Maybe it would be nice to have some kind of confirming message from Amego, telling us that the iPhone connection is live and working? So far, all I've seen is a bluetooth error message, and no way to know that Amego is "live." (Version 1.0.8) | |

Apple allows one to pair your iPhone to your Mac ... but not connect. Correct? How could this work? (Version 1.0.7) | |

PETER SICHEL >Apple allows one to pair your iPhone to your Mac ... but not connect. Correct? Not exactly, it depends on what you are trying to do. Phone Amego opens an RFCOMM connection using the Handsfree Profile (HFP) just like a Bluetooth headset. From there it can detect when the phone rings, request call status, or instruct the phone to dial. In practice it works quite well. One limitation is you can't use a Bluetooth headset and Phone Amego at the same time. While iPhone does not offer the same rich interface as other Bluetooth phones, it does just enough to provide onscreen callerID and click to dial from your Address Book. (Version 1.0.7) | |

FRANKNS I'm not quite sure I like this ... It feels like a guilty pleasure. It's a little too much like the Windows Task Bar to feel really "Mac-like," but it does do the job well. Very nice to be able to navigate to individual windows crisply, seeing what's in the window before I land there. I've always use 'Witch" for this kind of navigation in the past. If it had a hot key to move between windows ... more people would use Fantasktik. (Version 1.4) | |

FRANKNS Yes ... I consistently notice 90% CPU utilization by iav on my MBP (2.4 w/ 4GB). A check of the iav log doesn't appear to show iav running at the same time -- an hour off. A shame ... an otherwise okay solution (Version 1.3.5) | |

FRANKNS Let me clarify: I cannot send a PDF to my MS Office colleague and ask him/her to edit it. (I can do this with an RTF and it's what I do every day with Nisus). Now, there may be an export function that I missed, but it doesn't appear in the 'Save/as' dialogue. (Version 1.0.4) | |

FRANKNS Some very interesting choices in the user interface, e.g. labels with words rather than icons, because when you write, you're thinking in words. Of course, that's not for everyone ... But the deal breaker here is that you can't save as an RTF and share a document with your MS Office friends ... or anyone else. Ouch. (Version 1.0.4) | |

KRIONI I don't know if you missed it either, since you're commenting on 1.0.4 and I have 1.0.5, but there is an Export option in the File menu on 1.0.5, and RTF is one of the choices. So, if it wasn't there before, it is now. (Version 1.0.5) | |

TIM27 Also, if the PDF is enabled for editing anyone can edit it using Adobe Reader. I do it all the time with clients. (Version 1.0.5) | |

FRANKNS Worked fine on my Nuvi 350. A few moments of concern when the start up screen had multiple, tiled images, but they resolved into the usual start-up screen. Reboot was fine, though it took quite a while to re-acquire satellites. (Version 2.0.6) | |

FRANKNS Downloaded the latest version and found what appears to be a problem: With pop-ups unblocked, Safari now loads the pop-up in a tab AND I lose the status bar, the tab bar and the bookmark bar. Delete Glims and all is well. Also running 1Password and Adblock. (Version 1.0b15) | |

SYR WULLAM Same annoying problem here (running 10.5.6 on my MBP early 2008); this definitely needs to be fixed in the next release. It would also be great to have a nifty feature that Saft has been offering for ages: the sorting of items within nested bookmark folders. Therefore: Glims gets 4.5 stars for 1.0b15. Thanks bunches to the developers! (Version 1.0b15) | |

Today | Feb 27 2009 |
FRANKNS I may be missing something obvious, but date entry feels clumsy to me. Sure, natural language input is great, but I found myself correcting almost each entry I made in the first day or two of use, and the process was actually SLOWER than iCal's standard entry method. For example: Enter "Today 10 p" and you get a mixed response: Today's date, 10:00 am. Cool, except it's *am.* On Friday, enter "Saturday 2 p" and you get the second day of the month (e.g. Monday, Feb 2 for me now) and 12:00 pm. Ugh (Version 1.6.1) | |

Evernote for iPhone | Oct 27 2008 |
FRANKNS At the desktop, this is a wonderful, feature-rich application. I really enjoy it On my iPhone, because it relies on a network connection to retrieve my notes, it really doesn't help me. During the day, I move from building to building, from car to train, from good reception to poor ... and a note-taking application has to keep up. Jott allows me to take some simple notes/reminders with me. It's not a full-fledged application in the sense that Evernote is, but it stays with me, wherever I go. Another application, Things stays with me to and lets me sync via WiFi when I come back to the desktop. At the end of the day ... as much as I would like to use Evernote, I can't. | |

After three months of Mail, I tend to agree. Its IMAP is extremely slow and will -- on occasion -- lose messages. I cannot afford that. I've set up Gyaz again, using a separate window for searches, and searching "raw source" so that I can go through all my HTML mail. Probably going back to Gyaz. (Version 1.5.8) | |

NICKSLOAN Actually, the superior searching in GyazMail was one of several reasons that I switched from Mail (on Tiger). It seemed to me a lot more predictable and comprehensive than in Mail --at least when searching emails exclusively. I miss the global integration of Mail, but whenever I consider switching back the solidity and customisability of Gyaz stop me in my tracks. (Version 1.5.8) | |
