My New Favorite App: DGT GTD (Getting Things Done)

When it comes to to-do apps, I am EXTREMELY picky. I have to be, since my mind is a bit, well, flighty.

My preferred configuration has evolved over the years. My litmus test used to be the famed Datebk5 from Palm: desktop and handheld intertwining at its finest. Since then, I have gravitated to cloud functionality. I learned that it was best to get software that I have a reasonable chance of finding on other platforms, and also had a web component that allows me to access data from anywhere that has an internet connection.

How Do You Choose Smartphone Apps?

I am definitely an apps guy.

I pick mobile OS’s based on functionality. I believe apps extend that functionality. Even when I used a BlackBerry, I liked the fact that I had all the apps I needed.

My love for apps clashes with my need for mobile order. I hate keeping apps I don’t use enough. Some of it hearkens back to my BB days (spinning hourglass, anyone?) and some of it is plain app drawer OCD (even rows look better, no?).

The point is, apps have to earn the right to be installed on my device. Even though space has never been a concern on my EVO, I religiously cull unused applications periodically.

So, how does an app earn the glorious honor of residing on my device for more than two days?

Is Messagease The New Smartphone Keyboard We Are Looking For?

Recently, we looked at a relatively new keyboard for Android, 8pen, who is hoping to reinvent the keyboard for the modern day smartphone.

By way of an update, I need to confess that it didn’t even last one full day on my phone. It’s a big learning curve, and I think that in this “fast food” culture, I’m not sure if 8pen is going to cut it; at least certainly not for me, I just don’t have the time.

However, someone within our community came up with another recommendation for a keyboard that was designed specifically for the smartphone in mind. So Mark, thank you!

Foursquare for Increasing Customer Loyalty!

I have always felt that so many businesses and ministries are missing a treat by not utilizing the ever-growing use of Foursquare.

The other day I noticed that a friend of mine, Josh Chalke, had received a letter from Foursquare relating to the coffee shop that he manages at Church.co.uk in London.

The Veer: Small webOS Handset by HP

HP Veer? One person wrote:

It’s about the size of a credit card, but has all the functionality of a full webOS device built into that 2.6-inch, 320×400 screen. It’s got HSPA+, 8GB of storage inside, and a Snapdragon 7230 CPU running at 800MHz. Hey, and it runs Flash!

Not too shabby. My wife likes small form devices; I’m going to take a look:

Lost Your Mobile Phone? Should Have Used These 3 Services…

I lost my iPhone4 yesterday and I was freaking out. I had no memory of where I put it or where it had gone; I could have sworn that it grew legs and walked off.

Or worse, it could have been stolen by one of the conference goers as they filed past our booth. That would totally suck.

I had read about a few apps and services that helped one locate their lost phone but I hadn’t looked into it seriously. I wish I had!

Here are 3 services that I’ve found:

3D Gaming Comes To Palm. Seriously.

It’s fair to say that between the most recent round of smartphones – iPhone, Android, and Palm – that Palm  is the one that’s bringing up the back of the line.

It a lot of things can be said about the device (especially since the transition to HP), but that doesn’t mean that the device isn’t packing any power.

Especially now that 3D gaming is available…
