Motorola Milestone will get Android 2.2 update

Category Android
I just read on the official Motorola Europe Facebook page that the Motorola Milestone will be getting an update to FroYo. In Europe. In other parts of the world it has not yet been decided if the upgrade will be available or not. The Droid twin of the Milestone is (I believe) getting the FroYo upgrade right now.
The upgrade for Europe is scheduled to start rolling out by the end of the year (2010).
FroYo is Android version 2.2, and it is a very important update.
Most important (to me) is the inclusion of a Just In Time (JIT) compiler. This should have two major impacts on the Milestone experience: Longer battery life and speedier execution of apps. So you can both have more cake and you will be able to eat it too.
Here is a more xtensive list of what's new: Android 2.2 Platform Highlights.

Painless return from holidays with GTD

Category Getting Things Done
This week i started working after four great weeks of holidays in Provence, France. I had a lot of open projects and email-threads when I left, so coming back is always interesting.
It has been truly marvelous how easy it was to get back on track, and a lot of the credit goes to eProductivity - the Getting Things Done add-on for Lotus Notes.

When I came back from my long holiday I needed to do almost no work to get the overview of what was in progress and what needed to be followed up on. Because when I left everything had already been organized into Projects and Actions and especially the "Waiting for" Actions.
The Actions that I knew I needed to do when I came back had already been linked to Calendar entries.

An example:
When I came back I had an email in my inbox. It was from the helpdesk at a company that is developing a set of web services that we are integrating with. This is work in progress in both their and our end. The email asked me to please let them know if we had any still open issues with them; they were afraid that they had missed something because they are in the early stages of establishing their production environment and the helpdesk is also new.
It was so easy to answer that. I went to my "Waiting for" folder in my eP-enabled mail and looked for any lines that had to do with that project.
There were no open issues. Had there been any they would have been there as I always create "Waiting for" Actions when I open issues with external helpdesks.
Easy.

I have talked about eProductivity and the GTD way of working in these two reviews:

Braindump to Notes for Android - now with SSL

Category Android Getting Things Done
I have release a new version of Braindump to Notes - the Android GTD app. A major release.
New stuff since my last post is:
  • SSL support is now a feature. You will need to edit the Preferences to enabled SSL. Remember to edit the Port number.
  • Menu button available from both the New Note and the Saved notes tabs.
  • A log is available from the Context menu. This should be of help if you get issues with synchronization.  
  • Bug fixes. Including prevention of expiry of Domino authentication.

New release of Braindump to Notes for Android

Category Android Getting Things Done
I have just released a new version of BrainDump to Notes. Version 2.1 includes some important stuff IMHO.
BrainDump to Notes is an Android application that allows you to quickly get Stuff off your mind, an important part of the Getting Things Done methodology.
You can read more about it and see a demo from when I released version 1: BrainDump to Notes for Android - what is it?.

The new stuff is:
- A bug fix that hopefully removes Force close situations.
- An option for using voice input instead of typing. This of course requires a newer Android version (2.1 and up).
- Support for national characters.
- Support for deleting individual saved notes.

Here is a screen dump:
