Obligatory iPhone Post
The world doesn’t need another blogger raving about his iPhone, but I just can’t resist any longer. I finally got my iPhone a few weeks ago and it has lived up to the extremely high hopes that I had for it. I put my old Sony Walkman phone to bed permanently and I have to chuckle at the post I made back in 2006 calling it an iPod Nano Killer.
Here are some of the ways that the iPhone has been sucking up my time so far:
Website optimization
This blog along with my other sites are now optimized for the iPhone browser. If you are a web designer, you should definitely check out the article at A List Apart for a good introduction to designing websites for the iPhone.
Email
I switched all my email accounts to IMAP from POP. This works better with the iPhone. I don’t want to get into the details, but if you are going to use email on your phone you should do some research on IMAP.
Portfolio on my phone
As a recent convert to iPhoto, I am just starting to realize how great that program is. One thing I can do is create a photo album in iPhoto of all my design samples. Then I can sync that album to my phone and I instantly have my design portfolio on my phone. Pretty handy, or at least I think it will be.
Twitter
I finally signed up for twitter and you can now follow my tweets in the sidebar of this blog.
Album Art
Now that I have an iPod that displays album art, it was time to update the music in my library that lacked album covers. A big chunk of my music wasn’t purchased through iTunes, or is somewhat obscure, so I had a big chore of updating my songs. A big help was an Applescript that creates a playlist of all songs without album art.
Wish list
An iPhone password application that syncs with my MacBook Pro. I use Steel currently. Pastor looks promising.
