Here’s the list of apps that I actually use every day

A colleague has recently picked up an iPhone. He’s using it in conjunction with the top of the line BlackBerry Bold 9900.

LogMeIn Ignition for half price, highly recommended

LogMeIn is one of those services that I use more or less every day. It’s a superb remote access solution that enables you to connect to any one of your computers from any web browser. I use it to re-export videos and upload them, to find a file I forgot to put on DropBox, to [...]
