The biggest thing I have been missing from my iPod since moving to an Android phone is the ability to listen to podcasts at double speed. For podcasts I am using an application called Listen , from Google Labs, but it does not have a speed option, the way iPod does. I found a website this morning called PodShifter .  What this lets you do is paste the RSS feed of the podcasts you want into a textbox, and choose a speed (from 0.6x to 3.0x).  It gives you another feed, which can then be added to Google Reader 's Listen Subscription folder, and now I have all my podcasts at double speed.

So, I used iPhoto this morning. I wanted to upload two photo albums to Facebook. I first tried from Picasa, I downloaded a plugin that was supposed to do it, but it did not work. I used iPhoto and it was just click-click-done. The next album I wanted to try Picasa again.  The only way I could get it to work was to export the album, and then use Facebook web interface to upload it. iPhoto does include buttons to go straight to Facebook, and straight to Flickr, so it does have advantages, but I am sure better integration will come soon.
