This post was written by Evan Schaeffer: "Here are two good posts from Jeff Richardson of iPhone J.D.--

  • "iPhone apps that I use at my desk" (including a discussion of apps such as DaysFrom, QuickOffice and NotifyMe); and
  • "Review: ZeroTap -- quickly move text from your computer to your iPhone"

Many lawyers don't have iPhones. But for those that do, Richardson's site is a great resource."

This post was written by Bonnie Shucha: "Fastcase recently released an app for the iPhone. And not only is the app free, but so access to the case law and statutes that it contains -- even if you don't practice in a state like Wisconsin where the desktop computer version of Fastcase is free through the State Bar.

 

So far the reviews have been very good, including this one from iPhone JD:..."

"iPad = iWow"

| No TrackBacks

This post was written by J. Benjamin Stevens: "I missed Steve Jobs' keynote address yesterday announcing the iPad, but I have watched Apple's video about the it (admittedly several times) in the last 24 hours.  Wow.  I was anxiously waiting to see what Steve had up the sleeve of his black turtleneck with regard to a table computer, but the iPad far surpasses my expectations..."

Posted by Robert Ambrogi: "It's true. LexisNexis today announced the release of its application for the iPhone. It is called "Get Cases and Shepardize" and it lets you, well, get cases and Shepardize them simply by entering a citation.

The good news is that the app is free to download from Apple's iTunes store. The bad news is that you will need a LexisNexis subscription to use the app.

"Worldox for the Mac"

| No TrackBacks

Posted by John Heckman: "Worldox Web/Mobile was originally designed for the PDA, and works with just about anything from Blackberrys to iPhones. Given that most people have remote access to their office, the primary function of PDA access is usually to email documents to other people.

However, since Worldox Web is platform independent and works with just about any web browser, this means Mac users (otherwise shut out from the majority of legal software) can use their browser to access the firm's Worldox document store. It won't be quite as slick as the regular Worldox program, but will be perfectly workable."

Posted by J. Benjamin Stevens: "Everybody loves a good magic show, as long as the magic works.  Last week, Apple introduced its Magic Mouse, which it bills as "the world's first Multi-Touch mouse."  With its Bluetooth connectivity, it now enables many of the multi-touch gestures that users of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and newer MacBooks have come to love. 

However, some initial reviews have been less than stellar, which raises the question of whether the Magic Mouse is more style than substance.  While CNET raved about its sleek appearance, it was very critical of the Magic Mouse's narrow profile that "sits too low for comfort", "awkward and unnatural" feel when sliding our middle and index fingers across the flat surface, and inability to reassign the gestures to suit your personal preferences. 

The image below shows the many multi-touch gestures the Mighty Mouse offers.  I haven't had an opportunity to try one out myself, but I welcome your comments of your experiences."
