Hello all and welcome to another edition of Triple T. Quite a bit to cover so lets see what is going on this week.
BusyCal
So I recently went ahead and pulled the trigger on buying a license on BusyCal. What BusyCal does it allows you to share calendars across multiple computers and it will also sync with your Google Calendar. Any change you make to BusyCal syncs to Google and vice versa. Plus my iPhone also syncs to to Google for the calendar so any changes there are also made across the line. A single license is $49 and a Family Pack is $79 (5 computers). It’s what iCal should be. You can also download a free 30 day trial to get a good sense of what it can do.
New iPhone not for AT&T
Interesting article from the Wall Street Journal on Apple working on a new iPhone that is CDMA capable. This could mean Apple maybe striking a deal with Verizon and/or Sprint/Nextel and thus ending an exclusivity deal with AT&T. The article also mentions Apple is working on a updated GSM based iPhone which is what AT&T is based on.
Jobs and Schmidt have a coffee together
Ok so its not Reagan meets Gorbachev in terms of world importance but Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt of Google recently sat down for a coffee. Maybe they can talk through their competitive issues and learn to cooperate with each other on some cool stuff for people like me that think both companies make great products.
Nota on the iPad
So you want to play Procol Harum’s, “A White Shade of Pale” on your iPad? Well there is an app for that with Nota coming out with one. Also of note screenshots of iPad app store have started leaking out.
Project Gutenberg free ebooks on iPad bookstore
Yep up to 30,000 free titles to download to the iPad. This is pretty cool as there are quite a few great classic titles there.
AT&T 3G MicroCell in your house
So have spotty cell phone reception in your house? Well if you live in a AT&T 3G area you can spring up $150 to improve the service with a MicroCell device that connects to your broadband internet connection. It should roll out in mid-April.
Google defies China by routing through Hong Kong
I love how Google has thumbed its nose at China over the censorship. Instead of shutting down their service there, they have instead routed their traffic through Hong Kong. They even have established a Twitter feed to get around the digital great wall
CBS planning HTML5 videos for iPad
This is pretty cool. Anything that brings forth the death of Flash faster is a great thing.
Creative Suite 5 unveiled on 4/12
Speaking of Adobe, the company announced its latest CS upgrade will be unveiled on April 12th along with the first ever Photoshop in 64-bit form.
This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps
Whrrl 3 (Free)- I have been using Whrrl for a while now. Basically it allows you to photo blog an event with a combination of photos from your iPhone and camera and allows you to mix in text slides before and after photos too. Now they are taking on FourSquare and Brightkite in terms of checking in at locations you are at. Unlike FourSquare there are no points are mayoral bragging rights after a certain number of check-ins at a certain place.
MacJournal ($4.99)- I use MacJournal to write this blog as a matter of fact and now they have a iPhone version to compose your personal journal and thoughts. It does allow you to post to your blog from it, but it lacks key features such as attaching links, photos, and category and tagging. For that I will use WordPress when I need to blog from the iPhone which is rare.
MLB At Bat 2010 ($14.99)- Ok it’s back for the baseball fan on the go, MLB At Bat 2010. It will set you back $15 for the app but so worth it.
Yelp (Free) - So visiting a town and want to find a restaurant or just about anything else for that matter? Well Yelp is there for you and you can even help by giving reviews and submitting them to Yelp for other users to read.
Southwest Airlines (Free) - I love flying SWA when I have to go somewhere, so much so I will even drive to Nashville just to fly out on them. This is what an airline app should look like! Make air and car reservations, flight check in and flight status and flight schedules. Bravo SWA, this is why I luv you guys!
Well that is it for this weeks Triple T. See you all next week!

Tuesday Tech Talk #2
It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for another edition of Triple T. Here is what’s grabbing my attention this week.
iMissal for iPhone/iPod touch This is one cool app if your a geeky Catholic like myself. For $7 you get the daily readings and the order of the Mass right on your iPhone and no WiFi or 3G/EDGE connection required to access it. If your in the RCIA and have an iPhone or touch you might like this as it helps in understanding the order of the Mass. It also has a Liturgical calendar and over 50 prayers as well. Well worth the $7!
Updated MacJournal is out, I will see if there are any new exciting features to report in the next Triple T. If you use a Mac and are a blogger this is one of the best blogging apps you can buy. They also offer a Windows version too. I finally figured out how to embed a YouTube video on MacJournal which was the only time I actually had to go to my website’s dashboard to post. But now that I have figured it out on MJ, no more visits to WP to post a blog.
It appears Apple’s Snow Leopard’s API appears set. We should see some cool features at WWDC hopefully.
Finally a new updated Twitteriffic is out for the iPhone/iPod touch. They have added some great features like the ability to use multiple accounts, retweeting, and filtering capabilities. A welcome update for an app that saw others pass it by in capabilities.
