WordPerfect Viewer returns to LawBox, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog
If you have an iPad or iPhone, you know that your device cannot natively view WordPerfect files. (Yes, there are still plenty of folks in the legal community who use WordPerfect.)
There is an app for that — WPD Viewer — originally reviewed by Jeff Richardson in 2010. Created by LawBox, this app will let you view a WordPerfect document, but you cannot edit it. Regardless, you can cut and paste into a new document if you wish to edit it.
The folks at Corel liked the app so much that they bought the right to sell it. As of January 2014, the app has come back to LawBox. The founder of LawBox, Nicholas Zeltzer, has already updated the app for iOS7. One of the post’s commenters, Charles Jannace, added that the app connects directly with Dropbox.
Although this app does not give you a smooth transition from WordPerfect to Word or back again, it does give you a way to access and copy and paste a WordPerfect document. -CCE

Review: DkT — access PACER on the iPad and iPhone, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog
http://www.iphonejd.com/iphone_jd/2014/01/review-dkt-pacer.html
Jeff reviews a free app created by Matthew Zorn called “DkT.” In this post, Jeff leads you through the various steps to use this app. Because this is the first version, no doubt Matthew will tweak it as time goes by. Regardless of its minor flaws, if you practice in federal court, this is an incredibly useful tool for your iPad or iPhone. -CCE
If you ever practice in federal court, then using PACER is a part of your job. PACER websites typically let you select a mobile option so that you can access PACER on an iPad or an iPhone, but the experience isn’t ideal. You cannot save your username or password, it is difficult to manually enter case numbers, and every time you access a docket sheet or a document you have to pay to do so. Matthew Zorn, an attorney at a large New York law firm, decided to do something about that, so he spent nine months writing a useful and beautifully designed app that he calls DkT. The DkT app is free and can access PACER for federal appellate, district and bankruptcy courts.

101: Smart Phone Wars 2014: Apple vs. Android, by Nerino J. Petro Jr., Wisconsin Lawyer (with hat tip to Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog)
The IT techs I know swear by iPhones and iPads. Lawyer friends say Android is the way to go. Both have cool apps – more than I would probably ever need. My personal experience is limited to iPhones.
This article compares the top three phones: iPhone5s, Google LG Nexus 5, and Samsung Galaxy X4. Which one would you choose? -CCE

Review: iPhone 5s Dock — charge and hold your iPhone 5 or 5s, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog
Great deal for $29.99. CCE
If you work at a desk and you are looking for a useful accessory for your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s — or a gift for someone else who uses one — and if you don’t use a case with your iPhone, I’m a big fan of the iPhone 5s Dock made by Apple. Back in 2008, I reviewed the iPhone 3G Dock. In 2010 I reviewed the iPhone 4 Dock and the Apple Universal Dock. In September of 2013, Apple released its first dock with a Lightning connector, the iPhone 5s Dock. I bought it as soon as it came out and I’ve been using it for about two months. It works great with my iPhone 5s, and note that despite the name, it also works with the iPhone 5 since the two iPhones are the same size.

Review: Email by David Sparks — information and tips for getting the most out of email, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone, J.D.
An except from the original post:
The book includes general tips for working with emails, great strategies for reading, replying to and storing emails, an informative chapter on how email works and tips on fighting spam and email security. No matter what device you use for your email, all of that content is useful.
Sparks then goes deep into the Apple Mail app for the Mac, and this book will be most useful for folks who use a Mac and the built-in mail app. He also reviews many of the best programs for the Mac and apps for the iPhone/iPad that you can use to work with email, and devotes a chapter to Gmail.
