Free calls between iPhones
Viber for iPhones works very similarly to WhatsApp in that it automatically checks your phone book for other Viber users. The experience is not as seamless as WhatsApp as there is no update function to recheck your contacts on the fly when someone gets Viber. There is no BB or Droid client yet, so for now its an iPhone only dealio.
The sound quality is crystal clear. There is absolutely no lag and the quality sounds like 7.1. I tried some calls to pals on the other side of the world over 3G and the quality drops a little, but still highly usable and much better than other VOIP solutions (yes, including Skype).
But best of all, the client is FREE! There are no hidden costs, no subscriptions, no CC details required to use, no signing your future away. Install, confirm your number and talk for free.

WhatsApp: Goodbye SMS
The best things since sliced bread 
. Cut down on SMS and MMS costs by using WhatsApp. The one very cool thing about it is it integrates into the phones OS (saving and using items from camera roll and of course accessing the address book to see who else uses WhatsApp) but the real wow factor is its seamless integration into all 3 of the major mobile OS’ plus the aging Nokia platform on top of it. I guess we will see a version for the new player (WinPho) soon even tho WinPhos fancrowd is not too large at the moment.

iPad and IOS 4.2
Posted by Erixun in Apple / Mac on November 28, 2010
What we have been waiting for has finally arrived: the IOS 4.2 for the iPad! Now they just need to update the hardware and add a front facing camera, the A4 CPU, a bit more RAM and we’re good.
I don’t know if its just me, but my iPad seams to run a bit faster after this update. Of course the multitasking (the few apps that support MT are growing) is awesome, but I like the new ability to use a more complex screen lock passcode (rather than just 4 numbers) like I can on the iPhone 4.
Other than that I have noticed a few UI embellishments and tweaks.

Work with attached documents on iPad
The biggest problem of mobile productivity with the iPad is the lack of solid email attachment support. The mail app handles it to a fashion, but nowhere near to what is required by a busy road warrior. The restriction of not being able to download or upload attachments from webmail is a feature that is not just missing, but actually cripples the iPad.
Enter ReaddleDocs for iPad by Readdle. This piece of software has some interesting tricks up its sleeve. Firstly the integrated IMAP and POP support is useful and secondly it has a builtin browser where you can log in to most webmail clients and download attachments directly into ReaddleDocs. Very handy and useful for when on the road.
Sharing is incorporated by the Apple mail app or exporting to other doc apps like GoodReader or DropBox. Now if they could find a way to add support for uploading to webmail in the browser it will be perfect.

Rowmote (Pro) vs. TouchPad: Remote control your Desktop
vs. 
While I hate to take sides on software choices when both sides have created great products, it really comes down to the user (being me in this case) and how the respective Apps handle. Being a programmer I know how much work goes into writing an app and many times what we (the software developers) think are great features don’t get the same response from the end users.
These 2 apps both work well and are worth the dough they ask. In my humble opinion Rowmote Pro is the better choice at the current state of both Apps.
First of all, Touchpad took some finagling to get working and paired (firewall tinkering etc..) while Rowmote dealt with pairing by a helper installation on the desktop (a MacBook Pro in my case) that worked seamlessly on the first round.
Secondly, the media application support did not work for me on Touchpad. Regardless if I selected VLC for instance, the remote media buttons still only controlled Front Row. Rowmote works as advertised and you are able to control a wide selection of media players with standard buttons.
Thirdly, the tracking on the touchpad area seams snappier on Rowmote while Touchpad has lag and jumps.
In Touchpads favor, the touchpad area is larger than Rowmotes.
Unfortunately for Touchpad, Rowmote wins out at the current versions.

Awesome AJAX multi-platform app: Kompass for Basecamp
+
Basecamp is one of the best hosted collaboration and project planning apps available.
Featuring a slew of awesome options and available in a variety of plans and prices, Basecamp makes planning and project management a snap. With the public premise lurking that everything worth doing has been done on the App store, I have been disappointed in the iPhone and Android offerings for mobile access to Basecamp.
Enter Kompass: the Ajax solution that spans all mobile devices and works elegantly. User avatars, functioning todo lists and overviews work nicely and efficiently. Since its built in Ajax it scales nicely on the iPad with no problems. The only thing missing is file access (even just for viewing).
Its currently in Beta testing, so signup if you would like to participate.

Adium – Push to iPhone with Remodium
Posted by Erixun in Communications on September 1, 2010
I finally found what I have been looking for…. a mobile solution for chatting. I have BeeJive and IM+ but this requires I log off my desktop sessions and re-login to my portable. If I forget to do this, sometimes Adium tries to renew lost sessions when I force interrupt by logging on my portable while logged in to my Desktop. I have mulled getting 2 separate accounts, one for desktop and 1 for portable, but thats insanity to match chats and who knows where I get my messages. Another time is when Im in bed away from my desktop, it would be pointless to have a separate account just for bed.
Enter Remodium: An awesome and soon to be elegant solution to my problems. It acts as a remote control to my current Adium session and after pairing on Wifi it works over 3G as well. It requires a plugin on Adium to work.
I say soon to be elegant as its missing a few features to really make it the shiznikle:
- No iPad version
- No unread message counter on iPhone homescreen icon
- Push sequence is highly latent (can be 20 minutes…)
- No buddy icon support
- No status switching utility
But for a work in progress it rocks hard.

Copy music from iPhone without iTunes
Apples iTunes desktop application is both a godsend and pain in the pootaki. For managing music and movies on your iPhone/iPod/iPad it does not get better or easier. Everything works and is simply enough for my mother to administer.
However, if you have any kind of configuration that falls outside of the iTunes religion (custom playlists, custom locations, 2 devices, 2 PCs, some sync / some not sync etc..) iTunes is not very nice to deal with. Upgrading your PC/Mac or iPhone is very difficult unless you specifically use the migration assistant (which is not the answer 2 out of 3 times).
On my last trip away from my desktop I encountered another problem: I needed to make some space on my iPhone to record some meetings and there was no way on the iPhone itself to delete some songs. Bummer big time!
I have the option of filling up my iPhone with music automatically enabled and so I had to check the “manually manage music and videos” in iTunes. This gives me the freaky warning of losing ALL my music. I was not sure if I had it all somewhere on my Desktop.
Enter Senuti. This application enables you to copy your music to your desktop outside of iTunes. Nice one! I had used this proggie last year when it was free (it costs 18 deers now) and it copied the music files to the desktop using their iPhone names (8 alphanumeric mumbo jumbo combos). The new version has a demo mode (30 days and 1.000 files) and they have fixed that bug. Senuti works very nicely and I highly recommend it to anyone facing similar problems.
