Available In: App Store Price: $4.99 I was on the bus to work when it occurred to me that I might be able to get my Exchange account back. You see, I have become very attached to Google calendar and more recently Google contacts. When GoogleSync was released, I was very excited to have the push capabilities of Calendar and Contacts. With ease, I set up and was able to push my calendar, along with ...

¿Recuerdan RunPee, la aplicación web que les comenté hace un par de meses? Se trata, para los olvidadizos, de un servicio que nos ayuda a identificar los mejores momentos de una película para hacer un viaje rápido al baño en caso de que la naturaleza llame en el cine. Pues bien, los dueños de iPhone estarán contentos en saber que ya no tendrán que imprimirse o anotarse en un papel qué momento es el mejor ...

Ein altes Supportdokument über die "zulässige" iPhone-Betriebstemperatur wird derzeit gerne wiedergekäut und kurzerhand mit den bislang spärlichen Fällen der Überhitzung einiger weißer iPhone 3GS zusammengewürfelt. Tatsächlich ist das Supportdokument seit 2008 seinem Inhalt nach unverändert, lediglich das iPhone 3GS wurde Ende Juni hinzugefügt. Zu den Berichten über Verfärbungen und Überhitzung des iPhone 3GS äußerte sich Apple bislang nicht. -- Foto: Samsas Traum Ein Apfeltalk-Mitglied berichtet, dass sich die oleophobische Beschichtung seines iPhone 3GS bereits an ...

iPhone/iPod Touch only: Remember previously mentioned RunPee.com, the ingenious website that tells you when to head out for a bathroom break during a movie so you don't miss any good parts? Now the site has released its first mobile version for iPhone users. Built on the same premise as the website, RunPee's iPhone app tells you the most opportune times to head out for a bathroom break (e.g., @ 35 mins.). Like the site, RunPee ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Bad Apple, Apple, iPhone, iPod touchAs if the waters surrounding the App Store approval process weren't murky enough, one developer has just hit an unprecedented wall. Apple rejected his app, iKaraoke, citing that it duplicated functionality of the iPod application. Of course, the "duplicate functionality" reason is nothing new, but Apple's next step is: just a few weeks after rejecting the application, they have filed a patent for including karaoke ...

Unwired View uncovered three new iPhone patents that promise to turn everything from calling grandma on her birthday to turning off your phone in a movie theater into gloriously mindless activities. Scheduled Communications "A communications device may be programmed to initiate a communications operation when a particular condition is met. The user may set any suitable condition, including for example a date and time, location, event, received or sent communications operation..." In other words, automatically ...

iPhone/iPod touch涌现出了无数优秀的音乐制作类应用程序，所有音乐家都围绕在其周围，其中不乏大牌电子音乐人制作的应用程序。下面我列举5个由大牌电子音乐人制作的优秀的应用程序，都是可以直接作曲的/编曲的，而非像The Prodigy和The Crystal Method之流推出的那些只能查看乐队图片、视频、新闻的无聊应用。当然这些应用程序都不是由大牌电子音乐人自己制作的，而是有他们的创意和理念在里面，真正实现还是靠程序员来完成。BT（Brian Transeau）出品：Sonifi大小：52.9MB价格：4.99美元购买：http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=319782005&mt=8Sonifi是我第一推荐的应用，BT在N久前就跟twitter里开始炒作，这个程序可以对BT即将在09年推出的单曲Rose Of Jericho进行remix，其中带有两个做好的有头有尾的版本，每个版本都分成4个声部，每个声部里又有4种不同的patttern，你可以自由打乱它们的出现顺序，每个pattern都按小节自动同步，不必担心拍子没对齐。Sonifi不仅内置了LoFi、高通滤波和低通滤波三种常规效果器，最最牛逼的是，它还内置了BT招牌式的stutter效果，iPhone向前后左右上下6个方向摇动就出现6种不同的stutter效果。Stutter没有太准确的翻译，总之就是把音乐按节奏切成碎片，再根据不同的速度、前后顺序和音量变化重新回放出来，效果超炫！我现在出门已经不用iPhone当iPod听了，都是直接打开Sonifi，有时间就随便调换下顺序鼓捣一个自己remix的新版本（对了，你可以把自己remix的结果录下来的），没时间就听它内置的原曲，2个remix版本+4声部+4种pattern，就算你中间什么都不动只是选好pattern从头听到尾，也有32种组合，形成32首不同的音乐。我心目中未来的电子音乐就是都要按这个形式在发行，没有一成不变的最终版本，每个人都可以简单的做出自己的remix。BT本人接受Remix杂志采访时也谈到说，Sonifi是一个平台，将来会联合更多音乐人和版权所有者提供更多音乐素材来演奏，应该是可以直接在软件里一键购买的。最后提一句，Sonifi的视觉效果也非常棒，并且与音乐节奏同步。你需要iPhone OS 3.0系统才可以运行，因为其视觉效果有用到最新的Open GL API。Brian Eno出品：Bloom大小：10.5MB价格：3.99美元购买：http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=292792586&mt=8Bloom是iPhone OS刚刚升级到2.0不久就推出的应用程序，看得出Brian Eno人老心不老，就算对新鲜事物也依然是急先锋。不过Bloom的功能相对简单，点击屏幕不同位置就可做出不同音高的声音，音色都是类似弹拨的lead，为了不会感到枯燥通过内置的looper来形成循环效果，较早前发出的声音会随着时间的流逝音量慢慢变弱到消失。如果你制作环境音乐，那么用Bloom就可以很轻易的营造出环境音乐的感觉，随手几下的触摸没准也能得到一段类似Brian Eno那种感觉的“微型音乐”呢。Depeche Mode出品：Depeche Mode Sound of the Universe大小：64.6MB价格：免费购买：http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=310792121&mt=8Depeche Mode的Sound of the Universe应用程序几乎跟他们同名专辑同时进入iTunes销售，其中内置了一个简单的采样回放器，有8个来自Sound of the Universe里多首歌曲的采样和pattern，你可以触发进行播放，来做出remix，晃动iPhone可以撤销。这个看的出是赶时间的作品，很简陋，也不好玩，纯属娱乐一下Depeche Mode的粉丝而已，反正也是免费嘛。 Deadmau5出品：Deadmau5 Mix大小：34.7MB价格：2.99美元购买：http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=304224636&mt=8Deadmau5也算一个很先锋的DJ了，它也是首个以自己名义制作iPhone应用的DJ。Deadmau5 Mix内置10段自己的loop（在选择loop的界面你可以看到这个loop来自它哪个曲子里），你有A/B左右两个唱机，读取不同的loop来回切换音量，再加上内置的looper、滤波、镶边和延迟效果器，可调的效果发送量和播放速度，你就可以做一名Club DJ了。在界面上你还可以看到循环播放的loop的波形，拖动波形就等于做scratch，这么一来你又可以做一名Scratch DJ了。听我描述的很好，但我对Deadmau5 Mix里的10段loop都很无爱，呆板不说而且都不长，你继续做不出什么像样的东西，这个应用程序的存在似乎实验意义更大一些。Paul Van Dyk出品：PvD DJ-App大小：0.7MB价格：1.99美元购买：http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=314460555&mt=8最无聊的来了。PvD这个应用功能贼多，但一个赛一个的无聊。比如你可以弄个变色荧光棒，你可以把iPhone放到舞台上探测地板的震动大小，你可以通过iPhone的话筒探测舞池里的噪音达到多少分贝了，或者频率分布是如何的，你还可以通过iPhone的话筒探测舞曲里“咚咚咚”的速度，从而判断出当前音乐的节拍。这玩意还要卖钱啊杀了我吧！非Daft Punk出品：iDaft大小：5.8MB价格：免费购买：http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=311671506&mt=8我多么希望iDaft是Daft Punk出品的，但现实是Daft Punk的粉丝制作的。内置了Daft Punk著名的《Harder,Better,Faster,Stronger》一曲的主唱loop和背景loop，更棒的是主唱loop都按照乐句截开了，4句主唱截了4段，一共16段，点击每个按钮就回放一段，点不同的按钮或是狂点同一个按钮，配合背景loop就可以remix一段自己的《Harder,Better,Faster,Stronger》。结语：iPhone/iPod touch聚集的出色音乐制作应用程序绝对不只是有以上这么一点，我只是列举一些大牌电子音乐人的佳作，还有更多的优秀应用等待大家去挖掘。其它手机平台就与类似的优秀音乐程序无缘吗？比如Android？Symbian？Web OS？Windows Mobile等等？就目前来看，真的是无缘，因为只有iPhone OS的SDK拥有完备的音频API，而且与Mac OS的Core Audio几乎完全一样，这也使得运行在苹果系统之上的音乐软件、音频算法和互动界面可以很轻松的移植到iPhone OS上。 （视频都是我搜索自YouTube，为方便观看给转移到YouKu了）

Pocket projectors -- if they aren't quite 'all the rage' -- crop up all over the place these days. Beambox has teamed up with MiLi (makers of some fine iPhone chargers) on this newest one. The MiLi Evolution Mini Power Projector works in conjunction with your iPhone or iPod touch, docking it into the unit which then acts as projector and charger in one. The LCOS projector boasts 10 lumens of brightness for VGA projection ...

Filed under: iPhone, iPod touchBut not the right place, and that's the problem. Apple support boards are seeing increasing message traffic about icons that vanish, or attach themselves to the wrong app. This seems a problem with iPhone 3.0. Older versions seem unaffected.I saw this myself yesterday. My AT&T Navigator app which I am testing for a forthcoming review, somehow acquired my Reuters News icon.I deleted the AT&T app and re-downloaded it, but that didn't ...

Filed under: Software, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App ReviewSome people like to have unique avatars for forums and instant messaging clients. I don't. My avatars usually end up being silly pictures of myself because I'm a shallow narcissist...and a bit lazy.However, for those more creative than I, Persona [iTunes link] is a nice iPhone app in which to invest the price of a quarter-pounder. It allows the user to create a cartoon face by ...

The MiLi Pro is a LCOS, LED-driven projector for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Simply pop your iPhone into it and it can put a screen up on your wall. It's got a 640x480 resolution, so it probably won't look all that good at 70 inches, which is why they recommend 40 tops. Also, at 10 lumens, you'll be lucky to get 30 inches in a dark room. The whole thing is rechargeable and has ...

Filed under: WWDC, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch Balloons! for the iPhone (and iPod touch) made me smile. It's like Distant Shore, but more personal and fun. Don't get me wrong, I love Distant Shore, but Balloons! reminds me of being a kid and tying a message and photo to a balloon to send up into the stratosphere. Plus, you get a real sense of community. It's just plain fun to pick up a virtual ...

Only 19 percent of iPhone/iPod Touch applications in the AdMob network had more than 10,000 users in May, and a mere 5 percent had more than 100,000 users, according to the mobile ad network’s latest Mobile Metrics report. With more than 50,000 apps available on the iPhone, the long tail is in full effect — but even so, the steepness of the curve is impressive. More than half of the apps in the AdMob network ...

The iPhone 3.0 version of the Remote app now supports Apple TV controls with gesturing, which should give you a lot more flexibility than the standard little Apple Remote you already have. Techcrunch says it's incredibly improved, as you can now just slide around on the phone to move around the screen and use the keyboard to do type searches. Grab it here for free.
