SOHO Organizer 7.0 (Mac OS X)

Not bad this time around  

Definitely better than earlier releases, except for Personal Organizer, of course. It's considerably faster too. Maybe they got it right this time, but needs more exploration to say that definitively. [alert admin]

VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1 (Mac OS X)

Non-functional junk  

I don't even know where to start. When clicking on an app to show info about it the VTPro just hangs, never showing the info and usually not even showing the path to the app on my own machine. And the 4.5.x version never contacts the server to update what I have on my machine. Then, last time I ran this it gave me screen after screen of the same app, and kept adding it more and more times. I really don't understand what's going on. This USED to work way back then... why did VT people mess around with it and make it progressively worse with each release? [alert admin]

Mac Pilot 2.5.2 (Mac OS X)

Here's what's new  

VT seems like they don't like to include "what's new" lately. Anyhow, according to Koingo's website: New Feature: Ability to change the global tooltip delay. Bug Fix: Fixed a couple more issues with the new registration engine. Bug Fix: Now properly sets the initial font from the field when setting the Font in the System panel. [alert admin]

Little Snitch 2.0.2 (Mac OS X)

DIFFERENT kernel panic with me  

Unlike people who are claiming it happens only in Leopard and only upon shutdown, it get a kernel panic during restart, and on Tiger, not Leopard. It would KP as the login window was loading and the only way around it was to boot in single user mode and delete the LittleSnitch kext in /System/Library/Extensions Booted up just fine after that, but I sure do miss LS. Seems very much to be caused by LS since it happened right after installing it and continued over several attempted restarts until I removed the kext. (MBP, 10.4.11) [alert admin]

AreaCodes 2.0.10 (Palm OS)

Great program, but no longer updated?  

VT says this was released on 2007-10-10... ha ha ha, VT does it again: this version was released back in 2005 and there have been no updates since. GREAT little program though. [alert admin]

SOHO Organizer 6.5.3 (Mac OS X)

VT people, this has been out for well over a month!  

Unfortunately, frequently we can't rely on the release date mentioned on VT. As for the software, it's a small incremental improvement, which is always welcome. I hope speed increases are on the way and their user forum brought back. It's getting there, but oh, so slowly. [alert admin]

Default Folder X 4.0 (Mac OS X)

Note this is a $15 upgrade from Default Folder 3  

Haven't tried V4 yet, but keep a copy of V3 around in case you don't want to upgrade since it is not a free upgrade. [alert admin]

YooZ 1.261 (Mac OS X)

Very nice!  

At least if you like statistics you'll get a thrill out of it. But, more usefully, I can go back to any day and help to reconstruct what I did that day. Has come in handy when I forgot to record a billable incident and need to remember the day and such, or what day I DID'T use mac, or even when I woke up on a particular day! The footprint is reasonable small and the log files surprisingly small. Note however the price is 10 euros, not to US Dollars, which is a considerable difference. [alert admin]

SOHO Organizer 6.5 (Mac OS X)

This one looks good!  

Hmm... something must be wrong. This one seems to work fine so far. :-) [alert admin]

iClip 4 (Mac OS X)

Nice concept; VERY useful; not great in other ways  

Let me say out front that I really find iClip useful. I use it often and like it. Sort of... Unfortunately, I can't keep any long-term clippings in it, because it often crashes with an "unexpected problem". Duh, I suspect most crashes are unexpected! (The console adds a helpful "error number: 0". Double duh.) When this happens the only solution is to throw away the clippings DB and start from scratch. I've done this so many times that I've quit expecting iClip to do anything fancier than to hold recent clipboard stuff. I, too, find version 4's GUI to be a large step backwards, but that's been discussed to death already. I sure wish an update was on the way to clean this up a bit. I can recommend it only if you don't take advantage of the extended features. [alert admin]

Great, but buggy  

I crash regularly. Sent a crash log, got an acknowledgment, followed shortly by a "we don't know but will investigate" and then I never heard back again. The current build is quite old, not universal and seems stagnant. I'd hardly call this good support.

Totally Frustrated  

I sync fine with dotmac. If Chronos told you it doesn't work due to some fault of Apple, I wish they would tell us under which circumstances that happens Again, it works great for me, but Chronos is not at all forthcoming about problems with their products.

Beta testing  

Well, if you have a serious drive problem to begin with, then what do you have to lose to try to fix it with a beta product? You're hosed already! And if you have a good backup and work with utilities for al iving, getting to know a product in beta puts you that much further ahead.

Go to www.bitpim.org  

Displays pictures for me with an LG6100. Seems about 100% identical to the windows version as far as I recall.
