I'm a big fan of Agile Bits' 1Password utility and I know Jeff is a recent convert, too. This awesome password management utility has been recently updated on iOS with a host of enhancements.
However, 1Password's steep asking price of $17.99 effectively discourages impulse purchases - even more so on the Mac, where the app is normally a $49.99 value.
In addition to 1Password sale, Agile Bits is also offering a time-limited 50 percent discount on its Mac file encryption software dubbed Knox...
As many of you know, Tim Cook participated in a rare public interview last night at AllThingsD's D11 conference. Speaking with the site's Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg, the CEO talked about a number of topics, including Apple's interest in wearable computers and iOS 7.
We've already covered several aspects of the lengthy discussion with a thorough recap, including a few video clips, and a top 15 list of the most interesting points. But for those of you who just can't get enough of Cook's comments, the entire interview has just been posted...
Apple hasn't done much with iTunes Movie Trailers since it released it in late 2011. The app, much like Flickster, offers up movie previews, reviews, showtimes, and other useful information regarding feature films.
Today, however, it broke its silence and posted a significant update for Trailers. The release, which brings the app to version 1.2.3, includes several improvements like Fandango integration, better playback, and more...
Twitter just pushed an update to its iPhone and iPod touch app, bringing a revamped Tweet composer with a large preview of the photo you're attaching to your tweet versus the small and quite illegible icon as before.
And with fewer steps required to attach photos to your tweets, the new Twitter version 5.7 lets you share a photo in under six seconds, the micro-blogging service claims.
Other changes include receiving a notification when a friend has joined Twitter (useful if you'd like to follow the person immediately) and a tweaked design with removed borders around timelines (just like on Android) so your tweets now fill the screen.
The full changelog is right past the fold...
The online retail giant Amazon today launched a new sign-in service and an accompanying software development kit (SDK) for both Android and iOS app developers. The feature allows programmers to write apps letting folks login to apps, games, and web sites using their Amazon.com credentials. The Amazon sign-in taps the over 200 million active accounts hosted by "one of the most reputable companies in the United States," as the promo clip puts it...
Look out Square and Paypal, Payleven has inked a major deal with Apple to sell its mobile payment solution. The Rocket Internet-backed startup is now selling its Chip & PIN at a number of the company's retail and online stores.
Payleven says it has been talking to Apple about a global distribution deal for several months now, and the two sides only recently reached an agreement. Apparently the company is as protective of its retail stores as it is its App Store...
Realmac Software's highly anticipated photography app, Analog Camera, has finally landed on the App Store this morning.
Drawing from Analog Camera for the Mac and the company's user interface skills honed developing the popular Clear to-do software, this brand new iPhone photography app gets rid of the clutter to focus on just a few barebone features.
But even though its undisputedly polished and effective interface signals an interesting new direction for iPhone photography software, is less really more in the case of Analog Camera? Read on for the full review...
There's something about weather apps. I don't know if I'm enchanted more by the user interface innovations that mobile weather software brings to the table or by having weather forecast in the palm of my hand, but I just can't get enough of those sleek little apps that now happen to occupy three dedicated 'weather' folders on my iPhone (yes, I need them all).
Dark Sky, for example, is captivating: its simplified user interface and beautiful, unobtrusive animations provide an at-a-glance overview of your local forecast and key weather metrics, up to an hour in advance.
In a major version 3.0 update, Dark Sky is now enabled in several new markets, including the U.K. and Ireland, can tell you weather farther than an hour away and lets you submit your own hyperlocal weather observations...
I've been keeping an anxious eye on AT&T's LTE activation announcements over the past several months. I've had my iPhone 5 since last October, and I have yet to experience the 4G service in my home, which sits just outside Salem, Oregon.
That changed tonight. In an inadvertent glance at my iPhone, I noticed the LTE symbol in the upper lefthand corner of my phone. I wrote it off as a fluke at first, but it appears AT&T has just lit up the 4G service in 10 new cities, including mine...
Apple has long been criticized by environmental organizations for its lack of effort to reduce its carbon footprint. The criticism got so bad at one point, that Steve Jobs himself felt that it was necessary to address the topic via an open letter on Apple's website.
But things have changed a lot since Jobs' infamous 'A Greener Apple' post. The company has taken several steps to become more environmentally-friendly, including constructing large solar farms, and apparently hiring the former administrator of the EPA...
Earlier this year, well known iOS developer and hacker pod2g made some comments on Twitter regarding the 'openness' of iOS. He argued that there are no technical obstacles barring Apple from offering iOS devs more freedom, so it should consider opening it up.
And a lot of folks agreed with him. Not only did the hashtag 'WeWantAnOpeniOS' hit trending status on Twitter, but more than 11,000 people signed the corresponding petition. Well it appears that someone at Apple was listening, because Tim Cook says that's the plan...
