Sync all of me!

I’ve written about the pleasures of the Alien Camel email service for iPhone before. And you may recall the most awesome seems to me to be the automatic synching of mail on every device I own. So while Alien Camel’s big benefit is swatting away spam from our favorite handheld, I was pleased personally to [...]

Keith Urban or Cat Power?

As surely everyone by now knows, Manhattan is overgrown with Starbucks. There’s one on almost every block. This made checking out today’s launch of the Starbucks-iPhone-iTunes Music store a cinch. At lunch therefore I wandered out of my office and across the street to the nearest green vitrine. As I opened the door, I tapped to [...]

Skype chat with Syd Low of Alien Camel

Readers know that I’m personally fascinated with the productivity aspect of our favorite device. This is what led me to participate in the Alien Camel iPhone email service beta. I’ve written about how much I’m enjoying this service on the iPhone before. But what’s going on with the beta at this time? Lurking in the background [...]

iPhone Credit Process Works Great!

Kewl! So I rushed home this evening to apply for my Apple iPhone Credit! Devoted readers may recall I rather predicted this day in my post referring to the similar Aperture rebate. But I won’t rub it in. It’s just important to remember that the Mothership tends to do the Right Thing in the end. Honestly, [...]

One of the most interesting and unique features about Alien Camel’s service is its Pending Email list. This works rather like call screening on your answering machine. Alien Camel presents you with a [...]

Alien Camel is an Australian provider located in Melbourne, using data centers in the USA and Germany. Relying on a mix of [...]

da reg-yuh-lah wid da itunez

As Stephane can tell you, I was planning to write a really super-cranky screed about a recent column in the Guardian by a tech writer, Jack Schofield, who seems to rather have a reputation for being anti-Apple and anti-iPhone. But then my husband pointed out the following four points to me: Negativity sucks and Directing innocent iPhone [...]

Enough wi’ da hate already peepz!

Whoa! With the Apple forums still dripping with bile, (and macrumors too) you’d think Steve had suddenly gotten a Redmond transplant. A lot of people have mentioned the Aperture example already, so I won’t spend time on it here. It’s amazing how fast the fanboiz turn on their hero, hmm? Steve has always described iPhone [...]

ClipHanger case for the iPhone

Got a new case for the iPhone this weekend. It’s the ClipHanger from, well, ClipHanger. They make lightweight plastic cases for a number of phones and devices. Snaps on quickly and very well engineered - it fits the iPhone like a glove. A hard, plastic, lightweight glove. All of the buttons remain available, and there [...]
