Beejive is multi protocol IM (Instant Message) client for iPhone. Most of iPhone users use Fring because of its price (free), so no one takes care of 1,200 yen app for IM.

I guess I wouldn't have paid for it, if I did not need look for an app which could run / connect in background and supported Jabber Group Chat.

There is not any better app for Jabber Group Chat than Beejive. This app is so stable and use less battery. It is worth to pay 1,200 yen.

Apple released Magic Trackpad which I had wanted for 10 years.

Now I use only MacBook Pro for all purpose except server, so I am very familiar with trackpad. I discarded mouse 10 years ago, and today I discard Kensington Expert Mouse.

I love this simple and seamless design with Wireless Keyboard.

I reported so late, but I should say this is the best combination of digital gadget ever, MacBook Pro (Core i7) + iPhone4 + iPad.

Before Core i series, MacBook Pro reached at only convinced level as a note pc for Pro/Prosumer's demand. Then, at last, with Core i series (especially Core i7), MBP became truly Professional note.

Like MBP Core i series, iPhone4 also got a power to be a real smart phone / PDA. I think 3G and 3GS were just a experiemental products of Apple for the next generation of real products. Honestly I say, 3G/3GS were good gadget, but it was sucks level for daily use.

iPad is a innovative product for living room and eBooks, though iPad won't be completed until iOS 4 for iPad is released.

MyWi is iPhone application which creates wi-fi hotspot on iPhone and enables tethering through 3G network.

I had already been aware of this app when Cydia alternate app directory "Rock" was released, but it didn't work well on my iPhone at that time.

I tried it once again, and now it works so fine. As its developer said, it seems work faster than PdaNet because of using native routing process, and it uses less battery resouce than PdaNet.
It supports also USB and Bluetooth connection.

MyWi is so nice app that it's worth jailbreaking.

I think WEP should be upgraded to WPA2.

Ragged ear pads of MDR were replaced with new pads. Only about 1500 yen saves your headphone.

I can't find the best note pad for my mobile use.

Rhodia A7 note book was too small and did not feel good material for me. Then next, I bought Rhodia Pad N°13 with Pad Holder. How about this?

I am sometimes irritated with feelings of ballpoint pen.

So, I choosed 3 well designed products, "Dr.Grip CL (PILOT) 0.7mm", "AirPress (TOMBO) 0.7mm", and "ENERGEL EURO (Pentel) 0.7mm".

Dr.Grip - Normal feeling, sometimes scratches.

AirPress - Feels like pencil. Ink is pale.

ENERGEL EURO - Smooth feeling. Ink moderately blurs.

Result - ENERGEL EURO wins, but I do not like its design. I like AirPress look.

Rhodia is one of my favorite analog tools.

Rhodia Classic Note is an alternate of my digital gadget iPhone.

By Dev-team's so much effort, JailBreak and SIM unlock was succeeded on iPhone software 3.0.

New SIM unlock app for 3.0 "Ultrasn0w" works fine with SIM card of NTT DoCoMo.

Most of apps which I need runs smooth, but I forgot to uncheck Pineapple logo of QuickPWN. Anyone knows how to change boot logo without restoring again? "LogoMe" can not be installed and does not run correctly in 3.0.

Boot logo image seemed to be loaded from flash ROM.

While I am working, there is no time to choose song for BGM from iTunes playlist and it disturbs concentration for my work. So, recently I like to listen FM radio rather than mp3 or internet radio.

I had not liked commercial FM radio before I started to feel annoying by choosing and looking for good music in digital archives because FM radio was full of trifle song and programs.

I guess the situation is slightly changed by today's depression. I feel japanese FM radio programs is getting better after recession. On the other hand, bunch of digital streaming radio appeared and quality programs disappeared.
