Leaflets for iPhone

ByMike Moffit

Leaflets is a web portal specially made for the iPhone. Some of them are just lists of web applications made specially for iPhone but some of them are more then that. Leaflets does not only contain a list of iPhone web applications but it also has links to Newsvine, an RSS reader, Flickr, Upcoming, Delicious, and The New York Times. If you sign up for an account (it’s free, so why not) you can save your login information for sites like Delicious, Flickr and Upcoming. Your RSS feeds also get saved when you have an account.

For some of the sites like Newsvine and Delicious, Leaflets uses it’s own “iPhone-friendly” layout. Everything seems to work nicely in either portrait and landscape modes though. The Flickr application pretty much has it’s own iPhone interface until you actually view photos, then you’re taken to the actual Flickr website.

I would love to see the ability to add and remove application icons to the home page. For example, I’d love to be able to remove the Flickr button and replace it with the Digg application button.

Overall this is a neat little web portal that pulls together popular websites and specially made iPhone applications all to one place for you. Having the RSS reader is a great little addition too.

Visit Leaflets on your iPhone!

  • What Is the Archive Utility?

    A long-time Small Dog customer asked me about an item that fleetingly appeared in his dock. It was a generic-looking green icon with a zipper on it called Archive Utility, and when he used Spotlight to search for it, it was nowhere to be found.

    Many of the items you download and receive in your email are compressed files. File compression is nothing new, and is exactly what you think it is: when you compress a file, you make it smaller. This reduces bandwidth loads and expenses on the server side, and can help you save disk space on your computer. However, compressed files cannot be directly accessed; they must first be decompressed.

    Back in the days of twenty megabyte hard drives (my LC II had a 20 megabyte drive in the early nineties), file compression seemed more relevant for conservation of hard disk space. These days, it’s more often used to shrink email attachments and other downloads. Mac OS X always included a built-in compressor and decompressor. By right-clicking on any file or folder in the Finder and selecting “Compress” from the contextual (pop-down) menu, your Mac will create an archive in zip format.

    When you open a compressed file, Mac OS X launches an application called Archive Utility. Its sole purpose is to compress and decompress files. It’s located in /System/Library/CoreServices, and Spotlight doesn’t search there. If you poke around the /System/Library and /Library areas of your hard drive, there’s plenty to learn if you Google intelligently and use extreme caution when moving or deleting anything. Actually–don’t move or delete anything. Just explore and learn!
