I got 2 new iPhone apps recently and they solved 2 very dear issues of mine.
One was to be able to read the many txt and pdf files I have in a bunch of DVDs (labeled eBook Treasure) with scores of text encompassing a wide variety of topics ranging from Philosophy to Health and of course computer languages. It can be quite cumbersome to read txt files on a computer screen and on a phone it becomes all the more cumbersome… not to mention pdf files… adjusting the page width so that one can comfortably read takes away all the time. So I bought this iPhone app called GoodReader that lets you read big pdf files or txt files with reflow. The width of the text snugly fits across the screen. It even wraps within the screen and you can increase the font size. It costs only $0.99 and is worth it.
Second was having a GTD based system that could let me assemble new tasks in an inbox and then categorize further to projects/contexts and of course ‘next action’. There was Things for iPhone for $9.99 and I was about to buy it when I stumbled upon an app called EasyTask which did the needful. A free app with all the bells and whistles of a dedicated GTD app.
So hopefully I ll ‘get a lot of things done’ and ‘read all about it’
