Wed, 31 Jul 2013 15:19:00 +0000

Take a look at the logo on the badge - Nexus!

Google hosted the local Mobile Monday (#MoMoSV) event earlier this week at their Mountain View campus and I couldn't help but notice this juxtaposition of brands... Google and Nexus. But not how the mobile trained mind would think - not as in a Nexus phone, but rather as in the Nexus 100 recycling bin!

Brian Warner of the Linux Foundation kicks off the final session

We are in San Francisco today for the Tizen Developer Conference. A relatively new mobile OS, Tizen is being developed as an open source OS for phones, tablets and other devices under the guidance of Samsung and Intel.

Native apps are developed as HTML5 apps, but there are also a number of companies at the event offering tools and services for porting Android and iOS apps to the platform.

It is a bit early to tell, but the conference is doing an excellent job helping us get all the details we look for when deciding if we should develop for a new platform.

Tip: Managing Completed Tasks with Fliq Tasks 3.0

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:00:00 +0000

With the release of the Android version of Fliq Tasks 3.0, there is a new feature available that comes in handy if you like to both keep track of completed tasks, but not clutter your task list with those same completed items.

Hide Completed Tasks

Fliq Tasks already had a feature under settings where you could "Hide completed tasks".

Turn this option on in settings to hide completed tasks from the task list

Filter by Completed Tasks

As of 3.0, there is now a useful filter available that will show you just your completed tasks, regardless of them being hidden from the other filters.




Combine these two features, and you can have it such that as you mark an item as completed, they will be hidden from your lists, but still available to quickly view via the new "Completed" filter.

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:17:00 +0000

Earlier this month we released the 2.0 version of SMS Log, adding support for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, as well as the ability to display and save multimedia messages (MMS). Today we have released a minor update which fixes some reported bugs, and adds a very nifty new feature -- the ability to sort the list of contacts based on how recently you have exchanged messages.

List of Changes

• New feature - Sort contacts display by last message date (contacts messaged recently sort to the top)
• Now check for and display a useful message for iOS devices that are using encrypted backups (which are not supported)
• Other minor fixes and enhancements

Try this new sorting option in Preferences!

Sorting by last message date is very handy -- it means the people that you have messaged recently will appear at the top of the contacts list. Give it a try!

As usual, get this update via the "Check for Updates" feature in the application, or by visiting our downloads page.

Important Note if Upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1:

If you are upgrading from 2.0, and have already purchased the premium feature, please sign in again via preferences after updating to this new release. Sorry for this inconvenience, but it is a required due to a change we made in where we securely store the account credentials in the OS X keychain.
