Whether you happen to have steel walls or live where there are no cell phone towers or trees cleverly disguised as cell phone towers , some of us must deal with the reality that, while we own arguably the most innovative gadget in recent years in the iPhone, we may not have had the best carrier to accompany it. One way to address this “bag of hurt” is through the Skype iTunes link app. If you don’t already have the Skype app, download it — it’s a free download in the App Store . Next, you’ll need to make sure that Skype stays online when the screen is locked

7 Aug 2009Filed under: Gaming , Software , Developer , iPhone , App Store , SDK Apple’s iPhone simulator built into Xcode is nice, but it doesn’t completely replicate the actual feel of playing with an iPhone (not to mention that things like multitouch and accelerometer info can’t be tested on screen). Enter iSimulate , a new app from a company called vimov. In conjunction with a program on your Mac, it allows you to take the input (including multitouch and accelerometer) of an iPhone, and wirelessly connect it to an app running on your monitor . The effect, as you can see above, is basically an iPhone controlling a big-screen app. Which has all sorts of possibilities.

21 Jul 2009Filed under: App Review When I tried to take fourth of July fireworks pictures at Jones Beach on Long Island, I was too far away from the action to get anything really good. My iPhone 3GS turned the spectacular flashes of color into small colorful specks and I realized that what this camera needed was a zoom function. I looked for one and found Camera Zoom from Kenditech which we covered last April . The problem was that it wouldn’t work with OS 3.0. I did find a few apps that I thought would help like Zipix Lite , which purported to zoom, but really only enlarged and cropped the picture giving me less than acceptable results
Filed under: Software , iPhone , App Store For some, the recently released iTennis game in the iTunes App Store looked extremely familiar — that’s because it was a rather blatant ripoff of code provided by the iCodeBlog , a site known for its free iPhone coding tutorials. The original tutorial , written by Brandon Trebitowski, was apparently compiled and submitted by Peter Sheen of BlaBlaIncTech and placed on sale for $.99USD on iTunes in late May. Trebitowski revealed the theft through iCodeBlog yesterday, and Jonathan Siegel got in touch with us regarding the situation. As response has gotten out through iCodeBlog, there has been a backlash through both BlaBlaIncTech’s site and the App Store
Filed under: Apple , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch What a difference a year makes. Apple has a promo on the store (yes, iTunes link ahoy) with their gushing congratulations to themselves and the App Store for the 1-year anniversary of Cupertino’s bold experiment.
The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.
