The rapid fire updates we saw in July and August have slowed substantially. Were I would have seen three or four updates of my existing apps each night I now see one at most. Fortunately that one update is often a biggee and this is no exception.

I’ve made no secret of how big a fan I have become of the organizational service reQall. It is a planner, a transcriber and a "memory jogger" and is one of the most important productivity apps on my iPhone. The current update was released without fanfare but it takes reQall to an entirely new level.

With this update-

–Syncing with reQall’s server has been made faster and more reliable. (I tested it a few times and it is MUCH faster!)

–Audio created on an IPhone 3G uploads more quickly. (MUCH more quickly!)

–The reQall service can now automatically decide how to organize items you add via text or voice. "If you use the word "buy" it will be added to your shopping list.  If you say "Note" it will be added to your notes."

Best of all…

Lest we forget that the iPhone and iPod Touch include the "best iPod ever"…

MusicWeek is reporting that Snow Patrol’s upcoming album will merge the iPhone/iPod Touch’s musical roots and cutting edge computing prowess and, in so doing, introduce a new era in downloadable music.

This has me pretty excited-

A few years back there was a cute little online game that came out that quietly caught the imagination of any of us.

The goal of Line Rider was simple- draw lines and then have the Line Rider take a trip along the "path" you have created. With practice you were able to have the ride last longer and long… or you could have the rider crash in all sorts of creative ways. Eventually "Rides" were created and shared that were mindblowingly complex.

There are times when you just need to take and send a quick voice note to yourself or someone else. You don’t need it transcribed the way reQall and Jott can. You don’t need it stored for eternity the way Evernote can. You just need to create and send a note simply and without the time-constraints  of 30 seconds to 5 minutes like those other apps have.

That’s where Note2Self comes in. It makes quick business of recording notes.

While I use Evernote and reQall, I also use Note2Self on a regular basis and highly recommend it.

Best of all the App Store is showing a significant price reduction.

You can now purchases Note2Self for just $.99.

I have used Note2Self since it was first released and have had the opportunity to use a beta version of the update. It is incredibly useful!

As the new television programming season (such as it is) gets under way guess who is still missing from the iTunes catalogue?

Yup, the NBC/Apple separation continues.

As a result NBC shows won’t be on iPhone (or any other Apple product)- at least not as official downloads.

Right after the split NBC shot back with their own streaming/download service directly from their site.

That was one thing. This, however, was downright amusing…

What device did they use to advertise their service?????
