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.

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.
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
Dropbox Updates iOS Apps and Launches App Directory [Update: Version 1.3 Now Available]
Dropbox is the most important tool I have installed on my Apple devices. On the MacBook, iMac, iPad and iPhone, I manage to keep everything in sync using Dropbox’s amazing sync capabilities. But it’s not just about a powerful engine: Dropbox is easy to use and accessible from anywhere, web and mobile (and desktop). It’s really one-click sharing and saving. I couldn’t imagine going back to a Dropbox-free workflow. Read more
Awareness Lets You Listen to Music And Hear Outside Noises
My parents used to hate my iPod: every time they were around I had my earbuds on, and I couldn’t hear them. They talked, talked and talked and I was happily enjoying some Oasis on my beloved Classic. Eventually my mom got that iPod Classic, but that’s a different story. I wish I had Awareness for iPhone back then. Read more

Meet My Default Twitter Client on iPhone, Weet
Twitter clients on the iPhone? We had enough, thank you. That’s what I used to say to any developer pitching me and asking whether I thought yet another iteration of Twitter on the iPhone would be a good idea. I was wrong, and here’s why: despite the fact that a genre could be (is) over-crowded and saturated, there’s always the possibility to do better. And as Twitter as a platform is constantly evolving, giving up on ideas just because of competitors is silly.
It’s a fact that we have hundreds of clients to choose from. What’s not so obvious is that you never know who may come up next.
So here we are, talking about Weet. Developed by Raptor Apps and designed by ex-Iconlicious pixel rockstar Marcelo Marfil, Weet was released last week with much buzz over Twitter and other Apple-related blogs. I beta tested the app all along, but I decided to take my time and use it for some more days before writing up something about it.
I’ve been using Weet for a month as the default Twitter client on my iPhone. In fact, I deleted all the other Twitter apps I had. Here’s why. Read more
