Here’s a brief list of my current top five iPhone 3G apps that can be purchased or freely downloaded from the iTunes store.
Twinkle - A microblogging client based on Twitter that lets you add location-based information and photographs to your postings. It either shows postings from only your friends or from random people near you.
OmniFocus - Personal task management on speed. Very convenient productivity tool that lets you keep track of all your tasks and to-dos. Also synchs with the MacOSX desktop version.
Evernote - Note keeping application allowing you to store, combine and archive little notes in the form of text, audio or photographs. Synchronizes with their web application, too.
NetNewsWire - Very solid and easy-to-use RSS reader. Need I say more?
ekitan - Japanese train transit planning service, which lets you retrieve train, subway and bus time tables in realtime. Never miss your train again.
Virtual reality pioneer and human-computer interaction researcher Dr Randy Pausch, very well known for his highly inspiring last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University, has died yesterday of complications from pancreatic cancer. That’s pretty sad news. Unfortunately he lost the battle against the deadly disease he had encountered for the past two years, leaving behind his wife and three kids. May he rest in peace. Here’s the official CMU news story for you to read up on.
Randy inspired many people throughout the world (including myself) with his lectures, wise farsightedness, and mentor-like personality. I will keep on spreading his message and would thus like to recommend his book “The Last Lecture” that had been published in April.
Hello World. I’m still here, although I have not posted any new articles in a long time given that I’ve almost entirely switched over to Twitter, especially now that both Twinkle and Twitterific are available for the all new and shiny iPhone 3G. Well, I thought that something had to be done about it, so stay tuned for new postings on this site.
