Fake Calls: It pretends a call in your iPhone

Fake Calls serves to pretend that they are calling to you to iPhone. A pair of situations is happened to us in which it could be useful:

* Typical the false call of emergencia that becomes in the American films when el/la prota is in an appointment and does not like its pair and wants it to go out running.
* In order to fardar with your friendly of which Elsa Pataky calls to you, or Steve Jobs, or who your you want.

The program requests the data to you of the call, it asks to you which you want that it is the name of the person who calls to you, within how long you want that the call jumps by all means, if you want that the telephone vibrates, and, to choose a photo.

When you have everything formed, him DAS to the button of the application, and iPhone is put in delay way until the call jumps.

It has many things that could be improved. For example, the photo that is chosen is so that it leaves basic iPhone, and that same photo leaves when the call jumps, does not leave the photo the contact. As certainly the program is successful, they will already improve it.

By the way, also touch works in iPod, you will be able to vacillate to some friend who will think that your iPod touch accepts calls.

Flick Sports Fishing for iPhone

Flick Fishing is a wonderful game of fishing. It consists indeed of that, fishing using ours iPhone.

First that there is to say, totally besides the way to fish, or the options of the game, are that environment adjustment is impeccable. The water of each scene moves enough with realism, and the sound is spectacular.

In the pool we heard the ducks, the frogs, and fishing in the coast we heard the gulls, the sirens of the boats… is done of wonder, although the best thing is the sound when throwing the cane, is very surprising the good that everything has acclimated it.

We begin to fish. You will realize of which this game has won to you totally at the moment at which you throw the cane. It is necessary to make the gesture with the arm as if you were throwing a cane really, and simultaneously you will hear the sound, exactly just as with a cane really. That sensation is the best thing of the game.

The first scene is very simple to practice, the fish itch right away, and they do as soon as it, appear three important things in the screen:

* The spool, that we must use with the finger, to gather or to loosen sedal.
* The measurer of tension of the line.
* The measurer of the force with which it throws the fish.

In order to remove the fish from the water we must gather the spool, but with well-taken care of: if we make too much fast when the fish is throwing, the sedal will be tightened, and it will be broken. In that case it is necessary to loosen a little, to relax the tension, is necessary to have patience and to give him little by little.

We can choose the type of bait, and depending del that we choose, we will take a type of fish or another one. In each scene the type of fish that we can take is different. The difficulty varies, is fish that are very easy to remove, and some throw with as much force that becomes very difficult to take them without breaking the sedal.

As far as the game ways, we can either fish without the more, or fish against somebody. It can be a friend who is with us, passing to us iPhone to throw each once, or with another one iPhone in local network. Also it is possible to be played against the computer.

They are left from three minutes, in which we will have to take the maximum number of fish that we pruned. Later the weight of all the captures is added, and the one that more weight obtains, wins.

When we take a fish becomes a photo, and it is added to the gallery of fish, ne the one that we will be able to see all the types of fish which we have been able to capture. In addition, we can presume of the capture, sending by email to our contacts the photo of the fish.

Simple, original, done well, and in addition cheap, 0.79 Euros. I do not know to what you hope to buy it.

Weightbot for iPhone, controls day to day your weight

Weightbot is a program very practitioner and frankly realised well. We like much this type of applications that solve a specific necessity, with style (good design, ease of use) and to a reasonable price.

In this case, one is to take a control of your weight. The program requests your height (to calculate the Index of Corporal Mass) and the weight to you at which you want to arrive. Every day you introduce the weight by means of an interface that is resembled a scale, and that it has as departure point the weight of the previous day.

In addition, Weightbot does graphs to you of the variation to daily, weekly weight and monthly, it shows to you far or close that you are of your objective, and in agreement with the IMC it warns to you if you have overweight or if, on the contrary, you are too thin.

If you need, or you like, to take the control of your weight, we recommended it to you.

Monopoly game for iPhone

Monopoly is the official adaptation of this game that certainly you know, since they say that it is the sold table game more than it exists.

We have enjoyed much playing this version, but we must say that it has cost to us “to enter the game” so to speak. The first impression is a little chaotic, and although there are advice the first time, some actions have been to us little intuitive.

Sometimes it gives a a little claustrofóbica sensation to see how the cards in first plane move, since we do not have an aerial view and we do not know very well where he is everyone.

Another one beats is that if you have never played this board game and do not have nor idea of what it goes, I suppose that you are going to be very lost at the outset, but this we suppose that it would happen with any other game.

On the other hand, the grace of this game is to count tickets with the hands and enseñárselos to the player of alongside with face of cachondeo, abanicarte with them, etc… but by the others are all the wonderful one that it can be an adaptation for iPhone of a board game.

They are possible to be played up to four players, controlled by iPhone or people, and it is even possible to be played with an friend who is in the same network WiFi that we. She is one suffers, but it is not possible to be played by Internet, that yes that would be well.

The intelligence of the rivals can be formed from the 1 to the 3, we have played in the two against three players and they have given a good beating us.

All the subject to negotiate or is done, you can offer interchanges of properties, or add money to the treatment. The interface of the changes has remembered the NBA to us Live, to the typical screen to interchange players.

He is a little expensive, but once you are accustomed to the game way, he is brilliant. If you like the Monopoly, this adaptation is wonderful and certainly you are going to him to put hours.

Fieldrunners for iPhone

Fieldrunners is the best game of all the App Store. Either it is, I have said or it.

The objective of the game is to protect our door, through which they dealed with to pass a pile soldaditos, helicopters and bichejos generally. In order to protect it, we will have to put towers of defense of estretégica way.

There are four types of towers, that make damage to the enemies more or less, but we do not have all the money of the world to put of most expensive. The money obtains killing the enemies, and it is never sufficient, which causes that you must be constructing your idea of defense little by little.

The subject is to create a species of labyrinth to force those enemies to that they spend several times through where interests to us, by where we have the most powerful towers, for example, without neglecting the center of the board, since the helicopters happen superficially, by the center.

There are two different maps. In the first enemies they leave by the left and they try to conquer our door to the right. In the second the thing is put worse, they leave by above and the left, and are two doors that to defend, down and to the right.

The enemies come in swelling, the objective is to surpass the big wave number 100, without they pass 20 enemies altogether. As soon as we conquer that big wave number 100, we will unblock the endless way, in which they will continue leaving enemy until we exceed those 20 failures.

We have arrived at the 149, after hours and hours, desperation, he distresses, labyrinths bankrupts and to until death hate the inventor of the helicopter.

Along with Fuzzle, and Enigmo, for us this game is the best one than we have tried, is incredibly addictive, you are not going away to regret to buy it.

Chess Classics for iPhone

We wanted to speak of a good game of chess, and Chess Classics has been our chosen one. These have been the reasons that have taken to us to choose this game:

* It is in Castilian.
* It is of gameloft, a well-known company.
* He is not gratuitous, it occupies 72 MB, something will have.
* The commentaries in the store were not too bad, but of this not you can FIAR much, we could refute right now almost all the you beat that they put to him.

Without to have proven more games of chess, Chess Classics does not seem to us nothing bad. It goes ahead that we are not expert in the subject, but we have enjoyed a few games and we do not have any complaint.

There are 9 levels of difficulty, in the third simplest one has cost to us to win enough, we have done but it. We have used the aid, that is two: reverse gear can be given, and we can consult a suggestion on our next movement.

When the game detects the type of opening that we are using, or our opponent he notifies, it with a message, is a very pleasant detail.

The view in two or three dimensions can be used, being able to turn the board of free way with the fingers, so that we can see the view that we like more.

There are four games of different pieces, although we have liked plus first, with wood pieces.

As far as the game ways, we can play against the computer, against a friend, happening to us iPhone, and are other two ways of game: puzzles and started off classic.

Puzzles is small riddles like which they appeared in the newspaper, the typical one “plays white and gives mate in two”.

The classic games are recreations of historical games, with commentaries, so that we can know and analyze those games of pleasant way.

The game includes an unexpected extra: Backgammon. It is a pity that we do not have nor idea of how one gambles this game, and cannot deciros great thing exceeds he, but the graphical aspect is at the level of the chess. It seems that we have secured two games at the cost of one.

SlotZ Racer for iPhone

SlotZ Racer is a recreation for your iPhone of a classic one of your childhood, than you asked to him the kings, if you have more than 30 years: the archifamoso Scalextric.

By the sight in the world of the fans to this type of races they do not call Scalextric, call slots, races of slots, cars of slot.

The game is exactly that, a track with rails on which your car goes and those of your competitors. In order to advance we have a single control, that is a control to accelerate, and are no more complications.

The ability of the game consists of accelerating the maximum possible time, considering that if it beams during the curves, are probable that your car leaves the track. There are two methods of control: the digital control and the analogical one.

With the digitalis, when we beat accelerates to top, and when we loosen, it restrains to top. With the analogical one we can accelerate a guaranteed amount, moving the finger above or down in the screen. This method is more effective and precise, but much more difficult to control.

There are three types of view, a camera that are moved according to we advanced, the aerial view in which all the circuit is seen, and a view in first person, from the car. Most useful it is first, the aerial view sees too small, and the view in first person is well because you see how the car in the curves goes away but it has not finished to us convincing.

The game has the typical ways of game of all game of races, championships, races of resistance per time, or returns, and but the peculiar thing is that they are possible to be simultaneously played up to four players with the same iPhone.

In order to play four simultaneously, it leaves a control in each corner iPhone, for each player. We do not have four friendly by hand, but it very has dot of being entertained to throw races.

There is infinity of details more, nocturnal races, unblockeds re-fuellings, cars and circuits, chicannes… and in case this seems to you little, publisher of circuits, you do so that them to your pleasure.

In addition we can update our state in social networks like Twitter or Facebook. But most interesting of everything, we will be able to call to our contacts by means of voice commandos.

They make it clear to the developers: this game is designed to play in multitactile interfaces, and not with traditional controls. Really, thus they would have to be the majority of the games for iPhone, moving away a little the conventional thing to take advantage of to the maximum the capacities the device.

The game carries out Lizzie, The Friendly Ninja, Benny the Bear, Recyclable Man and other originating personages of a distant planet, that when exploding distributed, them by the galaxy. Now, all must be, while they survive a world with other physical laws.

The used motor on which Sway is based makes use of real physical laws to simulate the gravity of our planet, as well as the movements of all the personages or objects of the game. It only is to hope to his exit in the App Store to be able to enjoy it!

Microsoft wants to emulate to “iPhone” in Windows Mobile

Battle by operating systems for telephones movable has turned into one of great confrontations technological of next years, due to enormous volume of users that very contributes this industry, that already clears the threshold of the 4,000 million subscribers anywhere in the world, over the 1,500 million PC. Between the giants that compete in this war without quarter they find groups like Microsoft, Nokia, Google, Apple or RIM.

Microsoft, the leader of software for PC, is not wanted to be back and prepares the launching of new version 6.5 of its operating system Windows Mobile, that will present/display in the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona, the next February, according to the technological Web Ars Technica. The new version will try to emulate some of the characteristics that iPhone has incorporated 3G, the telephone of Apple, presented/displayed 11 of July the past.

Most important it is the inclusion of a store online for applications, denominated provisionally SkyMarket, that will allow the independent developers to hang of that Web its developments, that could be acquired directly by the users.

One is a version of the successful AppStore of iPhone. To the six months of its launching, the AppStore has been having available more than 15,000 applications, of payment as as much gratuitous, of which the clients already have unloaded 500 million units, 200 million more than for only a month. This success has triggered a legion of imitadores. Google will have something similar in its system denominated Android Android Market, whereas RIM includes in their Blackberry a called channel of sale StoreFront.

World-wide synchronization

Another one of the great new features of Windows Mobile 6,5 is the SkyBox, a system that will allow to anywhere synchronize the moving body with the PC of the user of the world, to maintain updated mail, calendar and contacts, as well as to store online videos, photos and other contents.

The SkyBox, that will have a professional version for companies, denominated SkyLive, is a similar system to which it sent iPhone with his MobileMe. These services, that initially would only be available for telephones with Windows will be abrirán, foreseeably, to other platforms throughout this year.

Apple: the best results of the sector

It announced the numbers of the last fiscal trimester. Their actions rose to U$ 89.50 and make a counterbalance to so many refusals of the technological sector.

In surroundings where the bad news abound and the businesses crumble, Apple marks the difference. Surprise it announced his results corresponding to the first trimester of 2009, in which sample that their actions rose a 8.1%.

The quarterly gains arrived at the US$ 1,610 million and the income reached the US$ 10,170 million. The creator of iPhone is one of the exceptions of the market, since he obtained, with a growth of 34.7% with respect to the previous year, to obtain results records of the history of the company in the first fiscal trimester.

In the last quarterly, Apple sold more than 2 million computers, 22 million deiPods and 4 more than 4 million of iPhones anywhere in the world. In each sector it represents a growth of 9%, 3% and 98% respectively.

During the press conference in that the results appeared, the executives of Apple commented some plans to future, like the idea to continue investing in Apple TV, the idea to add physical stores of Apple Store in the world, and the kind analysis that do on the market of netbooks.

Apple analyzes with demanding to which they use the Touch technology

A new center that of insurance will finish in North American courts finishes leaving in the light of part that is reeemplazando to Steve Jobs in Apple.

Tim Cook, said to the agency of the Reuters news that its company would use all arms to fight against whatever them “it robs” his intellectual property.

On the individual, the preoccupation of Apple (aside from which Jobs of recovers) is to try to armor the technology touch, but essentially the company/signature must be protected on the applications created on the basis of touch, because in strict rigor that technology already existed several years ago and the merit of the manufacturer of the manzanita has been the power to print new and attractive functions to him.

In that sense, the people of Palm allege with certain degree of reason when indicating that “Apple was not first in developing the multitactile one”. The company/signature finishes sending a new called model Pre, which uses similars characteristic to iPhone of Apple.

Pre, that is based on a new operating system of Palm, is a telephone highly hoped that the analysts see like the unique opportunity of the company to compete with Apple and other rivals, like Blackberry de Research in Motion.

Phonesuit Mili Power Pack for iPhone, more battery for your iPhone

The new accessory of Phonesuit for your iPhone, the Phonesuit Mili Power Pack, remembers without a doubt the FastMac to us IV, only that much more turns out to be pleasant in view, although it does not triple the battery of the telephone.

With only introducing iPhone in the Phonesuit Mili Power Pack you are connecting, it to a battery of 1,800 mAh that will contribute to you up to 350 hours of standby, 6 hours of conversation or navigation by Internet by means of 3G, of conversation by means of connection EDGE of navigation by means of Wi-Fi and up to 28 hours of audio 8 and 7 hours, 12 hours reproduction of video.

In addition, the Phonesuit Mili Power Pack incorporates a mini-USB port in case you need to load some other apparatus aside from the telephone. Nothing badly, your. He will be in favor available of 80 dollars (60 Euros to the change) as of morning in 8 different designs, that since we have already commented, they do not only force to cargarte all the sex-appeal to you of iPhone because you need more battery.

iPhone begins to touch ceiling

The sales of the telephone of Apple have fallen in the USA a 24% during the last trimester.

Apple has registered a fall of the sales of 24% during the fourth trimester with respect to the previous trimester, in agreement with a study published by Morgan Stanley.

It was evident that the sales of iPhone could not maintain their spectacular rate in a climate of economic deceleration and surroundings with new competitors who have scored in fashion of the touch screen.

The report points a total of 1.75 million of iPhones in the USA, a number enough inferior to 2.3 million sold in the Q3.

As it publishes Allyinsider, it seems that these data square with the expectations of Wall s$street, although will be necessary to hope that Apple today makes public its results of the last trimester.

Apple explores the self-regulation of the tones of iPhone

Apple is exploring the possibility of adding a sensor of environmental sound iPhone that it would allow the telephone to fit the volume of the tone to the environmental sound surrounds that it, that would diminish potentially annoying tones. In a patent published for the first time Tuesday, Apple makes notice that apparatuses like movable televisions, computers and telephones more and more are used in different atmospheres for intentions from businesses and entertainment. , Nevertheless in agreement the apparatuses are used more and more, their exits of audio become more able to bother other people.

“For example, a user who later fits the volume of his tone for noisy atmospheres could move more to a shut up atmosphere, where the high tone could bother,” it explains the request. “Similar, to ignite a computer in a classroom in silence or house it could be in a too high sound.

Alternatively, a sound fit for shut up atmospheres could not be noticed in noisy atmospheres. “
Therefore, Apple recommends that the electronics of the future and iPhones use a sound sensor to fit their sounds to the atmosphere in which they are. During an operation of routine, the telephone would use the sound sensor to determine the sound level being based on the level of determined environmental sound.

Besides iPhones and televisions, the sound adjustment could be applied to a laptop before the beginning sequence. In this case, the circuit of sound process would begin to immediately consider the environmental sound after the ignition, that later would be given to the operating system.
Connections of sound that are cleaned single

Separately, a clear second was published Thursday that essentially details methods to clean connections in portable electronics which they could have accumulated dust during the daily use.

A method would be to design a connection with a hollow channel - an entrance in the opposed side of the connection by which air can be applied - and a serious one of one or more openings at the end of the connection that are in communication with the hollow channel by which it can leave the air.

Short cuts for iPhone and iPod touch

Justificar a ambos ladosThe possessors of iPhone or iPod touch, besides enjoying them as simple form as to touch the touch screen with a finger, has many more combinations to take a short cut helped of bellboys and fingers.

Although not is the same telephone of Apple iPhone that his reproductive multimedia iPod touch, if it is certain that they share many things, from his similar design to the touch screen, passing of course, through the operating system and many of the programs that use both. But it is not necessary to forget that one is a telephone (and 3G) and the other no, and so the connections to the different networks can vary substantially, in addition are several models (generations call to them) of both. In any case, the majority of short cuts and ways to make the things, that I am going to expose next, usually are common to all the models, whenever they have installed the last update.

iTUNES

Of all it is known that iTunes is the program of Apple necessary to communicate with anyone of them and to conduct any battle. Although, everything is necessary to say it, is one that uses other tools not so officials to take control of the control of the apparatus. In this case, it is possible that many can be done more things, some of different form and other that do not work equal, but in spite of it, the majority of short cuts and recommendations are effective. And to begin the best thing it is to bring up to date itself, connecting themselves to iTunes and updating it everything. In this way two very important things are obtained, the update of all the system in himself (goes by the 2,2) and one backup of the majority of the adjustments of iPhone or iPod touch, as they are the unloaded applications and another information like contacts, calendars, notes, and images in the photographic roll. But much eye, music, the video and the other photographies are not included in that copy, will have to keep them from another form. If it wishes to recover the backup, more click, or click with the right button makes Control, in the icon with form of iPhone or iPod touch located to the left of the window of iTunes and selects Backup or To recover backup.

Copy Screen

One of the resources that I use more in this section are the copy screen calls, or the capture of an image than has in the screen. When a computer is used, the own system usually brings some application and some short cut of the keyboard to do it. In this case, to make a capture also there is a short cut, one is due to maintain pressed the beginning button and at the same time to press the rest button/activation. As a confirmation, the screen goes to make a sparkle of white color and soon it will return to normality. All the screen captures are stored automatically and been able to see in the album Photos kept from the application Photos. If soon they are sent by electronic mail, will arrive in format jpg.

MOST BASIC

Thanks to their touch screen, all the actions are realised touching the screen with one or more fingers and pressing one or two of the bellboys of beginning and rest and/or activation. Most elementary it is, once ignited, to be called on upon the icon of the application that is desired to activate, and soon to follow the same process to be abriendo the different sections. Another basic function is the one to extend or to reduce what it is, abriendo or closing two thumbs put and index as a a tiny amount. In order to move by a coarse screen with moving the so fast or slow finger as it is desired. But more express can be gone. For example, if you want to extend of fast form an area of a page Web, simply it makes a double touches in that area. If it wants to only go quickly at the beginning of the page it must give to a touch in the part superior of his screen right under the clock. If it maintains the finger upon a connection, a ventanita transparency with the destiny direction will be abrirá to him.

TO CLOSE IT EVERYTHING

Sometimes several applications are being used although in the screen only is the last one activated. If one forgets that they are working and they are not closed, they will consume more energy and the battery will finish before. In order to leave all, simply it is necessary to maintain pressed the central button during seconds until it returns to appear the screen of beginning. In opposed sense, if the button is pressed twice consecutive, the immediate access to the controls for music is obtained, even being in rest with the black screen.

WRITING-DESK TO SIZE

If one stays pressed during moments any icon of the main writing-desk, will see that all begin to shake, this indicates that now it can move them and order them as it likes more, and when it only finishes it must click in the central button. If it does the same with any letter of the keyboard, will see that they appear the accents and symbols associated to that letter. It only must move the finger and choose the symbol or wished accent. In the case of the .com key, when pressed maintaining it they appear different dominions, like .es or .fr according to the associate language.

FAST NAVIGATION

Safari keeps in the File the directions already visited, so when it is wanted to return to one from them, it is only necessary to click in the icon of favorites (+) in the part inferior of the screen; there, we will select File and click in the wished connection. Also, if one begins to write any word in Safari, it will show all a list of direct suggestions of navigation.

TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO

One of the things that always have lain down in lack in iPod is the radio. It was necessary to buy an external element to be able to accede to the FM. Then already there is a solution through his connection to the Network, whether has access through Wi-Fi, like using his connection with iPhone, visits the www.flytunes.fm page, it unloads the program adapted to his model and, after registering itself properly, it will have access to hundreds of radio transmitters grouped by subjects. Something similar can do if it visits www.seeqpod.com, in the access page will already show several options to him search of music, of a form very similar to the navigation of the music stored within its own iPod. The addict ones to the instantaneous mail free have connection connections from www.meebo.com/iphone to all this type of networks, like Yahoo!, Live (MSN), Google Talk or Meebo.

iBreath for iPhone, alcoholmeter and transmitter of radio FM

If you drink, you do not lead. And if you have doubts, it uses east alcoholmeter for iPod and iPhone. One is iBreath, a small alcoholmeter that we will be able to take to any side. But, as already several portable devices of blood level of alcohol test exist, his designer David Steele has wanted to make it different from the others. For that reason a transmitter FM to listen to ours is addition to him iPod or iPhone in the car or any minichain with radio. And without needing cables.

In order to verify the alcohol level that we have in blood, it is only necessary to connect it to iPhone or iPod, that will be the one in charge to give battery him so that it works. Later, a button is pressed and it is blown by the fuze of iBreath during at least 5 seconds. The result will be by the screen LCD that incorporates, in only 2 seconds. In case we exceed the allowed limit, it counts on a timer, programmable from 1 minute to 8 hours. This will allow us to program when we want to make the following test until we can to lead.

As far as the radio transmitter it will serve, us to listen to the music of iPod or iPhone through the radio. That is to say, if our car has a tuner of radio FM, we will be able to connect it without needing cables. The transmitter will emit music by radio waveses FM, to a certain frequency. So, to listen to we will only have it to tune the same frequency assigned in the radio. Clear that, it agrees to clarify that this type of transmitters by radio does not work well in the great cities. Mainly when there is many transmitters and the dial of the radio is very competed.

In addition it counts on a shipper for the car, so that we pruned to listen to music without ending the battery. And there is no compatibility problem, because it works with all the models of iPhone and iPod that has left until the moment. The price, 80 dollars, that to the present change are little more than 55 Euros.

He is without a doubt one of the designed most useful complements until the moment, but it has some you beat. For example, that does not have interchangeable fuzes for the alcoholmeter. And, what has been said, if you drink, you do not lead, unless they are only iBeers.

Fonejackerhacker, to amplify iPhone with an old telephone

iPhone makes a trip to the past. Fonejackerhacker is a base of load with loudspeakers for iPhone. But a base inspired by the design of the telephones of wheel of years 40. One is a homemade device created by M. Booth that, in spite of their appearance retro, has put him the last technology. Until a wireless control to control iPhone at a distance.

In addition, the base takes a loudspeaker of ten watts underneath the rotatory numeric keypad of the old telephone. And two loudspeakers more inlaid in the earpiece of three watts each. We can see it in operation in the following video…



In case this outside little, the designer also has including a control panel in the lateral one, and an infrared receiver that the signal of the control receives at a distance. This way, we will be able to choose between directly controlling iPhone from the base or using the control at a distance. The program that makes the Fonejackerhacker with iPhone compatible has been programmed by the same designer of the product.

In the page Web of the creator it gives some tracks us by means of images exceeds how we can do our own one. A work that, according to its creator, would take a considered time to us of 7 hours.

Of the device two models have been only made different, one in red one and another one in black. It is not a commercial product. Therefore, he is not available for his purchase at the moment. But, who knows if some company cheers up to make it.

Apple and NVIDIA Ion

The functions of Apple TV are not intensive in central processing, when a graphical processor with capacity to accelerate video - like all cards at present - and in the present is had, this apparatus occupies old hardware, that consumes more energy, is greater and it is warmed up more than the existing options nowadays.

On the other hand, a combination of chipset NVIDIA + processor Intel Atom, is economic and powerful than the present one. Briefly, they would make more money, their clients would be happier and goes of the hand with the policy to standardize hardware and ecological products of the engineers and neckties of 1 Infinite Loop.

This taking a new edge, after which Tom's Hardware will indicate that Apple has been having Ion prototypes enough for a long time in its offices. After to me to have joined with the people of NVIDIA in Fertile valleys, I am certainly this is real, nevertheless I generate hurried conclusions that it seems to me are little possible: that the mini Mac occupies Ion.

I am convincing that Apple will not make this decision and the reason is simple, although would be an update to the graphical capacity of the computer of entrance of the apple, in the best one of the things, the processing of the Atom top of line for writing-desk - model 330 of double nucleus - is quite smaller to the one of movable the 2 Cores Pair who occupy at present. If it will get to happen that Apple occupied Ion in the mini Mac, would be an one step back and would be mistaken, since clearly what the mini ones needs is a 2 combination of chipset NVIDIA and Cores Pair and the price difference is not greater.

What if we could see and serious tuna very, it is a Netbook based on Atom and Ion of the hand of Apple. Nobody I consider this?

Cubase RC for iPhone

Steinberg has presented/displayed a new application for iPhone and iPod called Touch Cubase RC that allows to control Cubase 5 via wifi. It owns a view of transport with several options of control and centered other for interpretation in direct, cradle in the technology SKI (Steinberg Kernel Interface), and works as much in Windows as in Mac.

The transport view owns functions like bellboys to reproduce, to stop, to advance, to rewind, a button for cycles, markers, control of metrónomo and a dedicated line of time.

The interpretation view allows to interpret fragments of your live compositions being shot them from a special section with triggers assignable.

Cubase RC will be available exclusively from the App Store in the second quarter of year.

iFlyz, iPhone + airplane

Justificar a ambos ladosIf you have iPod or iPhone or similar and have taken a flight lately, you do not lie to me. You have tried to see a film in him, and I assume that without a good result. Why? Because estarte two hours then holding the apparatus in the suitable position is, not to say it otherwise, an annoyance. Thanks to God already you have here iFlyz.

iFlyz is not more than a structure of the type hold-the-GPS-AGAINST-THE-windshield, but devised to hold the telephone or reproducer, so that your you do not have tumbarte more and to enjoy (inside what a screen of 3 inches allows) the spectacle.

As you can verify in the image, the apparatus incorporates an adjustable clamp you place so that it where goodly you want, and a patented system of cupping glass that will hold any apparatus whose later part is plastic or metallic. I am afraid that with according to which model of Blackberry, like the Bold and its later part of skin, you will have to continue using your control like clamp. Yours by 30 dollars, 22 Euros to the change.

iRa Pro for iPhone, only 900 dollars!!

And no, he is not to wallpaper of 1,000 dollars! One is a very specific application and that has a very small market, iRa Pro is called, had a price of 899,99 dollars and it only serves to see and to control the servant Milestone Enterprise XProtect for cameras of security IP of certain marks and models, everything from iPhone and iPod Touch.

With the application they are possible to be moved the cameras and to be acceded to the recordings of the servant, reason why he is ideal for people in charge of security of great companies that need to have access to that vision from his iPhone.

Prepares Apple new iPhone?

Smartphone of Apple could implement a new protocol with which to multiply its rate of data transfer.

Less than a year iPhone 3G has become one of smartphones more used anywhere in the world. Apple wants to continue with this tendency and is engaging engineers specialized in HSUPA, a protocol of data for networks of movable telephony whereupon the one that to reach a rate of transference of ascent of up to 7.2 Mbits per second.

Protocol HSUPA or High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (ascending Access of packages at high speed) is a evolution of the HSDPA or High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, with which it would be possible be abrir to a new field in applications of voice and data that would take advantage of the potential networks IP through smartphones like iPhone.

In spite of the indications, still he is uncertain that this movement of Apple supposes the introduction of this technology in its popular device iPhone.

Applications free for iPhone

Apple offers in its virtual store an increasing number of programs without cost for its movable telephone; also they are compatible with iPod Touch. They take advantage of the sensible screen to the tact and the accelerometer to add functions to the equipment.

n last June, Apple inaugurated App Store, the store with which offers applications for iPhone and iPod Touch. It is the unique official method to add tools to these equipment, and has been very popular: already there are ten thousand applications available in this service; many are payments, but there is a great number of programs free available to unload and to make the device more useful.

The installation process is very simple. When connecting for the first time the equipment to iTunes (the software of management of the device, unloading of www.apple.com/la/itunes/) the application will offer the access to the store, call there iTunes Store. In order to unload the applications it will be necessary to register itself. It is enough with a valid direction of electronic mail and a password. If it is desired to acquire programs it will be necessary to have a credit card of international validation.

The store offers a cover that lists recommended and popular applications, besides including a finder and a directory with the programs organized by subject. When choosing an application will be necessary to click on the button Get App to initiate the unloading to the computer, that soon will install the application in the equipment. Attractive of iPhone and iPod Touch is that also they can accede to the store from the same equipment, whenever they have a connection to Internet, beating the icon App Store. Here, to unload an application one is due to beat on the virtual button that says to Free or its price, according to is the case, and soon in Install; this will initiate the unloading of the application to the device. The applications eliminate of the device using iTunes or pressing in continuous form (in iPhone or iPod Touch) the icon of the application until this one shakes and it appears to him a button with an X alongside.

In www.148apps.com and www.freshapps.com there are reviews of the applications approved by Apple. In addition, an increasing number of applications nonapproved exists that, for his installation, they require to unblock the operating system (a denominated process jailbreak); this method annuls the guarantee of the equipment and can damage it, reason why he is not recommendable for nonexpert users.

Between the programs available in the store of Apple they stand out, first, the tools that were born in other platforms and that have their version here; for example, Fring, that allows to chatear and to do calls of voice on IP using the networks of Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger, among others. Other messengers, like Nimbuzz, Palringo or IM+ (this last one does not require to register itself), also are available. In addition, Shozu allows to in line raise content several albums, like Flickr, Picasa Web or blogs of all type. And Google offers a version of its globe, Google Earth, that runs in iPhone.

Between the free more recommendable applications to install in the equipment they are Remote, that allows to control the reproduction of content in iTunes being used iPhone or iPod Touch like remote control. The developers of the VLC also offer their VLC Remote (there is a version free, something limited, and one pays).

Although the equipment already includes an application that reports the weather conditions (the present temperature, the prognosis for the following days), as much The Weather Chanel as Accuweather and WeatherBug offers their own versions, with more satelite information, photos and others.

Also Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn have an application available with the name of the social network, to see and to update the own profile and to accede to the content that the friendly generate. They are very complete versions: they allow to see photos, to leave commentaries and to validate invitations.

Among others applications to emphasize are Light, that it puts in target the screen to use the lantern equipment; Stanza (an electronic book reader, including which they are available in the Gutenberg Project); TouchCalc (a scientific calculator), and LockBox, to create a encriptada area where to store confidential information. WiFinder, on the other hand, analyzes the near Wi-Fi networks to see which allows a connection to Internet.

Also it is Wikipanion, to accede in movable form to the contents of the Wikipedia; MultiConvert, a converter of units of measurement (temperature, volume, distance, et cetera), or MightyDocs, that allows to have a copy of a document of Google Docs even though is not counted on a connection to Internet. Meanwhile, with XL you notice is possible to create notes using the equipment in oblong form, to take advantage of the so large major the keyboard, and Firemail offers something similar, but with the electronic mail. Taking advantage of the sensible screen to the tact, WritePad allows to write by hand raised (the application even offers text recognition for the outlines), and Scribble, to draw with the finger. And considering the accelerometer of the equipment (that detects the inclination of this one) it is that iHandy Level was created, a level that allows to determine if a surface is horizontal.

The accelerometer also is crucial for games like Labyrinth HIM, in which there is to incline the equipment to help a small ball to draw for a series of obstacles, or JellyCar, the well-known game in Flash that now works in iPod Touch and iPhone. Also, infaltable, a clone of the Arkanoid like Blocks Classic Lite; arcade of adventures like Rick Rocketson; reMovem, in which there is to release the screen of contiguous balls of color, or Feint Aurora, one of the first games in being popular in iPhone, and in which there is to move the pieces to join them with others of his type (in the style of the Bejeweled). By all means, it could not lack in ready APT APT Revenge, the version for touch screen of the Guitar Hero: it is necessary to touch the screen to the rate of the lights.

Although it is not free, it deserves a mention the game Trick, created by the Argentine programmers behind the company Odasoft (www.odasoft.net), and that already is available in the store of Apple to have a little Argentine code in iPhone.

Steve Jobs leaves Apple until June by its disease

The delegated advisor of the technological giant Apple, Steve Jobs, who suffered a cancer of páncreas and in the last months he had appeared much more thin, announced yesterday that he will be of labor loss until June because its state of health is “more complex” than it thought.
The announcement of temporary retirement takes place days after Jobs attributed to a hormonal problem without importance the thinning undergone in the last months, that shot rumors on their precarious health.

FALL IN STOCK MARKET
In a note, Jobs explained that, whatsoever, the next months it will be abreast of the main strategic decisions of the company, although for the daily questions will replace the head to him of Operations, Tim Cook. The bad news on the health of Jobs, impeller of great commercial successes like iPod or iPhone, brought about yesterday a fall of 10% of the actions of Apple.

Apple allows more navigators for iPhone

Like flatulentas happened to the applications, that in bulk appeared in the store as soon as Apple lowered some restrictions on the approval of applications, in the last hours several navigators of third parties for iPhone have been approved in the store of applications of iTunes.

The hope is by halves, because all these navigators are modifications of WebKit and continue using Safari, only customizaciones of the UI of the WebKit that renderiza Safari, reason why the competition is not open 100%. Therefore, we do not wait for a Firefox, a Chrome, or Opera for iPhone still.

Ordinates within iTunes, some within productivity and others within utilities are very carelessly, reason why I recommend to look for well. The complete list of the new incorporations is the following one:

* Edge Browser (free)
* WebMate: Tabbed Browser (0,99 dollars)
* Shaking Web (1,99 dollars)
* Incognito (1,99 dollars)


We remember that Apple did not want to Opera Mini within iPhone, and that brought several headaches to him, reason why this decision will be received and is very well, although by halves, a demonstration of which until Apple revee its bad decisions.

In spite of Android, Palm Pre and Obama and its Blackberry, iPhone and the store iTunes continue being a machine to make money!

Dell Axim vs iPhone

Dell is more and more about sending its first intelligent telephone, according to a note of investigation by the analyst Shaw Wu de Kaufaman Bros. The investigations on Dell supposedly indicate that it is more “near the reality” after approximately two years of discussions with the companies that could offer electronics for the apparatus. A specific window of launching has not occurred.

ppc-dell.gifThe specifications also are not known, although usually Dell has supported apparatuses based on Windows Mobile, both through its apparatuses AXIM, as well as in their present catalogue for telephones of third parties that favor to the Microsoft platform.

Dell has publicly tried to discard the rumors that it is working on a telephone, but has not denied the pleas, that partly have began by the hiring of a previous head of the section of movable telephones of Motorola.

Wi suggests an intelligent telephone probably would be sent to try to mitigate the effect of which the intelligent telephones rob users of the portable ones, but notices that Dell would have to cause that the effort is really distinguishing to have an opportunity to gain a significant quota of market.

“Therefore, we think that Dell could need to consider an acquisition of a software manufacturer,” says Wu.

Opera S5: wireless earpieces for iPhone and Ipod Touch

The Korean specialists of audio Digifi have published a new tool for your iPod or iPhone designed to eliminate the hindrance and to leave your hands free so that you continue playing with your air guitar.
