• "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 Richard Georges: "Lookout Mobile Security :: Security that moves with you. Mobile and smart phones have an inherent security risk. They are small, and can be lost or stolen easily... So, why not use an application that is free, downloadable, and which not only backs up all of your contacts and photos, but also contains an antivirus that scans all new downloads?

Podcast description form the site: "Budgetary concerns have forced lawyers to take a hard look at software costs. That's brought Open Source software onto their radar screens. The price - free - is obviously attractive, but Open Source is a completely different approach to software than lawyers expect. In this episode, co-hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell introduce the approach and philosophy of Open Source, the programs available, and when and where it might make sense for you. After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis' co-blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.

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

This post was written by Tom Mighell: "I've never been a fan of giving PowerPoint presentations from my phone - I like more control over the program I'm using to give the presentation.
