About this Splore

For all you iPhone / iPad / Android (ok, even Blackberry) users out there, I'm interested to know what your favorite apps are. I've got pages and pages of them on my iPhone, though I admit I only use a handful very regularly. Always on the lookout for another good app, though!

Apple to-do list (GTD) info needed

OK I've finally been allowed at work to switch from Blackberry to iPhone technology. So I now have a Dell laptop at work and an iPad and iPhone. What is the best way to manage tasks?

I use Outlook as my main email, calendar, contacts, and To-Do task management program. The outlook mail, calendar, and contacts all sync between devices very well. However it appears that Apple really doesn't have much in the way of a native task manager system.

So my question to all of you apple power users is what is the best way to manage my many tasks from Outlook?

I'm prepared to abandon the outlook task manager if there is something superior that I can use between all of my devices. The app store has a lot to choose from but I'm hoping to get help from all you Apple experts out there.

iPhone vs. Android vs. Blackberry 4 Old Folks!

My mom and my mother-in-law are both wanting to get "smart phones." I've had all three platforms -- and I am in a bind because I don't want to recommend any of them, because they'd hate me if they didn't like it! I'm on the Android platform now and love it. However, I think the keyboard and simplicity of Blackberry might be better. But then, there'a the iPhone! What to do!!!!

Both women are on basic flip phones. Any recommendations? Any experience with older users adapting to smart phones?

Obviously the iphone and droid have had much success with their wide variety of apps and capabilities. However, there has got to be areas in which one of these smartphones is superior to the other. I would like to hear your opinion on which is more user friendly and better overall.

I know, it sounds like a waste of time, but it's fun. It is like an intense aerobics video for your fingers. And it has really cool swirly colors in the background and it does make you think ahead and improve reflexes. My favorite is the coldplay version.

I had to send a text to my daughter at school and used textplus.

She got an urgent babysitting request and I needed to let the person know right away if she could babysit that evening. I couldn't find my purse (with phone in it), and I quickly downloaded textplus and it worked great. I also left a message on her phone and emailed her, but it's the texts that she gets in real time.

So today, that was my favorite app.

Must haves for Droid

Battery Booster (free - in the Market look for the one with a script "B" on a battery) - helps manage your battery life and gives icon showing battery % (more precise than default battery icon)

Advanced Task Killer (free) - easily view and kill running apps

Android Assistant (free) - like Task Manager for your Droid

Evernote

This one is quickly becoming one of my most used apps. I use it mostly to capture and organize web pages I find interesting as I'm browsing around (I always forget what I thought was so cool the next day!). It can do lots more, though, and has mobile apps as well as native apps for PC, Mac, etc.
