iPhone apps S/D

Only one I've used is TeamViewer. Seemed to do the job OK, and is free.

Yeah, we use Team Viewer at work and it does the job pretty well.

another vote for teamviewer....

Cool, I was going for either TeamViewer or that mocha VNC thig but I'll give TV a shot

ITeleport is the best. Not free though.

The paid version of TeamViewer is $99, which shocked me until I realized that the free one is identical but intended only for personal use.

KEY RING

Whoa, key ring sounds waaaay unsecure, esp if one is unwise enough to use their lock screen passcode as their KeyRing passcode. Also it's incredibly easy to figure out someone's passcode by watching them type it, much more than a keyboard.

key ring is for your grocery/cvs/petco cards, replaces the ones on your keyring.

now that is something I could use

I tried it and the scanners at two grocery stores wouldn't recognize the bar codes, and I tried for a long time. Sad.

Oh yeah, that sounds like the same thing as CardStar. It won't scan at the reg and they have to type in your barcode #'s and you look like a pretentious asshole.

ugh. figures. hahah.

...I type in bar code numbers all of the time :-(

Seems to be the new thing: http://www.color.com/

kudos on the URL.

They got $41m in funding before they launched, for inexplicable reasons.

$41m and none of it was spent on the user interface.

Just got Simplenote and it looks like it might be amazing.

I use it occasionally. Should probably use more. My #1 productivity app these days is 2Do. Dumped Remember the Milk because got tired of paying for the service and the 2Do app is better in general. Also syncs with MobileMe tasks.

Also using Evernote more these days.

Can't believe iOs doesn't have a Todo.txt app yet.

Doesn't evernote cost like 5/mo? What does it even do?

I use the free version. It has a data transfer limit, but I've never approached it.

simplenote + notational velocity Changed My Life

Yeah I really really need a good to do/grocery list/checklist/on-the-fly mixtape idea/note taking app but I refuse to pay, like, 6.99 for one. Simplenote, then?

Also I really have no need to sync to other computers or devices so idk if i'm missing the point?

i was going to make a joke about my life revolving around note-taking but now that i think about it ...

simplenote will do that well, yeah

turn off web syncing if you don't need it i guess. seems dangerous, no backups.

Actually, web syncing is fine. It's, like, iPad/Outlook/Thunderbird/iCal/etc shit I don't need

I don't know how involved you all are with your lists, but ShopShop works well for me.

It saves all my data on a "back" screen, so I don't have to re-enter every item of my grocery list each week.

I can move items up and down the list, in the order I want them.

And I can check the items off as I go, eventually (hopefully) returning to an empty slate by the time I reach the register.

I've taken quick notes on the fly before too, though I wouldn't suggest using it for that.

I use Grocery Gadget for shopping lists. It works good because it syncs with a web interface and also if the app is installed on other devices. So if I go to the grocery store and get stuff, I check it off, it syncs with my wife's phone, so she won't get the same stuff if she goes to the store. And we can both add items to it and notify each other if there are changes.

has anyone ported emacs to ios yet?

What I think I'll love about Simplenote is that it will synch to an online account, which is what is missing from the notes app that came w/ the iPhone (I think it did, not sure). That's a game-changer for me, to be able to work on notes from PC and computer without having to wait to sync via cable.

Jeff, why Evernote instead of Simplenote? Also, do you have some standard for which one you use for particular stuff?

Because you can take picture and voice notes too. And it uses OCR on the pics, so if you take a pic of text, that text is searchable.

Whoa (Joey Lawrence voice).

What about my second question? Why do you use both?

Because I like productivity tools and can never decide what works best for me.

Which is unproductive.

I love Notational Velocity for all my note taking.

I use TeuxDeux for to do. Simple and functional.

Oh it's pretty too!! But also costs too much :(

Evernote is good because it works on all platforms. Web, windows desktop, Mac desktop, iOs. All of which I use.

I don't mind paying 3 dollars for an app that I use every day!

iphone notes app will sync to ur gmail if u have it configured

It does, but only through the cable. Plus it creates a new version of each note each time you sync instead of updating each note.

mine syncs through the net, u gotta have note sync enabled in the gmail mail account prefs tho

Emacs runs interpreted code = no App store

hey so my dad gave me his old iphone 3g and I have no interest in getting a new phone service/dataplan (gf has an ipod touch and there are enough open connections around here that we use it as if it had a dataplan)

that being the case is there a way to get the app store? do I have to jailbreak it?

I gave my gf my old 3G and she has no problem accessing the app store. I just reset the thing to factory settings and handed it over to her.

yeah I think I just figured it out, just had to get rid of my dad's account info. thanks!
