TEXINICK  Um... Because..

1) 10.5.3 only offers Google Address Book syncs if you have an iPod.

2) This offers scheduled syncs

3) Not everyone is running 10.5.3

TEXINICK  I like this. It's simple, small, and does what it claims. My only question would be: Why this, and not Adium? Essentially, they offer the same thing, with the exception of this keeping you on facebook too. So where/how does the developer see this being used in comparison to Adium?

Is it also possible to have Facebook Notifications displaying here too, or is that not possible?

TEXINICK  I could be wrong, but I think the bird is for Twitter, the heart is CoverSutra, and the three hearts is possibly the Skitch icon.

Plaxo
Jan 12 2008

TEXINICK  What you describe is true to a point. I was in fact a .mac subscriber for a couple of years, but this year I let that drop. Mainly because I didn't like being 'forced' into the @mac.com email address. I have my own email address, and for some insane reason, .mac does NOT let you specify this as the sending/reply to address. I think you could do it manually, but no one wants to set it everytime they send an email. It made me realise that if I couldn't afford to renew, or they suddenly jacked the price up, I would lose all access to my email, and would require the whole tedious process of letting everyone know again.

I never really used the idisk, and I had stopped using iWeb in favour of RapidWeaver. There wasn't really much else I used, or at least, nothing that I felt was worth paying the money for.

I tossed this all up, and decided to go with a gmail account as that could pick up every email account I had, and lets me send from any of them. There are no lock-ins to use their mail service (even Yahoo make you pay if you want to access via POP or forward the email to another address!).

So for me, Plaxo is a reasonable alternative that integrates nicely into the address book at a nice price :^)

Popcorn
Nov 17 2007

TEXINICK  I won't EVER give Roxio another cent, nor will I EVER recommend their products.

Their products are good, but once you've bought it, you're locked in with extortionate upgrade fees. Look at the likes of RapidWeaver and Coda.. nice, well priced programs, with very enticing upgrade costs.

But Roxio? Never again, there are alternatives to Toast and Popcorn, and I'll use those thanks!

AllBookmarks
Nov 5 2007

TEXINICK  I just wish someone would do something like this for Google Bookmarks.

Bookdog is great for ensuring that all my browsers are synced with Google Bookmarks, but there are no menubar tools to access them directly.

Maybe the author would consider adding them to AllBookmarks?? please? pretty please? :^)

TEXINICK  While I've given Tangerine a go, I haven't come across this program before. The reviews are a bit mixed, and the one about memory usage worries me a little. I might have to skip this one though, I haven't fired up Tangerine in months.

ForkLift

TEXINICK  I tried this program some time ago and there were a couple of features that were well worth having it for.. as it's on the promo, this is a must-have for me. I've been a long-time Transmit user, but I love the bluetooth feature. It makes downloading photos from my phone a piece of cake.

Tangerine!

TEXINICK  Tried this some time ago, but didn't really give it a thorough going over. Love the idea of being able to create a list depending on my mood.

TEXINICK  I've been testing this on my PSP, and love the idea of being able to add new tracks from anywhere (near a wifi a/p that is). I'd love to see an option to control music playing on the host computer though.

DOT-TUNES
Jul 30 2007

TEXINICK  Hi, I've just been comparing a few products that do similar things. I specifically want access to my iTunes library from my PSP. I love the idea of DT giving me options to play the music on the PSP or offering remote control, this is the definite advantage over the remote-only CoverBuddy. But the problem with both of them is they are PPC only. Why, oh why are people still releasing PPC only programs?

Is there a Universal Binary version of DT coming? I'd buy it now if there was.

Any chance of an update?

PSPWare
Jul 28 2007

TEXINICK  Thanks for the update.

However, I purchased this software what feels like a couple of years ago, and I feel quite abandoned by Nullriver.

You say to check out your website for updates, yet there has been NO comments on your site about PSPWare since March 2006.

In your forums (pointed to on your own PSPWare), you seem to be completing ignoring any posts made there.

Furthermore, you have completely ignored the requests for H.264 encoding from many of your customers.

So please excuse YOUR CUSTOMERS for assuming that PSPWare is no longer being developed, or that you don't care about your paying customers, because that is EXACTLY WHAT WE DO THINK!!

I also find it quote offensive that you can come and post this message here, yet you can't put this sort of thing in your forums or on your website.. where you tell us to go for all the updated news.

I, for one, regret ever giving you any of my money, and would recommend that people look at the history of PSPWare, and check out their forums and history, before parting with any money.

gMailContacts
May 30 2007

TEXINICK  There isn't any contact details on the website, so I'm not sure where to send any suggestions for this program... so as the developer has responded here, I hope he'll read these too:

Would it be possible to retain the address book groups, and create these in gmail contacts too? Also, do the API's include the ability to upload the address book photo for the contacts?

Thanks

STEFAN FUERST  Hi - the contact info is added to the homepage (thx).

Neither the photo nor the group information is supported in the import features of Gmail.

*****

TEXINICK  Program seems to do as it states with minimum fuss. Fill in your Google account details, select All addresses or the Group, and click the button

With regards to why not use the AddressBook to CSV Exporter.. because this doesn't require any imports be run at the google end. This program takes the data from Address Book to Google without needing to do anything else.

I'm ready to buy too, but as has previously been mentioned, will not do so until the store is a secure page. Either that, or allow us to pay via Paypal.

EyeTV

TEXINICK  Such a shame that IceTV is so expensive! I'm not sure I can justify $99 p/a for the little TV watching I do... the DVB broadcast contains enough info for me. It would be interesting to know how many people do take up the subscription.

TEXINICK  Check your build (EyeTV / About EyeTV). If it is NOT 2403, then head over to Elgato and download 2.3.2 again. The new build should resolve the Digital Output issues.

TEXINICK  I've been discussing issues about the latest release with Elgato and there has been a new release of eyetv 2.3.2 (build 2403).

This release should resolves issues with receiving ABC2 in Australia, as well as fixing the Digital Output problems. I'm just downloading it now to check, however I can't check the Digital Output until tonight... maybe someone else could check it and confirm if it's all ok now?
