Backing up my iPhone is pretty much automatic with iTunes. It captures everything, apps, pics, preferences, music, contacts, etc. Is there an equivalent for the unrooted Android phones? I know a lot of people that recommend Titanium for rooted phones, but forestmaster does not intend to root her phone. Ideally I would like to sync everything in one location, ( Read more... )

Based upon many friends recommending the Evernote app for our phones, we both downloaded it and played with it a bit, but so far it hasn't been very practical for us. How do *you* use Evernote? Do you share a single account with someone else to make up a grocery list, or so you share lists and send them via email? Do you sync them with Dropbox? So ( Read more... )

And they are only loosely organized into 21 categories. ( Read more... )

Straight out of the box the iPhone 4S comes with a USB docking cord, an AC power adaptor, and earbuds. The USB cord allows you to connect your iPhone to a computer to sync, backup and recharge the battery, but it also plugs in to the AC adaptor to recharge your phone if you are away from a computer.

PROFILES! The iPhone is supposed to be smart-you should be able to tell it when you want only certain things to happen under certain circumstances. It was a rude surprise to hear the rather loud email notification come in at 3am when we were soundly sleeping. On many smart phones the user can set up preferences to keep the phone quiet during a ( Read more... )

I like Apple. I have used PC’s, UNIX workstations and Mac’s for decades, but I choose to use a Mac at home because they are reliable, stable, require little maintenance, and have true plug-and-play hardware. Apple builds quality products that just work-no muss, no fuss. ( Read more... )
