Cool Tools

Here is another set of useful online tools that I came across this past week. First - somewhat randomly, unusually for me by following a commercial link.

1. QIPIT - Online jpg scanning tool with email and fax capabilities. It allows taking a pic of a document, whiteboard, notes, etc and sending it, already scanned (color and b/w) to email or a fax number. This tool has proved to be really useful the same day. JPG has been emailed to copy@qipit.com with email of a friend who the doc was supposed to be delivered to. Qipit scanned it and delivered both to my friend and myself as a backup in PDF format. PDF files are also stored on the server. Check it out: www.qipit.com
2. ScanR. Similar alternative for mobile phones, which I have not tested yet: www.scanR.com

3. RDM++ - remote desktop via cell phone. I did not like the idea of third party server storing info about your computer, but that's their implementation (I might be wrong as I have not spent too much time on their website). I'd look for something else. Nevertheless, here's the link: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details/rdmhow
4. GMaps. Really cool mobile tool for your cell phone. That's what I was thining of building myself one of these days. I'll definitely come back to it later and check it out. http://www.getjar.com/products/6949/MobileGMaps
