TidBITS#941/18-Aug-08

It’s editor versus editor at TidBITS, as Adam and Glenn square off over Eye-Fi wireless SD memory cards, with Adam excoriating the Eye-Fi Share and Glenn waxing rhapsodic about its Eye-Fi Explore big brother. Also in digital photography, readers offer great suggestions for storing and protecting photos while traveling, in response to Adam’s article last week. In the news, Best Buy plans to sell the iPhone in the United States, becoming the only outlet other than AT&T and Apple; former Apple general counsel Nancy Heinen settles with the SEC over options backdating; and Microsoft releases security and performance updates to Office 2008 and Office 2004. In the Watchlist, we glance at releases of iPhone 2.0.2, Inquisitor 3.2, WireTap Anywhere 1.0.1, TextExpander 2.4, and Airfoil for Windows 2.6.
