There have been a number of recent articles describing the way that consumers user their iPhone. Interestingly enough, compared to normal smartphone users iPhone users talk less and browse the web more then their counterparts.
In fact:
“iPhone owners spend the time they use their iPhones engaged in voice calls (that number is 71.7 percent for BlackBerry owners). Also, iPhone owners in the US claim to spend 12.1 percent of their iPhone time on the net (compare that to 2.4 percent for all other mobile phones on average)”
Sync Safari Bookmarks From Your Mac to Your iPhone & iPod Touch
If you find yourself using your iPhone and iPod Touch to browse the web more and more each day then be sure to setup your iPhone/iPod Touch to sync your Safari Bookmarks.
- Open iTunes and connect your iPhone/iPod Touch

Discover interesting sites while on the go and able to check back on them when you return to the larger screen comfort of your Mac. Taking your bookmarks with you has never been easier.
Last week apple announced a number of software features and additions to the upcoming release of iPhone 2.0. One of the most significant features was the support for Microsoft Exchange servers.
Now users will be able to access their work based email with full Microsoft Exchange support on their iPhone.
Since Apple often mentions how the software you use on your iPhone and iPod Touch are based on the same code as their counterpart applications on your Mac computer, it suggests that Microsoft Exchange support will also be coming to mail.app.
This possibility is significant as it helps push Apple’s products more into the business market
IF Mail for OS X does gain full Microsoft Exchange support then users will be able to take full advantage of their work email without needing to purchase Microsoft Office 08 to gain access through Entourage.
Apple may have added one more feature to their iWork package, Corporate Email Support through MAIL.
Even though Apple recently increased the storage space of their iPhones and iPod Touches, the 16gb or 32gb options may just not be enough for you. Well, don’t worry about filling up your iPhone space with files you only need some of the time. Store the files online and only download them when you need them most.
FREE ONLINE STORAGE FOR THE IPHONE/IPOD TOUCH
DivShare.com provides users with 5gb of Free online storage (you can pay for additional space) and has recently optimized their website for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Once you’ve created a free account with divshare.com you can quickly upload any file to their servers and either keep the file private, or make it accessible to others. Personally, I like to keep things private.
ACCESSIBLE ANYWHERE
When you need the file most you can use your iPhone (or iPod Touch) to navigate to http://www.divshare.com/iphone and login to your account. All the files you’ve uploaded will be nicely displayed for you on your iPhone (or iPod Touch). Select the file you’d like to open and Safari on your iPhone will download and display the file contents to you.
I personally find it very useful for word documents and excel files. I then know I can quickly access any document that I may need while being out and about.
SEND OUT FILES
Note that the iPhone and iPod Touch do no support all file types, but are great for opening word documents, excel files, and more. Although not all file types can be accessed by your iPhone or iPod Touch, divshare.com provides the ability to email the files to anyone of your choice. This makes sending out files while you’re away from your computer to individuals that need them quick and easy. Of course, assuming you remembered to upload them before you left.
Apple updated their website and online store today with increase in the amount of memory available to the high end iPhone/iPod touch.
For $499 you can now pick up a 16gb iPhone. Many people were suprised this move didn’t come earlier as the iPod Touch was selling with a 16gb model. Now people will wonder why the iPhone doesn’t come in a 32gb option as the iPod touch can now hold that much memory for $499. I’m sure Apple believe that an iPhone model at 32gb for what one can only guess would cost $599 wouldn’t sell as much as the lower, cheaper model.
Both the iPhone and iPod touch updated models are shipping in a 1 - 3 day time frame. So, if you were hoping for a little bit more space on your portable devices, your wish has been granted.
