- Middleman Syncs Virtually Any Device with iTunes on a Mac Mac only: iPods are great, but if you want to sync your music with another device-like a Sansa Clip or an Android phone-iTunes doesn't exactly have your back. Middleman is a free service for iTunes that syncs a playlist of your choice with any USB mass storage device.
- GIMP Updates with a New Interface, Layer Groups, and More Windows/Linux: The free image editing tool GIMP has received a big update to version 2.8 that includes an overhaul to the interface and makes it a bit easier to use and navigate windows. It also comes packed with a bunch of bug fixes, a new layer groups option, and new dock window management.
- Track 8 Is a Beautiful, Metro-Inspired Music Player for the iPad iOS: The stock music player in iOS is functional, but it definitely has room for improvement, especially in the looks department. Track 8 is an alternative player that may take a few design cues from Metro UI, but still manages to be elegant, attractive, and fun to use.
- NotifierPro Adds Prettier, More Informative Banner Notifications to Android Android: Android's notification system is awesome, but I sometimes wish I didn't have to look so closely at the menu bar to see the details of an incoming notification. NotifierPro adds large, customizable, detailed banner menus to Android so you can see exactly who is emailing you (and what it's about).
- Flipboard for Android Is (Unofficially) Available, Looks Just As Great As Its iOS Sibling Android: Android users eager to get their hands on Flipboard, the beautiful, tile-based digital "magazine" we all know and love were told the app would launch exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy S III when it hits markets later this month. Now, thanks to one enterprising member over at the XDA forums, an unofficial build of Flipboard for Android is available to all, and it looks great.
- CloudOn Puts Microsoft Office on Android Tablets for Free Android: CloudOn, previously introduced for the iPad, gives Android tablet owners a fully-functioning version of Microsoft Office and saves your documents to Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box. Now you can create, edit, and share Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files wherever you may be.
- Dashboard X Adds Live Homescreen Widgets to Your iPhone iOS (Jailbroken): If you've ever wanted Android-esque widgets on your iPhone, Dashboard X is a new tweak for jailbroken iPhones that allows you to add widgets created for Notification Center anywhere on your home screen.
- Evernote for iOS and Mac Updates with New Card View, Notes Editor, Audio Recorder, and More iOS/Mac: The iOS and Mac clients for the note taking service Evernote have both received updates with a few interface changes and new features. The Mac version get an entirely new Card View alongside some tweaks while the iOS version gets an upgrade to the note editor.
- Promodoro for iPhone Is a Simple, Flexible Pomodoro Timer that Tracks Your Productivity iOS: If you're still on the hunt for the perfect Pomodoro app to keep you on-task and productive while you work, Pomodoro for iPhone is a simple app that gets the job done, but also gives you the flexibility to customize how long your Pomodoros and breaks are.
- Sparrow+ Makes Sparrow Your Default Email Client on iOS, Adds Push Notifications for Free iOS (jailbroken): Sparrow is a fantastic mail client for iOS, but without push notifications and the ability to become your default client, it falls a little short. Jailbroken iOS users can add both of those features with the free Sparrow+ tweak.
