How to sync your Android phone with iTunes

I've recently convinced a colleague at work to switch from his iPhone to the Android platform. His one caveat was that you could get hold of the same Applications, or at least Applications that would provide the same functionality.

Almost all the Applications he used we available on both platforms, the most process to replicate is synchronising your phone with iTunes. Obviously the iPhone does this out of the box, but how can you do this on the Android platform?

The answer is DoubleTwist a free Application that can manage synchronising removable disks with iTunes and Windows Media player.

Whilst being technical support for a family member I found the cause of one of his pc issues to be that he had used all the space on his primary hard drive, but had Gigs of free space on a secondary hard drive.

CSS 3 Rounded Corners Example

There was a very good presentation from Chris Mills from Opera http://twitter.com/chrisdavidmills where he touched on some of the new CSS 3 and HTML 5 functionality that some of the modern browsers are taking advantage of. I particularly liked some of the really simple, but visual CSS 3 changes, in this case rounded corners.

This article is a quick example of how to add rounded corner styling to your designs.

Here is a demo of CSS 3 rounded corners in action.

Twitter client roundup for Android phones

I've had my HTC Desire for a few months now, and I've been using half a dozen Twitter clients for most of that time. I've been switching between them periodically to compare the features sets. I'm running out of running system memory now, so I have to delete some of them (Where is Froyo!)

Here is my roundup of some of the Twitter clients I've been testing for the Android platform. I'm going to update this with more Apps as time passes. Seesmic, Peep and a few others will be added later. Similarly if there are any you know of that aren't listen please comment below!
