Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

Xslimmer is a revolutionary application for recovering disk space by removing parts of an application that you do not need. I was able to save over 4 GB on my hard drive by running Xslimmer, and everything works great now. It works by removing two simple parts, unneeded languages and unnecessary code from Universal Binaries for applications that run both on PowerPC and Intel Macs. Xslimmer determines if you are on a PowerPC or Intel Mac and removes the binary that you do not need. It also removes languages that are unneeded, ones that you do not speak or commonly use.
Interface - 8/10 - The interface is very simple yet effective, with a basic toolbar, a search, and some more controls a long the bottom, it allows you to quickly learn how to use the application, and accomplish the task of removing unneeded parts of the applications very easily. I think that the interface could be better for a more focused view when there is only one application dragged into the window.
Features - 6/10 - The feature set is quite limited in my opinion, it does only what it is said to do, and nothing more. There are a few useful features such as backing up, allowing you to slim the application, make sure it works normally and then delete the backup, but in my opinion, this should be more greatly presented to the user rather than needed to dig through the menus and preferences to find it.
Here are some examples of the savings by using Xslimmer, from the Xslimmer Website:
Xslimmer sells for $11.95, check it out.
