This video really showcases the simplicity and usefulness of DropBox. I’ve been using it for sometime now and I find it to be invaluable. Being able to access my important documents from various devices such as my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and Mac desktops makes my digital world work. I especially like the fact that DropBox keeps a history of every change I make so that I can undo any mistakes and even undelete files if necessary.

Here’s a quick overview:

• Allows quick, easy way to share files
• It’s free up to 2gb of storage
• Online backup is automatic
• Allows you go back in time to undelete or undo changes to files

Dropbox replaces:

• Emailing file attachments to yourself and other people
• Using USB drives to move files between computers
• Renaming files to keep a history of previous versions
• Complicated backup software
• FTP servers, system-specific sharing methods, Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Simple pricing plan:

• FREE up to 2gb
• $9.95 per month up to 50gb
• $19.95 per month up to 100gb

If you have multiple devices and require access to the latest and greatest files, I encourage you to give it a spin.

While touring on the road with the B-52s, “The 88” lead vocalist Keith Slettedahl disovered and downloaded the “four track” app. Collectively as a band they thought they would attempt to record an entire song on the iPhone. Yep, there’s an app for that! Not only is it a great catchy tune, but it sounds fantastic as well!

Ze Frank strikes again with a funny new app! You don’t even have to visit the app store to get it!

Kindle - A slick hand-held book reading device by Amazon –  was all the buzz in the book publishing world when it was released back in November, 2007. Amazon was by no means the first to release a hand-held portable book reader far as technology was concerned. Others were first but the Kindle was the first to reach mass appeal. For starters it was deployed on the oldest and best known online book store. Surely this fact alone helped propel the Kindle to where it is today.

In February, 2009 Amazon released the much improved Kindle 2 which boasts more storage and a slimmer curvier design. Although I had always admired the Kindle from afar, it didn’t really seem practical for me to carry yet another device with me.

Fast forward to 2009 when Amazon released a Kindle app for iPhone (Also for iTouch).  Free to download, the  Kindle iPhone app is phenomenal!  At first I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not. However, after reading two pages of “The Four Hour Work Week” I was hooked. There is a control to vary the font size which is a rather well thought out feature. I started out with the smallest font size. After my eyes grew tired, I increased the font size. Nice! And with over 240,000 books to choose from, you can’t go wrong.

Since I already had an Amazon account, I was able to quickly download my first book. I attribute the success if the Kindle to the Amazon store. Think about it, how many people have an account there. Exactly. Much like Apple has done with the App Store for iPhone, Amazon has built it’s own content delivery system for the kindle. The difference is that people don’t have to learn something new or log into a new site. There is something to be said about instant gratification.

If you own an iPhone or a iTouch and you’re an avid reader, I strongly recommend this app!
