iPhone 2.2 beta 2

Look, we do not want to enter this time. Apple seeded new firmware for developers, it is not something that we all want to do at the end of history. Well, almost end of history. Version 2.2 beta 2 of the iPhone firmware might not let you copy and paste, type an e-mail in landscape mode, receiving a picture or video via MMS or receive notifications to push third applications … But you can look around in Google Maps street view now! Woo hoo! How useful functionality – we are so pleased to Cupertino is so focused on it as opposed to, say, the implementation of a system that will actually make a little third-party applications useful. Bravo guys. Giving iPhone users the ability to look around buildings and trees from random points in the country is far more important than the rest of the features we expect. Well, at least there are walking and public transport directions included in this release. Super, can not wait.

Microsoft and Iphone and So What ?

Microsoft Robbie Bach feigned a little yawn Apple iPhones 6.9 million figure in an interview with BusinessWeek, the other day. It was not particularly insulting of the product, but do not think the excessive number of long-term average. “Apple has a big launch of a new product, and they started to scale in many countries with a lot of new [wireless] operators. This quarter, RIM is having its grand launch, and one point, we have our big launch. We need to see where things normalize. “While this statement is encouraging for the fact that the semi-it implies that Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be issued at” some point “we ‘re not sure we collect what Robbie is made – 6.9 million one device seems to imply a little more “buzz launch.” Things quickly devolved when Bach began spouting about how the carriers want a balanced ecosystem. May that be true, but consumers are those who buy the phones, and if their RAZR buying habits are any indication, “ecosystem” is not their priority.

Microsoft Exec – 6.9 million iPhone 3Gs

In recent days, the Internet has been burned by news of the success the iPhone, AT & T who suffer because of profits, and all Apple gloaters Doin ‘they thang. Well, in other news, a more Microsoft to take a queue of Steve Ballmer and acting all unimpressed after having a bottle full of Haterade. Robbie Bach, who heads the Entertainment & Devices Division MS, which includes all WinMo devices, says that this kind of thing was predictable. “Apple has a big launch of a new product, and they started to scale in many countries with a lot of new [wireless] operators. This quarter, RIMM is having its big launch, and some point we have our big launch. We need to see where things normalize, “said Bach. This statement is more or less true, but how Apple Thunder fly and be a buzzkill, Robbie! Again, as Ballmer, Bach wrote that the iPhone is great and all, but WinMo is much more about the devices and much more varied and, apparently, people prefer to have an army on land options on a revolutionary (yes, we said , Put it on). Apple will continue its momentum? What Bach is forgetting that success is struck not only at any time, but at major global economic problems. People are bitchin ‘on gas prices, but still buy the iPhone en masse. Think about it. How many people have you seen who could not afford a ham sandwich Rockin’3 Gs iPhone? Exactly.

Magic Touch

 

My first encounter with Magic Touch has been “less than pleasant.”

After meeting many bugs on version 1.0 (most who crashed the program), I contacted the developers iMapl to see if I could test the demo update their version (Magic Touch 1.1) , Which will be available on the app store (until Apple ’s approval).

Although I do expect the iMapl (at least) fix many bugs plaguing the soft, I did not expect to surpass most applications photo on the Apple Store app (especially against their main rivals, which will be highlighted in this review).

Magic Touch (Le Bon)

In addition to being much more stable than the previous version, the first thing I really appreciated about 1.1 Magic Touch was the ability to reach portions of the image, instead of just the whole image .

For example, while their iPhone are many photo editing applications that can turn any photo into a color image into black and white, Magic Touch lets you specify certain areas, allowing you to focus on objects , Animals or people (which is ideal for blogs).

You can also Clone Stamp areas, giving you an “alternative 4th dimension” look (note: yes, it’s early in the morning, my / Look tired, less glasses).

Other features include refining capacity (or blur) sections, a question I will be very useful when taking pictures of friends (like many people do not want their faces shown online frown and governments on children under 13 being displayed without parental permission).

Although Magic Touch is a bit more complex compared to other photo editing applications, they provide a brief explanation of what each tool does publishing in the menus (which makes it a little more friendly).

Magic Touch (The Bad)

Although I did enjoy the new version of Magic Touch, I did encounter some Anoia.

The first was to decide after photo where you want to use, after selecting a tool for editing your image sometimes “to gray” (or what I call the “gray screen of remorse”).

Although the screen reloading back photo of your beloved, there is no way to continue publishing (a bug?), Forcing you to restart.

Another irritation was the inability to change in landscape mode, despite the fact that you can display your image in this framework (other applications or disable the landscape mode, or you can modify with the landscape) .

Last but not least, if a user is moving between too many editing tools too quickly, Magic Touch tendency to crash on you.

Aspiring Rival

Magic Touch has few competitors, the largest being photogenic, an iPhone App created by Omer Shoora.

While photogenic does not have the possibility to modify parts of an image, it does boast some features that lack of Magic Touch, the ability to harvest and easily add filters to an image not to mention the ability to insert text.

You can also add forms to images too, either in the form of bubbles of comic books, hearts, arrows and squares (and insert them too).

The best part is that all these characteristics can be done by either portrait to landscape mode, although not photogenic not able to take a picture within the APA (a common feature among the applications of photo editing).

Conclusion

Magic Touch is perhaps one of the three applications, I recommend purchasing for users about $ 5 (the other two applications being photogenic for $ 5 and Melter face is on sale now for 1 $).

Hopefully we will see the new Magic Touch to the Apple unveiled soon appstore, it is a cheaper alternative than Photoshop (which can cost up to $ 1000).

AppLoop

AppLoop is a small tool that is currently in beta, which will be RSS feeds and turn it into an iPhone Application.

iPhone Application Generator Demo AppLoop on Vimeo.

All it takes to install it is to add your feed, logo and the name of your blog, to provide a valid email address – choose the amount you want to charge for it (if any) and to submit to Apple App Store to await its approval. Everything is very simple and automated.

They give you statistics to see what the contents are displayed using the application. The application allows you to view your computer, save it for later and share them with friends.

The above video highlights new features to be added. The beta test is closed for now, but you can submit your blog details and an e-mail to include in future contributions.

SaiSuke

Unless you want your blog that looks like a failure whale, you must find ways of business for blogs in your life.

Google Calendar has been an asset for me (as far as programming is), but unless I got a strong signal for my iPhone, the Google Calendar web application has been totally useless (at least on AT & T).

Fortunately, I discovered an iPhone app called SaiSuke (Say Software), which allowes me to synchronize with Google Calendar (both directions) on the air without touching Outlook or iTunes.

Since the iPhone app is quite expensive (around $ 10), May you want to check the review below to decide whether this is good to soft skip lunch in a restaurant (and brown bagging just for a day).

The Good

One feature I really appreciated SaiSuke was the ability to easily create calendar events, and configure alerts. Like Google Calendar, you can choose to be notified by e-mail, SMS or a pop up (or even three).

I find this to be very useful for blogs as life can sometimes drown in your blog hobbies, and having a little reminder is an excellent way to maintain the momentum (especially during this political and financial tragedy we are all in life).

Another feature is the ability to share your calendar by SaiSuke, which is great for the group blogs with multiple authors (or even for those of you courage to share your calendar with the display of your readers).

 

Last (but not less) I appreciated the opportunity to settle my calendar week. Users are able to shorten your week from 7 days to 5 (just in case you want to avoid posting on the weekends) or even choose what day your blog week should start on (for example, as a Wednesday or Thursday instead of Sunday or Monday).

The Bad

While SaiSuke do a few powerful features, he had some trouble too.

The first was unable to create repeating events, which means that if you want to set up a calendar dedicated to blogs, you have to do from Google Calendar to the end, not SaiSuke.

 

 

To add more salt to the wound, the repetition of events created on Google Calendar are unalterably on SaiSuke, which means that I must change from my computer later if my schedule changes, instead of easily from my iPhone.

Last but not least, there is no SaiSuke in landscape mode, which means that those of you hands with basketball (like me) do not type in the layout which is the Portrait default for most applications iPhone.

No Aspiring rivals?

Although there are many power applications in the calendar app Apple store (like SmartTime the Left Coast Logic), most of them do not allow you to synchronize your data elsewhere (a Deal Breaker for me as the iPhone and your computer can still be damaged in a storm relief or worse, stolen).

Although there is another iPhone app called GooSync which SaiSuke May challenge in the future by the iPhone synchronize your calendar with Google Calendar, their app May never realize its potential as Steve Jobs did not fire Green for third party applications to connect to the iPhone calendar (and I suspect it never will).

Conclusion

SaiSuke is an interesting application, and is one of the many applications of time management that I use to help me blog.

Hopefully Saysoft examine not only the addition of landscape mode (for those who have no piano fingers), but also extended to other online calendars such as Yahoo Calendar and Zoho (not all blogger loves Google).

The iPhone finally owned, but still locked

It took just ten days of iPhone 3G availability until the iPhone Dev Team announced the release of its PwnageTool 2.0, which enables iPhone owners to jailbreak the device’s 2.0 firmware.

Pogo Stylus for the iPhone

 

 

The iPhone is the first touchscreen device that I felt comfortable with my finger to navigate. After all, the iPhone, that’s all you can use to control the device – right? Wrong, you can use a stylus. But this is not just a stylus, it must be designed

specifically for the iPhone, as Pogo Stylus ten One Design.

Secure Information Keeper for the iPhone

With almost infinite number of user names, passwords, web connection, bank accounts, credit card numbers, software licensing, and other / personal data to everyone ’s have these days to keep the digital age, I long ago turned to the security / manager encrypted passwords. It is the only way I can keep track of all electronic and accessibility of critical information I need to keep with me 24 / 7. Plus the fact, we must keep personal information safe with the constant threat of identity and cyber-theft, I do not see how people can live without (mobile and / or office) program like this.
