  7. @jrpowers Thanks for the feedback. I'm not bagging on the app - I think it's awesome. Just needs some fine tuning. Will try those methods! 12:00 PM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac in reply to jrpowers

  11. I have to qualify my earlier enthusiasm for Occipital's 360 Panorama. The results are, uh, rough. Fun to use, though. Has potential. 11:49 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac
  12. I really want to love OmniFocus, but I have a hard time swallowing the $140 price tag for Mac + iPhone + iPad apps. :-( 11:40 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac
  13. @brainwagon Hmm. I bet the gyros in the iPhone 4 do make a difference. I'll have to try it on my wife's 3G. Bummer! 10:19 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac in reply to brainwagon
  14. @shadowbottle Yes, You Gotta See This is pretty good. Doesn't try to stitch smooth panos, but has nice templates. More artistic, IMO. 9:45 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac in reply to shadowbottle
  15. Watching the panorama fill in real time with 360 Panorama is SO COOL. The end result isn't perfect, though. Link: http://bit.ly/bU6Uuc 9:37 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac
  16. OK, Occipital's 360 Panorama iPhone app is the coolest thing I've seen all week. Build live panoramas by waving the phone around. Nice! :-) 9:37 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac
  17. RT @AndruEdwards: Dailybooth has finally released an iPhone app. It's free and great with the iPhone 4 front cam! http://j.mp/aGuAeE 10:25 PM Jul 29th via Twitterrific
  18. And I can't be sure, but to my eyes, it looks like the font/typeface looks nicer in Kindle 2.2 on my iPhone 4. 6:26 PM Jul 29th via Twitter for iPhone from Cooper Mountain - Aloha North, Beaverton  
  19. Nice popover interface for lookups in Kindle 2.2 for iPhone. And you get the New Oxford Dictionary free: http://gdzl.la/8nSaZV 6:23 PM Jul 29th via Twitter for iPhone from Cooper Mountain - Aloha North, Beaverton  
  20. The Amazon Kindle app FINALLY gets background support for iOS 4. I use it every day. Lack of background was glaring. 6:14 PM Jul 29th via Twitterrific
