Sparrow for iPhone 1.1
New version 1.1 of Sparrow for iPhone. Check the App Store.
Sparrow for iPhone
Yes, I’m a big fan of Sparrow. It is my default Mail client on the iMac. And it will the default mail client on the iPhone.
Biggest disadvantage? Push isn’t supported. I hope they will clear the things with Apple to support push.
But for now, Sparrow for iPhone is worth the money.
Federico Viticci wrote a great review.
iPad 3
I will be running for the iPad 3.
Why did I not buy iPad 2? The answer is on the hand: it hasn’t a retina display.
Look, I have an iPhone 4 with retina display. How would it look like changing between a gadget with and a gadget without retina display? You can’t do that to your eyes.
And I won’t replace my current iPhone any time soon. It doesn’t matter what specs will iPhone 5 have.
Flipboard for iPhone was released today (and iPod; it is an universal app now). It’s a big thing, especially for those who don’t own an iPad. I have to create a Flipboard account.
Paying for something
I shared a blog post by Pinboard’s author Maciej Ceglowski. In one sentence hi says this: if you want to use a web service for a while you must use a one you have to pay for.
I agree. I am a Pinboard user. I paid for it 9 and something dollars. Never regretted.
I am supporting Marco Arment and Instapaper by paying some fee evert three months. What is the result of it? I think a fantastic iOS app. Search option of saved articles. And hopefully, a long term service.
wunderlist
I started using wunderlist on both my iMac in iPhone. I miss one big feature: repeating tasks. I really hope we will see this feature soon.
But for now I’m using iCal for repeating tasks - reminders for paying the bills.
My next iPhone app is LogMeIn
Already using the free web interface of LogMeIn. One of the best services out there. And for free. For money you get even more.
Alien Blue, a Reddit iPhone app
I never new it exists until today. I bought iReddit in the first place and didn’t bother myself looking for a new Reddit app.
Looks promising.
Posterous for iPhone
I am writing this with the Posterous app and it is fun. I am not typing as fast as on my iMac’s keyboard but it is not that bad.
The first impression is good.
I recommend an another app: my6sense. Look for it, runs on iPhone and Android.

I won’t make any predictions but hope Apple will enable “multitasking”.
