Workaround for iPhone eating draft e-mail

I recently posted my experiences with a serious bug that I discovered on my iPhone 3GS after it lost the entire contents of two different e-mail messages. The bug appears to be caused by a problem with my e-mail accounts on MobileMe or Gmail and accessing them later on my iPhone.

The steps that I have used to demonstrate the bug, which I've been able to successfully replicate every time on my iPhone running OS 3.1 or 3.1.2 and my MobileMe account are posted in My iPhone eats draft e-mail--yours could too.

After providing Apple with … Read more

Yakkers, rejoice

YouMail's visual voice mail service adroitly blends voice message management in the cloud with an on-phone in-box for hands-on filing. After authorizing YouMail to handle your voice mails, you'll be able to view those messages in any order from the app's in-box. Contrast this to the traditional method of calling an access number, inputting your PIN, and listening to your messages in chronological order.

After a disappointingly rudimentary initial offering, YouMail has boned up on the navigation and activities that users can do online. It now has push notification for new messages, the ability to delete messages, … Read more

Worthless astrology program

MB Scorpio Astrology Software provides a detailed look at the supposed characteristics of people born under the Scorpio star sign. Although the program does provide a lot of information, it's not very well-written, and we don't know that it's particularly accurate.

The first thing that concerns us about this program is the fact that it doesn't really need to be a program at all. It doesn't do anything. There aren't even any buttons to push or options to select; the program requires no user input whatsoever. All it does is give information about the … Read more

Massage guide

MB Free Reflexology Software provides two instructional ways to relieve pain and disease. The program is designed well and the tutorials are written so anyone can use the knowledge, which we loved.

The program's interface was simple for us to begin using. The layout was intuitive and the Help file gave us a solid understanding of reflexology and Shiatsu, and both were central to our success. We were given the choice between reflexology and Shiatsu and both proved to be impressive. The Shiatsu option was our favorite, as it allowed us to choose a mentality to improve, such as … Read more

Simple aromatherapy definitions

MB Aromatherapy Dictionary Software provides an impressive collection of terminology related to the study and practice of aromatherapy. With a simple layout and easily interpreted definitions, this program succeeds.

The program's interface took us no time to understand. With the functions of a dictionary cut down to the bone, there is nothing to see here but a list of words and the definition. This was fortunate because the online Help file provided an all too brief description of the program and nothing more. The program had hundreds of terms listed in alphabetical order, which allowed us to scroll down … Read more

Worthless ebook

How to Overcome Procrastination is not a piece of software. Rather, it's a 61-page PDF containing 101 tips for overcoming procrastination. Although some of the tips are helpful, overall, we were not impressed.

The e-book is broken down into several chapters, including sections on procrastination at home, at school, at work, and in human relationships. Here and there we found helpful advice, but for the most part the tips seemed to consist of "This type of behavior is procrastination! Don't do it!" Rather than actually giving readers tools for beating procrastination, the book is filled examples … Read more

Basic ABC instruction

ABC Fun is a very basic program that helps young children learn to identify letters. There's not much to it, but it's easy and fun to use.

The program's interface consists of a large blank space in the middle with the letters of the alphabet down each side. Users either click on a letter with the mouse or touch the letter on the keyboard, and an object that starts with that letter appears in the middle of the screen. An excited-sounding woman's voice speaks along with it, saying, for example, "A is for apple!" … Read more
