Should Apple Skip the App Approval Process?
20 Nov 2009 | 8:00 amSince the birth of the App Store, there has been some very confusing app approvals. Apple approved applications that shouldn’t be approved (ie. Baby Shaker) but didn’t let other “non-threatening” apps make it through its walled garden. This random app approval process can be very frustrating, especially for developers who might spend considerable amounts of time developing an application and risk to see it denied. But what can a developer do against the almighty Apple dictator? Unfortunately, there is not much you can do. Apple clearly doesn’t care about… -
10 Tips Every iPhone User Should Know
19 Nov 2009 | 7:06 amEvery once in a while I get asked about how to do something dead simple on the iPhone, such as moving icons around. To most of us, this is very basic stuff, but not everyone knows everything about the iPhone, which is why I decided to write a post with 10 tips and tricks. Shake to Undo When you are writing an email or a note, you can shake your iPhone to undo what you just wrote. If you just deleted some text from the note or the email, you can also shake to undo and it will bring back the text you accidentally deleted. Note that this feature works for every application that allows you to… -
How to Use Your iPhone as a USB Drive
18 Nov 2009 | 7:40 amSure there are many applications in the App Store that allow you to use your iPhone as a mass storage device, but all of them require an internet connection to allow the data transfer to happen over wifi. To this date, there is no application approved by Apple that lets you use your iPhone as a USB flash drive, and that’s a shame because I’d like to be able to access my iPhone’s drive without having to be connected to the internet. Developer Dmytro came up with an interesting solution to this problem by creating the USB Drive application: USB Drive let you create one or more… -
Is iPhone Apps Piracy As Bad As They Say?
17 Nov 2009 | 7:19 amLately there has been quite a bit of discussion about iPhone applications piracy. An article on MobileCrunch mentions Beejive, for which apparently 80% of downloads are illegal (aka cracked versions). I want to share my views with you about this topic but first, I want to make things clear. I do not endorse app piracy (or any type of piracy for that matter). I believe developers deserve to get paid for their hard work. If I was a developer being ripped off, I would most likely complain too. This being said, if you’re a loyal reader of this blog, you know by now that I don’t care… -
“Why I Jailbroke My iPhone” From An Anti-Jailbreaker
16 Nov 2009 | 7:46 amI have to say I’m a very patient man. I tend to wait for products to come on sale rather than make a rash purchase. That’s also how I approach the iPhone. Instead of jailbreaking my iPhone 3G or buying workaround apps for functionality that will eventually be free, I am usually good at waiting. But, my patience with Apple reached a breaking point and I decided to jailbreak. The changes I made to my 16 GB iPhone 3G may seem small, but I now feel like I have a brand new phone! So, here are my reasons for jailbreaking: Customization – I’ve been told that…

ShopSavvy Prices and Locates Better Deals
20 Nov 2009 | 8:00 amAndroid/iPhone: ShopSavvy proved itself one of the most popular Android apps out of the gate, and it's easy to see why. Now on iPhones, the app lets you scan item barcodes, see who has it for less, and locate them. Beyond the simple price comparisons via barcode scanning, ShopSavvy saves a history of items you've looked at, and can send price alerts when items drop below the prices you've already seen and given a casual "Meh" to. It locates the stores nearby that have your items for less, and allows you to save items you've scanned to wish lists. In other words, it harnesses all the cool… -
DIY Cameraphone Zoom and Lighting Lens
19 Nov 2009 | 11:30 amIf the iPhone's zoom just isn't doing it for you, and you prefer a higher-quality optical zoom to lesser digital zoom apps, DIY web site Instructables details how to make a contraption that'll help you achieve just the frame you're looking for. While this particular how-to is built for an iPhone, the idea can be easily used (or adjusted) for any phone with a camera. For this project, you'll need a jar lid, a suction cup, and some old camera lenses—generally, if you're a camera buff, you may have some scrapped cameras around that you can steal these from. If you want to add a light… -

Apple Adds Some Transparency to App Store Approvals
12 Nov 2009 | 9:00 amThere's been a lot of controversy surrounding Apple and their practice regarding the iPhone App Store, like multiple app bannings (including the Google Voice fiasco), inconsistent rules, and a lack of communication with developers. A few days ago, Apple decided to take a step in the right direction concerning the latter point (albeit a small step), giving developers the ability to see the status of their submitted apps. When they log into the Dev Center, they can see if their app is "in review," "waiting for review," or "ready for sale," complete with a timestamp for when that status was… -

Flo TV Shown Off On The iPhone For Reasons Unknown
20 Nov 2009 | 10:32 amI get that this Flo TV iPhone demo is just a proof of concept. That's fine! I'm just a little confused as to what the concept is. Is it just what they're showing us? A Flo TV app, that requires some kind of accessory to tune into broadcasts? That's possible, but given how well the iPhone can stream video over 3G, it'd be a hard sell, even with Flo TV's cable-like channel selection. It would also help if said accessory wasn't larger than the actual iPhone. Or is it to foster excitement over the idea of native Flo TV hardware support in the iPhone, like in the HTC Imagio? Because that will… -
Sometimes, Dreams Come True

The last one just came in yesterday. It's not Voice Candy, but Voices looks as good, if not better: Retro tape recorder and microphone, cute icons, simple touch interface, and sharing via Twitter, Facebook, and eMail, so you can spook everyone with that infernal Reverse Voice effect. For $1, it's impossible to resist. [iTunes App Store—Thanks Juanlu and Lisa Bettany, who stars in the Voices' promo video] Now that I think about it,… -
These Two iPhone Apps Made Me Realize That My Love Life Sucks
19 Nov 2009 | 8:40 pmWhile trying out Stud/Dud and Single?, two romance-themed iPhone apps, I've realized that I've got a lousy relationship history. First I discovered that several ex-boyfriends were "duds," then that one was actually married...to his grandmother. I can't look anymore! Stud/Dud and Single? are pretty much public record search engines repackaged in a neat app format. There's not much to making a search with either aside from entering a name (and any details that help narrow down the query) and you'll get partial results on the iPhone and the rest emailed. But if you want, you can see video guides… -
Sign Documents on Your iPhone Through Zosh App
19 Nov 2009 | 1:00 pmEvery time I receive an emailed loan agreement for a product review, the process of signing it becomes a complete pain. I either have to print, sign and scan the document, or paste a signature in Photoshop. No more! Zosh is a $3 app that allows you to sign attached documents on your iPhone. Basically, you forward the emailed document to Zosh from the iPhone's mail app, then you open the Zosh app to sign it (plus you can add a date and stuff). Testing the app, the signing process actually work pretty well. Maybe the neatest component of the interface is that the signature line auto tracks your…

Geotagged tweets now alive in Stone Design's Twittelator Pro 3.3.1
20 Nov 2009 | 10:30 amFiled under: iPhone, App Store Twitter has flipped the switch on some new features, including geotagging of tweets and automatic retweeting. As a happy user of Stone Design's Twittelator Pro 3.3.1 [iTunes link], I was even more giddy when I found out that my favorite Twitter app already supports both of these features. The geotagging feature lets you optionally attach a latitude and longitude to your tweets. If you receive the tweet in Twittelator, you can tap on the sender's avatar icon to see the geotag and pull up a Google map of the location near where the tweet was sent. The app lets you… -

If I want to send someone a picture, I've got their email address; I'll just send them a picture. No big whoop. I do have some friends and colleagues who 'came up' on mainline camera phones and they gleefully pop pics back and forth via MMS.

Google revamps mobile Google News format
19 Nov 2009 | 7:00 pmFiled under: Internet, iPhone, iPod touchLike most "mobile versions" of websites, Google News was simplified for use on devices featuring what Steve Jobs once called "the baby Internet." Sadly, this simplified version also showed up by default on the iPhone, leading to an experience that was, to put it charitably, subpar. That's all changed now that Google has redesigned the mobile version of Google News for iPhone, Android, and Palm Pre users. The new mobile version is far more feature-rich than the old one and is more consistent in its appearance (i.e., it's almost indistinguishable from…

iGlowStickPro Wins Big from Apple Mistake
4 Nov 2009 | 7:39 pmAn otherwise unremarkable $0.99 app released today by iPhone developer Spielwerk has had a big win due to a mistake by Apple. The app iGlowStickPro is a simple glow-stick entertainment app and really had little to distinguish itself from the hundreds of other apps released this week…. until a mistake on Apple’s part positioned it as the #1 selling paid app in their top 100 list. (See image on right). These top 100 lists serve as a massive amount of advertising for developers who make that high, but iGlowStickPro’s positioning was simply an Apple glitch that was quickly… -
So, In-App Purchases ARE Reflected in Top Grossing Lists

I had a chance to speak with Bolt Creative’s Dave Castelnuovo in a Podcast the other day, and their Pocket God application recently included DLC. He was able to confirm that based on his sales numbers, the Top 100 Grossing definitely included these DLC purchases.

App Size and Success in Apple’s Top Lists
23 Sep 2009 | 1:30 pmThis particular data set was requested by Imangi Studios to try to answer the question if application size affects a developer’s chances in reaching the Top 100 lists in the App Store. I should warn you, however, that this data can’t actually answer that question, since correlation does not necessarily equal causation. The reason the 10MB cutoff is so important to developers it that Apple restricts over the air (EDGE, 3G) downloads to applications 10MB is certainly not a death sentence for an app. -

The HypnosEye Projector For iPhone
20 Nov 2009 | 5:51 pmIf the Sparkz Projector Dock is about modern design aesthetics, then the HypnosEye is all about being Retro. While the HypnosEy does project images from your iPhone or other devices to a big screen, it's not exactly a pocket projector in the true sense.HypnosEye doesn't make use of the video signal that a device emits, in fact it uses an extra special anti-glare mirror and lens to project images. What does that mean exactly? Simply put, it just magnifies your screen, so don't go expecting stellar video quality. -

Trillian brings impressive multi-network chat to the iPhone
20 Nov 2009 | 7:30 amFiled under: Social Software, iPhoneTrillian, the excellent all-purpose chat app we've loved for years on the PC, just made the leap to the iPhone. There are a lot of things to love about this pocket-sized version of Trillian, including its great-looking interface and its support for several different chat services. You'll need to sign up for a free Astra account if you don't already have one, but it's nice that Trilian's existing desktop users can just plug and play with no account setup required.

Minim (now on iPhone): the game so nice we've reviewed it thrice
19 Nov 2009 | 12:00 pmFiled under: Fun, Games, iPhone If you've been a Download Squad reader for a while, you've probably heard about the 3-D molecular puzzle game, Minim. I reviewed it back in May, and Jason reviewed it again in July (oops!). However, I've got my hands on the iPhone version now, and it's worlds better than the Flash one we played before. The object of Minim is to match up various numbered molecules until you clear the board. When you combine two of the same number, they form a single molecule that's one number greater. Eventually, you'll wind up with just one left, and you've won the level. The… -

Rumors: A Verizon iPhone in 2010
19 Nov 2009 | 9:08 amJudging from reader comments around the web, there are a lot of cellphone owners in America locked into Verizon contracts who would buy an iPhone in a minute if they didn’t have to switch carriers to get it (me included!). Verizon has made it pretty clear that it would cut a deal with Apple, were it not for a couple of impediments: 1) the contract that makes AT&T the iPhone’s exclusive U.S. carrier, and 2) the fact that Verizon’s network (based on CDMA2000 technology) is incompatible with Apple’s smartphone (which uses W-CDMA (UMTS)).

It may be the highest-rated mobile phone on CNET UK, rocking the pockets of half of our crack editorial team. It’s certainly the touchscreen face that launched a thousand apps.

20 Nov 2009 | 11:20 amWhen Google first mentioned ChromeOS, we figured it was their reaction to launching Android, then seeing Palm come out with webOS, and smacking their heads — they could have done that with V8! (What, too nerdy?) Lame JavaScript rendering engine jokes aside, the very traditional Android never really seemed like the OS Google should, or even wanted, to give to the world. ChromeOS does. (For those unfamiliar, when I guessed what it would be before the unveiling yesterday — Brin and Page booting Linux which then auto-started the WebKit-based Chrome browser — that wasn’t a… -

We gave a demo copy to our good friend Mr. Lee who did a lot of testing and had this to say: In reviewing and critiquing Snapture I needed to realize a few things. First, I needed to understand that a cell phone camera was not meant to be a replacement or the equal to a digital cameral. Second, I'm an old guy and don't like taking…

Fix The "Verifying iPhone" Issue In iTunes
20 Nov 2009 | 8:30 amI recently ran into an issue where my iPhone would take an inordinate amount of time to sync but I couldn't figure out why.

Multi-carrier iPhone in France doubles sales
20 Nov 2009 | 3:30 pmThe elimination of the iPhone's exclusivity to Orange in France has resulted in "more than double" the sales of the device and dealt a blow to the BlackBerry, according to research notes issued recently. Estimates from Bernstein, Strategy Analytics and others report twice as many iPhones being shipped in the summer quarter as in the spring due specifically to Apple's handset being readily available at Bouygues Telecom as well as SFR. That added exposure is thought to have directly impacted RIM as customers at the new carriers had a new, major alternative to the Blac... -

Random thoughts while on vacation

I've been trying to tweet when I can.I'm putting together a post on the upcoming Apple Tablet or whatever it's called. What's driving me insane is how the so-called "analysts" are convinced that the Tablet is meant to fill the "void" between the iPhone/touch and the entry level MacBook.

Touch Pets Dogs something to bark about

I don't do Mafia Wars or Farmville on Facebook and I've never had a tamagotchi.But I'm starting to get a little hooked (read: need more time in my day) on Touch Pets Dogs from ngmoco that recently appeared in the App Store.Basically, you take care of a dogs, but there's so much to do in this app and so many ways to interact that it's just fun.Word of caution right off the bat, though ... (don't worry, it's not bad) ... it's a system where you can download the free app but then you need to make in-app purchases for your dog. -

And with the news from Apple today that developers have created more than 100,000 apps for the App Store, there is something so simple missing from the experience that it boggles the mind.I call it a shopping list. You might call it a wish list. Some may call it a download queue. Whatever you call it, it would make shopping for apps so much easier.

iPhone to Verizon
8 Nov 2009 | 7:18 pmAlthough it is just a rumor, it has been floating around so it may be worth a mention. With all of these Droid commercials and "there's a map for that" stuff you would think that Apple and Verizon will never have a partnership, but the truth is there is a perfect transition here that could truly make sense. The "Droid Does" campaign was not a very good one for the argument, but if Verizon keeps pushing the fact that their network is much better and you should pick your network and then your phone we could see a perfect shift to the iPhone coming on to Verizon's network. We have always known… -
iPhone OS 3.1 kills Tethering Hack
11 Sep 2009 | 12:48 pmAT&T has yet to release a tethering option for iPhone owners, but there was at least a little hack that was discovered which would allow you to use tethering for free without jailbreaking or unlocking your iPhone. Unfortunately, as promised, the new firmware for the iPhone does break that hack so that you can no longer use your tethering to surf the web on the go. There are a few upgrades that may be worth the update; especially alongside the iTunes updates that you can now use in conjunction, but still the loss of tethering is a major bummer. Hopefully someone will find another easy way… -
Apple's New Snow Leopard
11 Sep 2009 | 12:38 pmSo now that Snow Leopard has been released and everyone has gotten a chance to get their copy it sounds like it is well worth the switch. Are you going to update your mac to Snow Leopard or are you going to wait for the next OS to make the upgrade? I have been anxiously awaiting the new OS especially since it has a lot of under the hood improvements that actually help with making your mac run more quickly. For a $30 upgrade cost it is not something that I think I can pass up. Sure I probably will not see much of a difference, but it is always good to keep as up to date as possible. Windows 7… -
Blogpress Review
9 Aug 2009 | 8:10 amAfter using Blogpress for a little while and having some experience with customer support I feel it is time for a full review. This iPhone app has a lot to offer for mobile bloggers and is really the top pick if you are looking for an app to do bloggng for a few different blogs.First ImpressionsThe app overall felt like a very solid one at first, but soon I found out that I was not able to connect to Wordpress. I have two main blogs; this one and Dave's Movie Reviews which is on Wordpress. I liked the Wordpress app, but it did not allow for placement and sizing of the photos. This was a must… -
Blogpress - iPhone App First Impressions
3 Aug 2009 | 1:41 pmI just purchased Blogpress for the iPhone so that I can do a little more mobile blogging. Mainly, I have been annoyed with the lack of a Google blogger iPhone app so I thought I would see what third party apps were available. Blogpress had the best reviews out of the apps I saw and it is supposed to work with a few blogging formats including the two that I use; Blogger and Wordpress. So far it is pretty good; although the main concern now is that I cannot get wordpress to work. I am hoping that the support ticket I sent in gets answered quickly and then I would probably give this app high…

In App Advertisements In The Near Future.
19 Nov 2009 | 8:43 pmIt is rumored that you might be seeing commercials when you boot up your favorite App Store apps! Imagine paying for Beejive only to have an unauthorized ad crammed down your throat everytime you open it to chat. AdMob, one of the larger mobile advertising companies, is said to be launching these “in app” advertisements very soon. It’s believed that you will be able to fast forward, or even skip the advertisements, but it still seems like more of a pain than it’s worth.

ATT Tries To Set The Record Straight On Verizon Ads.
16 Nov 2009 | 8:00 pmAT&T has had its fair share of ads attacking the iPhone or their own networks inadequacies. Now they have a rival ad that does both. Verizon has been releasing quite a few ads that try and break down AT&T’s lack of 3G coverage as opposed to their own to try and combat the decrease in sales because of iPhone fever. With one of their most recent ads they play on the iPhone’s “app for that” routine by discussing what “maps for that” they had, which did not strike AT&T’s fancy. AT&T decided to make a statement regarding… -
Apple’s Review Process Causes Facebook App Developer to Call It Quits!

But now the developer of one of the most popular apps, Facebook, has decided to leave iPhone development in search of “greener” less restrictive pastures. This is a statement made by Joe Hewitt, the developer of the Facebook App, regarding why he quit: “My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies.

Ikee, The First Worm Targeting Jailbroken iPhones, Has Been Reported!
8 Nov 2009 | 2:19 pmThere has been a new worm that is targeting specifically jailbroken iPhones reported in Australia today. The worm is named after its creator Ikee. The Ikee worm doesn’t seem to do anything harmful to the iPhone other than changing the wallpaper to the infamous Rick Astley just as an annoyance. While the worm is invasive and a nuisence I have to agree with the purpose it is driven by. It targets iPhones via SSH and spreads just like any worm would from iPhone to iPhone. But Ikee created this worm to point out how unsecure people are being… -

Like he says, it is somewhat like Tetris and Drop7, but his version has a feature thrown in that makes it a different game altogether. DropZap has squares of six different sizes as game pieces. As each piece comes up, we can drag and drop onto the column that we want to. When we do that, it causes all the squares below to drop one size, and also all the squares in the same row. All the sizes have different colors, and the smallest one… -

The main objective of the game is to add pieces in such a way that we are the first to surround the opponent’s Queen Bee. The game pieces are made up by other creatures, and each has got their own unique moves. I confess that reading the game rules overwhelmed me a little, but I guess the developers are… -

Worm Hits Jailbroken iPhones; Apple Plans Jailbreak Crackdown [del.icio.us]
11 Nov 2009 | 7:41 amA number of jailbroken iPhone owners in Australia have found their lock screen wallpaper replaced by Rick Astley, as the first real worm spreads itself around. That's just one more reason any jailbreaker should change their root password immediately. Meanwhile, PC World points out that Apple is looking to hire either a new or replacement leader for team working on boot-up, cryptography, partitioning, security threats, and other areas that seem to have a fairly strong anti-jailbreaking theme in common. -
Forget iPhone MMS, Share 100 Pictures In An Instant With Knocking [del.icio.us]
11 Nov 2009 | 7:40 amAs we were all painfully aware, it took AT&T forever to bring MMS to the iPhone. A new app has just been released that hopes to one-up it. Knocking, made by Pointy Heads Software, is basically a photo-sharing app on steroids. With it, you can pretty much instantaneously share up to 100 photos at once between two iPhones. This works by establishing a connection between the two phones, during which one user selects another user with the app and “knocks” the pictures over to them. The video below shows just how simple and fast this process is. Naturally, for this to work, both people… -

FaceCall Puts a Face to Contacts on iPhone’s Home Screen
20 Nov 2009 | 12:14 pmFaceCall, a new photo-based dialer for iPhone, is a neat enough concept. The app adds direct-dial photo icons to your home screen. And, unlike the scores of one-tap dialers in the past, FaceCall will add as many speed dial icons as you want. The dialing scheme works and while some might find it convenient, if your goal is to save time the app falls short for price. The purpose of FaceCall is to create photo icons on your home menu for one touch dialing (or emailing). I can see the benefit of having a photo icon stored amongst the apps on your iPhone home screen for frequently called or… -

Seems like an ideal helper if you’re on a multi-country cruise or visiting a foreign place for the first time and don’t know the language. Plus, you could ditch the conversion dictionary in certain instances and appear less “touristy.” Hearing the description, Babelshot appears, for all intents and purposes, to be the… -
Omini Stones: Fun and Frustration Rolled into One Strategic Puzzle
17 Nov 2009 | 6:34 pmIf you just look at the picture, Omini Stones might be mistaken for another drop in the popular match-three bucket. But that, dear AppCravers, is why you should never judge an app by it’s cover. Omini Stones is a different kind of puzzle altogether. The developers call it a “classic swap-and-match puzzle.” They may be right, but I’ve never played anything like it. Thankfully, the app includes a good video tutorial which explains how to play pretty quickly. Once I understood the details, the puzzle seemed like simple gameplay. Slide plain stones of contrasting colors… -
Cash Trails – Expense Tracker is Hot on the Trail of Where Your Money Goes
17 Nov 2009 | 11:49 amOver time, the App Store has grown exponentially with an array of personal finance utilities for tracking expenses and budgeting. I’ve always been a firm believer that it is difficult to find a one-size-fits-all expense tracker because of the different styles of budgeting and organizing expenses. Much to my surprise, Cash Trails – Expense Tracker, by Vasyl Smyrnov, is pretty close to a one-size-fits-all deal. With Cash Trails, users can easily add expense items with a single tap. Further customize your entries with the ability to assign groups, tags, and even make notes. Users can… -

Two new Take Control books on the iPhone
18 Nov 2009 | 10:05 pmI'm a big fan of the Take Control series of electronic books, published by Adam and Tonya Engst, the folks who run the excellent and long-running Macintosh newsletter TidBITS. Take Control books are published electronically as PDF files, which means that there is very little delay between when the book is finished and when it is published, and it also means that the books can be, and are, updated when new information comes along. Every Take Control book has a "Check for Updates" button on the first page of the PDF. Thus, while Take Control books are as comprehensive and… -
Google Scholar -- access free caselaw on your iPhone

Google is not the first to offer free caselaw research, but given Google's search expertise, this service has the potential to be huge.

Svenson got this information directly from Rick Klau, the Google employee who worked on this project as a part of the "do something interesting with 20% of… -

Review: iNDA -- create a quick and easy non-disclosure agreement on the iPhone
15 Nov 2009 | 10:49 pmWhen I discuss apps on iPhone J.D., I try to focus on apps that attorneys would find useful. Today, however, I want to instead discuss an app that attorneys themselves won't use but should know about because it is an app that provides an alternative to hiring an attorney. The app is iNDA. iNDA is a simple app that contains the text of a standard non-disclosure agreement (NDA). In short, you enter the names of the two parties, the person receiving the confidential information signs on the iPhone screen, and then the app e-mails everyone an agreement. The goal is to make it quick…

I’ve decided since they are just soo far out there that I should gather my top three into a short series before the weekend and let you all know about them. I’m not saying that I like or hate them, only that the idea behind the app is pretty senseless if not useless.

It’s about 1:15 in the morning here in the Midwest of the U.S. If you didn’t know I’m a full time student so for one it’s not strange to be up this late trying in vain to do homework and catch up on work. I’m very sleep deprived and have been for the past week. I missed 3 days of classes after my Great Grandma passed away. I decided it was worth the time to go home and be with family instead of keep up with school. I can always make up quizes and tests but not revisit my Grandma’s funeral.

The most interesting aspect about games being developed for the iPhone is how radically different they can be. One moment you could be playing an app someone made in their bedroom and five minutes later experiencing an entry with a serious amount of polish the PlayStation Portable would be proud of.

Just. You can start with either a blank canvas and create the city from scratch, or take up one of two conurbations that are already up and running. It makes sense to check out the tutorial first, because the icons can be anonymous and everything is controlled via them. The first step is creating zones, rather than actual houses, shops and factories. To paraphrase Field Of Dreams, if you zone…

With the heavy weight like China Mobile in picture which a year back had 634 million subscribers alone, China Unicom sure has a sizzler with the iPhone 3GS on sale exclusively in China at the moment. Apparently a dispute over the App Store revenues proved to be a deal breaker between China Mobile and Apple. However there is now a confirmation from China Mobile that they are still in talks with Apple and we can hope for the iPhone coming to their mass customer base sometime in the future. For the moment we hear that the… -
Rumors of a rumored Apple device being delayed: iTablet
19 Nov 2009 | 10:02 amApple rumors are amazing and it can’t get better. While I decided not to write about the Apple Tablet, until something real or OFFICIAL comes up – this is getting crazy. Every other day I still see something about the Apple Tablet on my Google Reader (guess the latest was something about high end graphics and multiple models) and today I am surprised that there are talks of the Tablet being delayed to the second half of 2010 as Apple wants a OLED display on the device. Where it really gets funny is this ‘OLED displays will get better pricing with LG launching its offerings… -
Windows Mobile 7: Early Hype
19 Nov 2009 | 9:26 amWhile Android, iPhone and others battle it out for smartphone dominance, it has been a tough period for Microsoft to keep manufacturers tied to Windows Mobile., which once used to be the premium OS for smartphones. Having used Windows on an XDA 1 around half decade back, I can tell you that there wasn’t really any competition back then. The game has changed dramatically since then. The recently released Windows Mobile 6.5 failed to impress our reviewers and the Android, WebOS from Palm and the iPhone are getting regular updates and positive reception. The recently announced Maemo 5… -
Digital Clock Lock widget on Lockscreen via Cydia
19 Nov 2009 | 2:59 amDigital Clock Lock is a widget which shows red digital clock on your lockscreen. It also changes the slide to unlock slider. You need to activate it through Winterboard. Once activated you will notice that your default clock and Digital Clock are overlapping, to avoid this you need to install ‘LockScreen Clock Hide’ tweak from cydia. This tweak will hide your default clock, which you can do by going to Settings after installing it. You will also notice that clock app icon is changed.

The iPhone is Basically as Important as President Obama
20 Nov 2009 | 2:02 pmThe list from the Webby Awards is out, and the 2007 introduction of the iPhone weighed in as one of the Top 10 Most Influential Moments of the Decade. Among the other moments were: the 2008 Presidential Campaign; the launch of America’s favorite research site, Wikipedia; and the launch of Google AdWords. Apparently they assembled their list before this hit the market. Now before you get all in arms about the presidential campaign being in the same list as Wikipedia, and the iPhone, we are talking about the most influential moments in a decade, the moments that actually affected our… -
Dual Unveils iPhone Docking In-dash Head Unit
20 Nov 2009 | 12:03 amDual, a car audio company that has offered crappy quality components budget minded components for car audio applications has debuted an in-dash unit that will support the iPhone, literally. It will feature an actual dock for your iPhone. I dunno folks, this sounds a little hokey to me. I don’t know that I want my iPhone hanging off of my “budget conscious” head unit, knowing that my phone cost about twice as much as that of the head unit. The XML8110 will retail for around $99.

I know it is going to be a stretch, but follow along with me. If you are looking for a way to customize your iPhone so that it doesn’t look like the three other iPhones that are sitting on the table at your favorite watering hole, but also want to be able to afford that third beer, I think Griffin might have the answer for you. They have a Co-Op program that has… -
AT&T Sues the Maps Off Verizon * UPDATE *
18 Nov 2009 | 10:22 pmA scuffle brews between the Jets and the Sharks… It seems as though AT&T is at odds with Verizon over their new ad campaign. If you have watched television at all in the last few weeks, I am sure that you have seen the new Verizon ads that have set their sites square between the eyes of AT&T’s sparse 3G coverage. They have caused a stir over at AT&T, and thusly a stir at AT&T’s lawyer’s offices as well. It seems as though AT&T has issued a complaint for temporary restraining order. Or “Stop it, or else!” for the layman. They are none too pleased… -

Ninja Assassin Review: Seppuku apparently not just for samurai
20 Nov 2009 | 8:30 pmNinja Assassin. Ninja. Assassin. I wonder which twit at Warner Bros. came up with that title. Ninjas are assassins; I can’t think of a more redundant title. But the assasinine problems don’t cease there. Does anyone recall the film Memoirs of a Geisha, the Hollywood debacle in which well-known Chinese actresses were cast in roles as Japanese geishas all speaking in English? Well, with Ninja Assassin they’re at it again, this time casting Korean megastar Rain in the role of the titular ninja assassin, one of many Japanese characters who will spend the film speaking in… -
Jet Car Stunts Review: Stumbles, Tumbles, and Rolls
20 Nov 2009 | 7:27 pmTrue Axis has released Jet Car Stunts for the iPhone, boasting of true 3D racing physics engine along with a bunch of other features that are sure to please. While the graphics are quite good, what about the game itself? The iPhone world has been on an uproar, giving it titles such as “the best game out there” and other irrational awards, and while Jet Car Stunts is a good game, it’s definitely far from being the best. Likes Graphics: Graphics are good, nice, and shiny. Nothing more to talk about here, and I really liked the look of the game. Sure, the 3D models look… -

Many people have mixed feelings about both, but which one is truly the best? With OpenFeint 2.1, the new user interface and features have catapulted it to one of the most sophisticated social platforms on the device.

Gameloft Up To No Good, Releases Videos for ‘Driver’ and ‘Skater Nation’
20 Nov 2009 | 5:19 pmWith December closing in on us, more and more games have been released at a rapid pace, and Gameloft doesn’t seem to be stopping its ongoing steam engine to get games onto the iPhone and iPod Touch. They have released videos for both Skater Nation and Driver, and while the video for Driver has no gameplay, it’s definitely worth watching. Driver was originally released back in 1999 for the PS1, and it was one of the more successful games on that console. Gameloft has also released a mobile port for the game, and they intend to bring this beauty next to the iPhone. The… -
Ravensword: The Fallen King Review: iPhone’s New Ruler
20 Nov 2009 | 4:30 pmThe RPG has had quite a good showing on the iPhone as of late. Gameloft’s solid Diablo-esque Dungeon Hunter has lead the genre in app store sales since its release in September while older dungeon crawlers like Underworlds and Zenonia and are still enjoying heathy revenues. These successes prove that well crafted RPGs are a much desired commodity for the adventuring iPhone gamer. So when Chillingo and Crescent Moon Games released screenshots of an upcoming open world RPG a few months ago, RPG fans like myself went into geek mode. After a few delays, the wait is now over.

iSniper 3D Review
20 Nov 2009 | 4:34 pmWhat do you do with a game you can't play? In all our years of gaming, iSniper 3D is one of the most spirit-deadeningly difficult games we've ever suffered through. It's not a Ninja Gaiden-like satisfying high difficulty level that makes you keep practicing and coming back for more. It's a cheap, game-breaking difficulty more like your mom unplugging your console as you're about to beat a boss. Thank you, iSniper 3D, for turning us into the very exclusive group of gamers who throw their gaming devices out of anger. The saddest thing is that iSniper 3D had great potential. In your mission to… -
JellyCar 2 Review
20 Nov 2009 | 3:58 pmThere are some games that have great concepts and tons of content but falter when it comes to controls. This is unfortunately the case with JellyCar 2. While there is enough material here to keep gamers busy for hours, the imperfect controls take most of the fun out of this title. JellyCar 2 is a game full of childish personality (in a good way). The hand-drawn sketch artwork and lighthearted soundtrack fit in perfectly with the overall theme. You can also customize your car’s shape and color to suit your personality. Don’t be fooled, though: this game is quite challenging and aimed at… -
Cheap Shot: Shot Bar
20 Nov 2009 | 1:58 pmWe think it's safe to say that a bartending game has drawn you in if you find yourself flirting with the game's bar patrons. We may even have said, "Ok honey, a shot of Jack and a shot of rum, now that's my kinda girl" out loud while playing this game. But that just illustrates how Shot Bar can use a little music, a couple of liquor bottles and a few drawings of cute girls to make you feel like you're the Don Juan of the bartending scene. It also makes you feel completely stressed when you're forgetting what said hot girls ordered and dropping bottles of vodka on the ground. It also made us… -

Touch Pets Dogs plays a great deal like Nintendogs, the 2005 pet sim title that launched the Nintendo DS's popularity into the stratosphere. Touch Pets Dogs doesn't quite compliment the iPhone the way Nintendogs pulled down the barrier between gamer and console with the DS's touch screen, but there is a lot to do, and a lot of fun to be had.

Community Building Vital for Success on iPhone, says PlayHaven CEO

That's the view of the CEO of PlayHaven, Raymond Lau, the company's co-founder telling us that the current system of gamers buying games off the App Store blocks out any sort of natural relationship between developer and consumer – a status quo his company has set out to smash up.“Having passionate fans is the…

Text Copying Workaround for iPhone Kindle

My one nagging complaint has been the inability to copy text that I can paste into note archives, email, tweets, etc. I came up with a kludgy, but useful workaround that seemed worth sharing: When you’re viewing the text you want to copy in the Kindle application, grab a screen copy by holding the “home” button and then hitting the “power/sleep” button. This will save an image of the screen to your Camera Roll. (Just for fun, the illustration below uses “Moral Panics…

You’re goal is to guide your nanomachine against the dangerous viruses that could kill your human. So instead of being in the space fighting… -

So if you have been searching for them, head on over to Canon’s whitepaper page. Just recently, they added a new whitepaper for the Canon 1D Mark IV.

How to fix MacOSX Migration Assistant clashing with Adobe CS3 and CS4
16 Nov 2009 | 12:02 pmAfter I rebuilt my Mac using the Migration Assistant, everything worked – with the exception of Adobe’s Creative Suite, CS3. Getting CS3 to work turned out to be a much bigger issue than I thought, with many hours spent digging through Adobe’s knowledgebase, their forums and on their phone. The same Migration Assistant issue exists for Adobe CS4 and can also be solved by using the steps outlined below. In general, the problem is as follows: If you use the MacOSX Migration Assistant to migrate to a new Mac or to rebuild an existing Mac, chances are very high that you will run… -
Mac OSX: Reinstall with Great Results
14 Nov 2009 | 11:34 pmAfter almost three years and two MacOSX upgrades, my MacBook Pro finally came to the point where I needed to do a re-install. Too many installs and uninstalls of programs and all these upgrades had left the Pro unstable with frequent hangs-ups. Being no stranger to re-installs (e.g., every year my XP systems get re-installed), I expected better than XP and got positively surprised. After doing one backup in addition to my regular Time Machine and Chronosync backups, I formatted the hard drive and did a fresh Snow Leopard install. During the install, I used the Migration Assistant to restore… -
OWLE: Strange shape, better iPhone videos
12 Nov 2009 | 2:30 pmRecently, a very interesting contraption was released: The OWLE Bubo, a video handle for the iPhone. If you shot video with the iPhone in the past, you most likely noticed that it is hard to shoot smooth and stable video. On major reason for that is the unnatural way you hold the iPhone while shooting video. The OWLE addresses this shortcoming by providing a handle that is held with both hands. In addition, by making the unit more hefty than the iPhone, it is adding to the stability of the device, and thus your iPhone videos. The OWLE Bubo is constructed of anodized billet aluminum. It… -
Ricoh GXR: Innovative, but too costly
11 Nov 2009 | 8:58 amOn the heels of Olympus announcing the E-P2 follows Ricoh’s announcement of another camera system: The GXR. Its claim to fame are removable lens modules, where the sensor, the processing unit and the lens are encased in one removable unit. Therefore, the camera itself contains only the LCD, the flash show, the battery and memory card compartment and connectors to the lens units. The advantages of such a modular system are obvious, but so are its disadvantages. By encasing the sensor with the lens, dust is no problem. The unit can be optimized for just one lens and thus made smaller…

C64 – iPhone App Review

Magellan Latest To Enter iPhone GPS Market
20 Nov 2009 | 4:33 amOne has to wonder what these top GPS manufacturers are thinking by resisting the temptation to enter the iPhone GPS market. It’s true that their business has been affected badly by the emergence of mobile GPS devices, and the hardware sales are not going as well as they used to. But it’s not as if these companies have a lot to lose by giving the software side of the business a look. Navigon is one of those companies that realized early on there was more money to be earned in the software side of things. That’s why it went back to its roots after a fairly short period of time… -
AT&T Still Mad At Verizon, Strikes back with ad
19 Nov 2009 | 4:30 amTalk about a bitter rivalry. AT&T and Verizon don’t seem to find a way to get along, and why should they? After all, they are competitors, and there is much at stake. Verizon has increasingly gone after Apple and AT&T in its ads to make it clear that Verizon is the best network around. AT&T first complained about it. Then launched a lawsuit. Verizon responded by inviting AT&T to improve its network. Unfortunately for AT&T, the lawsuit has not been as successful as it was hoped. So it’s no wonder the company has been looking for other ways to get even with… -

Withings WiFi Body Scale – WiFi Scale Meets iPhone
18 Nov 2009 | 4:34 amJust a few months ago, you would struggle to find too many companies that got the iPhone. We always have early adopters and innovators, but it usually takes time for companies (big or small) to adopt new technologies and use them to grow their business. But these days, more companies are starting to develop products that take advantage of the iPhone to provide value to consumers at home and on the go. Withings WiFi Body Scale is one of those products. I heard about Withings WiFi Body Scale a few days after it was announced. The concept was certainly interesting. A scale that can keep track of… -
Apple To Offer Free iPhone?
17 Nov 2009 | 4:29 amTalk about recession-friendly. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all get our iPhones for free? Apple has not announced such thing. But it’s interesting to look at one of the most recent Apple patent applications on forced advertising on consumer electronics. According to New York Times, Apple is exploring the idea of forced advertising on any device that has a screen, including laptops, cell phones, and even TVs. The technology can freeze the device until the user clicks a button or answers a test question to demonstrate that he or she has dutifully noticed the commercial message. Apple…

Adhoc installation issues on Windows PC
5 Nov 2009 | 9:12 amAs an iPhone developer I have lately been observing many errors while installing Adhoc builds on my testing/friends iPhones or iPodTouches. Many of them have been really hard to fix and some have just been “nothing but frustrating”. There was a case where what ever I did, did not work. Many attempts to install using iTunes after trying to change certificates, provisioning profiles have failed. Even the “iPhone Configuration Utility” failed to install the app. I had actually lost all hopes getting it installed on this device. But after a little prayer and just a little… -

Memory Issues in iPhone OS 3.0 : Sample Code
26 Aug 2009 | 4:23 amAs mentioned in a previous article by Rama Krishna the memory issues in iPhone OS 3.0 relating to UIImageView can be reproduced easily. And here is such a re-production. You can download the iPhone sample application and see for yourself what the problem is. Just open the project, build it for the device (not the simulator) and run it with Instruments (ObjectAlloc) to see a nice little upwards running ramp developing on screen. Oh!! but remember to run the app on iPhone OS 3.0 and not on iPhone OS 3.1 (the bug has apparently been patched for this version) Related PostsAugust 24, 2009 --…

Political Correctness on the Apple App Store?
10 Nov 2009 | 2:53 pmAccording to an article over at Mac Observer, Apple has struck down an application that must have been to politically incorrect for their taste. The app in question was illustrated by Tom Richmond who is a contributing artist for Mad magazine and has some really cute caricatures of every member of the U.S. Congress. Here is an excerpt from the Apple rejection: Thank you for submitting Bobble Rep – 111th Congress Edition to the App Store. We’ve reviewed Bobble Rep – 111th Congress Edition and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store… -
Apple App Store Reaches 100,000 Apps!
4 Nov 2009 | 12:54 pmiPhone application tracking service Apptism is reporting that the Apple App Store has officially reached the 100,000 App mark! This is a huge number considering that it was just September of this year that they reached 85,000. As a note, most are predicting that by mid 2010 the App Store will have over 200,000 Apps available for purchase. Although that may be the case, the App Store is in dire need of a major overhaul. Primarily a better system for searching and organizing the Apps. Having this kind of phenomenal growth means Apple needs to do something sooner rather than later about… -
Apple iPhone Top Selling Phone in September
3 Nov 2009 | 12:15 pmAccording to an article on FierceWireless the Apple iPhone 3GS 32GB was the top selling phone in the country for the month of September 2009. But wait there’s more. Not only was the iPhone the #1 selling phone but it was also the #2 (3G 8GB) and #4 (3G 16GB) as well. This is phenomenal when you consider that the Apple iPhone is on arguably the most disliked carrier AT&T. Imagine what will happen when Apple finally pulls it’s head from the sand and allows other carriers, mainly Verizon, to have a stab at selling it? [source: FierceWireless.com] No related posts.

iPhone Jailbreak: Just Say No
3 Nov 2009 | 8:17 amAs most of you know already, or are about to learn, the latest OS 3.12 for the Apple iPhone has been hacked or jailbroken as it were, but here at MobiMadness our policy is to not support OS hacks of any kind. We have taken this stand to protect the phones we love and the future of those phones. By it’s nature a hacked phone is compromised and since iPhone is making great in roads into the business world, a hacked iPhone is at the very least a security risk. It is therefore our contention that hacking ones iPhone is counter productive to the goal of promoting its use. iPhone… -

iPhone and iPod Touch Jailbreaking 101
20 Nov 2009 | 5:16 amI found this video on jailbreaking and posted it because alot of friends and readers ask me how to do it. Since, I haven’t done one myself I posted a how-to from someone, as I only post what I know and I really don’t need to jailbreak my iPhone. What is Jailbreaking? Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod Touch just means that you are running unofficial Apple code, bypassing the “official” distribution of apps, i.e. a way to bypass using the AppStore. Why would you jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch? If you are using AT&T most people jailbreak their phone to enable… -
