I’m going to definitely try Appifier out. I’ve signed up for an account. The concept is simply fantastic if you’re using WordPress. The service interfaces with the WordPress back-end to automatically populate your app. There’s no need to rely on transcoding RSS feeds. The price point is simply fabulous too — $39/month or a one-off [...]

MobDB: The ready-to-use backend for your mobile app
I came across MobDB the other day thanks to one of those beta lists that I completely forget the name of. When I remember, I’ll update the post. Anyway this one really caught my eye as I think I could seriously use it for a number of applications. Let’s take a step back. What’s the one [...]
NetQin’s got a new Co-CEO and a completely new brand: NQ Mobile
Congratulations to Omar Khan on joining NetQin. Omar was formerly the Chief Product and Technology Officer of Samsung Mobile so that’s a rather smart hire for the NetQin team that will give them even more clout. This news comes hot on the heels of their appointment of the mobile industry superstar, Geoff Casely as their [...]

Why you really need a scanned copy of your Passport on DropBox (or Evernote)
Did you catch this story doing the rounds and picked up by The Telegraph today? A Canadian chap used his iPad as a passport to get into and out of the country: Martin Reisch said on Tuesday a slightly annoyed US border officer let him cross into the United States from Quebec after he presented [...]

Video Demo: Pay for your Cappuccino with your iPhone
Following up on my Starbucks post earlier today, thanks to Carl Martin who pointed out this fabulous video from the Starbucks crew showing the all new Starbucks app being used to pay for coffee. Here’s the video:

Use your iPhone to pay for your Starbucks in the UK
Thank you to reader Iain Mercer who emailed this morning about Starbucks. As a loyal fan of Starbucks filter coffee, Iain has using their reward card enthusiastically along with the hundreds of thousands of other caffeine addicted Brits. For a while now Iain’s been using the Starbucks iOS app to easily locate his nearest shop [...]
Siri & Remember The Milk: A genius implementation
Now that I’ve actually got an iPhone 4S to use on a regular basis, I’ve been giving Siri a lot of attention. The other day I happened upon this post from the Remember The Milk blog that got my mind buzzing. Remember the Milk (“RTM”) is an online todo list service (and it’s available on [...]

Santa’s Big Helper: Rather useful for young children this week
Our little Archie just turned 18 months old and already he is a dab hand at the iPad. It’s being rather useful when we’re trying to distract him from teething discomfort — but at the same time, we’re trying to avoid making it a guaranteed addition to ‘business as usual’, lest he grow up unable [...]

Path v2 has arrived: Have you downloaded it yet?
Just over 11 months ago, I downloaded Path — a rather nice app for sharing events and photos. I had a play around and, if memory serves, used it a few times and then moved on. Fast forward to today and all of a sudden I am receiving tons and tons of invitations to use [...]

How I spent £432 in 4 minutes on my iPad
Last night I was on the phone to my father catching up on the week’s excitement. Of course, the Christmas period is arriving fast and one of his particular tasks this weekend is to pick up Gran. This means driving from Essex to Glasgow, staying overnight and then driving back with Gran. My father quite [...]
Update your flipping apps on your iPhone: PLEASE!
This post over at Textually got me going. It shows a very busy iPhone screen. What annoyed the hell out of me was the fact that there are 16 apps waiting for an update. ARRRRGH! I simply cannot stand it when someone shows me their iPhone for some reason or other. You know, to demonstrate [...]
Shoeboxed: I’m really enjoying dumping the clutter
Have you checked out Shoeboxed.com recently? It’s the service that takes physical paper clutter from you and then scans/organises it in an online locker. I’ve been using it for receipts, business cards, bills, invoices — all the sorts of things I tend to have to hoard just-in-case. More recently I’ve been using either their app [...]
