A common struggle in having both an iPhone and a Mac is in exchanging information between the two devices. Many times, I’ll find something great while browsing on my Mac, only to have to email it to myself to read it on my Mac. Alternately, I’ve often found wanting to copy something I’m working on on my Mac to the iPhone’s clipboard, or vice versa.

The iPad is truly a magical device with a great browser, the power of iTunes, and thousands of apps delivered with the App Store, but does it really replace a laptop? The answer for me is no. I tend to want ways of getting back to my desktop to access applications that are not available on the iPad (Excel, Garage Band, Etc), but how?

For the most part, we oddly seem to use the default Apple apps: Safari, iTunes and oh yeah, Mail. In case you haven’t had the joy of firing up Outlook recently – it’s terrible.

Anyways, a couple days ago Sherman Dickman, one of the founders of Postbox Inc., sent us a sneak peak at their newest client, Postbox Express.

There are no shortage of Twitter clients out there. While quite a few people have their own personal favorites, we never shy away at the oppurtunity to look at a new competitor. Our personal favorite is the free rendition of TweetDeck because it works, especially allowing us to see tons of information about our evergrowing library of Twitter accounts. However, to our knowledge Tweetie remains the beloved favorite amongst hardcore Mac tweeters and we aren’t sure why: Tweetie’s UI is slick, but there is tons of improvement. How we came to that conclusion? We played around with Kiwi from YourHead.
