I’m sorry for the long downtime of my blog. My webhoster moved the server into a new location and during this transformation they made some mistakes with the network configuration so that the blog wasn’t accessible.

Since apple is building and updating the iPhone software they’ve forgotten to deal with the Notes on your iPhone. They’ve just backed up them and thats not enough for me. So today I release an application to manage the iPhone Notes on your Mac.
Currently implemented features:

• Download notes from your iPhone
• View the notes
• Edit (change,add and remove)
• Save them back to your iPhone

All that is currently just possible with a jailbroken iphone and installed OpneSSH over WiFi. But I’m trying to support a cable based notes transfer which should work with every iPhone.

Known issues:

• Works just with 1.1.3 or higher
• Only over WiFi with a jailbroken iPhone
• Sometimes nothing sows up. Just try to download the notes again and have a look at the log window

Download here: iPhoneNotes 0.1.1

This software is totally free and comes with absolutely no warranty

Update:
Version 0.1.1 added with fixed resizing problem.

Last week Apple introduced the new MacBook Air the world’s thinnest notebook. The world’s thinnest means 4 mm in the front to 19 mm in the back. I think thats just awesome! That’s so thin it’s unimaginable. But this size has its costs. The MacBook Air has no FireWire (400 nor 800), no Ethernet and no Audio-In. It has just one USB 2.0 Port, a micro-DVI Port and a headphone jacket. Now how can you connect it to the internet? The product name told it already. You connect it over the Air with 802.11n.

Based on the size it hasn’t a CD/DVD-ROM drive built in. You can just plug in (on that single USB port you have) an external one. I think thats a good solution in combination with that “Remote Disc” feature. Because last time I used the CD/DVD-ROM drive of my MacBook Pro was when i installed Mac OS 10.5.

Finally the price: The standard Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz model with 80GB 1.8″ HDD and 2GB RAM costs $1799. The 1.8GHz C2D costs $300 extra. For a SSD you will pay $999 extra. That makes it a really expensive notebook.

Conclusion
If you have the money for it and it’s not your only computer its a glorious ultra portable mac!

Rating: (-1 for the price and -1 for the missing ports)

Today I can release a new version of vCardExporter with a few bug-fixes.

Application description

Last autumn I was sad about the Apple Address Book’s vCard export function. If you d’ like to export more then one vCard, Address Book puts them all together in one file. But i d’ like to have them in separate files. So I took a bit of time and wrote this tiny application.
