Top Ten iPhone Apps for Busy Lawyers

In case you missed it last week, I posted my current top ten iPhone apps for lawyers on my other blog, Lawyer Success Tips, which is the companion blog to my book, The Busy Lawyer's Guide to Success: Essential Tips To Power Your Practice.

The ten (actually eleven because I just couldn't cut it down even one more) are part of my presentation with Jeff Richardson at ABA TECHSHOW next month entitled 60 iPhone Apps in 60 Minutes. Join us at ABA TECHSHOW for even more productive technology ideas for busy lawyers.

Follow the 2010 Winter Olympic Games with New iPhone App from NBC

The 2010 Winter Olympics begin tomorrow in Vancouver, British Columbia with the Opening Ceremonies including the lighting of the Olympic cauldron at 9pm EST.  NBC and AT&T have launched a helpful iPhone app to help keep track of all the events, results, information about teams and individual Olympians, and viewing location (TV broadcast, cable, Internet) of the events. There is even a social networking feed for athletes to share their thoughts during the 2-week Olympiad.

Available for free from the iTunes store.

Good luck to all the athletes, but GO USA!

How to Catch an iPhone Thief

Thanks to Jeff Richardson of the iPhoneJD blog for pointing me to this blog written by an iPhone owner who had his iPhone stolen on a plane, and then pieced together information using a variety of Internet tools and some chutspah to get it back. With the recent debate over the real security of the iPhone, it is nice to know there are tools to get it back, even if it does take some effort.

Outlook 2010: It's the Economy!

Well, I almost forgot I was interviewed for a story published in Lawyers USA in early January about the outlook for lawyers this year, but the story popped up on one of my Google Alerts.  Senior editor Nora Tooher spoke with several lawyers across the US to get a feel for what to expect in 2010. The forecast? Cloudy with a chance of gain. Love that headline, Nora!
