“The interesting thing about the iPod, is that since it started, it had 100 percent of Steve Jobs’ time,” said (Ben) Knauss. “Not many projects get that. He was heavily involved in every single aspect of the project.”
GelaSkins | Simon Oxley - Sudoku for iPhone 3GS, 3G, Original
A friend of mine just ordered one of these for his iPhone and I was quite impressed seeing one in person. So much, I decided to browse and landed on this one.
It’s nothing more than artwork for the back of my device, but I really like the idea of setting my device apart from others while showing off some personality.
Over the course of the past year, I’ve been running trial after trial of Apple’s MobileMe service, simply because I couldn’t pay for it ($100). For an iPhone owner, it’s a great service for a few reasons:
- Push email - emails are received on my phone the minute the servers get them.
- Push contact syncing - Anytime I add or delete a contact, the changes are made across the board (phone, home computer, online). This was really handy when I had to have my iPhone replaced. By the time I hit the parking lot, my contacts were back.
- Push calendar - Works the same way as contacts.
- Find My iPhone - Uses the GPS chip in the phone to track its location if it’s ever stolen. Having had my 1st generation iPhone stolen, this is huge to me.
There’s a few other features that come along with it that I do throughly enjoy, like the online storage and photo galleries. Overall, it’s a great service.
A few days back, I passed along the thought to my friends on Facebook of showing how I collect recipes in Evernote. In this case, my friend Paige had a tomato tortellini soup that she raved about The overall advantage of this is being able to collect recipes (or any other information) no matter where I am, say on my Mac or on the go with my iPhone.
Well, the guys at Evernote did this video that explains this concept. Essentially, you can take a recipe that you receive through email or find on the web, copy it into the Evernote application on either the desktop or a cell phone, and that syncs up across any where you have Evernote installed (there’s also a web-based version). From there, you can take the recipe with you to the grocery store as you collect your ingredients, and then take it with you into the kitchen as you prepare it.
All in all, a pretty good deal here.

Probably the cutest theme I’ve seen for the iPhone.
