By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard about Kindle for iPhone. It’s pretty cool, actually…pretty bare bones functionality, but it tries its best to get out of the way and let you read. Yesterday evening, I was meeting someone at Starbucks, and she was running about 15 minutes late. I was fiddling with my iPhone, and remembered [...]

Exporting video for iPhone
I was editing a video yesterday using Final Cut Express 4, and wanted to create a version that would play on the iPhone. The timeline I was using was 1080i60, and the aspect ratio was 16:9. First I tried File / Export / Using QuickTime Conversion, and selected “iPhone” as the format: This created a [...]
iPhone and Exchange – push and DNS
It seems lot of folks are having problems getting Exchange push email working reliably with the new iPhone 2.0 software. For me, it worked flawlessly when I was outside of the office, but when I was in the office and connected to our corporate LAN via wi-fi, it was unreliable at best. If I instead [...]
iPhone template for Delicious Library 2
One of the first Mac apps I bought was Delicious Library. Not that I desperately needed it, but it was just too darn pretty not to buy, especially for a new Mac owner to use to show his friends. And when version 2 came out, I was super excited about being able to publish my [...]

8 months with the iPhone
It’s been about 8 months since I started using an iPhone. Oddly, I wasn’t even interested at the time; I got the phone as a freebie for going to the Office 2.0 conference in 2007, and it sat on my desk for a week before I even activated it. Color me unexcited. But then, things [...]
iTunes Wi-fi Music Store
Everyone knows by now that the most visible feature of the iPhone’s recent software update is the iTunes wi-fi music store. When I first saw that, my thought was “ho hum”…I mean, I’m excited that Apple is changing the mobile game and updating devices with new features, but I had very little interest in buying [...]
iPhone and Exchange Server
I’ve been using an iPhone for a while, and it’s definitely a whole new experience on a phone. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit, but perhaps I’ll write more about that later. I have it connected to our corporate Exchange server, and the first thing I noticed was that when I would delete a [...]
iPhone bill
Yowsa…this is a serious phone bill for a new iPhone user. I’ve gotten breakdowns like this from several wireless carriers – honestly, folks, I don’t need to see an itemization of every byte I’ve downloaded! Lol.
