Any week that Apple hosts an event with a presentation by Steve Jobs related to the iPhone, the Apple announcements dominate the news of the week. But there were a few other news items that I ran across this week that might be of interest to you.
- Liane Cassovey of PC World reviews the Netflix app for the iPhone and likes it. I’ve kicked the tires on the app a little bit too, and I really like what I see so far.
- Patrick DiDomenico of iPad4Legal writes about the presence of iPads at the recent ILTA conference. I’ve been to several meetings attended by a lot of attorneys over the last few weeks, and I am amazed at how many more iPhones and iPads I am seeing recently. Apple just may have some hits on its hands.
- Scott Canon of the Kansas City Star says that the smartphone that you use says a lot about who you are.
- Jeffery Battersby of Macworld reviews Office2, one of the three big word processors for the iPhone (along with Quickoffice and Documents to Go).
- Many years ago, I really enjoyed playing Riven on my computer. That sequel to Myst had beautiful graphics and created a truly immersive world. If you also have fond memories of the game, you should check out this report from Casey Tschida of AppAdvice with screen shots of the upcoming version of the game for the iPhone.
- When I recently reviewed iVacuate, I noted that one missing feature from the app was good tools for tracking a hurricane. Jeff Merron of Macworld recently reviewed several apps for the iPhone and iPad that can be used to track hurricanes.
- Neil Hughes of AppleInsider has additional details on the HDR features coming next week in iOS 4.1 and some comparison pictures to show you how it works.
- And finally, The Daily Nail shows off the perfect painted nail design for the ladies who love their iPhones.
Thanks for the mention on iPads at ILTA!
