One other thing to add to our synchronize series is notes.

By notes, I actually mean more or less organized data. Ideas, quotes, shopping lists and stuff like that.

I always carry some index cards along with a small notebook to be able to jot ideas from anywhere. Another thing I carry all the time is my iPhone so why not using it to takes notes?

Because it’s easier to organize notes on a computer, and because it saves trees, I’ve been looking around for something that is :

  • fast enough to use instead of the old pen and paper

The next post of our “synchronize” series is going to be about Files and Documents. Some are important enough that you always need to have access to them. How can you do this ?

There are many ways to have files synced around multiple place, let’s go through them.

The most obvious is certainly having an USB key containing your most important file and that you carry with you. But there are some drawbacks to an USB key : you can forget it, you can loose it (and imagine the troubles you can be in if you haven’t encrypted files on your key), you can have it in the pocket of the wrong coat or the wrong jeans etc.

This first post of the “Synchronize” series is about Calendar and Contacts. To me  having those synchronized is the first step towards a hassle-free life. No more contact data loss, no more forgotten appointments. Wherever you are, you need to be able to trust your system.

The goal is to have a multi-directional sync of your calendar events and of your contacts between your devices and your computers.

Finally, after part 1 and part 2, here is the last blog post of the series.

Think


SimpleMind Xpress

Price : free

There are many mind mapping apps on the App Store, and while SimpleMind Xpress is not the best overall, it’s certainly the best free ones.

Functionality are pretty basics :  you can choose between some themes that you can apply to your mind maps, and you can save mind map directly to the iPhone Camera Roll.

By the way, I’ve found really tough to draw complex mind map on the iPhone. The screen is too small and I miss a view of the whole mind map.

After the first blog post of the series, let’s continue with a new set of 5 iPhone productivity apps. In this blog post, I will introduce you  to great apps for reading and for writing. Being able to read some articles from anywhere is great, and being able to write and produce content from anywhere is even better.

Read


Instapaper Pro

Price : 3,99 €

This iPhone app, combined with the bookmarklet that allows you to mark any web page as “read it later” is a very powerful app.

iPhone is a handy device, boosted by an enormous amount of applications (60 000 and counting). But sometimes finding the right one can be tricky due to the way the AppStore displays them.

I’m going to present you fifteen of them. I call them productivity app, even if for some of them it’s the wide meaning of productivity.

For a clearer understanding, I’ll break the apps into categories.

Organize


Calendar

Price : free

Calendar is one of the app included directly with iPhone OS. It’s a great and versatile calendaring app. It syncs with almost all mainly used calendaring apps and services : iCal, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Active Sync and Apple Mobile Me.
