I'm Mac, and so am I..

Almost time...

It's almost time for teachers to return! We've had a busy summer with our two courses, iNtegrating iLife iNto iLearning and eXtending iLife iNto iLearning and the National Educational Computing Convention in San Antonio.

Please take a look at the supporting website under the communication tab. I've added a new document on GroupWise 7 for Mac.

Also, I've had problems releasing mail from the spam filter in GroupWise on my Mac. A work order has been placed. I hope it's a problem isolated with me, but if you are having a problem as well, please consider placing a work order. Of couse, the work around is to release mail from the web based version.

New iPhone Software

Rocks! TypePad made an ap just for the phone that works great!

Applications for iPhone

The applications for iPhone & iPod touch are now available via iTunes! You'll need to download the latest version of iTunes, available via software update.

There are some neat ones up! My favorite is iMilk. It's a virtual glass of milk you drink from your iPhone ; )

Mobile Me

Apple is in process of migrating .Mac accounts to a new service, called MobileMe. It looks like it will be great for iPhone owners, allowing them to be almost instantly up to date with any change on any device, iPhone, laptop, or desktop, without the need to sync.

Mail, calendars, and contacts will almost instantly reflect any change made on any device. While the migration is going on, web mail is down, as are other services. Hope the transition goes smoothly!
