In this video I give a walkthrough of the first third party Buzz app for the iPhone, or any platform. This is a great application and a good step up from the web app, in my opinion.
Check out the App here

I hope you can hear the difference in audio quality between my previous USB headset and this microphone. It is available for $124, a $25 savings over the MSRP, from Amazon.

Check out this mic on Amazon

In this video I demo a great script that I wrote. This script when attached to a folder will convert any files dropped into it to a Microsoft office file or a PDF. This is very useful if you are away from you mac and need to send someone with only windows a document you have been working on. Download the script below and enjoy.

Download both scripts here

In this video I detail how to be notified when a new voicemail or SMS message is available in Google Voice via a push notification to your iPhone. Additionally hitting View or swiping to View will open the Google Voice web app. This can allow you to use Google Voice as a free sms service and a free voicemail manager.

Here is the service I detail in the Video
