Pocket (formerly Read It Later)

By admin | Published: April 17, 2012

Pocket is quite a depar­ture from ‘Read it later’*. New visual iden­tity, new web­site, new inter­face design, a promo video — it is more of a scrath-the-past-and-start-over kind of a thing.

That is a nice improve­ment as these new […]

From the Ars Technica art­icle: This means that the increased 1080p res­ol­u­tion breaks com­pat­ib­il­ity with everything older than the iPhone 4S anyway, […]

iA Writer is a great writ­ting app for iOS cap­able of syncing doc­u­ments through iCloud and Dropbox. The best fea­ture is the Focus Mode that lets you com­fort­ably con­cen­trate on what’s import­ant — your writ­ing. Unfortunately, there’s no Focus Mode on the iPhone. This may be related to the smal­ler screen size, but being one of […]
