Palm Pre, I Hardly Knew You
Posted by EsquireMac in iPhone/iPod Touch on Jul 11th, 2009 | 2 comments
So, if you follow me on twitter (@esquiremac), you knew a long time ago that my wife and I returned our Palm Pre’s within the first week of owning them. I previously chronicled my thoughts about the Pre after my first two days of ownership about a month ago.
There were a lot of positives about the Pre. To name a few:
Hands down, best rate plan available, by a long shot;
Aside from the iPhone, probably the best darn phone out there;
Good 3G data access;
Nice size, comfortable fit in your hand or pocket;
Physical Keyboard;
Decent 3 megapixel, still camera;
Good IMAP email with multiple account...
Two Days With My Palm Pre
Posted by EsquireMac in iPhone/iPod Touch on Jun 7th, 2009 | 13 comments
Without a doubt, the Palm Pre is the best phone I have ever owned. Of course, that’s not saying much, since the previous best phone I ever owned was my Sanyo Katana that I’ve had for over 2.5 years, and it was just a plain ol’ phone.
Why Pre?
My wife and I have been getting along pretty well with each of us having a cell phone, iPod Touch, and a digital camera (of the Canon SD variety). We completed our latest 2 year contract with Sprint a little over 6 months ago, and we loved being contract free. We have been waiting for the iPhone to end exclusivity with AT&T and we both know...
OmniFocus, Things: You’re On The Hit List

There’s a new player on the field in the game of awesome-GTD-apps-for-the-Mac-…uh…-ball. It’s called The Hit List, and it’s made by the Potion Factory – the same folks who brought you Tangerine! and Voice Candy. I learned about this exciting new app from this article atThe Unofficial Apple Weblog. Not being able to control myself, I immediately applied for the private beta, promising Andy Kim, the developer, that I would put it through its paces and give him some feedback. Later that same night, I received my invitation and downloaded it immediately.
The beta...
Wish List for 2009

Here is my modest, if a bit geeky, list of things I’m looking forward to in 2009. This is not so much a “wish list” as a list of things that are more or less certain to happen that I happen to be excited about (now you see why “wish list” was a snappier title).
Chrome for Mac (they’re workin’ on it)
Journler 2.6 (While Phil Dow had originally hoped to have 2.6 ready by the end of December, he has confirmed this will not be the case. While he has considered selling the project, he has confirmed in a private message with a forum member that he intended to...
I have a thing for Things

Until very recently, I have not been a fan of GTD applications. Frankly, I resisted learning anything about David Allen’s widely celebrated methodology for getting things done. In my quest for a law practice management solution, however, I have tried out a lot of GTD type applications.
Recently, I have become a convert, and, although I have never read David Allen’s book, I have become convinced by some of the most rudimentary elements of his methodology (capture tasks, assign them to a context, assign them to a project, and move on)
One day, several weeks ago, I inexplicably became obsessed...
