Steve Jobs: iPad users each downloading 17 apps, 2.5 iBooks on average

In the introductory moments of his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs revealed the fact that there are now more than eight thousand iPad-specific apps in the App Store, and that each iPad user is downloading an average of seventeen apps. He also stated that nearly one fourth of all digital books are already being sold via the iBooks iPad app, representing a blow to Amazon’s Kindle eBook platform. Each iPad user has downloaded an average of 2.5 iBooks books thus far. A new version of iBooks is being released. Source: Engadget and MacObserver live blogs.

“Twitter for BlackBerry” trademarked, “Twitter for iPhone” not

“iPhone” and “BlackBerry” are both registered trademarks according to the U.S. government’s website for trademarks, so that begs the question of why Twitter is using the “R in a circle” registered trademark symbol for BlackBerry but not for iPhone. Take these two recent tweets, for instance, from two of Beatweek’s favorite musicians, one of whom is using the new official “Twitter for BlackBerry” app and the other is using the even newer “Twitter for iPhone” app, both of which are owned by Twitter itself:

The difference is subtle, but it’s plainly visible above: Twitter for BlackBerry has the R in a circle after it, Twitter for iPhone doesn’t. Checking around Twitter, it turns out the same thing is consistent no matter who’s doing the tweeting: Twitter lists BlackBerry as being a registered trademark in the app name, and yet Twitter doesn’t list iPhone in that same manner. Odd, then, because it’s famously been Apple who likes to go berserk over trademark issues. Then again, Twitter’s iPhone app is officially referred to merely as “Twitter” in the App Store; in fact there’s not a single Twitter client in the App Store with the word “iPhone” in its name, which could be to avoid confusion for iPod touch users, or it could be because Apple’s not allowing it. If it’s the latter, it would make it even stranger that Twitter hasn’t bothered to use the registered trademark symbol next to the word iPhone. Then again, Twitter for iPhone was just released a few days ago, and it could simply be an oversight in the rush to get it out the door.

Interestingly, several Twitter apps for iPad in the App Store do contain the word “iPad” in their name, which could be incidental to the fact that Apple hasn’t yet successfully won the registration battle for the “iPad” name. And of course there’s no official “Twitter for iPad” app just yet.

iPhone apps developed in web browser unlikely to be worth using

Blanket statements when dealing with hundreds of thousands of apps can be a dangerous proposition, but here’s one that’s likely to hold up far more often than not: iPhone apps developed via a plain old web browser aren’t going to be worth using, at least not when there are so many other apps developed with real tools to choose from. This is not a crack on the abilities of those opting to use a web browser interface to crank out iPhone apps, but rather a condemnation of the web browser itself. Before Apple officially launched third party apps, the first year of iPhone history was littered with apps which could only be used through the device’s built in web browser, and those web app universally turned out to be inferior to the “real” apps which officially graced the iPhone platform once the App Store launched. And while App Store apps developed in a web browser are likely to be more sophisticated than those apps that had to be used through a web browser, they’re likely to suffer from the same limitations centered around the fact that the web browser is at this point very much a product of a rapidly fading phase of the internet.

While most computer users still use a web browser for most of their internet activity, higher level internet functionality – particularly on the mobile side – has begun shifting to dedicated apps, with mobile web browsers typically used for little more than reading articles and web searches. And desktop computing is showing early signs of following suit, with the Mac twitter client Tweetie (and Windows equivalents) suggesting that the tasks performed via standalone apps on mobile devices in here in 2010 are likely to also be performed via standalone apps on desktop computers within a year or two. So with the web browser increasingly being displaced by dedicated apps for higher level internet usage, it doesn’t take a lot to connect the dots as to why using twentieth century technology as a tool for developing twenty-first century products is likely to end up with a result that feels like it’s a decade behind the times.

iPhone texting shunned by app

Those iPhone users who are so popular that they’re being barraged with too many SMS text messages to be able to focus on anything else can now breathe a sigh of relief; there’s an app for that too. The aptly entitled “Don’t Text Me” app allows users to notify their contacts when they’re going to be in a situation in which receiving text messages would not be a good idea.

According to developer Dr. Sev Hrywnak, “All you need to do is create a list of the people who constantly text you, store it and, with the push of one button it notifies them not to text you while you are driving. When you have arrived at your destination, you press another button which tells your contacts you are available and can receive text messages.”

The “Don’t Text Me” app is currently available for free in the App Store. Other methods which iPhone users may also work well in such situations include simply ignoring incoming text messages, putting their phone down, or turning their phone off.

Verizon: iPhone = your kid murdered

Cellphone carriers haven’t hesitated to take potshots (of varying degrees of subtlety) at each other of late in their television ads, with the AT&T/iPhone camp and the Verizon camp not surprisingly going after each other in the least subtle of ways; AT&T is trying to convince Verizon’s current subscribers that the allure of the iPhone is worth changing carriers, while Verizon is trying to convince said subscribers that their subpar network isn’t quite as bad as AT&T’s subpar network.

But in catching two ads on television this afternoon in rapid succession, one from Apple/AT&T and the next from Verizon, I was struck at just how different the message (if not the identically cheerfully-voiced tenor) of the two ads was: Apple was promoting the idea of using your iPhone to make a cute video of your child, and then easily jumping on a conference call to share with others. Verizon, on the other hand, was showing off an app that allows you to keep tabs on your kids when they wander off. However, Verizon goes on to imply that only their 3G network can be trusted to work well enough to allow the app to do its job of spying tracking your teenagers as they move through the mall (the best part of the ad is that the teenager being tracked apparently turned out to be within visible distance of the parent, who might have spotted the kid sooner if not for being face-down in a cellphone).

In appreciation of Verizon’s new revelation that something bad will happen to your family if you switch to the iPhone AT&T, I came up with a few slogans that I think Verizon should adopt in the same of being more straightforward about what their cheerfully creepy ad is trying to imply:

“Verizon: helping parents stalk their kids since 2010″

“Every time another Verizon subscriber leaves us in favor of the iPhone, our network gets a little more reliable!”

“Verizon: we’re just going to keep telling our current subscribers that our network is perfect, and some of them will even believe it!”

…and my personal favorite:

“Stick with Verizon. Because switching to the iPhone will get your teenage children kidnapped and murdered.”

But to my mind, nothing beats the message behind Sprint’s latest television ads:

“Sure, we have no cellphones to offer that you’d actually want to use, but we’re really cheap now!”

review: Incipio 1337

February 2, 2010 by Bill Palmer · 1 Comment 

iPhone users have seen their share of full-on gaming “cases” with such large protruding handles that the result looks more like an xBox controller than an iPhone case – and while such products do enhance the iPhone gaming experience, they’re not exactly going to fit into your pocket. With its 1337, Incipio attempts to split the difference by building in a pair of backside grips that are large enough to matter but small enough that it still be used as a carrying case in a practical manner.

In my tests with the 1337 (and yes, those “tests” consisted primarily of playing games on my iPhone), I found that my meager gaming skills did seem to improve slightly. Perhaps more importantly was that I was able to play longer before my hands grew tired, thanks to a far more ergonomic grip than if I were playing with my iPhone in a flat-backed rubber case or no case at all.

As a case, the 1337 is nothing special, but it gets the job done: a choice of several colors, and the inclusion of a pair of screen protectors are the highlights. It fit in my pocket okay, even with its pair of backside protrusions, but if you wear tight pants you might not feel as enthusiastic about the prospects.

If I were sitting down for a serious iPhone gaming session, my weapon of choice in theory would still be Marware’s Game Grip or Tunewear’s Game Handle. But as neither of those has any hope of coming close to being portable, if I were choosing a product that could serve as a realistic carrying case and improve my gaming experience, Incipio’s 1337 would be my winner. It’s a compromise product, as is usually the case when one product is attempting to do the job of two, but it’s a well done compromise.

MenuPages iPhone menu app

January 29, 2010 by Bill Palmer · 1 Comment 

The popular restaurant menu website MenuPages.com has released an official iPhone app which takes advantage of the device’s GPS functionality to offer users a choice of local restaurants in map or list view, then sorted and narrowed based on user criteria, and also displays the menus of the selected restaurants.

According to Menupages founder Greg Barton, “While there’s no shortage of restaurant apps in the iTunes store, MenuPages will quickly distinguish itself with its comprehensiveness and utility. We know that MenuPages’ loyal users will find the app was worth the wait, and we expect to introduce a whole new group of users to our offerings.”

MenuPages for iPhone and iPod touch is available for free in the App Store.

Apple unveils iPad

January 27, 2010 by Bill Palmer · 1 Comment 

Ready, set, imagine.

We no longer have to imagine whether Apple’s theoretical tablet device might be real, or what it might be called, or any of the specs or pricing. Ranging from $499 to $699 (or for some of us, $629 to $829, but we’ll get to that later), the iPad is largely what enthusiasts imagined it would be: a ten inch tall iPhone that doesn’t make phone calls but is fully App Store-compatible. For once, Apple’s pricing is significantly lower than what most of us were expecting. Every one of your existing iPhone or iPod touch apps will work on the iPad without modification, although it’ll initially mean using them in only a fraction of the screen (or scaling them up, which may not be pretty), until app developers modify their apps for higher resolution. While a virtual keyboard is the default, you can buy a physical keyboard as an add-on. A modified version of Apple’s iWork productivity suite can be added for $10 per app. And you can even buy the device with or without AT&T’s 3G cellular data network service. So, except for those in love with Verizon, everyone got what they wanted.

Here’s the question, though: do we know what we want from the iPad? All through Steve Jobs’ presentation, I heard all about all the things you can do with it – and wow is it ever groundbreaking. This device could in fact, once the hardware grows up in subsequent versions, begin to replace the personal computer as many people’s computing device of choice. But what I didn’t hear anywhere in there from Steve was why you would use the iPad, where you would use it, when you would use it.

The iPod didn’t need those questions answered in 2001 because it sought to replace the Walkman. The iPhone didn’t need an answer because most of us had already been using a cellphone. But the iPad? Initially at least, it doesn’t replace anything. Here’s a device that doesn’t fit in your pocket so it doesn’t replace your iPod, and yet it doesn’t (currently) have enough horsepower to replace your laptop in anything more than a sometimes scenario.

I’m fairly convinced that the success or failure of the iPad is going to come down to the collective imagination of its potential userbase. If many of you are already thinking of real world situations in which you could put it to good use, then the iPad’s prospects are bright. At the least, this product will find niches, especially with this price tag, but I don’t think that’s what Apple is aiming for here.

Perhaps the most controversial initial aspect is that the iPad doesn’t come with 3G functionality unless you pay $130 extra up front – I see it as a mere toy without 3G (in which you’d be hunting for wifi), but the good news is users can each decide for themselves. The 3G is prepaid, no contract, $30/month unlimited or $15/month capped.

iProng Magazine issue #59: David Gray, Apple iPad and more

January 27, 2010 by Bill Palmer · Leave a Comment 

As Steve Jobs pointed out this morning, we’re currently living at the intersection of art and technology – and this issue of iProng Magazine is a perfect example. One the one hand it’s got an interview with rock star David Gray, and on the other it’s got the lowdown on the newly unveiled Apple iPad, which among other things, is a groundbreaking new way to consume artistic content.

Then again, as a counterpoint, David’s cautionary take on technology like Twitter in our cover story interview provides an interesting contrast to the notion that more communication equals better communication – well, you’ll have to read it for yourself. He also talks about his new single Fugitive, which is his biggest hit song in years, as well as how he creates his songs in general.

In addition to the details and initial thoughts on the iPad, this issue also brings us reviews of four new apps that work with the iPhone, iPod touch, and ahem, the iPad – along with hands on reviews of several new iPod and iPhone accessories.

And because one music interview is never enough, this issue includes conversations with indie artists Lucy Schwartz (whose songs you’ve probably heard on TV and in movies) and Joséphine Ancelle (whose songs you’ve likely heard on podcasts).

We’ll be publishing more iPad-related coverage on our website all week, so keep your eyes glued to iProng.com for developing details.

CES 2010 preview

January 4, 2010 by Bill Palmer · Leave a Comment 

And we’re off to the races. Barely a week into 2010, and it’s already time for the first major conference that relates to the iPhone and iPod universe. While CES is a massive event spread over several exhibit halls, and the vast majority of it doesn’t have much to do with said iPhone and iPod universe, iProng will be in Las Vegas with bells on once again this week in order to provide you with first hand coverage of all of the iPhone and iPod related products that make their debut at the event.

This year’s CES will likely offer more in that department than in previous years. While the number of worthwhile products for iPhone or iPod that debuted at CES last year could literally be counted on two or maybe three fingers, that total should easily reach double digits this year thanks to the inclusion of a couple dozen new iPhone/iPod related exhibitors. While rumors of Apple’s participation this year turned out to be unfounded, and claims of unifying the iPhone/iPod exhibitors into a single pavilion have turned out to be overblown (I think half of our iPhone and iPod related appointments are scheduled to take place away from that pavilion, with various vendors choosing to park themselves far away from the pavilion for reasons that only they know), the good news is that the “off the record” sneak peeks we’ve been sent suggest that there will indeed be something to write home about. Our CES 2010 coverage, including our “Best of Show” winners, will be included in the January 12th issue of iProng Magazine – and when the event kicks off on January 7th you can follow along with us for up to the minute updates on iProng.com and on our Twitter feed. While Macworld 2010 in February is likely to produce far more new products for iPhone and iPod users, CES in January should at least tide you over in the mean time.

Steve Vai interview

December 15, 2009 by Bill Palmer · 3 Comments 

An invitation to guitar legend Steve Vai’s house is bound to conjure up images of instruments and amps piled sky high. But when Steve and I sat down this month at his place, the mad scientist vibe was decidedly more futuristic: there were more Apple products in the room than there were people, and a glance at Steve’s iTunes library revealed that he’s got more iPhone apps than I do.

Having just returned home from tour, and not long after the release his “Where The Wild Things Are” concert DVD, Steve was happy to broach any topic that came up – but the vibe of the room we were sitting in dictated that we start with Apple, a topic which has been a part of Steve’s life for three decades…

When did you first find your way into the Apple stuff?

The very, very beginning. I’ve had every version of Apple desktop, from the first one. Before that I bought Commodore computers. It was very thrilling. You know it’s kind of funny, just for nostalgia it would have been nice to have kept at least one permeation of each generation, but then again, I’d have to build another house to hold them all. But I’ve always taken information and moved it forward.

Were you an early adopter with the iPod and iPhone?

Absolutely. I was late to use a cellphone in general. But as soon as iPods were available, my only problem was getting past the inferior sound quality of the audio. It’s improved quite a bit once the lossless came out, and now you can buy much better resolution. If I had to go find a CD player right now, I wouldn’t know where to look.

But I was very unhappy with using cellphones. I avoided them my whole life. And I’ve had them, you know, the cellphones where you’ve got to open them and then type the three letters before you get to the letter you want, and they were just so user unfriendly and unintuitive and such a pain in the ass to navigate through that it was like a nightmare every time I would open up my cellphone. So I never used it. And the reason why I finally got a cellphone was because Apple came out with one that I knew would be intuitive and user friendly, but still I was very apprehensive. But my kids live in a new generation. If I call them and leave a message they don’t return the call. If I email them they don’t even return emails. The only way that I was able to communicate with my kids was to start texting them. So I had to get something that I could text with, cause I wasn’t gonna go through it with these idiotic cellphones. And as soon as I got the iPhone I realized that the texting was a great way to communicate, but forget it man, now the iPhone has got everything. It’s like a conduit for me, and a lot of people, to my everyday activities.

It looks like you’re enjoying it. I see you on there with Tweetie, posting on Twitter.

I tweet, I keep track of exercise routes and bike rides. I just got the Starbucks app, there’s so many apps that I use constantly. The flashlight app is just priceless.

I have these apps that when I travel they’re priceless. When I travel, I wake up in a city, I don’t even know where I am sometimes. The first thing I do is turn on my iPhone, I see where I am, I see what time it is in that location, I hit “Map” and I find out exactly where I am, and I can look at the surroundings to see where I can go jogging. I just type in “Starbucks” and it gives me everything I need to know about that. I see where the venue is. I see what the temperature is. And I have a complete lay of the land before I leave the bus. This is valuable.

I see you’ve got Guitar Toolkit on there.

I’ve got Guitar Toolkit, if I’m in Europe I have language converters, I have money converters, feet and inch converters, everything. Dictionaries that I use constantly. I have this fitness program that I really like. I’m constantly using G-Park. I’d be doomed without it. I’m losing my spot constantly. And there’s all these great music programs for ear training and composing. One of my favorites is a Woody Allen quote book. I’m always looking for films.

For recording song ideas it’s absolutely priceless. That’s how I write songs. I take my iPhone and I just sing a melody, or I play a melody, and I have hundreds of them in there right now. And then I have notes for song ideas constantly. I never did this before. Before, whenever I would come up with an idea, I would have to scramble to try to find something. It’s really a wonderful tool. And the really great thing about it is if you lose it, no problems. You just buy another one, they’re cheap, and you’ve got everything backed up on your computer.

I have my quibbles, you know. When is the Flash coming out? What up with that? Come on.

You’re on both sides of the whole iTunes platform, though, because you make a living selling your music, and you were doing that for quite awhile before the iTunes Store came out. Did you have to be convinced to put your music into the store when it was first coming out?

No, not at all. I was waiting a long time for this to happen, and I’m looking forward to the future generations of the development of music delivery, for higher quality, quicker delivery, and more secure financial transactions for intellectual property. And I know it’ll happen. I’m sure it’ll happen, because there’s too many people who make a living creating music, and if they don’t get paid for what they do, they can’t do it. And it’s not as bad as a lot of people think, you know? People still buy music online.

But I was very excited when it became available, because I saw it before it even came out as an evolution into the future.

We’re kind of at a crossroads here because we’ve got the iTunes Store and it’s got video and everything, and yet here you’re releasing a DVD, which you’re still putting out as a physical medium. They’re still very popular.

Yeah they’re still very popular, there’s still a big market and there always will be some kind of a market for physical product because it satisfies a certain tactile kind of need that a lot of people have. I love physical product. But I just don’t get it these days unless it’s something special. There’s a few artists that when they release something I go out and I get the physical product. If Tom Waits releases anything, I always have the physical product because I want this book in my hand. I don’t care about that idea for a lot of other artists, but there’s a handful.

How do go about saying “I’m going to make a DVD of this show”? How do you decide it’s going to be this show and this town and this date?

Well the first thing that I do is I come up with an idea that I can pretty much put into a sentence or a few sentences. And when I decided to do this DVD, I had just finished a double live orchestra project that took two years of intensive work, and I wanted to get out on tour but I didn’t have any new product. So the idea was to put a band together that was unique instrumentation, so that I could go out and do a relatively short tour and just kind of satiate the playing thing, and bring a little bit of a different dimension to some of the tracks. So I hired two violinists, and it turned out phenomenally well. And I always like to capture a tour or a band at their peak. So the idea is to do a tour with a unique band and get a DVD and a CD out of it that’s… I put a string of adjectives together: uplifting, musically interesting, unique to my catalog, and it just happens. You have to have the picture first, and then everything else falls into place.

Then I have to put the repertoire together, and I just went through the catalog and picked songs that I knew would work with this instrumentation, and then we scheduled a month, thirty days, of fifteen hour a day practices, six days a week. And then we rehearsed, then I booked a month in Europe, a month in America, and we went to South America. And usually, you can rehearse til you’re blue in the face, but going out on tour and actually being in an environment where people are there and the lights are out is a while different world. So it takes probably about a week or two weeks of being on tour for the band to blow out the bugs, you know, and really start getting ripe. Usually the six week mark is when they’re at their peak performance. And so that was during the American leg, and so I thought where is a really great place to film it and record it? And the State Theatre in Minneapolis was the pick because I love Minneapolis, the State Theatre is gorgeous, it’s historical. It’s got a big wooden stage, which is really nice.

Everybody likes to talk about you taking lessons from Satriani back in the day, and the baton being passed and such. When you come across someone like Orianthi, do you feel like there’s almost an obligation, because of the position you’re in, to help foster the next one?

You can’t really help but to feel somewhat nurturing to a young artist that has potential, and finds you one of their inspirations. It’s very nice to be able to give them some advice or to help them out in some way if you can. You never know what they’re going to turn into. I mean, I’ve worked with very young artists that had a lot of potential but just didn’t know how to cultivate it. Being a great musician isn’t about how well you play. That’s about being a good player. Being a great musician is how well your intellect can turn your imagination into reality in the world.

When I saw Orianthi she was fifteen, and she was opening for me in Adelaide, Australia, and she showed tremendous potential. She played really well. It was obvious. You can’t play an instrument like that unless you love the instrument, and that’s always really nice to see. So through the years I just stayed in touch with her. She had a lot of potential to be a pop goddess, pop rock goddess, if she wanted to, and that’s what she’s chosen. And I think she wears that badge very proudly. And actually for my taste she brings a new dimension to that whole kind of thing. But she also had a lot of great guitar finesse and ability. And how that’s going to be displayed in the future is going to be up to her. But she can play. She can really play.

Now that we’ve got these new tools like Twitter and Facebook, do you find that that’s adding to your ability to relate to your fans?

Absolutely. It’s like you’re stalking them, because if they’re interested they can know what you want them to know, and you can let them into a particular part of your life. And you can do anything, you can fabricate a whole different kind of a character. If I want, I could lie to my fans and create fantastic things. I’m not comfortable doing that. But frankly, when I look at all my posts that I’ve tweeted, they’re very interesting. I don’t tweet things like “Well I’m gonna go to the store now and get some food.” I know there’s a sector of people that would be interested in hearing all that, but I just don’t want to take the time to do it. It’s kind of narcissistic too in a way, you know? So I try to give them things that I believe they would find interesting, something that can relate to their life or just peering into a little portion of my life. I’m relatively private though. There’s things I just don’t discuss.

One thing I saw you mention on Twitter was something about renting a warehouse and going underground for four months. Is that a project you can talk about?

Yeah, it’s my next project. And I basically approached it like I approach all my projects, I set up some parameters, and I’ve just started to put the parameters together. One of them was you have to do something unique that you’ve never done before, and perhaps something that no one has ever done. I don’t know what that is, but I started to get excited about the idea of it. And what happens is it just unfolds. And it did. And it requires a warehouse. But unfortunately I really don’t want to discuss the particulars of it yet. But my goal is to make it very musical, very uplifting, melodic, accessible, entertaining, and my goal is to evolve my potential into areas that I’m not even aware that I’m capable of. And that’s very important for an innovator. You have to be conscious of going to places that you’re ignorant of.

Can you say whether or not it’s guitar oriented?

Yeah, absolutely. One of the things that’s in my prerequisite is guitar up front on a silver platter through the entire thing. So I’m not going to be doing a lot of overdubs. Very intimate guitar.

You’re coming up on fifty. Is that causing you to rethink or reevaluate, professionally or personally, or is it just another number to you?

Well, both, you know? I’m very satisfied and content with all I’ve achieved. I never thought I’d ever achieve so much. And I’m very happy where I am. I don’t have any burning desires or regrets for things that I should have accomplished and I didn’t. Sure, I wish I had ten more records, it would be nice, but I don’t really care. I’m one of those people who feel that everything is evolving as it should. Having said that, one of the things that I’ve realized is that it’s great to have tons and tons of ideas, but in reality, a small percentage of them are going to be made real because it’s impossible with the amount of time that’s left. So what it’s caused me to do is prioritize. I like the idea of being fifty. I don’t mind growing old. I don’t want to be forty-nine again, or thirty-five again, or twenty-one or none of that shit. But I do understand that I’ve come face to face with the reality that you have this many ideas, and when I was twenty-five that was great. But really, from the time I was twenty-five to now, maybe I’ve only accomplished three percent of these ideas. So it’s a very rejuvenating process to take that list of ideas and try to burn it, and just pick the handful of the most important ones, cut out all the fat. So that’s what I’ve been in the process of doing. And turning fifty next year has helped me to come to grips with letting go of nonsensical projects.

Are you going to keep the long hair?

I grow it and then I cut it, then I grow it, then I cut it.

I always do that, and every time I grow it out I say it’s the last time.

I do too. Then I cut it and I go “Man, you look like such a dork. Grow your hair.”

App review: Documents To Go

July 10, 2009 by Beatweek · 2 Comments 

The much anticipated Docs to Go for iPhone has finally arrived for those looking for a way to edit MS Office documents on the fly. For a first release, this app does the job well, but it is far from perfect like many other first-release apps.

There are two versions of the app available – one is the basic document editing, and the other is document editing as well as Microsoft Exchange support (MobileMe possibly coming in the future). I had bought the one with Exchange support at first because I was not aware of the different versions. But if MobileMe is added then I will find the Email capable version to be much more useful.

Along with the iPhone app, you will need to download the free companion desktop app, which is what you need to use in order to sync documents from computer to iPhone and vice versa. This will create a folder on the computer that will contain the synced documents. Connecting the iPhone to computer is done by wifi network, and is quite easy to set up.

When you want to make a new document, just simply tap the button in the top right corner. Depending on the version that you purchase, you will see an option to create a new Word document or Email with attachment. Fast and simple, straight to the point.



When you are looking at a blank document, you will see a toolbar with 12 options to choose from. These options include saving/save as, email [if on the MS Exchange version], various font and paragraph formatting, find and replace, zoom, go to, undo/redo, word count, and file properties.

In the iPhone app, there is currently only support for Word, with Excel to be in a future update. This may put off some of you, but if you can wait for Excel and spreadsheet goodness, it may be worth the wait.

When typing, there was a slight bit of lag on the first version with a 3G – with a 3GS, there is no lag whatsoever. The recent update may have fixed this issue as well.

The app provides a feature-rich set of options to use in a Word document, but still lacks the option of various fonts – you’re stuck with Times New Roman for now. You can change text and background color, format bold/italic/underline, choose various paragraph formatting, bulleted or numbered lists, and increase/decrease paragraph.

The Find feature works like expected, and the Replace option is simple and nothing new. Making replacements or finding words is easy and painless, and you also have options of case sensitive and whole words only, which will help in some situations.

The Go To tool let’s you jump to various points in the document, which is useful if you know what point you need or want to go back to. There’s also undo/redo option, which is you’re only option since the 3.0 Shake-to-undo feature doesn’t seem to work in the app.

Word Count tells you how many words, characters, characters with spaces, and paragraphs that are in the current document. This is a great tool if you need a specific amount of words for a paper or article. The last option on the menu bar will tell you general properties of the document, such as where the file is located, size, and date of last modification. All of these features are what you would expect from Word, and a mobile word processor.

In the 1.0 version, the app did not use Apple’s native Copy and Paste system and instead used a funky, homebrewed method of c&p. However, that homebrewed copy paste is now gone in 1.1 and is replaced with the native iPhone copy and paste and works across all applications.

Another nice feature that appears in 1.1 is Fullscreen mode, where you can make the toolbar and keyboard go away to let you view the document in the screen’s entirety. There are tiny icons left on screen to bring the keyboard and toolbars back, so it’s easy to switch between editing and viewing.

Overall, Documents To Go is a good app for mobile word processing between the iPhone and desktop. It’s still missing some functionality (Excel and other email support), but if you can live with just syncing between the desktop and emailing from that and just need Word editing, this app may be worth a try.
