Tweet Tweet - Just a twitter reminder
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Aug 14 2008 - 27 views
Despite today’s bad news for twitter fans overseas, I wanted to toss out a quick reminder that we actually have a twitter page. Not like we’ve used it a lot in the past - but we’ll be changing that starting very shortly - as in like right now. Why? Well because I’m a big twitter fan and I wish to impose my will upon others. Ok, not really - but I really do like twitter and in a lot of ways it beats having to check RSS or individual sites everyday. The other bonus to this is our twitter feed will be monitored. In other words, someone will be reading YOUR tweets and replying to them - so if you’ve got something to say - let’s get the conversation started. (Keep in mind sleep is required & we’ve got jobs so 24×7 isn’t exactly possible)
If you haven’t used twitter before, head on over to the main twitter page and sign up for an account. After that you can either click this link to get to the JAMM twitter page and then click the follow button, or you can click the little blue birdie lookin thing in our sidebar. Either way, click the little brown follow button and you’re off to the races.
If you’re new to the this whole thing and looking for the best way to keep up with JAMM using twitter … here’s a few suggestions to get you started:
Well, that’s about it for now. I’m sure we’ll have more to talk about on this little venture in the coming weeks - but for now just keep an eye out for @justamonday … and let us know in the comments if you want us to follow you too!

Posted by: Brandon Steili on Aug 14 2008 - 27 views
I’m not going to say a whole heck of a lot on this one. First - I want one. Second - no way I’m leaving AT&T and Third … WTF took so long for this phone to finally start hitting the streets?! (Oh and still no word on a GSM version.)
1. The Palm 800w is not meant to compete with the Apple iPhone
2. The Palm 800w is not meant to replace your iPod
3. The Palm 800w is not meant to wow you with slick graphics and smexxy web browsingHowever, the Palm 800w will:
1. Wow you with its amazing one-handed navigational skills and excellent keyboard
2. Allow you to be more connected that you possibly want to be, through the use of Exchange, Instant Messaging, Email, Texts, Voice, and Internet Sharing
3. Remind you of the things you like about the Windows Mobile Operating System, while providing a surprisingly stable experienceIf you can get past the fact that the Treo 800w is not an iPhone and it is not trying to be an iPhone replacement, then you will find yourself enjoying all that it is capable of doing. Do I want one? Yes. But not enough to go back to Sprint…

On My iPhone: DataCase hits the Appstore
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Aug 11 2008 - 62 views
This past week has been somewhat frustrating for me. You see I’ve been waiting for DataCase to hit the Appstore for some time now - and all last week all Apple seemed to be approving was crap. Sure there may have been a few decent apps out the last few days but I figure there was just about enough shit to sink a ship. All the while I was sitting there knowing that DataCase was just waiting in the wings. Now its here (finally) and I’m really looking forward to giving this app a run for my money.
As they said on their website and in the description it’s really easy to use (for the most part), but its a bit buggy in this first version. For Example, rotating a large PDF can take a lot longer than it should - like this one where I managed to stare at this screen for about 20 seconds…

Provocative title no?
Caution: Brandon Mini-Rant Coming.
First off, let’s start this one with the obvious… MobileFailMe. I’m not going to beat this one to death, because well frankly, I don’t use it. But, given the amount of issues they’ve had it hardly seemed timely to light off a good rant and not mention the fact that this was such a HUGE FAIL. I mean come on. Jobs had to come out and basically admit they made huge mistakes and that the service is not up to snuff. I personally have the money sitting right here and I want to get on the MobileMe bandwagon… but I won’t won’t bother buying into it (and I own a Mac) until it comes with a whole lot less … 
Next up … iPhone 2.0/2.0.1 - the most recent definition of head up the you know what. Apple made a vital mistake - they told us long in advance what date 2.0 was coming out, and come hell or high water the product was going to launch. There’s no way Steve was going to Read more »

Congrats to Evernote! Lifehacker Top Five Tools For Notes
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Jul 31 2008 - 45 views
HEY! HEY YOU!
I’m not totally sure if you’ve been under a rock lately, so just in case you haven’t noticed, one of the tools I’ve been preaching about for a while now is really starting to hit the big time - including having made it to onto what (if I was a developer) would consider to be a very coveted list … the Lifehacker readers list of the top 5 note-taking tools. With other things in the list like good old pen and paper (moleskine, hipster PDA) as well as things like One Note from Microsoft, this is a big event for the folks at Evernote I’m sure. I’m know I’m thrilled for them!
Anyway, here’s a bit more info from the Lifehacker post - including some links for how to get on the Evernote train. For me its still a daily use application - one I use seamlessly on my work PC, my Macbook and my iPhone. Also, if you have time click on through to Lifehacker to put your opinion in … they’re now voting to see which one is the best!
Evernote (Windows/Mac, Free)Evernote is a free, cross-platform universal capture application. With support for text, images, audio, tagging, and syncing between its web interface and all of your desktop installations, Evernote offers seamless capturing of information no matter where you are. Images you add to Evernote are searchable by text, and Evernote even supports several mobile devices—including the iPhone and Windows Mobile phones. If you can’t install Evernote on a computer, you can also use Evernote’s web interface and clipping bookmarklet to pull anything into your notebook. Evernote is free to use, provides 40MB per month of upload space; for $5 per month or $45 per year, you get 500MB.

iPod nano 4G more like 2G or Zune?
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Jul 31 2008 - 40 views
You know, I really hope the mock-ups I’ve been seeing around the web are NOT indicative of what the new iPod Nano “Fatty” is going to look like. I’ve just recently picked up a 3rd Generation model and I love it. The form factor is excellent, screen is actually very good for viewing movies (despite how incredibly small it is) and there’s nothing better for tossing into a pocket and hitting the road. Originally when I got it I thought there was no way I would be watching video on this thing, but I’ll tell you after a couple weeks of taking it to work with me and a camping trip that I made with it - I’ve gone through 5 or 6 movies and not once have I thought about the screen size being too small.
The ONLY gripe I have with the device is that they put the headphone jack on the bottom … which is a dumb move considering you have to have the thing on the bottom edge to watch movies (screen doesn’t rotate). But other than that, as I mentioned its so easy to pocket the “fatty” and forget about it being there until you want it. I can’t think that making the Nano taller just so you can gain a few millimeters of screen size is going to be of any real benefit. But what do I know … it’s not like I’ve been sitting around the office winning design awards lately…
