Notify is a great mail notifier / client for Mac OS X that sits in the menubar waiting for new messages to arrive. It supports Gmail and Google Apps, Rackspace Mail, MobileMe and generic IMAP.

As I wrote in my review: “Notify 2 is one of the best application of this late 2009, allowing you to keep track of your mail accounts and manage your mail messages from the menubar, which is just great. The interface is clever and well designed, the animations smooth and,overall, the application is stable. But the coolest thing is that now I can finally keep Mail.app closed, leave Notify running and open Mail.app only if really needed. This – is just great.“.

Vibealicious gave me 5 licenses to give away to MacStories readers. This is a last 2009 gift for you guys, from MacStories, Kyle Van Essen (developer) Joel (developer) and  Sir Matthew Rex Downham (Graphic Designer and Media Dude). Details after the jump!

Reportage is an awesome and unique Twitter client for iPhone which takes a brand new approach to mobile tweeting. As I wrote in my review back in November “Reportage rather than give you a list of unread Twitter updates, lets you “listen” to your Twitter followers as if they were radio stations” and “It’s different from any Twitter client you’ve tried, has a stunning UI (that kind of UI I wish Tweetie 2 will have someday) and it’s smooth”.

The application has just been updated to the long awaited 1.5 version, which brings many new interesting stuff: built-in browser, Instapaper support, old style / new style retweets, geolocation and many refinements and bug fixes. Also, it’s priced $1.99 now!

WhereCloud gave me 5 promo codes to giveaway to celebrate the 1.5 update. Details after the jump!
