Evernote looks SO SHINY. I really WANT to use it. But I am so lazy when it comes to adopting organisational stuff (hah, the irony), but I really WANT to with this one. Apparently the iPhone App is good too.

Just as long as I can set it to only sync when I'm connected to wifi. Sadly, a bunch of applications seem to be ones that rely on the user being in a country where the mobile broadband access/data is unlimited.

Speaking of iPhones (and I will, for some time to come), I've decided to go with accessing Gmail through Safari rather than using Mail.app. Google's suite looks absolutely fantastic on the iPhone's version of Safari, and also, there is less data involved in viewing my inbox page via the browser than downloading the messages themselves in Mail.app. Though Mail.app looks as cool as the rest of the interface, it doesn't have the conversation collapsing that Gmail does, and yeah - it downloads the latest messages that have come into my inbox since I last checked with the phone, not just the new ones (or not just notification that there *are* new ones). Which is an unnecessary use of my 250MB per month!

Now that I'm paying a bigger mobile phone bill I was thinking of ditching my landline and signing up for cable internet - right now I make practically no calls on my landline, but still have to pay the $30 per month line rental in order to have ADSL (which is another $30 on top of that). So, it would make sense to just get cable internet which might be $50 altogether with no line rental, right? But alas, there doesn't appear to be cable available in my area. Foo.
