Think Different: Leopard Icon Contains First Think...
The new Mac OS X Leopard is getting the final touches, including new gigantic icons to fit Apple’s own 512 x 512 pixel guidelines. It’s a requirement for their new resolution independent model and one excuse to have some fun: the TextEdit icon contains almost the full copy of the first Think Different campaign advertising, the first under Jobs’ comeback to the company, made by...

Posted by Craig Walker and Vincent Paquet, Product Managers For homeless people and others in need, not having a stable phone number can be crippling: you need one to follow up on medical appointments, keep in touch with friends and loved ones, and hear back from prospective employers. When we acquired GrandCentral Communications last month, we were pleased to embrace their Project CARE...

iPhone Review Series: iPhone vs. Palm Treo 650
Palm’s support for Mac users hasn’t improved in years, and its new Windows Mobile Treos aren’t supported at all. It should come as no surprise that Apple’s own iPhone provides better support for Mac users than the Treo. In this second installment of … (via Stephen’s shared items in Google Reader)
Cellphones: AT&T Stops Claiming Fewest Dropped...
According to an internal employee email, the year-and-a-half old ad campaign from AT&T that claims they’re the network with the fewest dropped calls is reportedly over. This decision comes from JD Power giving T-Mobile the most dropped calls award in most markets, as well as Consumer Reports rating AT&T at the bottom of their lists for reliability and satisfaction. So what will the...

Mac OS X only: Access and write to version control Subversion repositories using SCPlugin, a Mac version of Windows only TortoiseSVN that integrates with Finder. SCPlugin has been around as a Subversion tool for a while, but the newly released 0.7 version promises that it’s “now ready to be your one-and-only Subversion interface.” SCPlugin works the same as TortoiseSVN, so our...

by Vincent M. Ferrari
Apple Phone Show Producer Andy was on The CBS Early show this morning. Of course, it isn’t directly related to iPhones, but it’s still worth watching in case you have to slum it with a regular phone from time to time

Filed under: Handsets, Palm, Sprint
You probably know the storied history of Palm Centro leaks, you might even be aware of our feelings on the subject, but we’ve finally got ourselves what looks to be an honest to goodness “official” photo of the device. It’s a big step up aesthetically from what we’ve been seeing, and even bears a passing resemblance to...
GTD With Email: Turn Mail.app Messages into Tasks...
Mac user and GTDer Julian Schrader turns email messages into tasks with a keystroke, using the iGTD software: I use iGTD to store and organize my tasks — it is an amazing application and provided for free. I recommend it to any Mac user — I just hit F6 in Mail and it copies the active e-mail over into a new task created in iGTDs Inbox, a link back to the original e-mail included.

After taking over planet Earth Google is all over the stars like James T. Kirk on blonde alien chicks: they just added a new option to watch the skies in Google Earth. We tried it and it’s quite good, even if some of the photos don’t smoothly blend into each other. The search works great and they even have a time lapse mode to watch planet movements in relation to the stars. Go get it...

Hard Drivin': Samsung Achieves 160GB 1.8" Hard...
This week, Samsung quietly let it slip that it had reached the 160GB mark for its 1.8” HDD, the Spinpoint N2. The previous record for 1.8” HDDs had been 120GB, held by, yep, Samsung. In case you’re not an Apple fanboy, this is extra good news because 1.8” is the HDD format required by iPods. They are also making their way into teeny, tiny camcorders by Samsung and its...
