google reader for safari
- foxmachia {山石}
byline by far.
- robin k
byline, a google reader client.
- Brett Kelly
from twhirl
NetNewsWire 'cause it syncs well with the Mac desktop version (via the web version). Guess I'll give Google Reader and byline a bit of thought, though.
- Grey Drane
google reader
- Baard @ Pixum
Is Byline or Google Reader an App in the appstore or u just use Safari browser?
- Amani
Google Reader
- ronin
byline is a native app that syncs with google reader- I've tried most of them including netnewswire- and they all fall short. Byline is far and away my most used app.
- robin k
@robin - could you quickly compare netnewswire to byline? What does Byline do that NNW doesn't? Thx!
- Grey Drane
you can't view starred (or clipped) items on the mobile version and it's a lot buggier. On NNW- I've had issues with syncing.
- robin k
OK. Yeah, I haven't really been bothered about the lack of clipped items on the iPhone (usually I clip the stuff I want to read more carefully -- and ofter research some more -- on the computer), and I think they've actually fixed (most of?) the syncing problems, but I haven't used Google Reader in a long time, so maybe it's time to reevaluate it, too. Thx!
- Grey Drane
Alright. I'm convinced. Byline is pretty sweet! :)
- Grey Drane
One thing I might miss about NNW is being able to read just a specific feed, rather than having to scroll through the whole folder of feeds. But I'm still deciding.... (Or am I missing something in Byline?)
- Grey Drane
You're right- it could be an issue depending on how you setup your folders... Mine are pretty specific to the category so it's rare that it ever comes up for me. The beauty is in that you have the fallback of the google reader safari app- so if you ever feel like just viewing a specific feed, you can revert to that.
- robin k
Yeah, that's why I say I'm still thinking about it. I may find a better way to organize my feeds and may even get rid of some feeds that don't give me enough good stuff to read.
- Grey Drane
Byline is the best RSS reader for the iPhone that I've found. Works perfectly with Google Reader.
- Chris Rodgers
I've bought byline. it's so cool! really worth to buy!
- foxmachia {山石}
Byline. Main difference from Reader is that it downloads and feeds for reading offline. Spent a lot of time on my last flight catching up on rss feeds!
- Mike Chang
but its reading experience is much much better plus fewer crash than safari when loading a chunk of picture and texts
- foxmachia {山石}
The biggest issue with using safari for me- is when I launch a link in a new window, then return to a blank page. Byline's built in browser doesn't have this issue- as you can always go to the next unread, from within its browser.
- robin k
mostly use Twinkle (Twitter client) and FriendFeed's iPhone site for staying up-to-date.
- Jon Price
So with byline, how do you sync it back to your google reader if you star some items. I can't figure out how to do that?
- Amani
Byline, it's nice looking and easy to use. @Amani: press that reload button at bottom left
- Kristian Salonen
@Kristian - Voila ... it works. Thanks. So simple.
- Amani
Byline.
- Michael Connick
netnewswire. . .particularly since it syncs to a decent mac client
- Franz Sittampalam
Byline and Google Reader ...
- Patrick Jordan
NetNewsWire. I like how it syncs online so I can read on my iPhone and my PC and not repeat news.
- J Craig
I've been using Byline since hearing all the good things about it in this discussion, and its reading experience is certainly pretty good, but syncing and, particularly, archiving is so unbelievably, annoyingly slow. What's up with that?! I mean, I generally sync over Wi-Fi, but even then it can take minutes just to archive one article.
- Grey Drane
A combination of Google Reader (Safari) and Byline. Syncing with my online Google Reader account is a major plus. I agree with @grey that syncing is sloooow ... but the reading experience compensates that issue.

- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
@Ozkan here you have mostly US crowd who sold their souls for Apple crap, so don't expect them any serious advice on S60. For S60 you can use that Apple debilitated HTML output -- last service packs were adjusted so that Apple sites _also_ shown perfect. But better result will be with XHTML. For offline sync one might need someone to write you an app.

Of course the advantage the Eee 1000H has over the Wind is that I am actually using it right now! No waiting for delivery is necessary - Amazon has them in stock. Right shift keys aren't an issue for me, I'm pretty much a left-shift-only kind of guy. The 1/2 lb lighter would be nice, though. Right now the 1000H seems HUMONGOUS compared to my Eee 900.

iPhone 3G issues: who's to blame?: How I kept my geek genes in check by not buying an iPhone 3G yet, I'.. http://www.jkontherun.com/2008...
So far 3G on my iPhone has worked outstandingly well for me - but my only experience with it has been in the Charleston-Huntington, WV area and the northern VA suburbs of DC. I should find out next month how it works in the Philadelphia and/or NYC metropolitan areas.
- Michael Connick
I had a reception problem with my 1st Gen two weeks after the 3G launch. Apple replaced it with no questions asked. Then I upgraded just because it was so easy to offload my 1st Gen for $400. In the end…It was worth it to me and my problems have been minimal. I live in the DC area so my coverage is pretty good. GPS is a nice addition and G3 provides me with a noticeable speed increase...

First of all, there are currently no blacklisted applications. Second, the poorly understood function for removing applications seems only to apply to Core Service apps and seems to be a way of dealing with possible malware. There has been a tremendous amount of hot air written on this topic.

Having the 3G is really worth the little extra trouble of keep a close eye on the battery level. Speaking of 3G, I've been astonished to find the entire Charleston, WV area well covered by AT&T 3G service. I even get a good signal in my house in the suburbs. Sprint has never managed to get any EV-DO service in the Charleston area.

I'm user # 919 on LiveJournal but technically I muxed accounts. I had a reverse chrono website going back to 97 or so. I had a WordPress blog with many years of content but whacked it due to apathy and boredom after the first punch of traffic. I'm taking Geritol too.
- Jay Cuthrell
I wish that I did. The remainder of it was lost on an old Colorado Tape Backup in the mid-90s. I also ran a FidoNet node BBS from about 87-92. We had some cool newsletters/publications/discussion threads going around back then with each other, but they were ASCII / ANSI not HTML so I don't think they count. (I mean, to be blogging, it has to be the web, right?) So that's why I meant it depends on how we're defining blogging.

Active on Usenet in the late 1970's, I wrote one of the first Mac BBS systems (Mouse Exchange) in 1984, and then the first Mac Fidonet software (Tabby) in 1985 and got my picture in MacWorld), so I've been talking on some kind of public network forever!

I don't think that quite counts as blogging, though. However, I'm envious; I loved and miss the brief time I had on USENET before it was stormed and by the AOL 'me too' army.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva: it's unclear - which is why I asked "what do we mean by blogging". There's no doubt that the publications and conversations circulating on Usenet and Fidonet and the BBS world back in the day were online diaries / opinion journals / threaded discussions just like we have today with web logs. The strict definition, though, would be the web / HTML version of such things, which wasn't really around (for most of us) until the summer of '93.

Safari went bonkers on my iPod Touch; started complaining that I wasn't connected to the Internet when I clearly was - now doing a full restore, hope this works to fix it!
it's feeling threatened by those new iPhone thingies.
- James Kendrick
Well I'm flip-flopping between buying an iPhone this month or waiting until October when my Sprint contract expires.
- Michael Connick
Well the restore didn't fix the problem, so next I'm going to start deleting apps to see if one or more of them is causing some kind of conflict with Safari. If it isn't any of them, then it's likely a hardware problem. I don't even want to think about that!
- Michael Connick
Well removing apps didn't work either. Time for plan Z - a complete restore from a different PC, thereby no files or settings will be restored. It should be factory fresh. If this doesn't work then it's back to Apple!
- Michael Connick
from twhirl
That didn't work either, looks like it's time to send the Touch back to Apple for service. Too bad there aren't any Apple Stores in WV! Looks like I just got further motivation to buy an iPhone sooner rather than later. Now, where is the nearest AT&T store?

- Clay Newton
there seem to be some memory issues. I'm using the original iphone with 2.0 and have had many of the problems with crashes, etc. I just did a fresh restore (not from backup) and things seem a little better. Also, if you're having problems with apps starting and immediately crashing....try removing the app from your phone, and resyncing to itunes. It will reinstall it, and it should be fine. Some sort of security thing that's getting hung up.
- shaun mclane
It's buggy on the new phones too. Some apps behave better than others. Does the iPhone have preemptive multitasking? It might not.
- Steve Rubel
I'm using an original with 2.0 software. It crashes a lot, but the benefits are large. I was just driving around when I parked and opened up "Boxoffice", found out hellboy was playing near me, and now I'm posting to ff outside the theatre. The apps are making this a cooler though less stable world.

Interesting, I've installed about 10 apps on my 16GB iPod Touch and haven't noticed any problems at all. I have had iTunes 7.7 crash twice during syncing, but without any ill effects on either iTunes or my iPod.

Me too. The jailbreak apps were much more stable and useful; now I suppose they'll die off. Super Monkey Ball is the major cause of crashes on my machine; the Google app is #2.

I'm noticing many hangups and sluggishness but I have nothing to compare it too (first iPhone). Monkeyball wouldn't start a couple of times either. Turning off and back on again resolved all problems.

I have found twitterfic and loopt to be the worse. Many times they will automatically restart my iphone. (gen 1)
- Tony
Wait, your phone is more sluggish even when you aren't running the apps? That's weird, because I thought the whole design was that apps couldn't run in the background, specifically to avoid impacting the user experience.

The current iPhone has multiple processors. It has 3 ARM chips in it. 3G may have the ARM multi-core chips. Not sure. The power draw isn't the processor, it is the network, screen and GPS. This is why it lasts longer when that stuff is off.
