But FileMaker says it has found a way to exploit the iPhone's interface, multi-touch gestures and Wi-Fi capabilities to make Bento for the iPhone as useful as its desktop counterpart. The result is an app that has many, but not all of the capabilities of its full-sized sibling.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/06/first.look.bento.iphone/ Wed, 06 May 2009 13:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/13/first.look.livescribe.mac/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0903/livescribefl.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Taking notes can be a real chore. While writing down an important point or copying a diagram, it can be easy to miss a speaker's next topic. Livescribe's Pulse Smartpen is designed to solve these problems, by recording both a user's notes and the corresponding audio. Previously available only for Windows users, Livescribe has just released its Desktop software for the Mac, giving users the ability... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/13/first.look.livescribe.mac/ Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/17/imovie.09.video.editor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0902/17-imovie-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Two versions ago, iMovie HD 6 offered powerful video editing for novices. For iMovie ë08, Apple completely rewrote the program to focus on making video editing simpler, but at the sacrifice of its more sophisticated editing features. When users howled their disapproval, Apple quickly made the original iMovie HD app available as a free download. Now with iMovie ë09, Apple has combined the simplicit... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/17/imovie.09.video.editor/ Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/12/first.look.arcade.maniak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0902/11-arcade-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The iPhone -- and the iPod touch -- are fast becoming popular handheld gaming platforms. Most of the available games put more emphasis on eye-hand coordination, but a few, like Arcade Maniak, are more intellectual challenges that require thinking instead of raw reaction time.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/12/first.look.arcade.maniak/ Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/02/first.look.iphoto.09/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0901/02-iphoto-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The flagship title in the iLife '09 suite is arguably iPhoto '09. The original 2002 version helped to shape the way people store and organize digital photos, and the newest version carries on the tradition of making it fun and easy to generate personal libraries.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/02/first.look.iphoto.09/ Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/29/first.look.iweb.09/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0901/29-iweb-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />There are plenty of options for creating webpages. Professionals typically opt for editors like DreamWeaver, while hardcore designers may choose to dive into the HTML code. It's theoretically possible to use ordinary word processors, but the resulting pages are often too simplistic. For the average person who wants to create professional-quality pages without taking design classes -- or learning ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/29/first.look.iweb.09/ Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/26/first.look.npr.mobile/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0901/26-npr-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Even if you're a regular National Public Radio (NPR) listener, there's a chance you won't catch your favorite shows during the day.

At the low-end it's possible to just cram a hard drive into an external enclosure, but if you prefer a more sophisticated solution, youíll probably be happier with a dedicated drive. One such device -- marketed towards audio and video professionals, but usable by anyone -- is EZQuestís Thunder Pr... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/thunder.pro.a.v.drive/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/19/first.look.iworkcom/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0901/16-iwork-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The iWork suite may be good, but it's not the most popular office suite for the Mac; many Mac users are forced to use Microsoft Office to maintain file compatibility with Windows counterparts.
