iOSDocked - EP013 - Which Way is Wright
If you use the built-in note application on your iOS device, you may have noticed the limited functionality. But I thought I would share with you a couple tips on getting better organized with your notes if you also use a Mac.
This summer, the general public will have access to better note integration thanks to the announced Mountain Lion OS. Until then, there are a couple of tips I would like to share with you now that you can take advantage of right now.
Sometimes my love of technology gets in the way of me actually enjoying technology.
Just two weeks ago, it was just a regular work day. I was working on some spreadsheets on my MacBook Air when I pulled a wireless number keypad out of my laptop bag and it slipped out if my hands and flew directly into the screen of my 11" MacBook Air. As I pulled my jaw off the floor, I looked at my MacBook with its cracked display and decided that it was time to upgrade.

I honestly think AirPlay is a sleeper technology that Apple is slowly evolving to make a wireless iOS dock. AirPlay continually gets better and now Mountain Lion is scheduled to incorporate more AirPlay features. I think it’s only a matter of time before the AppleTV gets a new name and just becomes AirPlay Dock.
I couldn't agree more Gabe. I like to think of a future where any monitor connected to the Apple TV AirPlay Dock can act as a full fledged monitor for an iPad or even an iPhone. I think one problem Apple has to solve is input to this iOS computer. I tweeted on February 20th
@JNGold I would love apple to support a cursor when you are AirPlay mirroring. Then a keyboard/touchpad dock from apple.

I think Gabe and myself have it right. Apple should support a simple white circle on the AirPlay mirrored screen to represent where your finger is just like they have used in keynote presentations in the past. I also think that if Apple implements this they could support the Magic Trackpad as an input device to the iPad truly opening up the possibilities of using your iPad as your only computer.
I couldn't help myself. I had to preorder the Nike+ FuelBand. Well, it arrived at my doorstep and I just couldn't wait to share the unboxing experience.
