I discovered this app this morning thanks to Daring Fireball’s John Gruber. It’s called “Due” and it lets you enter quick reminders for stuff you don’t want to forget about. Walk the dog in 30 minutes. Call your boss after lunch. Check on MacStories giveaway announcement in 5 hours. That kind of stuff. Read more

Captio Lets You Email Tasks To Yourself With 1 Tap
What’s the easiest way to capture tasks and quick notes on the go? Some might say OmniFocus for iPhone is the way, some are in bed with Simplenote. I say the easiest and fastest way to capture tasks in seconds has always been this: email them to yourself.
I know, it’s archaic. But it works. And if you’re running your email account on Gmail, you have an amazing amount of tools to play with to setup great filters to sort the inbox for you. Not to mention the latest feature Google added to Gmail, the Priority Inbox: if you’re used to emailing tasks to yourself and you tell Google those emails are important, you’ll never miss one.

On my Mac, iPad and iPhone I use OmniFocus to help me getting things done. I manage various projects in it, schedule tasks and dump all the stuff I need to do at some point in the day.

Alarms is a fast and lightweight reminder app for Mac that lives in your menubar. It’s not a GTD application, yet it’s a perfect companion for softwares like Things or OmniFocus. How so? Read more

1 Million iPhones Sold in South Korea
Korea Telecom, Apple’s exlcusive carrier partner announced the milestone earlier this week after selling the device for a full nine months. The announcement comes about a little over a month after the iPhone 4 went on pre-sale in the country overwhelming KT’s servers. With about 200,000 of the device still back-ordered the carrier expects to hit sales of1.2 million by early next month.
Looking forward to iPhone 4 numbers.
Writer for iPad: The Key to Good Writing?
This is one of the apps for iPad I was really looking forward to: Writer for iPad, developed by Information Architects. I knew that the guys over at @IA were working on a new iPad app that should “change” the way we write on the tablet, and based on the tweets I read from its beta testers (people like Om Malik and Aza Raskin) I figured Writer was set to be a great app.
It came out last night, and I’m downloading it right now as I’m writing this. Here’s why I’m excited, and why I think Writer could perfectly fit in (and improve) my writing workflow. Read more
CDMA iPhones Being Built in December?
Another day, another Verizon iPhone rumor. AppleInsider has posted that Apple is going to build (use your Doctor Evil voice) 3 million CDMA iPhones in December alone. Could this mean an iPhone for Verizon or Sprint (ha!) in time for WWDC 2011 or just another iLog in the rumor fire? Read more
