I HATE APPLE

im sure there some middle ware thingy thatll do the job

You can make Google Calendar sync directly w/iPhone. They have an Exchange server mode, and you'll even get your calendar items pushed to the phone. Pretty smooth.

there's something called nuevasync that I used to use to sync google calendar with ical via exchange mode. I can't remember why that was needed but it was. Now the service costs money and I never look at my calendar mobil-y anyway. Thing was I have an iPod touch, no iphone, and the idea was to sync so I could pull out the ipod and see if I was busy on a certain day.

Google didn't used to have Exchange support. They do now.

Guys microsoft outlook syncs with iPhone, no?

It does when there is an exchange server. Not sure if you use Outlook to access something else (but then you would just use your iPhone to access that something else - POP, IMAP server, etc.).

iphones exchange sever support is better than fucking entourage, frankly.

im really loving this new Reeder app for osx

anything special about it? I use NetNewsWire on my iPod Touch but just use Google Reader when I'm at a computer. Didn't take to NNW's OSX app.

Really liking Reeder OS X too. Still have a lot of bookmarks I need to get out of NNW.

what's wrong with nnw?

reeder feels like an ipad app made by a windows user imo.

nnw is great. the pc equivalent is a bit horrid tho (surprise!)

I'm liking reeder except for the switches that are obviously meant for swiping and not clicking.

jailbroke my phone last night only to have it fucking stick on apple logo. RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS. BLOW ME APPLE

you live in opposite world imo

The Reeder iPad app has a screwy opening screen, but the rest is very iPad-ish, not sure what caek means. The swipe left/right to star or mark unread is a little less obvious, but useful.

IMO, Reeder for iPhone > OS X Reeder > iPad Reeder, as far as polish goes.

NNW was great on the desktop but I ditched it years ago when I started using Google Reader full-time, and I haven't really ever gone back even though I've tried newer versions. Reeder is good at viewing articles, but also smooth at doing with those what I need (send link to friend, send to Instapaper, etc.)

I only use(d) NNW on iPod because it downloaded the articles, which Google Reader did not. I could download my blogs while in WIFI, then read them later while not online.

i still use nnw on teh desktop, it's fine, but nnw for iphone, even tho it was one of the launch apps, has been a shit show since day 1 ime.

just got reeder and LOVE it tho (ON IPHONE)

yeah, I'll probably just use Reeder on my iPod now.

i use byline

Byline is pretty OK. As far as iPhone usage goes, I started with Byline, went back to just using Google Reader's mobile page, and then went to Reeder.

Reeder (iPhone) definitely wins. NNW was the shit for about two months, then Gatorade got lazy and stopped working on it and everyone else caught up. The new NNW is orrite but nowhere near as good as Reeder.

"but the rest is very iPad-ish, not sure what caek means."

that's exactly what i mean. only someone who had never used a mac could design a desktop app like the desktop reeder.

Ahh, I was refering to the iPad app. The desktop one is a little too iPaddy (name of my iPad btw) but I can take it.

Me: Reeder ON IPHONE, NNW on mac, no ipad fer chrissakes.

But jailbroke 2 days ago, and MyWi is totally incredibly essential and amazing and wonderful. Can't love on it enough. Really.

I really like reeder on the ipad, it's one of the few apps that actually pays attention to how you hold it.

nice touches:
The up/down buttons halfway up where your thumb would be.
The pinch in/out to go back and forth, like how Photos does it, is also genius, and I hate that not every app does that. So much nicer than having to press a little button at the top.
Slide to star/mark as read.

I'm in the middle of working on some iphone/ipad apps, so I've been consciously examining the UI in the apps I've been using. I just got one called Aweditorium that's pretty cool, haven't spent too much time with it yet.

Reeder for mac is interesting, it feels like a hybrid mac/ipad app. Kind of annoying that the "star" button is so far from the items list, though you can just press "S" I suppose. The first version didn't have any names for the feeds, only icons, which was too cryptic. Cool to see the progression, though not sure if I'll stop using the web version. I still haven't found a mail interface I like more than the gmail web app.

i hate the color...other then that I'm loving it.

Reeder? You can increase the contrast, I dunno if that helps.

Reeder for Mac is one of the first few apps to feel like an iOS->Mac OS backport. I'm sure there will be a number more, especially post Mac App Store and Apple's upcoming OS with iOS-inspired GUI pieces.

contrast? I'm talking about Reeder on the Mac.

The iOS source is obvious, but it can be fixed pretty easily. LIke that damn slider up top. Should be buttons.

also, the contrast between read items and unread items isn't great enough.

Sorry.

and why is there always the last post you were reading in the preview pane, even after everything's been marked read? It should be empty.

"LIke that damn slider up top."

yeah, way too gratuitous and actually more confusing than buttons. clarity over cutesy, please.

I see what you mean about contrast. It's hard to tell if you're focused on the leftmost pane (feeds) or the second one (items).

nice to use keyboard shortcuts, which I never use in the web version, even though you can. maybe i should give this a proper chance..

back button on the bottom? WHY? on ipad - perfect. on desktop, stupid.

Latest version of Reeder for Mac is seriously making me want to dump NNW. I AM OLD AND ITS EASIER TO READ FFS

Today's the first time I've ever used iWork to do actual work and it's driving me up the wall.

New version of Reeder fixes some of the contrast issues. nice.

Would love to switch to Reeder but that beige background looks like ass. Please tell me there's a hack to change it.

Still not happy w/ contrast, but can't tell if the slider up top changed, but it's now acting more like a button. Click where you want and it slides there. Still think it should physically look more like a button.

Just emailed the company about the bg color. Under "help" there's a "feature request" option.

I don't think I can read two sentences in a row in that article without grinding my teeth!

jeez what a dork

loool, huffpost obviously trolling for hits so they can up their ad fees

so the writer didn't realize that learning a brand new platform and moving all his shit was going to be somewhat inconvenient?

My frustration beginning to boil, I figured I'd cool down with some swing dancing videos stored on my hard drive.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah

since when did the huffpo become the onion
