Top tech of 2010
Jan 16, 2011 15:46 - 0 Comments
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.

Killing an App in iOS4
Jul 2, 2010 14:19 - 1 Comment
Oh there are so many problems with iOS4 but I won’t repeat them here but my biggest problem with it (after the horrendous battery life) is the multitasking. In particular the way that now when you close down an app it goes to the background. This is fine for the most part but for some [...]
Call that Multi-tasking?
Jun 29, 2010 10:12 - 1 Comment
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 [...]
iOS4, We Have a Problem
Jun 25, 2010 14:32 - 0 Comments
Last Monday, like many others, I sat in front of iTunes repeatedly pressing the check for updates button willing iOS4 to be available so I could upgrade my iPhone. Unlike many others it went very smoothly for me taking hardly any time at all to backup the device and then carry out the install. In [...]
An App Addiction
Jun 2, 2010 20:06 - 0 Comments
I saw an interesting post on JKontherun today that I thought summed up how I feel about applications for the iPhone/iPad exactly. I had intended to post about it using the dedicated Wordpress application which I thought would be fitting, however, I quickly discovered that it is pretty hopeless. Not only is there no [...]
Clipping to Evernote from iPhone Safari Browser
Jan 17, 2010 18:16 - 0 Comments
One of my favourite tools is Evernote, the note taking application. I regularly find snippets of information on the internet that I want to retain and come back to later. Evernote provides a number of tools that sit in the browser allowing you to clip directly to your account. This is enormously helpful and [...]
Top tech of 2009

For the last few years Michael Arrington has been producing a list of the top tech that he has regularly used in each year and I thought this year I would give it a go. So this is the technology that I used day-in, day-out in 2009 and could not do without.

The Gadget Show Apps
Oct 15, 2009 13:38 - 0 Comments
On the Gadget Show this week they had an interesting challenge. Suzy and Jason were pitted against each other to produce an application for a mobile device. The winner would be the one that got the most downloads.
After almost 30 seconds of deliberation they both chose to develop an application for the iPhone, simply because [...]
WifiPhoto for iPhone
Oct 8, 2009 15:49 - 0 Comments
Getting pictures off an iPhone can be a bind, particularly if you don’t have a sync cable to hand. The most reliable way is to email yourself the pictures but if you do this directly from the Photo app it reduces the size of your pictures. The only way round this is to cut and [...]
Unfuddle for iPhone
Aug 28, 2009 11:35 - 1 Comment
I have been using Unfuddle for a while now with a number of my clients. To quote Unfuddle themselves it is a “secure, hosted project management solution for software development teams.”
Depending on your level of membership, which start at free, you get ticketing, time tracking, messages, subversion or git hosting, notebooks and milestone tracking. [...]
