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.

One of the top free iPhone applications is one called "PhoneSaber". Allow me to transcribe the description:

Ever wished you could swing your iPhone around like a lightsaber? Well, now you can, with PhoneSaber.

As you swing your phone, a range of lightsaber sound effects will be emitted from your phone's speaker. Not only that, but you can also withdraw and put away your saber.

Last but not least, you can also change the color of your lightsaber for maximum effect.

This is the third most downloaded application on the new iTunes Apps store. Why am I not surprised?


By the way, my phone appears to be in the middle of transitioning from one carrier to another - my old SIM is no longer active but the new one's not roaming yet. So if you need to reach me in the meantime, pliz call me at home or email me :)

Ooo, I wonder how far my wireless reaches into town? :D
