It was a relatively quiet week in iPhone and iPad news. We learned more details on Apple’s plans for allowing subscriptions within apps, people continue to write articles geared at the new Verizon iPhone users, and there were a few good articles this week of particular interest to attorneys using iPhones:
- Attorney Dan Friedlander writes for TechnoLawyer about how lawyers can develop Enterprise Apps for the iPhone. That article appeared in the free TechnoLawyer BigLaw newsletter a month ago, but it is now available on the TechnoLawyer website for those who don’t subscribe.
- Christina Koch, a paralegal at Inserra & Kelley, writes for Atkinson-Baker’s website about the use of the iPad by lawyers and paralegals.
- Similarly, John Paczkowski of All Things D writes about how more and more businesses are embracing the iPad.
- We got a sneak peek at iPhone and iPad subscriptions with the recent debut of The Daily, but this week Apple officially announced its policies for subscriptions. David Chartier of Macworld posts an analysis. I know that there are pros and cons for publishers, but I hope that there is widespread support becasue I love the idea of subscribing to periodicals on my iPad.
- Jenna Wortham of the New York Times explains how the Shazam iPhone app can identify songs so well.
- Trial and legal tech consultant Ted Brooks posted an extensive review of Exhibit A, an iPad app that can be used for trial presentation.
- Ted Brooks also reviewed the Litigator iPad app in an article that appears in Law Technology News.
- Om Malik of GigaOm gave up on the iPhone a while ago because of his problems with getting good AT&T coverage in New York in San Francisco, but he now has a Verizon iPhone and says that he is “in love again.”
- Sam Grobart of the New York Times suggets apps for new Verizon iPhone users. (I posted my list on Monday.)
- Feel like giving up on your law practice and getting a job at Apple? Or just interested in how Apple employees end up there? James Holland writes for ElectricPig about how to get a job at Apple. Based on what I have heard, this article is actually pretty accurate.
- To help the new Verizon iPhone users, the New York Times has a short video with tips for new iPhone users on topics such as double-clicking the Home button, creating folders for apps, etc.
- Following up on the recent release of the Google Translate app, Bob Tedeschi of the New York Times writes about other translation apps.
- And finally, iPhone J.D. wasn’t the only website to recently top a million page views. The Apple parody site Scoopertino also did so this week, and wrote this funny post. If you like to laugh, I encourage you to read that site regularly for funny articles like this recent one on the App Store Express, the fastest way to give Apple your money. And for more info on that site, I wrote about the guys behind Scoopertino in this post.
