Best iPhone App: Evernote

Filed under: Mobile, Web Tools & Software, iPhone — Sharaf @ 7:12 am

I have been using Evernote on my iPhone for the last 6 months and it is simply the best note taking application out there. Evernote can synch with your desktop and your web account. It works on these platforms: iPhone, iPod Touch, Windows Mobile, MAC, and Windows based desktops.

So, let’s say you record a voice note or take a picture on your iPhone while sitting at a cafe, then later you can download that note on the web or through your desktop. Evernote also makes a great desktop version of of its software and you can take notes on your computer which can later show up on your iPhone. This app truly shows that line between mobile, web and desktop are blurring, which is the future of computing.

Kudos to the designers and developers of Evernote, it is simply the best note taking iPhone app out there. Happy birthday Evernote!

Download it today.

Septa Schedule on iPhone

Filed under: Mobile, Philadelphia, Web Tools & Software, iPhone — Sharaf @ 12:45 am

Septa Schedule on iPhoneThis week is full of iPhone news and coverage of its new 3G debut on Friday. In the same spirit I thought I would share one of my favorite web applications on the iPhone, it is iSepta.org. This is a type of site that I use everyday. It has all timetables and schedules of trains in Philly.

Even if you have another type of mobile phone (Blackberry, Treo etc..) with a web browser you can still use this site.

Three geniuses put together this little web app, and kudos for designing such a useful and easy to use iPhone app. Thanks!

Check it out: www.isepta.org

10 Things Apple Needs to Add to iPhone

After playing around with an iPhone, I am really impressed with Apple’s new mobile device. However, it does not have everything, and there are still some areas that could use some updates or additions.

There are 10 things I would like to see Apple engineers add to the iPhone (or iPhone 2.0):

  1. Cut & Paste button or function (there is none right now)
  2. GPS plugin or IP based geolocator for Google Maps
  3. Zoom feature for the Camera
  4. Video shooting using the Camera
  5. Flash support for Safari
  6. File storage and viewer
  7. Ability to record sound
  8. Option to have multiple signatures for different email accounts
  9. Vertical viewing for emails
  10. Improve and Add a new to do list application

Update: 11/2/2007

Here are few more critical issues that needs to be also addressed on the iPhone that I forgot to include on my previous post:

  • Battery Life (is not good)
  • Microphone volume control (low quality)
  • Better download Speed for EDGE Network
