App reviewed: Informant

October 07, 2010 0 Comments iPhone by Curt Hemingway

A to-do and calendar application. Informant rocks, at least for me. I'm able to track the 52 projects I have on the go. Each project has dozens of tasks associated. It allows you to assign a task to a project, and date it, tag it, give it a context, add a child task, assign importance, mark completeness, make it repeat, assign to another calendar and add alarms.

That's pretty much everything you'd want to do. The folks that make the app respond quickly to requests, and the app itself gets updated regularly.

Managing your cellular data

October 02, 2010 0 Comments iPhone by Curt Hemingway

The iPhone brings an element to my business that I was not expecting. The iPhone has made it into my toolbox as must have tool for my business all day long. That means that I'm on it constantly, and rarely speaking on the phone, but using apps, email and the browser constantly. That means I have to keep an eye on my data traffic. If you have unlimited data then you don't need to know this. If you don't then read on.

Your iPhone has WIFI capability and that is the main thing that sold me. Now when I go out, I scan for available networks and connect when I can. Coffee shops, groceries and what have you. The fact that I can connect over Wifi, means that my cell carrier cannot charge me for the data. That's huge cause if it did not have it, I'd be paying huge for data. As it stands now, I'm actually under my data cap each month as I am careful where I get internet access on the iPhone. Yes it works wherever I get coverage, but the Wifi means I can work all day long and respond to email when I have to.

Blogging about the iPhone

October 01, 2010 0 Comments iPhone by Curt Hemingway

Welcome to iphone blog. Here I will review iphone apps and discuss features of the iphone. For now hardware reviews will focus on the Apple 3gs and the Apple iPhone OS 4.1. If you do not have the latest update I suggest you get it. If your phone is jail broken and you are concerned about the update DON'T DO IT until you have researched the process.

The recent update to the iPhone OS was done around the same time as the iTunes upgrade to v10. The most significant addition to the OS and itunes was the addition of PING. I musical twitter style social media...Jury is still out.
