Health & Diet Manager

Iambic’s Health and Diet Manager does everything from tracking health-related vitals (resting pulse, blood pressure, hours slept), calories consumed and calories expended, to helping users create an action plan for eating and exercising.

This update introduces support for centimeters, grams, etc. through the application (i.e. the metric system), thus making it much straightforward and easier to use for the non-US audience. In addition, various functionality refinements have been implemented to improve one-handed and smartphone usage. Iambic is currently running a 25% off Deal of the Week on Health and Diet Manager.

Remote control for smartphones

As the use of smartphones skyrockets, the need to centrally manage those devices is becoming apparent. Remote PC control provider LogMeIn has jumped in to satisfy that demand with a new Web-based remote control program for centrally managing smartphones.

The new LogMeIn Rescue Mobile software allows help desk technicians or other IT support personnel to take control of a user’s smartphone to remotely troubleshoot and resolve problems. The program, an evolution of LogMeIn’s existing remote control software, Rescue, is aimed at wireless carrier call centers, outsourcers and enterprise IT help desks that are beginning to look at the issue of managing smartphones.

Buyers snap up iPhones

Apple is banking that its new, do-everything phone with a touch-sensitive screen will become its third core business next to its moneymaking iPod music players and Macintosh computers.

The doors of East Coast Apple and AT&T stores opened promptly at 6 p.m. EDT with cheers from employees and eager customers. Stores farther west followed suit as the clock struck 6 in each time zone. In San Francisco, customers sang “Auld Lang Syne” following a countdown, as if heralding a new era in telecommunications.

The handset’s price tag is $499 for a 4GB model and $599 for an 8GB version, on top of a minimum $59.99-a-month two-year service plan with AT&T, the phone’s exclusive carrier.

iPhone will betray you

The Free Software Foundation and its supporters describe the iPhone as a product crippled with proprietary software and digital restrictions.

The iPhone is Apple’s proprietary new combination music player, phone, email and Web surfing device, which starts at around $500 for the hardware alone. Eager consumers are already standing in line outside stores to be among the first to get one.

This is not the first time that the FSF and its supporters have targeted Apple. Last October, members of DefectiveByDesign.org, a campaign by the FSF, descended on flagship Apple stores in New York and London to protest the company’s embrace of DRM technology.

iPhone with Cellswapper

Millions of consumers want the iPhone and yet most are locked into an existing cell phone contract. According to the US Public Interest Research Group, nearly half of all US cellular phone customers would switch, or consider switching, their current service carrier if they did not have to pay an early termination penalty of up to $250.

Cellswapper.com offers cell phone subscribers a way out of their current contracts by finding others who are more than happy to take over the remainder of the contract as a short-term commitment. This leaves the subscriber contract-free and significantly lowers the cost of buying the iPhone.
