DEVONthink To Go

Posted on by

A new update for DEVONthink Pro just released with…. support for syncing to an iPad or iPhone. The new product DEVONthink To Go uses a wireless sync function, allowing you to selectively pick which parts of any particular database get moved to your iPad/iPhone. It also appears that data can be brought back from the iPad to the main database on your Mac. This really does change everything. Work up your case analysis (as posted here) and then take the necessary parts (or all of it) with you to the deposition, hearing or meeting. The app for iPad/iPhone has not yet hit the app store, but should be coming soon and will cost $14.99, a paltry fee for the ability to take your case analysis data on the go.

Awkward Breakup

A call came in the other day.

“Hey Pete, it’s Jerry.”

“Um…..”

“Jerry Raster… I used to work on the network and your computers at your office?”

“Oh! Hey Jerry, what’s up?”

“Well, I hadn’t heard from you in a long time and I was just wondering if I did something wrong last time, or maybe you found somebody else to work on your PCs….”

“Oh no no no. We switched to Mac.”

Long, awkward silence.

“So, um, yeah, since switching, we haven’t needed any tech support except for getting the Ricoh Copier/Scanner/Printer to play nice, but it’s on a lease so the vendor took care of that.”

“Oh. Mac?”

“Yeah.”

Long, awkward silence.

“Yeah, um, well okay. Talk to you later.”
