Over at another blog I've been managing recently on the topic of time management, we've had a host of guest bloggers contribute great suggestions on being more productive, staying more organized, and better managing our time and attention. Julie Morgenstern, a widely followed author, reminded us never to check email in the morning. Linda Stone, a former executive at Apple and Microsoft who speaks often on managing our attention so we don't get too distracted, suggested taking more time for reflection. And David Allen, who has his own cult following of productivity Junkies, reminded us not to get too attached to technology. Those are just some of the many helpful hints they've offered up. If you haven't been following the blog, it's worth checking out. Now that the experts have spoken, it's our turn. I spoke with someone the other day that gave me a tip I'm going to try to implement myself: Create a stop-doing list, along with a to-do list. Make a list of the things you're going to try to stop doing, and check that as often as the list of things you have to do. It's just as important to not getting overloaded with tasks that are unimportant, that others could be doing, or that just shouldn't be taking up your time. Now, I'm asking you: What are the time management secrets you put to use every day? How do you manage the email deluge? What are the ideas you implement to get from your coffee-fueled commute and back home again to the peopl ...

People used to wait in line at consumer electronics stores because they truly, deeply, fervently wanted to be first to score a hot new gadget. Now? The early birds in line several days early outside Apple Stores for the most part aren't Apple Junkies. They're media-seekers who desperately want attention , not an iPhone. Would-be media disruptors are happy to provide. Check out this post from New Zealand: "Sorry for the video quality but I wanted to get this online before the mainstream media does." How very subversive of you. This is all great for Apple — you don't see any Greg Packer types pretending to be in line for an LG Dare . ...

As technology aficionados lined up around the world today to buy Apple's iPhone 3G , Portfolio.com decided to find out how simple gadgets invented centuries ago stack up to the tricked-out electronic toys of the 21st century. We asked readers, which one is best? Bells and whistles were by no means a predictor of success. Though 22 percent of the 214 voters selected the iPhone , the lowly pencil came in a close second with 19 percent of the vote. Sharing the third-place berth were two gadgets with very little in common: the always-beeping BlackBerry and the strong but silent Swiss Army knife. The top four gadgets left the others in the dust: G.P.S. attracted only 8 percent of voters and the Taser (coming to a New York police station near you) won a mere 7 percent. Perhaps as an indication that the iPhone's older cousin, the iPod, is here to stay, the Walkman came in last, taking just 6 percent of the vote. It was tied with--wait for it--the abacus. But as the pencil's success indicates, some gadgets never go out of style. The Results: iPhone.................. 22% Pencil................... 19% BlackBerry............ 16% Swiss Army Knife..16% G.P.S........................8% Taser......................  7% Walkman................. 6% Abacus.................... 6% - Caitlin Roman Related Links What's Good for Apple is Better for Everyone Else Survey Confirms iPhone Users are Hard-Core Internet Junkies A New Frontier for Mobile Phones ...

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The measure of a successful technology product is oftentimes the number of applications developed for it. This is not a tried-and-true method, but it's a good eyeball test. Computer that have lots of software applications, game consoles that have lots of games and mobile phones that have lots of neat tools are oftentimes the ones that give you the most value. It's why we buy them. Apple has a different approach. Mac-aholics will buy the latest gadget or gizmo regardless of applications because that's what Junkies do. They need more. The iPhone, though, is getting some tracking from the mobile developer market -- maybe more traction than other phones. There are currently 1,001 software applications available for the iPhone. This is a really big deal for two reason: people love their Macs (see above) and they love to build applications , something they don't normally get to do with Apple products. Not all applications are created equal; however, Apple's brand is build upon personal communication and that means many of the best applications are being developed around that, which should make most folks happy (since only a few of us really want to have spreadsheets and document editing on their phones). ...

Blaise Zerega says long live the party line. Consumers who have downloaded some 60 million iPhone programs from Apple's App Store may soon be in for a treat. GIPS announced today that it's voice-over-internet-protocol technology is now available for developers to integrate into iPhone applications. Most of the coverage of VOIP in the mobile space tends to focus on placing voice calls over a smartphone's WiFi and thus avoiding hefty charges from carriers -- for good reason. But the opportunities presented to iPhone developers with VOIP technology from GIPS and others, means more mobile apps offering multi-person chat and videogames with in-game chat. While I haven't yet ventured into Kingdom Game , let me know if you think high-quality VOIP would help attract more peasants and make me a Ruler of the known world.   Related Links What's Good for Apple is Better for Everyone Else Survey Confirms iPhone Users are Hard-Core Internet Junkies Apple Makes iPhone What it Should Have Been All Along ...

Kevin Maney writes: Perhaps the new iPhone is actually a magical touchstone that brings health, happiness and, no doubt, sex to all who own one. Which is about the only explanation I can think of for the lines at iPhone stores and stop-the-world attention it's getting. OK, the iPhone 3G is cool and fun. I get that. It's also not perfect. The major reviewers like it with some caveats . Kudos to Apple for making people think they HAVE to have one NOW. But...I'll get in line when the thing can bring world peace. In the meantime, there are and have been lots of gadgets out there. Next to this story on the iPhone is the Gadget Death-Match poll where you can vote on which gadget is best.

Just as Google was an upstart 10 years ago and now is the dominant player in the search-engine world, Apple has reinvented the cellular phone market with it's all-in-one-gadget-you-can-call-mom-on. And now it appears that ten million people have joined the revolution of iPhone Junkies . Just as the Crackberry changed us into carpal-tunnel maniacs with our thumbs flying across keys smaller than we could have imagined they would hit, the iPhone has us fumbling across a bad keyboard and sending our messages with spelling only a third grader could love. But that hasn't stopped us. Ten Million. Think about that. In a mere 15 months they have not only dominated a market but changed how people communicate. While Google talked about a phone, Apple jumped up and applied their legendary industrial-design skills to give us a communication device. What they did on a business level is amazing. With one device, they entered and took over four markets...the PDA, MP3 Players, Smartphones and Wi-Fi Devices. They also introduced the mass market to cloud computing with the Mobile Me package. They have created a mini-economy by presenting application developers both a platform, market and storefront in the iTunes stores. Essentially, they have done in little over one year what every business aspires to do: become synonymous with the item they sell. And they did it in a crappy economy. If I sound like a zealot, I really am not. I am just an admirer o ...
