This is a wonderful application that serves many file sharing functions. On the mac you'll se the DB icon in your main toolbar. Place files in the "drop" and segregate them for business associates, social activities, general purposes or for syncing between multiple machines in local or remote locations. Growl notification lets you be informed when changes are made by others. Love using this. So will you.

Let's face it -- we all have those embarrassing pictures of when we took a MySpace mirror picture to make sure we looked good in our new outfit. Or that time we snapped a discreet picture stalker picture of the hot guy on the bus to work. (Or, if you're me, the guy who greatly resembled a leprechaun who was asleep across from you.)

Either way, there are some pictures that you would be horrified to discover someone else had seen. Since the iPhone's native Photo app doesn't offer a protective feature, we're left to our own devices... er... third party apps.

And Picture Safe is the best. It's easy to use -- just enter your 4-digit password and select pictures you want to make private. It looks and functions like the native app but hides all your secret photographs and keeps them FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

I’m so excited to be going to NTC this year. To be honest I’m not even sure how I found out that there’s an app for that but there is, there is an app for NTC this year. Of course! And of course it’s free.

If you’re going to NTC this year you’ll want this app and even if you aren’t going you may want it as well. Why? Because it will help you follow NTC as if you were there. One big function of the app is that it will help you follow the twitter streams of the conference including people who are major players at the conference. So yes, while you could follow this elsewhere having it all right in this app is super helpful.

You can also follow the NTC blog from within the app. Again, you can get this elsewhere but having all of this information in one app is very handy.

For the conference goer there are other fantastic parts about this app. Forgot about those affinity groups? Wonder who is the keynote speaker? Wonder what’s up for lunch? It’s all in the app. The only thing missing, and the only reason I rated it down one bar is that the actual breakout panels are not on the app, it simply directs you to the website. Not horrible but it would have been nice to have each session on the app itself.

This app is a must have if you'll be at the conference. Hope to see you there!

Protect Home Sweet Home from a Zombie Invasion

I didn't quite get this game - until I started playing. Then its reality became absolute - protect your home from zombies by planting plants as quickly as you can because, of course, they shoot at zombies that are invading your home. As you achieve levels, you get rocks (or are they tombstones?) to block the zombies, cherry bombs to blow them up, etc. Engaging soundtrack and a nifty mix of suburban and ghoulish vibe.

I watched the Keynote presentation pretty closely, and at that time the NYT Editors' Choice app was looking a bit tired. It isn't now, that's for sure. An outstanding reading experience across the board.

It misses a 5 star only because of the available content -- it feels a bit slim. I've been a Sunday NYT reader for probably 15 years now, so maybe I'm expecting more... but I'm ready for that, too!

A real pleasure. This app slices out iPad specific content from Appolicious, providing articles, user curated lists, apps, and the like. I love it. Easy way to "cut through the fluff" and find what you're looking for. A must have application. Disclosure: I work for Appolicious too.

Something power Gmail users might like (v1.2.1)

• App review for Mailroom - Gmail and Google Apps Mail Client
• Posted by ynzr April 06, 2010
• Recommended for Road Warriors, Students, Career People, Social Butterflies or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

I haven't seen much online about Mailroom so here's a review.

If you don't use Gmail, or rarely use it, go ahead and stop reading. If you can't live without Gmail, Mailroom might be worth taking a look at--particularly if you have multiple accounts.

Why not just use the webapp in Safari? Well, if you have multiple accounts, it's a pain to switch back and forth. Why not just use the built-in Mail app for your Gmail? What, miss out on the great threaded emails feature in Gmail, forget it.

Mailroom supports multiple accounts, all the features of the Gmail webapp, and more. The app handles multiple accounts with an accounts screen that also features a badge count for each gmail account. The "TrueNew" badge displays total unread count and the number of new messages since you last opened Mailroom. The app will also remember the last account you were viewing in case you exit to do something else.

What else does it do? Well, you can add a recipient from the iPhone's Contacts instead of just your Google contacts. It also has a built-in browser for checking out links and an attachments viewer for stuff like PDFs, word doc files, excel files, jpegs and whatnot. Mailroom also offers offline support for keeping a copy of your recently read and received messages.

Several people on the App Store complain that Mailroom is not a replacement for the built-in Mail app. Well, the dev doesn't claim that it is and I'm not sure where they got that impression. Mailroom lacks push notifications for new mail, so I use the built-in Mail app to get push notifications through Exchange for all my Gmail accounts (by using a combination of forwarding, filters and labels) and then use Mailroom for reading and composing.

I do have one complaint however; Mailroom has too much of an SSB (Single Site Browser) feel to it.

positives: enhances the Gmail webapp with extra features; multiple account support; add recipient from iPhone Contacts

negatives: no push (the "Prowl" solution doesn't count); UI looks just like the Gmail webapp

Track your money on the go (v1.3)

• App review for Mint.com Personal Finance
• Posted by ynzr April 06, 2010
• Recommended for Budget Hawks

I heard about Mint.com a while back but just started using it. I avoided checking it out at first being fearful of account information being online and whatnot. But now, I figure it's probably pretty safe since there hasn't been any really negative press. I was impressed with their site so I went ahead and grabbed the iPhone app.

The iPhone app is a very slimmed down version of the site and allows you to view your account balances, transactions, budgets, etc. You can set various alerts on the website and receive push notifications. However, you can't edit any information with the iPhone app.

With that said, what the app does do, it does well. For those unfamiliar with Mint.com, the site lets you set up your accounts (with numerous banks) and then pulls your account information automatically. Think of it as a single login for reading information from all of your banking websites. After your first login on the iPhone app, you can set a 4-digit password to launch the app. So now, I can check up on all my accounts while I'm out without having to input information manually.

Mint.com only pulls transactions once per day, although balances are refreshed on load or manually. For folks who need realtime updates on their transactions, Mint.com probably isn't for you and you're better off with the manual-entry type of apps. But, if you don't need to see the 5 bucks you just swiped for a sandwich on your debit card transactions list right away, give the app a try.

positives: quick and easy once you're setup; it's FREE (and so is the website); updates your transactions automatically daily

negatives: iPhone app not nearly as powerful as the website; only for reading data, not editing

Nice but no updates (v1.6)

• App review for Cha-Ching
• Posted by ynzr April 06, 2010
• Recommended for Budget Hawks

Cha-Ching is a solid personal finance app with all the typical features you'd expect and has a sync-able Mac app to boot. Unfortunately, the dev hasn't updated since Oct '09 and hasn't replied to anyone on the website. Any hope for future updates seem grim. That's a shame because Cha-Ching is easy to use and has a great UI.

I'm still giving it 3-stars for now because I simply haven't found a comparable replacement as far as design and features. But if you're looking for a new personal finance app, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. At some point, OS updates will render this app useless.
