TiPb TV 6: iPad update gripes

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 11:05 AM PST

Apple has released iOS 4.2, a big update for the iPad and while it’s got a lot to love, we also managed to find some things to gripe about. These aren’t bugs, these are little lapses in functionality that we’d like Apple to fix, and they’re the topic for the sixth episode of our new video show, TiPb TV!

Rene and I go over folders foibles, App Store mishaps, and AirPlay disappointments. Maybe you haven’t updated yet, maybe you have, but either way watch along and let us know if you share our gripes, and if you have any of your own!

DataMan for iPhone – app review

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 08:05 AM PST


YouTube Link

DataMan for iPhone is a utility that allows you to monitor your data usage in a few unique ways that a lot of other data utilities don’t. The app not only monitors your network usage, it will also monitors your wifi usage. You can view your usage on a map and it will break out where you are using data and what kind of data you were using. For people who want to save a bit of cash and use a lower data plan, this may be an app you would want to check out.

iTunes Link

When you first launch DataMan, you’ll notice the app is dead simple to navigate through. The layout’s pretty intuitive and easy to use. You can enter your usage period (billing cycle) as well. For me, my usage cycle starts over on the 4th of every month, so I set it to begin on the 4th and end on the 3rd of the following month.

DataMan also allows you to set alerts for different usage levels as well. This way, the app will send you a push notification when you reach certain data usage levels. I also really like the map feature. It will link together all the different places you’ve used data. Not exactly a “needed” feature for most, but it’s certainly neat to see the trends and where you browse the most. The data will not only break up into a total amount, but into how much you’re using each day of the month. As you can see in the screenshot above, it also lets you know how much of that data is downstream and how much is upstream.

Some of my friends or family members are on 200MB plans with the iPhones and like to monitor their usage pretty closely. While AT&T allows you to check your data via text, their numbers are always a day to two days behind. Since DataMan monitors data as you use it, you’ll always know exactly how much data you’ve used in real time.

Pros

  • Layout is easy to figure out
  • Presents you with more information than most data monitoring applications
  • Mapping data usage is a creative way to view your usage

Cons

  • Sometimes push notifications don’t always come through, hopefully this is a bug that will be worked out in an update
