Google Voice returns to iPhone, thanks to VoiceCentral
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Ever since Apple rejected Google Voice from the App Store, Google, as well as Voice users have been steaming. Sure, you can place a call or send a text via the Google Voice website, but in mobile Safari is not exactly the iPhone experience that users are accustomed to. Google Voice's website does not allow for a seamless and easy to use experience via a mobile browser.
TechCrunch is reporting that VoiceCentral, whose third-party Google Voice app was also removed from the App Store, will bring Google Voice back to the iPhone. Interestingly though, it will do it via the browser, completely bypassing Apple's app restrictions and revenue sharing. The experience will look and feel exactly as it would were it a normal app (swiping and all). Black Swan, as they're calling it, will feature everything you'd expect, with the only exception being your contacts. You will first need to import your contacts into your Google account before being able to use them.
Another slight annoyance, according to VoiceCentral, is that when you listen to voicemails, the audio will come from the speakers, and not the earpiece. This is due to the iPhone's way of routing audio from websites (using headphones will avoid this problem). Other than that, the app should look and feel like any other iPhone app. It even has offline support, allowing access to previously received transcriptions and texts. Black Swan is coming in early 2010. You can sign up for the limited beta at their website.
Here what it can do:
* Place calls through Google Voice™
* Browse your recent call history
* Listen to your voicemails
* Read and send SMS messages
* Import Google Voice™ contacts for easy dialing/SMS
* Review your billing and transaction history
* It can even be used offline to browse your contacts, call history, voicemails, and SMS messages. (Note: listening to voicemails still requires a connection just like the native app.)

Super Monkey Ball 2 Finally Coming to iPhone
Saturday, November 21, 2009
Super Monkey Ball, the iPhone game that set the $9.99 ceiling price for several major game titles that followed is expected to have a sequel launched just in time for holiday. Sega has announced that "Super Monkey Ball 2" will debut with 115 new levels, a local Wi-Fi multiplayer option, highly improved graphics and, most notably the game will feature an enhanced control system.
Despite the huge commercial success of the original game when it launched for iPhone in July of 2008, micro-gamers were critical of Super Monkey Ball's control sensitivity. Causing major frustration for avid users accustomed to rocking the little balled wonder ape on home consoles.
"After playing a late build of the sequel, it seems they've made real strides in the controls," said Arnold Kim for TouchArcade, "In particular, I found turning to be much more precise than in the original."
Mini-games are also expected to be added to Super Monkey Ball 2 with the first game being Monkey Bowling, later followed by Monkey Golf and Monkey Target that will be added as free updates in early 2010. Currently Super Monkey Ball is on sale for $3.99. No price has been announced yet for Sega's long overdue sequel. (sneak peek video after the break).

Disney Releases iPhone App to AppStore
Wednesday, November 04, 2009
Disney.com announced it has launched an app for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store.
The company said the Disney App features an array of Disney content including areas dedicated to Characters, Music, Video and Games. Content in the app will be updated regularly, providing kids and families with instant access to the latest Disney news and entertainment.
The new Disney App will also offer features including "Click2Life" which allows iPhone users to take pictures of images from the online version of Disney.com with their device that will then come to life within the app and turn into an animated image, the company said. Additionally, Disney said the App will automatically discover other Disney apps and games available through the App Store, organizing all Disney-branded content within one destination on each device so users can access their favorite games and entertainment content.
"While this app provides seamless access to all things Disney, delivering unmatched entertainment and information directly to mobile devices, we're not simply recreating Disney.com on your iPhone or iPod touch," said Jason Davis, vice president, Disney.com. "Features like 'Click2Life' utilize iPhone's revolutionary functionality to create exciting new ways to interact with Disney characters and content."

Wordpress for iPhone 2: Mobile Blogging Just Got Easier
Friday, October 30, 2009
The new version of Wordpress for iPhone just arrived in the App Store (iTunes link). While the first version was already quite usable, this update brings a number of new features and usability enhancements to the Wordpress experience on the iPhone. The new interface makes it easier to switch between comments, posts and pages. The comments interface now also displays Gravatars. Throughout the app, the Wordpress team has tweaked the interface and it's now easier to manage your blog from the iPhone.
Features
The new version also now automatically saves posts and restores them if the network connection is lost during the publishing process.
Just like the first version, Wordpress for iPhone 2 is an open-source program.
It's important to note that this new version will not appear as an update to the old version. Instead, users will have to install a new app, which can run side-by-side with the older version.
The new version, of course, still offers the same basic feature set as the earlier version. These include support for multiple blogs, photo uploads and post previews, as well as full support for tags, categories and password protected posts.
Blogging on the iPhone
There can be little doubt that the iPhone - or any mobile phone for that matter - isn't the ideal platform for writing long, thoughtful blog posts. Maybe that's why Wordpress for iPhone 2 puts more emphasis on comment moderation than the first version.
For a quick blog post on the road, though, the app is perfectly adequate, especially if you just want to upload a few pictures. It's not as easy to use as the more specialized PicPosterous, but Wordpress for iPhone 2 is a far more flexible application and Wordpress has a different user in mind for this app.

What is the best industry for starting a new business ?
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Guess which industry is ranked 2nd on Inc magazine list of "Top industries for starting a business".
The full story is here.
Apple launched its App Store last summer, creating a whole new burgeoning industry in the process. Sales of apps in the first month topped $30 million, leading Steve Jobs to predict that the marketplace would be worth $1 billion some day. To date, companies have produced more than 30,000 applications, ranging from games such as Tap Tap Revenge to apartment-hunting help to tools for finding out the name of a song; in all, Apple has processed more than a billion downloads. To capitalize on the trend, venture-capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins have begun investing in app producers; the venerable Sand Hill Road firm has earmarked $100 million for the market.

Nasa releases iPhone application
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Nasa has released its own iPhone application, which allows users to view the space agency’s vast library of images and to track spacecraft in real time.
Astronomy geeks can also keep up to date with the Nasa Twitter feeds, watch Nasa videos and do their own countdowns to the big launches.
The app, available free through the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, has four functions – “Missions”, “Images”, “Video” and “Updates”.
It lets users see instantly where in the skies the International Space Station is, using a Google Maps-based system (at the time of writing it is over the North Pacific, just south of Alaska, moving towards the western United States and Mexico). If a Space Shuttle was flying, iPhone owners could track that too.
You can also use it to keep up to date with Constellation, the proposed Space Shuttle replacement. The Ares 1-X rocket, the first test rocket of the new mission, is expected to launch on 27 October.
It also provides an Image of the Day – currently a pre-launch shot of Ares 1-X – and an Astronomy Picture of the Day, currently a series of beautiful images of galaxies called Galaxy Zoo.
This is not the only app targeted at stargazing iPhone owners. Pocket Universe creates a planetarium within the iPhone, letting users see what constellations are visible from where they are.

Google Wave: Tips to run on iPhone
Thursday, October 15, 2009
If you got an iPhone and want to test Google Wave on it, there’re two ways to get Wave to work on your iPhone: First’s to go to wave.google.com using mobile Safari. Click through the warning, as it works well, as the site is optimized for Webkit-based browsers. You can select different conversation “waves” (or threads) and contacts, or dive into a specific wave.
To get rid of Safari wrapper to use web apps; save a Wave bookmark on your Home screen; clicking the icon takes you to Wave, but without the Safari wrapper which allows you to navigate to another page or search the Web. Instead, it looks more like a regular app and there’s no way to navigate away from it. Everything else works the same as in the mobile browser version. Google confirms that’s indeed the case, explained. When you bookmark Wave it launches in “app mode,” which’s an existing option for developers on the iPhone.

In-house Radio.app in the works for iPhone and iPod touch
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
We've just received a tip that an iPhone radio.app is being developed in-house by Apple for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. From what we know, the app will be allowed to operate in the background like iPod.app and will offer the same functionality as the FM radio in the new iPod Nanos.The source mentioned that this application could also be incorporated into the iPod.app before release.
The holdup on this app is that Apple is trying to integrate the Mobile iTunes Store purchases into the functionality of the program. For instance, if you like a song you are listening to on the radio (and that station supports tagging and you are in the US), you will be able to push a button and see the song (and all of the information around it) in the iTunes Mobile store. With another click, you'll be able to make a purchase. This is an extension of the Song Tagging feature used in the iPod Nanos. Perhaps they could even add some Shazam technology to help with those stations that don't support tagging.
Though it wasn't specified, the app will likely have the same Live Pause functionality that the Nanos currently enjoy.
Apple's iPods and iPhones have been able to receive FM radio signals for some time now. The latest generation of iPhone and iPod touch can even broadcast FM signal, for instance to a car stereo. The ability of the iPhone and iPod touch to receive FM signals has been used solely in the implementation of the Nike+ ecosystem to this point.
This wouldn't be the first time Apple awoke sleeping hardware functionality from its mobile products. Apple sometimes chooses to leave hardware features dormant in their products until they feel the time is right.For instance, Apple didn't enable Bluetooth in its 2nd generation iPod touch until 9 months after it was released. Apple also hasn't enabled the 802.11N +5GHZ wireless networking (which we also hope to see updated shortly) in its latest iPhone and iPods.
The addition of an FM radio would eliminate that advantage from the ZuneHD over Apple's line of Touch OSX products.

Adobe Debuts Photoshop Sharing App for iPhone
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Adobe has unveiled a strategic link in their social photo sharing experiment with the launch of Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone. This free photo editing thrill ride lets users revise and share photos with a simple but useful array of one-touch effects. The user interface is intuitive and easy to mange with minimal taps and zero lag time.
The app provides about 15 individual enhancements that include the popular crop, rotate and flip for images, plus soft focus, vignette blur, sketch and pop art as part of the gang. The ability to easily add and undo photo effects makes this app a threat to many $.99 iPhone applications charging for less of the same.
What Adobe seems to really be after here is building users for their Photoshop.com social photo sharing network. The app was appropriately named after the company's goal of attracting users to upload photos from their iPhone to manage and share, offering a direct Photoshop.com URL with sign-up. Once users get to Adobe's Beta website, the options to add photo effects and manage content are almost endless.
The online side at Photoshop.com already supports Windows Mobile devices along with the ability to upload, share and store videos as well. iPhone is only the latest addition to the party already in progress. Photoshop.com offers users 2.0 GB of storage free in the Basic plan along with slick, seamless integration for Flickr, Facebook, Picasa and Photobucket accounts.
Although Adobe is a tad late to the photo sharing social, drawing users to their online site via iPhone is a step in the right direction. I'm convinced that Adobe will need to add fresh effects on a semi-regular basis to keep iPhone users coming back to the app for return visits. All things considered, Adobe's photo editing app will be a hard one to beat. Did I mention it's free?

Flickr Comes To The Apple App Store
Wednesday, September 09, 2009
Flickr, Yahoo's photo sharing site, is rolling out an app for the iPhone, available now through Apple's App Store.
The free Apple iPhone app from Flickr was quietly released into the App Store before the weekend and provides the majority of the functions most users could want from the photo-sharing service. Photos can be taken and uploaded directly to the Web site, users can browse contacts and, for iPhone 3G S users, videos can be taken and uploaded as well.
The photo-sharing site knows that Apple's iPhone has long been one of its most popular cameras, which could be why Flickr rolled out the app. Regardless of the reason, iPhone users and amateur photogs are likely happy to see the white, red and blue icon available on their phone.
Yahoo didn't stop building features into the app, however. Users can also enter meta keywords, tag photos, as well as create and update photo sets. For users on the go, the Flickr app includes a geotagging feature that lets friends and contacts see exactly where a particular photo was taken.
Users can also comment on and forward favorite individual photos from the iPhone app without having to log in to a computer.
One of the pleasant surprises of the Flickr for iPhone App happens when users open the application. Photos from contacts and friends on the site play on the screen, letting friends stay in the loop and see what has recently been uploaded by people they care most about.
However, in limited use the app still appears to be a little bit flaky, and Yahoo may be working out some of the kinks. Using the app to take, tag and upload photos this morning has already resulted in at least two crashes for me since downloading it this morning. However, it's understandable since the Flickr app is still in version 1.0. But the goodwill Flickr has banked by releasing the app may diminish as quickly as will users' tolerance for lost photos and tags.

Wikipedia Lauches Official iPhone App
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the popular Wikipedia, just released its first official iPhone application for Wikipedia. Wikipedia Mobile, which is available for free in the App Store now (iTunes link), gives users access to iPhone-formatted Wikipedia articles. The truth, however, is that this isn't a very good application and doesn't really go beyond anything the regular mobile Wikipedia website doesn't already do. Indeed, the app is basically just a wrapper for the mobile Wikipedia site.
There are already a number of very good Wikipedia apps out there, including Taptu's Wapedia (iTunes link), Wikiamo (iTunes link) and Wikipanion (iTunes link). The official Wikipedia app doesn't add anything new here. While other apps at least include features like the ability to easily browse tables of content for apps and include in-page searching or the ability to save posts for offline reading, the official Wikipedia app doesn't feature any of these functions. The only 'advanced' feature in the app is its ability to track your browsing history.
Of course, this is only a first attempt and we laud the Wikipedia Mobile team for releasing this app as an open-source application. However, the fact that the search field is populated with "::Home" when you first open up the app shows that the app still needs a lot of polish before it can compete with the 'unofficial' apps. For now, if you just want a lightweight way of accessing Wikipedia articles from your phone and you don't want to install an app, just use the official mobile site

Bank Will Allow Customers to Deposit Checks by iPhone
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
The Internet has taken a lot of the paperwork out of banking, but there is no avoiding paper when someone gives you a check. Now one bank wants to let customers deposit checks immediately — through their phones.
USAA, a privately held bank and insurance company, plans to update its iPhone application this week to introduce the check deposit feature, which requires a customer to photograph both sides of the check with the phone’s camera.
“We’re essentially taking an image of the check, and once you hit the send button, that image is going into our deposit-taking system as any other check would,” said Wayne Peacock, a USAA executive vice president.
Customers will not have to mail the check to the bank later; the deposit will be handled entirely electronically, and the bank suggests voiding the check and filing or discarding it. But to reduce the potential for fraud, only customers who are eligible for credit and have some type of insurance through USAA will be permitted to use the deposit feature.

Ready to Port your iPhone App to Windows Mobile?
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
Hello, my name is Constanze Roman and I’m a Community PM with the Windows Mobile Community Team. If you’ve been curious about porting an iPhone app to the Windows Mobile platform, then I have exciting news for you! We have just published a new technical article on MSDN titled Porting the Amplitude Application from the iPhone to a Windows Mobile Device – a Case Study which outlines the real-world experiences of a developer who ported the popular Amplitude application.
Amplitude picks up any sound in a user’s surroundings through the microphone and then amplifies the sound, rendering it into a rich graphical representation on the device. Amplitude can be used to amplify any sounds, such as human or animal heartbeats, that usually wouldn’t be picked up by the human ear. Amplitude provides a cool user interface featuring an oscilloscope that allows users to view and visually quantify, signal voltages, as you can see the volume of the sound that you are listening to.
Amplitude is well suited for a porting project because it combines a rich user interface with features such as alpha blending and transparency with specific audio and sound requirements, which makes it challenging to port the app but, at the same time, provides a number of helpful learning experiences.

App Store Spearheads with 1.5 billion downloads in 1 year
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Apple 's app store has crossed a landmark with 1.5 billion apps downloaded from its App Store after its inception. The App Store is growing at an incredible pace with more than 65,000 apps and more than 1,00,000 developers in the iPhone Developer Program.
One of the factors that leads to the App Store’s growth is the size of its installed base i.e. 40 million iPhones and iPod touches. The other could be the variety and sheer quantity of applications to choose from i.e. 65,000, according to Apple’s press release.
In a Press Release, Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO said, “The App Store is like nothing the industry has ever seen before in both scale and quality. With 1.5 billion apps downloaded, it is going to be very hard for others to catch up.”
Apple's App Store has eclipsed its rivals in terms of its downloads volume, as the rate at which customers are buying the apps seems to be increasing day by day. The App Store is the most viable way for mobile developers to get their applications in front of customers. Its store is filled with programs that range from fake beer pouring apps to enterprise-grade programs from Oracle and Salesforce.
The popularity of the App Store has caused Apple's mobile rivals to launch their own solutions for letting users browse, buy, download, and install apps over the air. It may be even tougher for the competition to catch up because of the App Store's momentum, but rivals are taking different approaches to carve out their market share.

Quickoffice for iPhone update 1.2 brings predictive text and more
Sunday, May 31, 2009
Quickoffice was the first to launch an Office suite for the iPhone and as I wrote in my review I was pleased with most of the functionality in the software, but there were a couple of glaring issues that kept me from whole-heartedly recommending that application. I saw the version 1.2 update appear on my iPhone 3G this weekend and am pleased to report that this update included some MAJOR additions that leave me satisfied after paying $20 for the application. I still want to see email attachment support because that is how many documents pass through my mobile devices.
Here is the list of everything included in the Version 1.2 update:
Quickword
* Auto-correction (predictive text)! This is the biggest improvement in my eyes.
* Auto-capitalization
* Double-tap to create a period
* Adjust indentation level of bulleted/numbered lists and paragraphs
* Find text in docs
* Set paragraph alignment
* Easily view wide tables
Quicksheet
* Copy/paste cells, columns, rows, and cell ranges & formulas that are dynamically updated. This is another MAJOR improvement for my usage.
* Landscape editing
* Set/remove cell borders
* Edit font type & size
* Edit directly into a cell in portrait view
* Add, rename, delete, and reorder worksheets inside a single spreadsheet
* Set alignment with a cell
Quickoffice Files
* Bookmark last viewed position in non-editable documents
* Slideshow viewing of images in remote & local directories
As you can see, the folks at Quickoffice have been working hard to improve their product and have almost reached perfection (need that attachment support). I have used their Quickoffice product on S60 devices and think some of these issues they are working through are related to the sandboxing that Apple does in the OS that keeps developers locked out of areas they may have had access to on other platforms.
Remember that Quickoffice lets you edit, create, and view Word and Excel files. You can view Office 2007 (.DOCX and .XLSX) files now and in a future update you will be able to edit and create them as well. A free update also coming soon will allow you to access your email attachments and send them to the Quickoffice application (Apple doesn’t give you file access so developers have to come up with workarounds.

Yahoo Upgrades iPhone App for Voice Search
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Mobile searchers have another resource at their fingertips, this time in the form of Yahoo's updated iPhone app, which now includes voice-recognition search capabilities. Yahoo's oneSearch functions much like the Google iPhone app: users press a button and verbalize what they're looking for -- and hope it understands British accents.
Yahoo's iPhone app consolidates everything you need from the group: news, mail, messenger, video, and so on. With its new voice search function, Yahoo's app is now almost exactly like Google's, so the choice to download one or the other is now a question of brand loyalty and where your Web e-mail address is hosted.
The upgrade comes in the shadow of Yahoo's decision to abandon an application that stretches across all smartphones. The company decided to focus its efforts on the iPhone and the mobile Web browser experience rather than crafting all-in-one apps for individual smartphones.

AT&T Introduces 'myWireless Mobile' App.
Wednesday, May 06, 2009
There's a new app out for all you iPhone loving Apple junkies out there. And, while this one actually has nothing to do with Apple, it'll still make all of your lives a little bit easier. AT&T has just released a free app called 'myWireless Mobile' that allows users to access and manage their phone accounts from the comfort and convenience of their iPhones.
An app like this is long overdue, and it's honestly a little boggling that AT&T didn't already have something like this ready back when the iPhone was first launched. While the tardiness is annoying, AT&T looks to have produced a very useful app that will allow their legions of iPhone customers to access their myWireless service with greater ease than ever before.
myWireless Mobile will include the ability to make one-touch payments, as well as view their voice and data use for the month. Users will also have the option of upgrading or otherwise altering their service plans from the Mobile storehouse. Plan holders will be able to view individual phone data/call usage, as well as see the group's total usage.

Apple to reveal next generation of iPhone software
Monday, March 16, 2009
Tomorrow, yes tomorrow Apple is going to provide a peep at its newest tech fiddling for the iPhone.
It’s in news from some sources that "Get an advance preview of what we're building” is being said. It is also said that Apple will be using the events which are to be held at company headquarters so as to talk to the SDK (Software Development Kit) and which in turn will help the independent engineers in writing the applications for the device, and for discussing the features of the new iPhone 3.0 operating system.
The last week’s iPod shuffle redesign, which included a "talking" function, could provide a hint for new iPhone capabilities. It is supposed that making iPhone calls easy while driving will be possible because Apple is going to add speech recognition functions which is the demand of many users.
More updates will also be there like including a better way for consumers so as to navigate the App Store and a new iPhone Safari browser. It is expected that whatever be the changes that Apple is planning to proclaim will be considerable. Also it is expected that features like universal search or a new user interface will also be there.
In an investor report also this is said that "Apple may be settling into an annual summer hardware refresh cycle with the iPhone, similar to the iPod's fall refresh cycle.
All of us know that iPhone’s physical design, its multi-touch display and 3.5- inch screen were also revolutionary in the mobile-phone industry but the iPhone’s software will make future innovation.

Hulu.com, devices like the Slingbox and Netflix's oft-discussed move to a streaming video model show that customers are more interested in viewing content at their leisure and on a device of choice.
With the iPhone's Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities bringing television to the device, the question of whose screen is big enough not to make viewing a strain is a no-brainer.
