You're online. You're offline.

You're here. You're there.

And you need the right tech to help you no matter what stage of the research process you may be in currently.

So here's what I found that I thought might be useful in some way for researchers while I was out and about on the internet today. 

Maybe you can use it.

Maybe you can't.

But one thing is for sure.

You won't know until you look and try. =)

• From DVD to iMovie to Facebook by Christopher Breen on macworld.com ~ Do you have a family video on a DVD that you'd like to share with family and friends on Facebook AND do you have an iPhone? Then these step-by-step instructions should be able to help you out. {And with a little tweaking of the steps, you could just upload it to YouTube...}
• WhiteBoard Mojo for iPad by Alex Paul on iphonelife.com ~ Okay. This looks very cool. It's great for note-taking, presentations, etc. Wow. Take a look at Alex's review of this iPad app as well as his screenshots. This app has many potential uses in our genea-world, no? 
• The Flex Kit just may be the most versatile iPad case around! by Siva Om on iphonelife.com ~ Looking for a more durable and versatile iPad case? Look no further. This is it! Take a look at those photos of it in action.
• How to clear space in your iCloud storage –  by Rob Pegararo on USATODAY.com ~ Um, I think the title says it all. And? I think I'll be doing this since I'm too cheap to buy any more iCloud storage, and I'm sure I've got some stuff in my iCloud that I don't really need.
• SecureSafe.com ~ Okay. I don't remember how I found this site. All I know is it wasn't from a review. I stumbled upon it. And I'm so very glad I did. This, to me, is how cloud storage service should be. SecureSafe provides storage of files, provides password storage, allows for data inheritance, is iPhone, iPad, and Android compatible, and provides online banking-level document digital delivery service. But the most important of all? They're PCI-DSS (Data Security Standards) compliant through Acertigo.com. Additionally, they offer pricing plans from free to pro accounts. And I found a not-too-old review of the company on appstorm.net, and here's their Apple iTunes preview page with more reviews. So. Take a look at their site as well as their short informational video below:

From me:

• Also, take a look at a review I wrote today on the FineScanner iPhone app developed by ABBYY. I think it has a lot of potential for researchers.
