FF design suggestion: add another line for messages because sometimes need to edit
Need examples please - which tech products do you think consumers allow major incremental improvements across generations on a gamble that there will be future improvements? Say from 1st gen to 3rd gen
For software companies thinking about next version of apps & building consistent features across devices, think about how most iPhone apps integrate touch from the ground up. It isn't necessarily a stand alone feature, but direct targets make it easy for people to just do what they need to. Now when building for a PC can do that with same type of...
I'm ready for a new cool gadget. The question is - what?
I want an iPhone app analysis that tells me which apps I use most frequently. My guess the top 5 are: 1. SMS 2. Email 3. Safari 4. NY Times Reader. Down from there are things like 5. Weather Channel (at what time might it rain? Ha ha), Stanza or Kindle, Epicurious, Betty Crocker cook book (quite handy, really!), Facebook, and probably some web...
Oh Weather Channel should be listed as #5 - Lora Heiny
Yelp is in the value category too. Quite handy for finding new places to eat. - Lora Heiny
Have you purposefully used the iPhone voice memo app? I almost did when Loren was in the hospital because there was so much to remember, but didn't. Maybe students find good uses?
How often do you clean put your iPhone app installs? I'm doing that now. Last did about a month ago. Think I'll delete a page or two.
@LindaAEpstein Two heels look ok & now need to clean up the image background. Thanks for letting me play with setting up WordPress & themes!
Working on setting up http://technologyinhighheels.com/ with Linda. Playing with designs. Content comes next.
@betsyweber No, haven't registered for CES 2010 yet. Exchanged email with reg people and we aren't on the alumni list so didn't get info -ha
I usually read FriendFeed on my phone. I just logged into it from a PC. First time in months. Wish once again that the FF features for the phone could be updated.
Which phone? I use it all the time with iPhone with just standard old Safari. - Robert Scoble
iPhone too and I like how easy it is to use FF with Safari. However, after switching today I can see that comments area on a PC is just easier to use (autogrows as write, scrolling easier, etc.). If I were FF, I'd want to support primary use on phone as a likely scenario, just like primary use on PC. - Lora Heiny
ATT service said house in Prescott has worse coverage than rural Alaska. Family & visitors are supposed to call ATT to let know no service
That is no service to 2 bars, and dropped calls. No service downstairs at all. We keep a tmobile account cause better service. Would love to switch that phone to another iPhone. Need reliability first. - Lora Heiny
At SEA headed to Prescott (PRC). Ready for Egypt slideshow?!!?! :) Get to hear about Mom & Dad's trip to Alaska too.
