MacJury #1008: Judgement on the First Weekend with the iPad 3G

With much less fanfare than accompanied the first model, the iPad 3G made its debut last weekend. Is it better than its less-connected sibling? The MacJury is on the case, with two members chiming in from the high seas, examining the latest device from both expectation and performance standpoints. The panel discusses the results of a real-world New York City travel test, and why 3G adds flexibility in some cases but may not be necessary in others.

MacVoices #1073: Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann of DEVONtechnologies Profiles the Capabilities of DEVONthink

Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann of DEVONtechnologies helps us understand the power and capabilities of DEVONthink, one of the most under-appreciated utilities in the Mac space. Best categorized as an information manager, DEVONthink is in a class by itself, helping the user capture, organize and search for the information they need. Eric explains why managing documents in DEVONthink is easier and more effective than a Finder-and-Spotlight-based system, the file types they support, importing methods, and the sharing and search capabilities. There are several versions of DEVONthink; Eric explains the differences, and also comments on why they asked Mac expert Joe Kissell to author the new book, Take Control of Getting Started with DEVONthink.
