Business Cards on the Fly
My favourite app of the moment is called Camcard. This handy app allows you to create business card contact entries on your phone by taking a picture on your phone. Even handier is the ability to select an email signature which automatically gets imported into Camcard. The fields get mapped to a contact entry which is seamless and extremely useful.
Handwriting Made Easy
Further use is the writing ability of the tablet. Thanks for JaffeJuice for informing me of this. His recommended note apps are: Noteshelf and Penultimate. He describes Noteshelf as "awesome".
You be the judge!
I just received my first ipad Stylus purchased from Amazon so I'll be able to take notes very soon and will let you know how it goes. Now I'm just missing an ipad cover that can store the pen ...
Juice Pack for iPhone 4
This one is an actual gadget! Having purchased a Mophie Juice Pack for my iPhone 3, I was very unexpectedly impressed with the same product for the iPhone 4 (which is just slurping up battery life since I'm using it as a mini-PC thesedays as every app under the sun is available enhancing my otherwise dull life). The product is sleek and stunning, doing the trick impeccably. It simply looks like a cool protective phone cover and battery life is amazing. It brings a host of intelligence to the simply job of extra battery life, like the fact that it depletes itself first before calling on the phone's battery life. I highly recommend this product!
My Next Laptop
What will it be? I've had the same PC (a Sony Vaio) since starting JaffeBlend nearly 4 years ago. What a better gift for my 4 year anniversary than a new gadget.... ? Of course, I also have a MacBook Pro - but that's primarily for family video and photo storage and editing. I'm interested to hear back from you with some suggestions and your personal favourites. Shall I stick with Sony Vaio....? Feel free to comment or email me with your suggestions.
