After spending some time this week going through all of the items I brought back from Macworld, I’ve started to put together some thoughts on them. Over the next two weeks I’ll be writing reviews for many of the gadgets, books, and apps that I received during that time. Here are just some of the
I managed to score early access to the new Orchestra-created mail app for iOS, Mailbox. The idea behind the app is to allow you to get to a point where you aren’t weighed down by your inbox – it allows you to use gestures and taps to turn your emails into actionable items (of sorts).
