Speaking of Evernote, the company had some big announcements today. While I’m not sure I want green elephant socks, an integrated ScanSnap scanner sounds pretty sweet.

Apple TV Gains New Setup Tool⇢
Well, this is magic.
Clearly We Have a Problem
For the iOS 7 launch, Realmac Software announced Clear for iOS 7, a new, universal, paid app that was to serve as an update to Clear for iPhone, the firm’s highly-praised to-do list app.
As the App Stores don’t have a paid update mechanism, many developers toil away, updating apps for free, forever. Many developers took iOS 7 as an opportunity to drop support for legacy versions of iOS 7, give their app a visual overhaul and charge again for it.

Bob Crawford’s new PSA for the National Brain Tumor Society is a tear-jerker.
RSS Sponsor: Igloo⇢
Stop waiting for your IT department to move off SharePoint and start using an intranet you’ll actually like. Igloo is free to use with your team, it’s built around easy to use apps like blogging and file sharing, and it has social tools built right in to help you get work done.
It works on your desktop, your tablet and your phone. Inside or outside of your office. With your team or with your customers. Igloo is 100% white label, so you can make it look like your brand (with your developers or our in-house design and services team).
Apple Refreshes iMac Line⇢
While I’m not surprised to see iMacs with better SSDs, Haswell chips and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, I’m a little surprised Apple didn’t hold these for the release of OS X Mavericks. Generally, Apple doesn’t release new hardware right before an OS X release.
October is going to be crazy. We still haven’t seen Mavericks released, let alone the new Mac Pro or the rumored updated MacBook Pros with Retina display and refreshed iPads.
App Brings ‘iMessage Chat’ to Android⇢
An Android app that probably hijacks your messages, routes them through a Mac mini somewhere and spoofs your account to Apple’s iMessage service? Yeah, there are no problems with the Play Store.
On the Buran⇢
Did you know that the USSR built a knock-off space shuttle in the 1980s? I didn’t.
‘Because Podcasts Are Awesome’
While I’m not at XOXO this year, my Twitter stream blew up yesterday afternoon when Marco Arment took the stage to announce Overcast, his new podcast app and service.
In his presentation, Marco flashed this slide:

I couldn’t agree more. 1 The Prompt is my third podcast endeavor, and I finally have a show that’s a success. While my co-hosts deserve more credit than I do, The Prompt is a huge success.

The Apple PR Machine:
Apple today announced it has sold a record-breaking nine million new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones on September 20. In addition, more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software upgrade in history.
Don’t miss Federico’s graph of all first-weekend iPhone sales. It’s crazy.
