Or, will you upgrade at all?

To be honest I was checking all day (ok, maybe not all day but fairly early on) and got my upgrade right around lunch time on the Eastcoast and so far I’m happy with my choice to upgrade.

There are a lot of new features that were included in this release but there were a couple in particular I was looking forward to.

Multitasking – this is by far one of the most sought after features for the iPhone. At one point I jail broke my phone (back at 3.1.2) just to get this feature even though it had a tendency to suck the life right out of my battery. The hooks are there for app developers to take advantage of it and while may haven’t yet one of my personal favorites, Evernote, already has. The ability to let photos and notes upload in the background is HUGE in my book.

Folders – another feature that I missed when I locked my phone back down. You simply drag one icon onto another and the iPhone creates the folder for you – simple. You are limited to just 12 apps per folder and it doesn’t appear that you can nest a folder within a folder but the feature works as advertised and I already have a number of folders set up.

Camera enhancements – there were a couple of enhancements to the native camera app, most notably a 5x digital zoom. This is another one of those features that I missed and even had an app installed so that I could zoom in. While I don’t remember seeing it mentioned elsewhere the camera function also seems to be a lot faster now – snap a picture and the shutter close delay is significantly shorter than before. I know for a lot of folks that’s not much but I for one use the camera an awful lot for data capture and every speed improvement is welcome.

I know there are a lot of features to this new OS update that I’m leaving out but those are the ones I was looking forward to (ok, being able to set your wallpaper is nice too). For those that are interested here’s the walk though video the folks over at Mashable shot.

So, did you upgrade? Not going to upgrade? Why not share in the comments.

If you’ve dropped by in the past you already know that I have a strong passion of the to-do application reQall and tonight an update for their iPhone application was pushed out which brings it up to date with the new features that they’ve rolled out in their web interface.

Items such as:

• Set up your own categories
• Add tags
• Faster add by voice
• Editing of due date and repeating dates
• User choices for eyes-free recording
• Wizard for sharing items
• Manually select location for ‘Here and Now’
• User-configurable today list
• New lists and grouping options

Keep in mind that some of those options will only be available for PRO users.

Don’t have reQall on your iPhone pick it up in the iTunes Store.

Finally!

I’ve been a user of Google Voice for some time and quite frankly was a bit upset when the plug was pulled on the app in the app store. I know you could still call the number and still use the service but it would have been nice to have it right on the phone and handy (understanding that there is a app out there if you jailbreak your iPhone).

Today, Google announced that there is now a Web-app for Google Voice. It uses HTML5 to create a really slick interface to the service which you can then bookmark or add to your homescreen (iPhone) or launcher (Palm OS). I’ve already downloaded it and run a few tests and so far it works great and as advertised.

You can get the app by heading over to http://m.google.com/voice and read the full write up on the Google Voice blog. I’ve included their brief video overview below for your enjoyment.

For those that use reQall and Evernote this news could not be better – reQall now and utilize Evernote.

If you’re like me you’re always on the look out for the next great thing to help you just Get Things Done (GTD) and for the last few weeks I’ve personally been working on using reQall more. I”ve always wanted a good task manager and it seems to fit the bill (I’ve been working with it off and on for quite a while) and with my purchase of an iPhone (you can read about that here) I can now carry my list with me all the time and manage it as needed via their app.

Now, while reQall is starting to handle my day-to-day tasks I still need a way to collect my thoughts, ideas, research and manage projects. For this I’ve recently returned to Evernote. Evernote is a great program which does all that while allowing me to tag items, post pictures – which they OCR – and best of all access it from my phone, yes, there’s an app for it as well.

I could put my projects into Evernote, tasks in reQall and things were looking good but about a week ago an event occured that caused me to upgrade my reQall account to their Pro version – I believe this is the first time I’ve upgraded a software service – reQall can now access my Evernote notes.

It’s great – I can now review my projects in Evernote and place the next actions in reQall (with place context which is allowed with my Pro account). Ok, I realize that I could do that before (minus the context) but now I can hit the ‘related items’ button on the task information screen on my iPhone and those items in Evernote that may be related are displayed. The accuracy goes up with proper tagging and titling and so far I’ve been very pleased.

Is this a GTD system that will work for all? I’m not sure and my personal experimentation with this system is still early on but for the low cost of a reQall upgrade ($25 a year) and my existing free Evernote account it’s been a boon to my daily productivity.

Do you use reQall or Evernote? Both? I’d love to hear how you use them.
