Just when I thought I couldn't find any more techy stuff, I found Eyejot---a video email so that you can never be misunderstood. Now I won't use this for everyone, but it is pretty nice especially to send video messages to people instead of pics and just text.  Here is a video about the service. Of course I am going to use it. Visit the web site at www.eyejot.com.

If you are like me, you are always sending large files to people.  And even though high speed connects are here there are stil times when you need to send that "large" attachment. I have been a fan of senduit.com a free service that allows you to send large files to anyone with and email address.  The only drawback is that you can only send up to 100MB file.  While that is good, many of my files (espcially video) are larger than this limit.

One day a vendor sent me a file and used YouSendIt and I downloaded it without thinking much about it.  Then I had to send a large video file to a client over 100MB and I decided to sign up for an account.

Here are the things that stood out about YouSendIt

• Free 14 Trial (No Credit Card Needed)
  
• Price plans that start at $9.95 per month (eliminating ads)
• A plethora or plug-ins for Mac and PC
  

Overall, I am very happy with the service. The old saying goes, "you pay for what you get" and this is definitely worth the price.

Ok, if you all know me well, I am an Obama supporter. My good friend R. Thierry shot and producedd the video, I just gave him my Obama footage. Enjoy, you will hear about RefleXions and this video again.

Ok, I am trying it--Loopt--Your Social Compass. I downloaded it to my iPhone and I am going to see how it works. Here is the cliff notes version:

 You should have unlimited SMS (text messaging) when downloading this application.

Ok, sounds scary--I know I was hesitant, but I will give it a try and I asked some friends to try with me and we will see how it goes.

Two iPhone "killer apps" and why I didn't upgrade to 3G
I'm an iPhone advocate and early adopter, got it on the first day it was sold last year, and couldn't be happier with the product.  (OK, sure I could.  The software can be "buggy," as Chip points out.)  I believe this product completely changes wireless, largely because it completely redefines the phone's user interface (UI) and delivers two killer apps to the phone.  

Killer apps for wireless are:
1) BlackBerry email.  However, they developed this experience many years back.
2) iPhone (version 1) wireless Web interace.  95% of iPhone users surf the Web regularly on their phone ... because it is a good/great experience.
3) iPhone 3G App Store, immediately loaded with 500 new apps, some useful, some not.

For this reason, I am completely happy with my non-3G version of the iPhone.  The App Store is fantastic and is the 2nd "killer app" that the iPhone has delivered, but you don't need to get a second version of the iPhone to get that service; it is available in the software upgrade.  If you don't believe me as to how cool this App Store is, download the Pandora app to your iPhone, create your own radio station, and start hearing your favorite music as you walk down the street  or work out.  The non-3G version also received access to Microsoft Exchange and Active Sync, so it is more enterprise ready, meaning your IT department can no longer use that as an excuse to shut you out from the.

There are advantages to upgrading to 3G, most prominently 3G speeds (very important, though a battery drain), GPS (though I love pseudo-GPS Google Locator on my iPhone), and improved call and spearkerphone quality and volume (wish I had that).  The biggest disadvantage of upgrading is that you have to pay more on a monthly basis - $10 more for data usage and hidden $5 more for SMS, total $15 extra per month.  At least for the moment, I'm happy with my OLD iPhone.
