- Control an iPod with your watch
Filed under: Accessories, iPod Family
Here's something for iPod-wielding athletes. The new Timex Ironman (approximate availability is later this month) will be able to control your iPod. With a 2.4 GHz range dongle connected to the iPod, the watch will let you play, pause, skip and jump to the next track, even with the iPod's hold button engaged.
The features you expect from an Ironman watch, like timers and so on, are still available. This looks like a cool alternative for athletes who want wireless interaction with their iPods other than the Nike+ kit. Check out the pictures our very own Engadget snapped whilst unboxing one.

Filed under: iPhone, iPhone 101
Since it's so much fun to view photos on an iPhone, you'll want to sync your iPhoto library. However, even an 8GB phone can fill up quickly. Here's a tip for displaying your most recent photos and eliminating duplicates.
In iPhoto, create a smart album that finds your most recent photos:
- From the File menu, select "New Smart Album..."
- Set the 1st condition to "Date," and the 2nd to "Within the last...." I've selected 14 days.
You may have sent photos taken with your iPhone to iPhoto. For some reason, iPhoto won't delete those photos after synchronization. Since our smart album found them, it's safe to nix their space-hogging counterparts and keep "Camera Roll" empty.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Enterprise, How-tos, Education
If you're the person responsible for Mac support in a big, cross-platform shop, it can sometimes feel like you're alone in the Windows wilderness. Established communities like AFP548.com (port 548 is reserved for the AppleShare Filing Protocol, hence the name) and MacEnterprise.org are critical resources for anyone who rides herd on a pride of Macs in a business or educational environment.
Hidden away among the postings and troubleshooting info are some true gems, including Apple engineer John DeTroye's "Tips and Tricks for Mac Management" PDF handbook. If you're trying to do anything with Workgroup Manager, you need this concise 116-page document, and you need it now.
JohnD's guide for workgroup and preference management -- particularly for implementing Portable Home Folders, where user data is cached and synchronized to a fileserver -- is so vital, it's linked from Apple's knowledge base article on Mac Manager. Along with Mike Bombich's deployment tips page and AFP548's AD/OD integration guide, it needs to be in the virtual library of every Mac manager. You can download the current version of the Tips and Tricks PDF here.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/08/03/tuaw-talkcast-available-for-download/#comments - Paul Thurrott amazes again, turns iPhone's Yahoo! synching feature into a complaint
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, OS, Software, Features, Internet Tools, iPhone
Uh oh, famed purveyor of the SuperSite for Windows and spinster extraordinaire Paul Thurrott is at it again with a third installment of his iPhone review that focuses on the iPhone's performance as an actual phone. Never faltering in his ability to spin a genuinely innovative feature into a mark against a product, Thurrott found a way to blast the iPhone's ability to sync contacts with Yahoo!'s address book for being the only web-based service that made the cut:
First and most obviously, Yahoo! is the only Web-based email/contacts store supported: If you use Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, or any other Web-based email service, you cannot sync between contacts stored there and the iPhone. This is a glaring functional lapse that the early Mac-using iPhone reviewers neatly skipped over
Boy, iPhone users sure are screwed, especially since, outside the Helio Ocean (whose site isn't clear on whether it actually syncs with Yahoo!), I can't think of another mobile phone OS - including Windows Mobile and BlackBerry - that syncs with a web-based email or contact service out of the box (note: sync - not simply 'allow access with some custom UI'). At least, not a significant or even publicized phone from any of the big players like Nokia, Motorola or Samsung. The simple fact is that most mobile phone OS developers haven't made that leap yet, primarily because the web-based services like Gmail and AOL haven't opened themselves up through an API (Application Programming Interface) like Yahoo! has for the iPhone. This is probably because, in the past, it hasn't been worth the effort. Most users who want to sync their contacts with a mobile phone are either power or business users, and they're already using desktop software like Outlook, Entourage or Apple's Address Book that is primed and ready for synching. Apple likely took a chance and opened this partnership to sync with Yahoo! because the iPhone is arguably the first consumer-friendly phone to bring the concept of synching to the general user. For those still wondering why Apple chose Yahoo!, it's likely because they are the leading worldwide webmail provider by a landslide; as of April 2007, Yahoo! Mail's market share doubles Hotmail's and, believe it or not, Gmail trails in an incredibly distant 3rd with 1/13th the traffic of Yahoo!.Continue reading Paul Thurrott amazes again, turns iPhone's Yahoo! synching feature into a complaint
