I want to get this (Maybe, but keep reading)! AT&T reception in general sucks (I used to be on Verizon). I get plenty of dropped calls, sometimes even standing still in one spot in mid conversation. Griffin is known for some of the best designed peripherals for the mac, iPod, iPhone, and other Apple products. I have the Elevator and seriously it’s one of the simplest, most elegant solutions you can get to raise your portable. I know it may seem trivial but having a dual monitor set-up I think it’s almost absolutely necessary.

OK, back to the ClearBoost. This is a hard case that has an integrated antenna built into, boosting your bars a bit in dim reception places. I do want this but, and there’s always a but…because it is a signal booster case, it also comes with, yep you guessed it, an external antenna. I don’t have one to review because I’m not a fancy blogger nor some legit news outlet but judging from the pics over at iLounge, the antenna jets out at the top. Hello, it’s 2008. We don’t want nubs or antennas that stick out anymore. So there you have it. It’s a dealbreaker for me. However, if you have spotty reception, like antenna’s from ‘05, or just flat out enjoy absorbing radiation from the iPhone, this may possibly be the best case for the iPhone.

As of this blog post, this case is so fresh that I couldn’t find it on Griffin’s site so go hit up the iLounge link.

It’s been an awesome month so far. I’m falling behind on my posts but I promise I’ll get some fun stuff up soon. Here’s are some interesting things that happened so far and some things to look forward to:

I’ve been complaining about the lack of an RSS app for the iPhone. I know there are third party native apps and reader.mac.com but I don’t want to hack my phone and I don’t want to go to hit safari for my feeds. So what am I talking about? The Mail app actually handles RSS. Here’s how.I use mail host that supports POP & IMAP. I’ve been using POP for years and it just seemed easier to set up (which is totally not true. I was just lazy). Once I switched over to IMAP my folders started showing up which is great since I can file some email and rearrange them and what have you…. What I just noticed is my mail host also serves up RSS feeds and conveniently it showed up on my iPhone!

This is particularly significant to me since I use the subway and when I had my treo, I was able to read offline when there’s no internet connection. Now I can grab my feeds before I go underground and voila! Hope this little tip helps. Pass it around.

*UPDATE*. I wanted to clarify that the RSS is configured through my mail hosting company (webmail.us). Results may vary based on your mail provider.

I want to edit my docs on my iPhone and I know there are other solutions out there but what is most convenient for me is to be able to open up my GMail, open up my word doc attachment in Google Docs on my iPhone. Is it really that difficult?

The short answer is NO. I don’t understand it since I’m able to do that with my desktop. So I dug around a little bit and realized that opening as an attachment is available on Firefox (my default browser) and not Safari on my iPhone, AND my mac. Why is this feature disabled? If someone knows why, feel free to tell me.
