No more faxes for me

image

I've been looking for this app, especially after I unloaded my land line telephone. No more faxes for me! I simply scan my documents using Scanner Pro and my iPhone, adjust if needed, and then e-mail, store on my iDisk or print.

I can scan one or more pages of any size and then combine them into a multi-page PDF document to share. Allows for vertical or landscape layout. Editing features include correcting for color, brightness and/or contrast. I can reorder the pages within the document and even set a password for security.

Personal Formulator

By Mary Ann Drawl

FormulatorPersonal Formulator is a simple financial calculator that allows you to quickly figure out discounts, tips, car loan payments, and more. We were visiting a friend and went to a car dealership to look at a Smartcar he wanted to buy. He needed help figuring out the total cost for two loans that had different interest rates. I taught music, not math, but had his answer quickly using Personal Formulator.

Everything you will ever want to know about the remote desktop controllers on the iPhone - Part II

Continued from HERE.

 


Automatic discovery of remote desktops on the same LAN?: the Jaadu apps and Mocha VNC support automatic discovery of local desktop computers. Note that in order for this to work, you must run Jaadu VNC Connect or Jaadu RDP Connect on the same desktop. They will keep broadcasting a message to the local network that there is a VNC / RDP server listening on these devices. Note that these broadcast messages are sent out even when the VNC server is shut down or stopped - or the RDP service disabled; that is, these three remote controller clients will find these desktops even then.

Everything you will ever want to know about the remote desktop controllers on the iPhone - Part I


I've long been promising a generic roundup on accessing the desktop on other computers (let them be running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or even some mobile operating systems like Windows Mobile) from iPhones and iPod touches (from now on: iPhones), mostly because there aren't really usable and/or up-to-date all-in-one articles on the subject, let alone comparative ones.

Getting this roundup ready took me a lot of time (over six weeks): much more than I've originally expected. The reason for this was that I've made some really serious bandwidth usage and networking model tests (all involving the making of videos of this process to provide you with as documented a process as possible) so that I can provide you as much objective, comparative information as possible.

Todo

By Doug Goldring

TodoI tested a number of task managers when I bought my iPod Touch, but kept returning to Todo. In addition to its fantastic user interface, Todo has the ability to sync with online task managers, such as Toodledo (toodledo.com), Remember the Milk (rememberthemilk.com), or iCal on the Mac using Appigo’s own sync program. You can sort, organize, tag, and categorize all of your tasks to display them in a way that is most useful to you.

Air Sharing

By Doug Goldring

Air SharingIf a device is to be taken seriously as a business tool, it has to be able to let you review your important business documents on the go. Air Sharing lets you do this by turning your iPhone into a network drive on any wireless network. Once connected, you can transfer virtually any files to your iPhone and view them offline. The “Pro” version of this app is also available; it gives you additional PDF support and allows you to e-mail items from any computer to your 
iPhone where you can view them with Air Sharing.

It's one thing to plan and schedule my day, but my day doesn't always go as planned. By analyzing how I used my time in the past, however, I can vastly improve how I use it in the future.
