MJCP talks with Alykhan Jetha (AJ), the CEO of marketcircle, developer of business software for the Mac and iPhone. Topics covered include CRM, the growth of the Mac as a business platform, developing for the Mac versus Windows, online services, the iPhone versus BlackBerry and other smartphones. Plus, why dealing with the App Store is like being in a cage with a bear. You'll just have to listen to find out what that means.

Plus: MJCP's rant about the Apple TV remote.

Downloading now and looking forward to listening on my trip back home tomorrow morning.

(Matthew, you should receive that "spare" remote for the Apple TV in your mail today - sent Express Post from Melbourne on Saturday.)

So have got Gazza's remote and restored your AppleTV yet?

When you've finished, get some velco and stick the remote to the back of your TV cabinet, you'll never loose it again.

It hasn't arrived yet unfortunately. There was an Express Post delivery, but it was just a digital camera -- pfft!

And yes, I'll be taking steps to ensure this one doesn't get lost.

Wow, my post actually got through. The forum died after I hit "Submit Reply".

BTW, the forum is a little slow this morning. You on dial-up or something?

I was going to offer the same thing! I have a spare too. I hardly use the Apple remote but still I feel myself compelled to buy one of the new remotes...

That was interesting to listen to AJ. we use DL and it was the reason we were able to switch. We were battling Norton's virus for months and the the designer was laughing at us.

Finally the owner said that if we could find an equivalent for Act! we could switch.

DL Touch has been a great addition to the suite because it let's us be on the road and not have to drag out the laptop to lug around. Plus if the VPN is down you can't synch the Offline db to get the updates from the office. The DL Touch app synchs with the office version of the db so you are always up to date.

I just wish there was a simpler way to synch conatcs and calendars with Mail and iCal and MobileMe so my wife can see where I'm going to be and why I'm late for dinner again!
