This month, MacFormat has teamed up with Marketcircle, to offer one lucky reader the chance to take home a brand new iPhone, complete with Marketcircle’s powerful Daylite Productivity Suite. Two runners-up will also receive a single-user licenced copy of the software.

Designed for the needs of Mac-based business workgroups of up to 50 people, Daylite Productivity Suite is Marketcircle’s award-winning productivity management software that brings business productivity to the iPhone. From identifying and qualifying opportunities to the delivery of projects, Daylite is a powerful resource for tracking and managing business activities and outcomes via shared calendars, project schedules, meetings, contacts and email. With Daylite Productivity Suite, anyone can delegate appointments – even meetings – and share business contacts between Macs and iPhones or other handheld devices, including the iPod touch.

Daylite recently added more than 300 contextual help articles via Apple Help designed to expose little-known, but powerful Daylite features to more users, and to simplify the getting started process for new users. In addition, more than 100 enhancements, including support for international time zones are offered. A new multi-user trash system enables everyone in a Daylite workgroup to review or re-instate trashed items no matter who deleted them or how. Exporting now includes tab delimited as well as .csv formats, and Daylite ensures powerful offline sync capabilities as well. With Daylite you can work where you want, when you want.

Ashley Highfield, Director of BBC Future Media And Technology, has hinted in his blog that we could see the BBC partnering with Apple now that iTunes supports movie rentals to get the BBC iPlayer "onto this platform too". That would be great, but I worry he's just thinking out loud, and that they've not even entered into talks about this...

From Steve Jobs’ recent Keynote performance at Macworld I think Apple’s obsession with ever-thinner Macs and iPods seems to have transferred to Apple’s mercurial CEO himself. He was looking scrawnier than we’ve ever seen him before as he announced Apple’s (and the world’s) thinnest ever laptop – the new MacBook Air.

Jobs might have looked a little on the slender side, but he certainly wasn’t frail – strutting the boards with the confidence and self assuredness of a CEO still at the top of his game, joking with the crowd, getting excited about the technology and casually introducing the CEO’s of Intel and 20th Centaury Fox to join him on stage, but never letting them steal the limelight.

As keynotes go it was an average one. It was always going to be impossible for Jobs to top the excitement of last year’s iPhone, but all the elements of a decent keynote were there. We got a nice new gadget – Time Capsule for doing wireless Time Machine backups, Apple pushed the boundaries again with iTunes and movie rentals (although we have to wait until some time in 2008 to get those in the UK), some amazing free upgrades – Apple TV and iPhone, and one paid-for update – the iPod touch. And finally we had the essential must-have Apple product – the MacBook Air - to fill the ‘One more thing...’ slot, even if he didn’t actually announce it with his customary ‘One more thing…’ intro.

There was no new software to talk of and iPod owners may have been disappointed that there weren’t any new designs on offer, but they’ve been more than spoiled in recent months.

Let us know what you thought of the new products and the Keynote in the comments section below.
