Extreme Agenda for iPad

With so many free or 99-cent apps available from all the app stores that focus on organization, calendaring and task management, it’s rare that you’d even give a second look at one that’s a $6.99 download.
But Extreme Agenda – Calendar, Contacts & Tasks is one such app, and it’s certainly one of the more robust organizational apps we’ve seen on any of the major platforms. Available in the Apple iTunes App Store for iPad, Extreme Agenda – Calendar, Contacts & Tasks was developed by Birdsoft LLC and provides a visually powerful, tile-based GUI that integrates all the essential organizational tools many will need.

PicSay for Android

Given the ever-increasing quality lenses and photo capabilities built into tablet and smart phones, the ability to clean photos up and edit them on the fly is becoming more important over time and an important consideration.
PicSay for Android, a free download from the Android Market, is one such app that can provide enough basics to clean a photograph up for use in a number of different scenarios. While it lacks some of the more robust features of Photoshop, or even its mobile version, PS Express, PicSay for Android is a great compliment for Google’s Picasa photo service. If you use Picasa and an Android device, PicSay is worth consideration.

Skype iPhone, iPod Touch App Has Security Hole

Skype is working to fix a security hole in its iOS app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows a hacker to steal a person’s entire address book. The vulnerability, located in the app’s chat message window, can be exploited with JavaScript code. It was pointed out by security researcher Phil Purviance of AppSec.
“Skype uses a locally stored HTML file to display chat messages from other Skype users, but it fails to properly encode the incoming user’s ‘Full Name,’ allowing an attacker to craft malicious JavaScript code that runs when the victim views the message,” Purviance wrote on his blog.

[b]MobileMe users: Your iOS 5 (iCloud) upgrade could be tricky

Upgrading to iOS5 but already have a MobileMe account? Don’t be too tap happy during the setup process.[/b]

I’ve never been a MobileMe user. So when I upgraded to iOS 5 the other day, I happily went along with the instructions on how to create a free account and never gave the experience another thought.
