We just acquired our first iPad. It’s here, it has that gorgeous screen as expected, and it feels great. And for the next few weeks, we’re going to start converting our portfolio photos to a perfect size for this device, and we’re going to try reducing the number of things to carry when we’re out for a meeting. This is gonna be great. Below are the mandatory unboxing photos.

After the two-week approval process from Apple, we finally got our infolalulintas.com’s iPhone app a go, and it is now available for a free download in the iTunes Store.

If you’re an infolalulintas.com user and also an iPhone/iPod Touch user, click here to go to the iTunes Store and download a copy today!

The team have been busy this month perfecting on the upcoming infolalulintas.com iPhone app. Hopefully once we’re done squashing the bugs and quirks, we will be able to have it submitted to the App Store and have it available for download for free by next month.

As the main feature of the app, it will include a simplified and dedicated Twitter-based update tool that allows you to directly select your city and entering the traffic update without having to follow the specific formats that is required when you do the update from a regular Twitter client or mobile website. It allows you to get live traffic reports from other infolalulintas.com users, even if you’re not a Twitter user.

In the mean time, here are the production screenshots on what it’s going to be. As far as I can tell right now, this would make it a lot easier for you infolalulintas.com users to update from your iPhones.

It’s been a few months since I had my workstation upgraded to the 24″ iMac, and since it’s been a few months, dust has been accumulating as well behind the glass screen cover. The glass screen cover, although I personally think it’s good, has its own flaws as well. That gap is a major issue, since it allowed dust to get in and stay there. Luckily, the cover is held by magnets that are easily detached, so we can clean the screen ourselves without having to take the iMac to a current Apple service center.

A while ago, we also got a good deal on a Belkin Pure AV Display Cleaning Kit. Not that we’re promoting Belkin or anything, but trust me, since it’s a low viscosity gel, it won’t drip when you sprayed it on your display, and it comes with its own micro-fiber cleaning cloth. So when it goes to cleaning the displays in our office in general, this always comes in handy.

But how do I clean my iMac’s actual LCD? That’s the reason why I also managed to get these items:

A regular household gloves pack (I prefer those surgical latex gloves, but I can’t seem to find a store that sells them in packs), and a reliable suction cup, preferably with a locking mechanism to make sure that it sucks on a surface perfectly. Why would I get those? Those are the tools I used to safely remove the glass cover and clean the LCD. I found the technique by watching this video I stumbled upon in YouTube:

Pretty neat, huh? And I’m always happy when my workstation is sleek and clean. To me, it gives a morale boost to work until the end of the day.
