The Apple Editor’s Choice Award App for Tracking Your Money. Start Your Free Trial Today
Easy, nerds. I know that there are hundreds of apps that let you turn the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch into a portable hard drive - that’s why I never featured them. There are just too many of them out in the App Store.
So what about Simple Drive? It’s simple, it’s got a nice UI and doesn’t overwhelm you with tons of extra features you don’t even need. Unlike all those other apps, it’s elegant.
That’s why I downloaded it and I have so far enjoyed using it.
We covered some interesting iPad stands in the past. I personally think the Compass is the best one, but I still have to actually try one. As for the iPhone, I just got my Just Mobile Xtand and I’m looking forward to trying it later today. Here comes a new kid on the block though, and he plays the minimalism card: the PadFoot aims at becoming the simplest and most elegant iPad stand you could ever have.
Apple’s music event is tomorrow, the wait is almost over. In about 24 hours we’ll know everything about new iPod Touches, iPod Nanos (or Shuffles) iTV and whatever the rumor makers want Apple to announce. Still, it’s time for some last minute speculation.
Back in July, when Steve Jobs announced the free-for-all iPhone Case Program, he said that the expiration date was set to September 30th. Apple needed more time to think about the iPhone 4 antenna issues and a possible new solution.
Now, according to Mexican website CanalMX, Telcel’s (carrier) Director of Value Added Services Marco Quatorze stated that Apple is about to released a revised iPhone 4 by the end of September.
Sharing websites is the staple of online communication, but we haven’t really figured out how to appropriately share links in person. Somebody overseas can be bothered with a Twitter link or quick email, but if you’re trying to share a video with a group of people (say at work), you ultimately end up with three terribly smelly people crowding around your computer, complaining about the monitor viewing angle and whatnot. So it’s time to further solve our ability to spread the latest offices memes with the SendTab extension for Safari.
Today, the app from Secondgear Software I reviewed a while ago here, has been updated to version 2.5. The latest version introduces much better support for event and task creation: you can now set a default calendar for all your new events as well as create daily, weekly, mothly or yearly recurring events.
It’s that time of the year again. Apple is holding its annual music event on Wednesday, September 1 where Steve Jobs will announce new iPod Touches (with Retina Display, FaceTime capabilities?), new iPod Nanos and, probably, a new Apple TV together with the rumored iTunes in the cloud.
So many rumors are floating around on the internet, and we’ll be here liveblogging the event and discussing news & rumors with you. If you followed MacStories’ live events before, you know what to expect. We’ll be pulling news off the best sources around and comment them live with you. We can’t wait.
All you have to do is bookmark this page or come back on September 1st at 9.30 PT (12.30 ET). Check your timezone. If you sign up through the chat box below you’ll also be notified with an email before the event kicks off.
See you on September 1st!
I’m a firm believer that there must be something wrong with many developers who publish apps in the App Store. Creepy artworks and soundtracks, scary screenshots in the App Store page, insanely horrifying user interfaces.
Crapptastic is here to help you find the best of the worst in the App Store, in case you ever wanted to do that. Founded by @Digeratii (Josh Hellferich, also owner of popular website iPad Apps That Don’t Suck) Crapptastic “celebrates the hilarity that is the iTunes App Store”, and in a good way: while those screenshots piss me off when I see them in iTunes, Crapptastic somehow manages to make me laugh everytime.
I mean, Listen to the pig? Seriously?
