Completing each level involves getting the oil from the spigot to the goal area utilizing widgets you can drag into the game area. For instance, oil flows off… -
Comcast Dropping 250GB Data Cap In Favor of "Improved Data Usage Management"
17 May 2012 | 10:26 amSeveral years ago, Comcast began instituting bandwidth caps of 250GB per month on its residential customers. In 2008, this was plenty for most customers, but with the advent of streaming video services like Netflix, Hulu, WatchESPN and others, some users have been concerned about whether the 250GB cap was sufficient for their needs. Today, Comcast has announced it is revamping its cap system, instituting larger caps with the ability for customers to purchase additional gigabytes in blocks. The first new approach will offer multi-tier usage allowances that incrementally increase usage… -

Is it a Good Time to Buy a New Mac?
16 May 2012 | 5:22 pmMany are wondering if it is a good time to buy a new Mac. Here’s what I’ve got to say on the matter.There is a tremendous amount of uncertainty swirling around Apple’s Mac line of computers right now. This is despite the company’s claim that they are doubling down on the Mac with major annual updates to OS X, spearheaded this year with Mountain Lion. Even so, it’s apparent Apple’s earnings reports that the Mac is no longer their cornerstone product. The iPhone and iPad are now in charge.There have been no major Mac hardware updates and we are five months…

MacStories looks at four years of the App Store
18 May 2012 | 1:45 pmIt's been almost four years since Apple debuted its App Store platform for iOS (and then the Mac), and MacStories has an in-depth look back at that time. In just four short years, Apple has gone from saying that all we'd need on iOS are web apps, to a millions of dollars a year industry that supports almost half a million jobs. Needless to say, that's phenomenal growth. But what's most interesting about the growth of the App Store is how the apps themselves have changed. MacStories writes about that initial push -- in those early days, the quality of the software was very low, and there were… -

iRig Mix out now, impresses with size and features
17 May 2012 | 4:00 pmIK Multimedia's iRig Mix mixer has finally arrived in stores, and it's just as impressive now as it was back when we saw it in action at CES this year. The mixer is sturdy and impressively small, and it has hookups for two different sources, including two iOS devices or any other stereo input source, as well as an extra mic/instrument input. Those sounds can then be mixed together, balanced, or tweaked with EQ, and sent out to a headphone jack on the bottom, and a stereo RCA output on the top. In short, this is a great full-featured mixer for mixing together sounds from almost anywhere. The… -
Daily iPhone App: Amoebattle does RTS right

But Amoebattle impressively does RTS as you expect it. You choose units, send them around exploring, and tap to attack or move through the fog of war in real-time. There are nine different unit types to be discovered during the campaign, and each has its own attributes and abilities. The graphics are cute and colorful, but the tactics are hard to master -- especially near the end, when the game has no… -

iTranslate Voice for iPhone Does Language Translation on the Fly (Mostly)
18 May 2012 | 11:23 amThough it’s not the first voice-to-voice language translation app in the App Store, Sonico’s iTranslate Voice is currently topping the paid charts in the App Store and is earning a wide range of ratings so far. I’ve always been intrigued by voice translation apps (see my reviews of Trippo Voicemagix and Vocre) and I thought iTranslate Voice, which debuted in the App Store a little over a week ago, was worth a closer look. iTranslate Voice’s main screen is pretty bare, presenting only two microphone buttons to kick off dictation of the language you want to translate. -
Flight+ Puts Comprehensive Travel Information at your Fingertips
15 May 2012 | 12:25 pmWhile many airlines offer their own apps to provide easier access to flight status and other information, keeping one for every airline you fly can clutter up your iPhone quickly.

There’s also an ignore list so you can disable notifications for certain application updates. I use the ignore list for Apple apps that recently updated for iOS 5.1 that I do not want to update because I’m still on 5.0.1. This application is $1.49 in the Cydia Store. -

Here are some pictures I took: A couple things that I don’t like about Hipstamatic are you have to pick the camera before you take the picture where Instagraam you take one picture and can scroll through the results later. I also don’t like that the preview is a very small square on the screen. Overall, if you’re…

Review: Hex Code Folio for iPad 2 + iPad (3rd-Gen)
18 May 2012 | 12:50 pmThe first thing we noticed about Code Folio is its atypical thickness. It’s not due to the flat cowhide cover, but rather the bulky soft-touch-coated plastic frame unlike any we’ve come across in the past. Measuring it at half an inch around the edges, the hold is secure, but we’re just not sure why Hex didn’t shave a few millimeters off of the bottom to slim it down. Overall it’s not an empirically bad thing, and it… -

Augmented reality sandbox lets you change the course of rivers, won’t get you wet
7 May 2012 | 1:54 amAsk in any kid, playing in the sandbox is fun enough on its own, but too much moisture will turn your grainy playground into a lumpy mess. Researchers at UC Davis have cooked up one solution: an augmented reality sandbox. The project uses a Kinect sensor in conjunction with a digital projector and a bit of software to overlay topographical data and simulated water over a traditional — and dry — sandbox. The end result is an augmented environment that can be used to teach geographic, geologic and hydrological concepts. The team hopes the project will help them develop hands-on… -

The iPad in All of Us
23 Mar 2010 | 7:20 pmApple's new iPad has no doubt crossed your mind if you are even close to an Apple or Mac fan. I know it has been an item that has been impossible for me to ignore lately. Even with all of the fanfare and how truly spectacular the iPad itself looks, I still have no desire to own one. I just cannot find a good place for it to fit into my lifestyle. Although it looks cool and is a prime example of an Apple product, it just doesn't seem like a very good alternative to a MacBook. Of course the starting price is quite lower than a MacBook, but a MacBook has Mac OSX,… -

It seems that the two networks are playing nice now after a small legal battle that was childish at best and just managed to bring light to the whole deal anyway; making it a lose lose for AT&T. After the dust has settled a little bit though, I got this email from AT&T. They decided to email me and let me know that their service was great and getting better all of the time.Normally I would just think this was some email that I had signed up for accidently when buying…

'Who Was Steve Jobs?' Kids Book Hits iBook Store
16 May 2012 | 2:38 pmIn order for third graders to truly understand the genius of Steve Jobs, it takes rugged illustrations and a book cover featuring Apple's Co-founder sporting a ginormous cranium. That's because smart people have really big brains and carry an iPhone. Although "Who Was Steve Jobs?" is a children's book aimed at 3rd to 6th graders — the content under cover does a stellar job detailing the history of Jobs, but does not fail to cover facts on Steve Wozniak, including his 1981 plane crash that led to an extended leave of absence from Apple. While this book by Pam… -

There are lots of high-quality apps designed especially for young children to help with spelling, math, etc. Indeed, my son's school even has an iPad lab that the children use, and the school has a good list of recommended apps.

'The Sandbox' Review - Paint With Physics
18 May 2012 | 7:00 amUsually when we call a game a sandbox, we're referring to some kind of open world game where you can wander, free of restraints, and do anything you can think of. The Sandbox [ Free ] isn't quite that kind of game. Instead it straddles the border between game and art project, rewarding players for creativity while giving them near-infinite possibilities. You don't play a character in The Sandbox, you play a god. You can paint with pixels of stone, draw towers of earth and set them to grow. You can draw just about any non-living thing you can imagine, paint it into a scene, and then bring it…

A little controversy with the Dropbox SDK
2 May 2012 | 4:05 amYesterday on Twitter, there was some shatter about Apple rejecting applications that include the Dropbox SDK. MacStories has an excellent article on the issue which is summarized here: Apps that integrate with Dropbox, in fact, can either authenticate through the installed Dropbox app, or, if not installed, open a web view to let users log in with the browser. The alleged problem with Apple is that the Dropbox mobile login page contains a link to go back to Dropbox’s main website/account creation page, and possibly purchase a subscription bypassing Apple’s App Store (and thus… -
iOS developers expecting Siri APIs for WWDC 2012!
2 May 2012 | 3:55 amHere are the results of my latest poll: What are your expectations from iOS 6 The most promising expectations for me are Siri API's and an Apple TV SDK. The latter would create quite a stir this year because this would create a third App Store for Apple and would prepare Apple to position itself with a nice catalog of applications for a future iTV if ever Apple decide to launch one. Would be curious to read the HIG for Apple TV applications.

Nokia Lumia 900 is the "best smartphone ever" according to... Siri
11 May 2012 | 10:07 amEh? Ask Apple’s speech-recognition software Sir ?what the best smartphone ever is, and the answer would surely be its own champion handset the iPhone 4S, right?? Wrong! According to Siri the answer is the Nokia Lumia 900,?at the time of writing at least. Go on, try it for yourselves. Siri’s answers are actually based on results from search engine Wolfram Alpha, which itself takes information from user reviews. With the Nokia Lumia 900 recently having been launched, it’s perhaps understandable it has so many hits. That said, we’re sure the folks at Apple won’t be… -

Some new unofficial concept images of the iPhone 5 have surfaced that show and angular and very shiny back device. I would love to see the actual iPhone look like this concept art.

As you solve the puzzles you get points to unlock certain areas of the game which lead to new puzzles.There is a Miscellany menu for turning off the various sounds of the app and looking at… -

Usually, your application will have a sub-set of objects in your object graph that you are using to store user generated content.

This is the part of the object graph that you probably have managed by Core Data or saved locally to your app’s filesystem in one way or… -

Kung Fu Rabbit in Review – No Sharp, Pointy Teeth, But Still…
17 May 2012 | 3:52 amWell, BulkyPix has managed to publish another extremely addictive action platform game with Kung Fu Rabbit. Of course the fact that the protagonist is an oddly shaped rabbit wielding a deadly blade is beside the point. It also doesn’t hurt that no matter how many times you fail a level there’s this bizarre draw to give it one more try. For various reasons I’ll choose not to disclose I’m not nearly as far in this game as I’d like by now, but it hasn’t deterred me one bit from playing, and in fact is probably the reason I’ve stuck with it so long.(...)Read the rest of Kung… -

iOS 6 – Can the fruit stand alone?
19 May 2012 | 6:00 amWith WWDC around the corner, the rumor mill is in full swing as to what the folks at Cupertino plan to unveil. It’s unlikely to be a new iOS device, (our bets are on an October new iPhone event) but as 9to5Mac reported, there’s every indication that iOS 6 is in the final stages of testing and will likely be the centrepiece of this year’s developer conference. -

iPhone App Video Review: My Little Hero

After being tucked in by your mother, the boogeyman (who kind of resembles our old pal Oogie Boogie of A Nightmare Before Christmas) takes every single one of your toys and dolls. But you're not going to cry for your mama like most other kids. That's not how you role. You don a cardboard helmet, grab your cardboard sword, and enter your own personal land of Narnia to get your toys back. -

True HDR Delivers Amazing Results
14 May 2012 | 9:05 pmI spent some time in Sweden over the weekend hang out with colleagues and one of the places I went was just off the ocean. I walked down to the water front the scene was breathtaking and so serene. Although I had my Nikon D7000 in the back of the car, I just didn’t feel like walking back up the hill to get it. I pulled out my iPhone, fired up the True HDR App and captured the scene. Although I’ve had this App on my iPhone 4s for a while now, I hadn’t really used it much. I was blown away by not only the ease of use, but also by the results! First of all I shot this HDR hand… -

Adobe Proto for iPad is Here
11 May 2012 | 12:57 amAdobe Proto helps enables you to mock up websites with simple gestures right on your iPad. If you want to add a DIV to the page just draw a rectangle. If you want an image draw an X, a video draw a triangle, etc. Move these objects around, add text place holders, menus and navigation. The wireframes that you’re building are using industry standard CSS. Once you’re done sync your wireframe to Creative Cloud (free 2GBs of space) to further build it out in DreamWeaver CS6. Seems like a must have for web designers that use DreamWeaver and an iPad. -
Adobe Collage for iPad is Here
11 May 2012 | 12:46 amAlong with the release of Creative Cloud today (and Creative Suite 6 earlier this week) Adobe has released Adobe Collage for iPad. Adobe Collage allows you to create “moodboards” by combining images, drawings, videos and text together on one cavas. I see creatives jot down their ideas on sketch pads all the time. Now there’s a way to do it right on your iPad. However, beyond just jotting down ideas, you can begin to visualize those ideas by also adding the imagery and videos. You can even import your PDFs, Photoshop .PSD files and Adobe Illustrator .AI files. Search for… -
Uncompressed Photos From Your iPhone
8 May 2012 | 9:01 pmEveryone knows that the camera on the iPhone is one of the best cameras offered on a mobile phone; but up until now there hasn’t been a way to get uncompressed files from that great camera to work with in external image editors like Photoshop. That’s all changed. There are literally thousands of alternative camera Apps for the iPhone in the App store. We’ve reviewed so many on here that it really takes something special to catch our attention let alone make up here as a “Best App”. 645Pro not only caught my attention, but it really blew me away with the…

19 May 2012 | 11:56 am3 small games this week (none over 100MB in size), all of which can be had on the app store in like a minute. Cubyrinth is a puzzle solver that will require your concentration and some Rubik's experience; Warpspeed 2 is a 3D racer with addictively retro sound/graphics; Blast Angle HD is a Dome Wars (or Scorched Earth on PC) redo with a sharp and vibrant look, though showing a spot of instability on my iPad.

Steve Jobs devoted a lot of his time prior to his death creating the iPhone 5
17 May 2012 | 7:53 pmSteve Jobs was heavily involved with the creation of the iPhone 5 prior to his death. He understood that the iPhone had evolved into such an amazing device that it was literally an extension of the body to millions of people in the world. Jobs knew he had to keep up with the flow of technology and a bigger screen was top on his list for the next generation iPhone. Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans… -
Apple ordering 4 inch screens for the next generation iPhone
16 May 2012 | 8:14 amThe Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has begun ordering 4 inch screens for the next generation iPhone. Apple Inc., which is expected to launch its next-generation iPhone later this year, has ordered screens from its Asian suppliers that are bigger than the ones used in iPhones since they debuted in 2007, people familiar with the situation said. Production is set to begin next month for the screens, which measure at least 4 inches diagonally compared with 3.5 inches on the iPhone 4S, the latest phone from Apple, the people said. Apple Inc plans to use a larger screen on the… -
Top iPhone News: Apple is beginning to reduce the production of the iPhone 4S in preparation of the iPhone 5
15 May 2012 | 9:20 pmApple has made the analysts believe that they are slowing down the production of the current iPhone 4S model to prepare the retail shelves for the upcoming iPhone 5. This is the same plan of preparation that Apple did before the release of the iPhone 4S and since the iPhone 5 is expected to be released this October it comes as no surprise. This big gap in-between iPhone launch’s must mean big things are in store for both the consumer and Apple. I am pretty confident there will be changes to the design of the iPhone, it will be look like a mini version of the iPad with the slightly… -
iPhone 5: The Rumors, The Design, The Hype
11 May 2012 | 3:41 pmThere are a bunch of iPhone 5 rumors floating around the internet lately. Despite what you have read or what you have been told, Apple has still not finalized the design of the new iPhone 5. No larger screen, no metal back and no 16:9 aspect ratio is to be expected as of right now, that does not mean Apple won’t change it on a whim. There is currently a new smaller dock connector being tried out on the prototype but the screen size, the aspect ratio and the home button have remained the same. Apple has made it clear that if the screen size does happen to increase with the new iPhone 5,… -
7-inch iPad will be released by Apple and on track with October 2012 release date
10 May 2012 | 8:49 pmApple is going forward with the 7-inch mini iPad with a projected October 2012 release, possibly on October 5th as that is the day Steve Jobs passed away. Apple will be leaving no space for the competition as they will be listing the new mini iPad at $200 to $250 price range. There have been rumors that the new smaller version of the iPad will be identical to the current 9.7 inch iPad just a scaled down version. It will include a 2048×1536 resolution display also with a pixel density of around 326 ppi, the same as the iPhone 4S. Steve Jobs did not like the idea of a scaled down iPad,…

Library For Easily Working With Ruby On Rails Apps With Objective-C Code Generation
18 May 2012 | 3:34 pmThere are a number of excellent open source libraries out there for communicating with RESTful services such as the excellent MKNetworkKit, and AFNetworking. Today I came across an open source framework for communicating with Rails servers offering a vast number of features for easily communicating with Ruby On Rails projects. The library can even auto-generate Objective-C code, and for those who want to stick with Ruby now supports RubyMotion. The library is NSRails from Dan Hassin.

Open Source: Nifty Eye-Catching Animated Tile Menu Control
17 May 2012 | 11:35 pmSome time ago I listed a library for creating animated pop out curved menus inspired by the Path 2 app. Today I came across another library that in my opinion allows you to make menus that are even more eye-catching allowing you to create an animated menu using a set of icons. You can even set the menus up to be left and right handed, have multiple pages of icons (ie. have one tile open another menu of tiles). There are so many possibilities with this control – you ‘ll need to see it in action to get a better idea: You can find the component on Github here. Matt also has an… -

Today I came across another excellent utility library from Bruno Wernimont that includes a number of handy utility classes allowing you to do a number of things such as perform easier multitasking, use Core Location with a blocks based syntax, UITableView form and cell mapping, and more. You can find the library known as BaseKit on Github here. Bruno has also written two extensive examples on using BaseKit with table… -
Example: Using Core Image Face Detection On A Live Video Feed
16 May 2012 | 11:38 pmSome time ago I posted a tutorial on the basics of using Core Image face detection on the iOS platform. Something that was asked in the comments thread for that post was how to use Core Image face detection on a live video feed – and whether it was fast enough. Recently I received a submission from Jeroen Trappers showing how to use Core Image face detection on a live video feed, and place a moustache on the faces found within the video stream. Here’s an image of the example in action from Jeroen’s site: You can find the tutorial here. The speed is respectable on newer iOS… -

There are times however when you might need a bit more speed and don’t want to try rolling your own filter. Today I came across an image processing library that is designed for speed and provides that enhanced speed by using Apple’s vDSP API. The library provides UIImage categories and provides allows you to easily apply sharpen, blur (box, gaussian and motion), and emboss filters. The library is image-dsp from Mad Dog software and…

Escape from the Age of Monsters Review
17 May 2012 | 7:00 pmI’m going to level with you here: I picked up Massive Joe Studios and Ayopa Games’ Escape from the Age of Monsters (Out Now, $0.99) based solely on its promise of a jaw-droppingly gorgeous art-style and graphics. Not something I’d usually do, but I honestly couldn’t resist checking out what Jeff Matsuda — comic book artist extraordinaire and Emmy award-winning producer of top-notch animated series like Jackie Chan Adventures and The Batman — had cooked up for his latest iOS project. And surely enough, Escape doesn’t disappoint on the visual front. -

Sheep Up! Review
17 May 2012 | 5:00 pmDo you need more tone in those tilt-control muscles in your wrist and forearm? Maybe it’s time to Sheep Up! (Out Now, $0.99). Rolling every platformer vet’s greatest fears into a serious wrist-flicking workout, Bad Seed Entertainment’s iOS debut has you guiding an auto-bouncing sheep up the floors of a cardboard box tower. With an overhead view of each floor, the player tilts to give the sheep just the right momentum to bound over chasms, squash monsters, and avoid traps while solving simple logistical puzzles. Exit platforms that take you to the next floor regularly have… -
Teeny Green Review
16 May 2012 | 7:55 pmSo much for “finders, keepers.” No sooner did Teeny Green (Out Now, $0.99) dig up a gold star than some evil blobs made away with it. To make matters more challenging, that gold star multiplied into about 70 and now Teeny Green will have to fight its way through the thieves to get them all back. When I first saw the preview trailer I thought Green might be in a race with its foes for each level’s yellow star. Turns out things are deliciously more sinister than that, cute appearances aside: enemy blobs are cool and efficient hunter-killers, out for the player…

The Singing Alphabet
16 May 2012 | 3:12 amThe Singing Alphabet is a fresh and original app that defies easy categorization. But if we had to try, we’d say it’s a phonics-based, music-mixing, jamtastic alphabet app. With 26 friendly letters at your child’s fingertips, he can create an endless number of jazzy musical combinations. If he touches a letter, it sings its phonetic sound in a continuous loop. He can then add letters, make words, or press the “Shh!” button to clear selections. Why we like it: It’s so danceable! Also, there are so many varieties of sounds. The “s” sort of… -
Monkey Math School Sunshine
14 May 2012 | 9:22 amMonkey Math School Sunshine (from the creators of the bestselling app Monkey Preschool Lunchbox) partners your child with a frisky monkey as they tackle fun, beach-themed math activities. There’s simple addition, counting, tracing, and pattern recognition, plus plenty of clams, star fish, crabs, jellyfish and shells. Why we like it: Great graphics, varied activities, and a swinging calypso soundtrack? Check. This fun app has rewards too. Every time your child successfully completes a few levels, she’ll be rewarded with a prize (sea creatures to add to her aquarium). We also… -
Rainbow Sentences
9 May 2012 | 8:16 amRainbow Sentences is an educational language app that teaches students how to form grammatically correct sentences with the help of color cues. Learning nouns, verbs, and prepositions can be intimidating for young writers, but this app makes it fun. Students have to unscramble the color-coded sentence at the bottom of a picture by dragging the words to their matching color line at the top. After they build their sentence, they can record themselves reading it out loud. Kids will like that many of the pictures and sentences are a bit kooky: “The shoes are sleeping in the bed.” Well, duh. -

Review: Widge by X-Doria: iPad case perfect for kids
15 May 2012 | 10:38 pmIt wasn't long after I started using an iPad that my wife saw how useful it would be to have her own. Earlier this year, I upgraded to the third generation iPad, which meant that we became a three iPad household. Having two children in the house (age four and six) made it easy to decide what to do with the extra iPad. There are lots of high-quality apps designed especially for young children to help with spelling, math, etc. Indeed, my son's school even has an iPad lab that the children use, and the school has a good list of recommended apps. Although I only let the kids use… -
Review: iPad Apps in One Hour for Lawyers by Tom Mighell -- overview of legal apps
14 May 2012 | 10:51 pmDallas attorney Tom Mighell wrote iPad in One Hour for Lawyers, a great introduction to the iPad that I reviewed last year. His follow-up book is iPad Apps in One Hour, a book that describes about 200 apps that are recommended for lawyers who use an iPad. Mighell gave me a free review copy of the soft cover version of the book, but I see that it is also available on the iBookstore. True to its name, you can read this entire book in about an hour, and after doing so you will have a good handle on the apps that you can use to make the most of an iPad in your law practice. After providing… -
Review: Paperless by David Sparks -- excellent iBook on going paperless
13 May 2012 | 10:05 pmIn January of this year, Apple introduced iBooks Author, software that allows you to create beautiful and sophisticated books for the Apple iBookstore that can be read on an iPad. This powerful software lets authors integrate text, pictures, videos and more. One of the first titles that I have seen that takes advantage of this new publishing system is Paperless, a a $5 book by David Sparks. Sparks is an attorney in Orange County, CA and he is well known for his MacSparky website and the Mac Power Users podcast that he does with Florida attorney Katie Floyd. Sparks also wrote iPad at… -
In the news
10 May 2012 | 10:05 pmI saw several references on the web this week (such as this one) to a letter that Apple sends new employees when they join the company. It contains a nice message that could apply to many other professions, including many law firms: "There's work and there's your life's work. The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it. The kind of work that you'd never compromise on. That you'd sacrifice a weekend for. You can do that kind of work at Apple. People don't come here to play it safe. They come here to swim in the deep end. They… -
CTIA Wireless 2012
9 May 2012 | 10:05 pmAround 40,000 people are in New Orleans this week for the International CTIA Wireless convention, the largest meeting of the wireless industry in the world. Apple itself does not have an official presence at the show (although I'm sure Apple employees are here), but the convention is full of companies that are a part of the iPhone and iPad ecosystem. I spent some time on the exhibit floor yesterday and saw lots of interesting iPhone accessories. I also bumped in to the Android robot wearing a pair of Mardi Gras beads. I didn't ask the robot what it had to do on Bourbon…

App Score is a dynamic score which processes dozens of parameters several times a day across all the apps in the iOS App Store.

The Art of iBook Creation
2 May 2012 | 4:07 pmWe are quickly learning that creating an iBook involves a new way of thinking. An iBook is really a hybrid between an eBook and an app—it includes text and images like an eBook, but it also allows for all kinds of extra user interactions like an app. Panoply of skills What skills are required to create a great iBook? At least these: Layout/typography Interaction design Visual design Copy editing Image editing Videography HTML5/Javascript programming (to create widgets) So although iBooks Author makes it possible for anyone to publish an iBook, to make something exceptional requires multiple… -

Our First iBook
18 Apr 2012 | 5:48 amWe like to try stuff out. For example, three years ago Jeremy felt like trying out app development; and the rest is history. You never know what will happen when you try stuff out, but it can open up whole universes of possibility that you had never seen or known before. So it is in the spirit of trying stuff out that we are creating our first iBook. Yes, we do not know what will come of Apple’s newly opened up iBook platform. We think, but are not sure, that the iBookstore may soon become analogous to the Music Store or App Store—both in terms of volume and profit. Others disagree. -

iBooks 2—much more than meets the eye?

Apple billed the event as being all about replacing physical textbooks and announced that most of the major textbook publishers were on board. Apple showed off rich interactions that would put traditional physical textbooks to shame, and priced at $14.99 or less. Apple’s spin was that this was the beginning of the end of traditional textbooks. Perhaps. But we at Tapity were all atwitter (though we didn’t tweet much) for a different set of reasons: There is nothing…

Keep In Contact With Friends and Family Using Cards by Apple
27 Apr 2012 | 2:13 pmI’m the type of person that dreads a trip to the card store, it’s one of the worst places. You stand there and pick through 100′s of cards and over pay for them. The average greeting card runs about $5.00 and it’s so impersonal. It always amazes me how when I buy my wife a card for any occasion she reads it and comments on it like, “Oh that’s so sweet”.

Basically, when a FaceTime call is active over Wi-Fi on an iPhone running on iOS 5.1.1 and a user turns off the “Enable 3G” option in the Settings, the operating system presents the user with a warning message that states: “Disabling 3G may end FaceTime.

Apple Television Set May Double U.S. Household Spending on Apple Products
19 May 2012 | 3:54 amIf Apple were to launch a branded television set, it could cause total average annual U.S. household spending on Apple products to double to $888 by 2015 according to a new projection.

Motorola and RIM Propose a Revised nano-SIM Design Concept to Apple
19 May 2012 | 3:36 amA new design concept for a next-gen, smaller “nano-SIM” card very similar to that of the one originally pushed by Apple has been submitted by both Motorola and RIM. According to The Verge, the new nano-SIM design is “80% Apple and 20% Motorola/RIM). It features the same outline and contacts originally included in Apple’s design, which means that it should be backwards compatible with larger SIM cards when used with an adapter, but it also includes a notch on one edge that would allow for a mechanism that would secure the card once pushed in, and allow it to be pushed again to pop it… -

Remote Check Deposit Takes Off
17 May 2012 | 11:53 pmThere was a time, not too long ago, when bank runs were a part of regular errands for many people. Paychecks, birthday checks from your Nana, even payments for selling things online required making a trip to the bank, filling out a deposit slip, and waiting in line behind the dozen or so other people trying to withdraw and deposit money. We now live in an age where checks are rapidly becoming a distant memory. I pay all my bills online, my paycheck is automatically deposited, and if I buy something online, I either use PayPal or my credit card. I rarely even make a trip to the ATM, since my… -
App Rates Your Ugliness
17 May 2012 | 12:55 amIn Snow White, the queen was prone to look in the mirror and beg the question, “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Of course, the mirror in Snow White answered the question. In the real world, mirrors wouldn’t answer a question like that. We’d simply be left staring at ourselves, wondering why we were asking a mirror to tell us how we looked. Surely, in the computer age, there must be a way to find out if we’re attractive or not. Public rating sites like HotorNot.com, which allowed visitors to rate photos of users, and Fashmasher.com, a recreation of Mark… -

Eat at TGI Fridays, Pay by iPhone
14 May 2012 | 10:00 pmWhen I told you about the Tabbed Out app, I mentioned that most establishments still weren’t accepting payment this way. The app was existing on a “build it and they will come” mentality. But it was such a great idea, I figured it could only be a matter of time before a national chain jumped on board. T.G.I. Friday’s became that national chain, with the recent announcement that it is launching its own payment app, powered by Tabbed Out’s software. While the new app will only currently work at 350 of T.G.I. Friday’s 600 locations, more should come on board soon. The launch of the… -
10 Best iPhone Apps for the New User
13 May 2012 | 11:37 pmThere are many iPhone users, and some experts say that the market is almost saturated but I beg to differ. I think iPhone lovers want to buy newer models the second they are launched. Gigaom gives some tips for new iPhone users: The iPhone is amazing, but it is after all still a phone, and sometimes you won’t want it to make noise. Simply hit the sleep button (top right) to instantly silence any ringing and vibrating already in progress. Flick the switch on the upper left side of the phone to turn off audio notifications. Also, in Settings, navigate to Sounds. Here you what sounds (if any)…
