1Password Pro 3.5 Available: iOS 4 & Dropbox Support, Retina Display-ready

Oh, when they talk about good timing. I was actually thinking about this a few minutes ago, and here’s a major update for 1Password Pro. The latest 3.5 version (universal for iPhone and iPad) introduces full support for iOS 4 and iPhone 4 (with high-resolution graphics), Dropbox sync and a new “Look up in 1Password” iPad bookmarklet. (update: tested, works great on the iPad)

Together with bug fixes and improvements, we also have new auto-lock features for multitasking - a pretty much needed option for devices running the new OS. The app comes at $14.99 in the App Store and it’s available here.

Must-have.

If you happen to be there, snap a few picture for us. We’ll be glad to post them.

Clayton Morris the Sound of Reason in Kindle vs. iPad Argument

If there’s one reason I love Clayton Morris, it’s that he doesn’t bullshit around about technology. I traditionally hate linking to any news anchor on CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, or any other outlet that really don’t have a grasp of technology. This is evident in the Fox News showcase between the Amazon and the Kindle, where Morris steps in to set things straight.

If you have no other reason to watch it, help me figure out if he has an early beta of OmniFocus or if he’s simply running the iPhone version on the iPad. Either way, his iPad setup proves that’s he’s pretty tech savvy guy. The comparison after the break.

Shut Up, I Create Content On My iPad.

I keep reading posts on the internet about people stating that the iPad is the perfect device to consume content. They say it’s perfect for music, videos, pictures. I’m ok with that. It’s true: the tablet form factor surely helps a lot in practicing these activities.

I also read posts and comments from other people, these ones claiming that there’s no way you can produce original content on the iPad. They have a pretty large following, too. They share consensus that if a device is perfect for consuming, then it must be terrible at producing.

Let me tell you why they’re wrong.
