Been looking for a way to sync todo’s with iCal? Well now you can with the recent beta from Appigo. Appigo Sync is their new tool to sync your Todo tasks with iCal via Wi-Fi on your local wireless network. The tool syncs calendars, but not your contexts, tags, etc. So you can’t add them in iCal, but they are still viewable on the iPhone app.
This is really exciting news for anyone looking for this type of syncing. Personally, I have moved beyond Apple’s todo’s and use Toodledo for my task purposes and Appigo’s Todo just happens to do over-the-air syncing for free with that site; even on EDGE. However, if you still use iCal’s todo feature, this just might be your killer app!
If you are a Windows user, Appigo says they are working on a Windows/Outlook syncing tool as well.

Our fearless leader/editor was able to meet some great vendors at Macworld 2009 this year and got a sampling of their products. I am rounding them up in a series of posts, so, let’s take a look at what we have this time!
In this quick review we will be looking at two products: iKear’s Microfiber cloth and cleaning wipes.
Anti-Static/Anti-Microbial Microfiber Cloth
This is an awesome cloth for wiping down your iPhone or any other type of device that gets dirty/oily and you want to clean it. The cloth is not moist, but rather easily wipes away any basic grime (I admittedly even use it on my glasses, works like a charm). You can also you use it on trackpads and screens too, and other Apple Products in your life. Don’t wash it in the washer though, to clean, hand-wash with a little soap and air-dry. I love this cloth, very handy!
This single-serving wipes do the trick for your iPhone or MacBook should they ever get “stuff” on them beyond the occasional oil, etc. Simply tear off the top and wipe away. Easy. I keep a few in my bag just in case!
Pros:
- Endorsed by Apple and other manufactures!
- Doesn’t have ammonia, etc. to ruin your screens (HDTV, iMac, iPhone, Etc)
- Pocketable
Cons:
- Pricey, but can you really place a price on your screen?

What a great start to 2009! Net Applications (a leader in tracking website applications) has just released their monthly survey for January 2009. The news? The iPhone accounts for 0.48% of all Internet traffic! This is amazing considering that the Mac has 9.93%. Compared to one month ago, the iPhone’’s share of Internet traffic has grown by 9.09%.
This is quite an achievement for the iPhone since it is only available on one carrier in the use and limited to one model. What is particularly interesting about this is that Windows Mobile, Google’s G1, Symbian and BlackBerry are rolled together into the “other” category that accounts for 0.45% of Internet traffic.
