The Reader feature in Safari 5 can change your whole web experience

by Mel Martin (Jun 8th, 2010)

I'm surprised Apple didn't hype the Reader feature in Safari 5 a bit more. It's almost a stealth function, and you might not even notice it is there. My colleague Dave Caolo touched on it in his Safari 5 overview, and I want to make sure everyone tries it. (If you're a fan of the Readability ...

When Seesmic met Evernote

by Mike Schramm (May 23rd, 2010)

Evernote has announced Seesmic integration over on its blog -- often while reading Twitter on my iPhone, I'll see people tweeting links to videos or long pages that I just don't have the time to check out over my EDGE connection. In the past, I've favorited the tweets, but that's not an ideal ...

First Look: Twitter for iPhone

by TJ Luoma (May 19th, 2010)

It took a little longer than expected, but Twitter for iPhone (née Tweetie) is now available. Mostly it looks exactly the same as Tweetie 2, with the exception of a new icon (shown here). I was surprised to see that Twitter for iPhone doesn't use OAuth, meaning that we'll be seeing another ...

by TJ Luoma (Mar 2nd, 2010)

Instapaper Pro has been updated to version 2.2. Its creator, Marco Arment, wrote about some of the process behind adding a new feature called "Return to Position."

Gameloft backs iPhone and backs away from Android

by Ken Ray (Nov 23rd, 2009)

To iPhone or not to iPhone? That is the question on which a number of high-profile app developers are weighing-in. A couple of weeks ago it was Facebook app developer Joe Hewitt and software maker Rogue Amoeba saying they'd had enough of jumping through hoops to be on the iPhone and that they'd be ...

by Dave Caolo (Nov 7th, 2009)

Bambooapps has released a simple and useful utility called Quiet Read that has earned a spot on my Mac's menubar. With a simple drag-and-drop, it lets you save a web page for later review. Of course, there are many apps that do this, including Instapaper and Evernote. Instapaper gets the job done ...

How to sell an iPhone app for $9.99

by Mike Schramm (Nov 24th, 2008)

Marco over on the Instapaper blog (which, of course, is the blog of the app Instapaper), posted a really interesting commentary recently on a subject we've been following since the beginning: App Store pricing. As we've said before, it's a strange thing -- developers want higher prices so that they ...

Friday Favorite: Instapaper for iPhone/iPod touch

by Michael Rose (Oct 31st, 2008)

Another Friday Favorite, our weekly opportunity to get all sloppy over our most-loved applications. I'll admit that when I first started trying out Instapaper, as a quick and dirty "bookmark this for later" web service, I didn't see that many advantages to it. There's delicious.com for bookmarking ...

Developers discuss future plans

by Dave Caolo (Sep 3rd, 2008)

Two popular Mac developers have taken the time to blog the future of their applications. First, Marco Arment has written about his plans for Instapaper for iPhone and iPod touch. If you haven't tried Instapaper yet, you're missing out. Basically, the desktop version is simply a web bookmarklet that ...
