iPhone 3G Users, Upgrade to iOS 4.1 [Video]

As soon as iOS 4.1 comes out this week (as announced by Steve Jobs at last week’s Apple music event) iPhone 3G users should feel safe to upgrade. In case you don’t know, iOS 4 for iPhone 3G wasn’t exactly “perfect”: to cut short, it was slow. I tried an iPhone 3G running the magical iOS 4: it was barely usable. Even a stupid task like unlocking the phone took a few seconds more than usual, not to mention springboard navigation and Safari. Everything was slow and slow-motion - at a point you couldn’t believe Apple shipped such a thing. Read more

BaseApp: Basecamp Notifications for Mac, Done Right

If you’re a Basecamp user, I guess you’re annoyed by its email notification system. Every time someone does something in the account, like edit a writeboard, a new email pops up in your Inbox. And even with a Priority Inbox, there’s not really anything you can do about that: you’ll get the email. With teams, it gets worse. If you have more than 5 projects and 20 people on a single account, just think about the consequences. Hundreds of emails per day. No way, there must be a better way.

Now we can say there’s a better way to stay updated with Basecamp. Thanks to BaseApp, you’ll be able to get every single update directly on your Mac desktop, without the clutter. For serious Basecamp users, BaseApp is a must-have. Read more

The Ultimate iOS Pie Chart

At least, that’s what asymco claims. We knew that there were 59.6 million iPhones and 3.2 million iPads through June; at the music event last Wednesday, Apple announced that 120 million iOS devices were sold to date. So asymco assumed that Apple sold 8 million iPhones and 4 million iPads during July and August, and they came up with a 45.2 million iPod Touches sold to date estimate. That’s 37.7% of total units.

Cyberduck 3.6 Released with Google Storage Support

Cyberduck is a great FTP client I use every day to upload files to Rackspace Cloud Files (actually, it’s one of the few OS X apps that support Cloud Files) and access my iPhone and iPad file system (jailbreak is required). It’s a full-featured application to upload files to the internet, which just got a lot of better and is about to be used by a lot more users.

There’s a Windows version in the works, that’s true, and a beta is launching later this month. You can read the details here and also take a look at the first screenshots; for what it’s worth, the Windows UI looks pretty clean. Down to our Mac business, the new version introduces support for Google Storage (go sign up here), a refined dashboard interface with awesome new icons, support for S3 Bucket versioning and new Google Docs features.

Check out the full press after the break. Read more
