app Evernote Hello. I think this quote from a ReadWriteWeb article sums it up:
It’s completely awkward for any social encounter where you’re meeting two [...]

Build an app by all means, but please remember to support it

Nov 14, 2011 21:31 -

Everyone is building mobile apps these days. They are the must have accessory for every company that wants to be seen to be leading edge and that includes my own company.
Apple seem to have managed to succeeded where I singularly failed a few years ago in persuading people that mobiles where it’s at. And that’s great, I [...]

Business Card Reader Apps

Nov 3, 2011 15:20 -

If you are anything like me then over the years you will have collected a vast number of business cards.
Originally these were held in special wallets and then when they became full stacked in a piles on the window sill!
Now they get put into either my contacts or my CRM system and despite there being [...]

Top tech of 2010

Jan 16, 2011 15:46 -

Last year, for the first time, I produced a list of my top tech for 2009. I thought that it would be interesting to do the same in 2010 to see how things have changed, if at all. So this is the technology that I used day-in, day-out in 2010 and could not do without.
Google [...]

Verizon iPhone, Who Cares?

Jan 7, 2011 10:20 -

It seems that ever since Apple struck an exclusive deal with AT&T for the iPhone the whole of the US have been waiting for the holy grail in the form of the Verizon iPhone. And the blogsphere has been alive with it again this week. My question is this who cares and why?
Well in the [...]

Google Mail Add-ons

Sep 4, 2010 11:25 -

There seems to have been a rash of new add-ons for Google Mail this week from both third parties and Google themselves. All of which aim to make the email experience better and, in some cases, closer to that found on desktop equivalents.
Perhaps the most significant of these is the new priority based inbox which [...]

Blogpress perfection

Aug 27, 2010 7:24 -

Yesterday saw an update to the iPhone and iPad blogging platform Blogpress that makes it leagues ahead of the competition.
In a recent review of blogging on the go I identified the ability to easily add links as key – and now you can. Not only that you can also do things like insert bold [...]

iPad on tour – Photo Management

Jul 27, 2010 9:55 -

Continuing the theme of ditching the laptop and using only the iPad, at least on holiday, today looking at the iPad as an amateur photographers best friend.
With its massive, bright, screen the iPad is perfect for viewing photos and coupled with the camera kit it is unbeatable. I have been able to hook up [...]

iPad on Tour – Blogging

Jul 25, 2010 18:18 -

As I said in my previous post I am currently away on holiday and have only brought with me my iPad, rather than a laptop of some description. Over the next couple of posts I am going to look at the apps that I have been using for various different tasks, starting with blogging.
I have [...]

Call that Multi-tasking?

Jun 29, 2010 10:12 -

Maybe it’s me but I just don’t get iOS4’s “multi-tasking”. Multi-tasking is supposed to be a time saver not a confusing pain in the arse.
With the introduction of iOS4 you get (limited) support for apps running in the background. Correction! You get support for certain features running in the background, such as streaming music [...]
