MDB viewer for MacOSX
I just found out about one of the most useful Mac applications, that I have seen in a long time: with MDB viewer for MacOSX you can open Microsoft Access databases and export the data into CSV files. No more fighting around with .mdb files in virtual Windows machines! Highly recommended!

VMware Fusion 4.1
Vmware released VMware Fusion 4 and an update to 4.1, which allowed to virtualize the client versins of MacOSX 10.5 and 10.6. The newest update to 4.1.1 corrects this feature/bug, so if you need to virtualize client versions of MacOSX 10.5 and/or 10.6, you should stick to VMware Fusion 4.1.

TextExpander
TextExpander saves you countless keystrokes with customized abbreviations for your frequently-used text strings and images. Available for MacOSX and iOS3 and up. Given the current feature set of the iOS, TextExpander touch cannot work in the background (as it does in MacOSX), expanding text snippets while you work in other apps, except for apps with TextExpander-integration built-in. You must first compose your text in the TextExpander touch Compose screen, and then transfer it to another app.

Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung started to sell the Samsung Galaxy Note, a mobile phone/tablet with 1280*800 pixels 5.3" display, microSD slot (compatible with 64GB microSDXC!), WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, RDS-FM-radio and a pen. There are models in dark blue and white, with 16 or 32GB internal flash memory, with or without NFC, with or without LTE and even a model for Korea with built in DMB TV tuner. VNC and RDC sessions on this device are just amazing and some clever programmers already ported the Einstein NewtonOS emulator to the Galaxy Note. This might be the device, that I have been waiting for since the cancelling of the Newton project at Apple. Absolutely the best device since the Newton 2100! Biggest wow-factor! Stunning! Highest recommendation! Right now it uses Android 2.3. An Android 4 update (Ice Cream Sandwich) is announced for Q1/2012.
