Minisode Topic

2012 is upon us and the start of a new year is when many people like to make changes that will enrich their lives. This show is an insight to how we use our mobile devices to help us make us those changes and how our devices assist us in reaching those goals we set for ourselves. The iPhone is much more than a communication or media device. It can also be used as a helpful tool in monitoring our health condition and active lifestyles.

Clay - I set a goal to lose 50 pounds by July 12th of this year. I am a father now and I want to set a good example for my child and I want to be an active parent as my daughter grows up. I am proud to say I have lost 15 of those 50 pounds and I look forward to sharing with you how my iPhone has helped me thus far. Jerry - As a Type I insulin-dependent diabetic for over 40 years, I strive to manage the various aspects of my life, including Blood Glucose levels, diet, exercise, etc. From my days of using Palm OS thru Windows Mobile, and now the iPhone, I have been active in seeking out the best applications to help me manage my diabetes.

It doesn't offer any built-in keyboard shortcuts. It doesn't have "labels". It doesn't even have a "Priority Inbox". Yet I still prefer it over Gmail. Why is that? Because it's simple.

The "Fanboy" will tell you that the way Apple does it is better with their fast app-switching saved state method because it is better on battery life.

i-Device Dilemma: Making Sense of Home Screens

I like things to make sense. I like things to be familiar. I like knowing that there is some fluidity in my workflows. But I have a dilemma. At what point does keeping things familiar and fluid get in the way of making sense? This is where my problem lies.
