3.5 Inches - Dustin Curtis

chartier:

Dustin Curtis:

When you first see a phone with a 4-inch or larger screen, it seems like a much better experience. I thought it was a technical decision, and it could be, but since switching to an Android phone — a Samsung Galaxy S II, the “best Android phone you can buy, anywhere” — 15 days ago, I have realized another huge downside of larger screens.

Remember all those anti-iPhone arguments back in the day about not being able to use it one-handed?

Sirius — iPhone 4S

For iPhone: Fisheye, Macro, and Wide Angle Camera Phone Lenses

“It’s hard to believe you were that Snobby McSnobberson of yore. You were dedicated to film 100%, cringing at the “D” in DSLR and the mere thought of shooting in JPEG. But then. iPhone happened.

It was the readiness with which you could whip out this camera that made you fall in love. Yes, it had you at hello, and now your only wish is to bathe your beloved with lavish accessories.”

iOS Now Automatically Downloads New App Purchases

Just found out about this feature. I recently downloaded an app on my iPhone. Later, when I got back to my iPad, an alert message said something like this:

“You have downloaded an application on an other device. Configure your settings to make purchases automatically sync to this device.”

So, how do you do this? Just go to Settings > Store and enable automatic downloads of both apps and books.

No need for wired iTunes syncing of both your devices. Now, once you buy an iPad app, you’ll automatically get the iPhone version as well (and vice versa). Finally!

enable app store purchases to automatically sync and download to your iOS device

Update: A screenshot of how to enable these settings on your iPhone (it’s the same on the iPad).

Apple - iCloud - The new way to store and access your content.

PhoneView for iPhone and iPad

PhoneView by Ecamm Network, makers of the excellent Printopia.

PhoneView gives you a bunch of features Apple — for more or less unknown reasons — left out from iPhone/iTunes. According to Ecamm Network:

“iPhone Disk Mode, SMS, Voicemail, Call History, Music, Photos, Notes Access”

20 USD. That’s what I paid for Printopia (which I couldn’t be happier with). I’m going to give PhoneView a try — especially for this one particular reason:

Always Have Your SMS and MMS Messages on Hand — view and search your texts and multimedia messages, even when your iPhone isn’t connected to your Mac. PhoneView automatically backs up your messages whenever your iPhone is connected. Messages can be exported as PDF files, text or XML.”

(I have somewhat sentimental tendencies, I guess.)

Tweetbot — Tapbots

An awesome app by the awesome folks at Tapbots. It’s as well-done as all their other apps — Pastebot, Calcbot, Convertbot and Weightbot.

(Also, the app’s website is wonderful, from a designer’s perspective.)

calvetica - The fast calendar for iPhone

To me a new iOS app. From calvetica’s website:

  Add an event in just _two quick taps_. See how full your week or day is _at a glance_. It works with the built-in iPhone calendar but it’s _faster_.

Sounds great.

I wouldn’t want to ditch iCal, since I use it on all my devices — the iMac at work, the MacBook Pro at home and everywhere on my iPhone.

Also, MobileMe does a great job at syncing all iCal calenders, events, tasks and more between all my devices.

That’s why calvetica seems interesting. It uses iCal’s data. Only different is, you’ll use calvetica’s user interface.

Now, I’m off to App Store to purchase it.
