This is a feature of the iPhone Dropbox app that I use all the time, but keep coming across people who haven’t found it yet, so it’s worth a post! The scenario is: you take a photo and want to get it on your desktop quickly . You don’t want to plug in the iPhone, open iPhoto or Image Capture and download them. In your Dropbox app, click the camera icon bottom centre and choose ‘existing photo or video’ (or ‘New Photo or Video’ if you haven’t taken a photo yet), choose the item, and you’re done. You can bung it in anywhere you like, but as my work folders sit in Dropbox, it means I can drop it in the relevant project folder, or a public album in ‘Photos’. By the time you open Dropbox on your desktop, it’s already there! Tagged: dropbox , iphone , productivity … Read the rest here

Printopia: Print from iPad/iPhone to Any Printer Connected to Your Mac : I thought printing via iPad would work out of the box with iOS 4.2. Not so. A compatible printer is required . (Anyone have a list of those printers?) A tweet by Brian Hoff mentioned Printopia. Let me just say this: Wow. Totally impressed with how easy this was to set up. … Read the rest here

As part of the 1.2 update for The Incident , Big Bucket Software has added a feature that I’ve been wanting subconsciously from iOS games since the iPad first came out. If you have a copy of The Incident on both iPad and iPhone/iPod, you can use the smaller device as a controller for the iPad. No longer are my fingers in the way of the action, it works like a flippin’ dream! This is on top of what is already a fabulous retro game, worth playing for the music and object graphics alone. Once I tried it, I wanted all others games to work the same way. How about another use for the new AppleTV as games console with iPhone as controller?

Why Windows Phone 7 Will Make Android Look Chaotic : Brian X. Chen, writing for Wired: With brand new test facilities, Microsoft is taking on the duty of ensuring that touchscreens and sensors are calibrated properly, for example, and each hardware model undergoes software stress tests to catch bugs and system errors (see picture above). The end result should be getting very close to the same OS on smartphones made by different manufacturers. That in turn could mitigate the issue of fragmentation for third-party developers: They can effectively code the same app for a large party of devices without much tweaking. This approach positions Microsoft somewhere in between Apple

I’ve finally submitted my first iOS app to the iTunes App Store! A joint project with Simon Whitaker of Goo Software , the title on the top of the window might hint as to what the app is about.

I buy an awful lot of iPhone apps that don’t get used past the first couple of days, but that’s not the case for Captio . Here’s the scenario. My email inbox is full of stuff to do, so when I need to remind myself to do something I would often email myself a note. It’s where my attention is a lot of the time. Doing this involves the following steps on my iPhone: Lauch Mail Press ‘New Message’ Start typing email address to get mine to pop up Choose email addresss Press on the Subject field Type note Send Enter Captio where the steps are reduced to just: Launch Captio Type note Send The lack of friction is the key here… Read the rest here

Leaving Tumblr for Instapaper : Nick Bilton, The New York Times: Mr. Arment explained that he originally built the product for himself as he found it difficult to save interesting articles he wanted to read on his iPhone. He said he was the only Instapaper user for the first three months, but after friends began asking if they could gain access to the service he decided to launch it publicly

After the announcement of the new Apple TV my disappointment was perhaps inevitable. I try not to let the rumours build up my expectations of a unannounced product, but in the case of the AppleTV I couldn’t help it. 2 weeks later, and I’m coming around to the idea. I’ve calmed down about the whole rental thing, and realised that I’ve missed the ramifications of Airplay. Thinking of Apple TV 2 as more of an airport express that does video and photos, and it suddenly starts to feel right. The ability to stream from Macs and iOS devices is very appealing, and could well be the winning aspect . … Read the rest here
