Quick Review: NewsGator Online and NewsGator Mobile for the iPhone

Inspired by the Brent Simmons interview, I installed the trial of NetNewsWire 3.0 and configured it to sync with NewsGator Online. I used NetNewsWire on the PowerBook, NewsGator Mobile on the iPhone and the NewsGator Beta Online Reader elsewhere.

Sorting out some tumblelog details

Started messing out with the RSS feed format to accommodate the tumblelog entries and noticed my feed may have refreshed fully. I’ve fixed it but FeedBurner still shows the posts as new. If you are all of a sudden inundated with old content, I apologize. Just mark them all read and they should go away.In […]

This WordPress blog goes tumbling

I’ve been struggling for the last couple weeks with how to present and manage in my blog short snippets of information I come across and find worth sharing. I did want to manage them in WordPress but, at the same time, I wanted posting to be quick and easy. It turned out that a few […]

Pay for More Gmail Storage - What about IMAP?

Ionut Alex Chitu writes in the Google Operating System blog that for $20 a year, you will be able to get 6 GB that can be used in either Gmail or Picasa.
This is good news if you need the additional space, but what I would like to see is for them to step up and […]

.Mac Web Gallery vs. Flickr

Two similar questions posed today on O’Reilly Mac DevCenter and Lifehacker got me thinking. Is there really a competition between .Mac Web Gallery and Flickr? Or, are they instead complementary?I gave the new .Mac Web Gallery a spin last night. It’s fast and very easy to use. Literally within minutes, I created a new event […]

Google Reader updated for the iPhone?

I am not sure when or how this happened, but it appears that Google Reader has recently been updated to detect the iPhone. Where before visiting http://reader.google.com/ on the iPhone would simply bring up the desktop reader, now it automatically redirects to Google Reader Mobile at http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/.In addition, Google Reader Mobile has now gained the […]

Widgets, Spotlight Coming to iPhone?

Wow. Quite intriguing, though I’m not entirely sure how other widgets would be different from the ones already present on the phone. I’m talking about Stocks, Weather, etc. Would this be a way to maybe group installable widgets beyond the space alloted on the iPhone’s home screen?

.Mac Wishlist

MacRumors, AppleInsider, AppleGazette, TUAW and I’m sure others are all hinting at a possible .Mac refresh to be announced at the Apple Media Event today, based on a “scheduled maintenace” outage to coincide with the event.I’m hoping to see at least some of these being announced today:

Push email for iPhone and Mail.app, hopefully using IMAP […]

iPhone - Gmail reverse halo effect

OK, for the life of me I can’t understand how iPhone’s launch caught Google Mail so unprepared.They do have a renewed love for all things Apple. Its top brass sits on Apple’s board. They’ve partnered to deliver YouTube content to AppleTV and iPhone. They’ve been into mobile applications for quite a while. So who forgot […]
