iPhone apps S/D

VLC out for iPhone/Touch today!

That AR SOT app looks sweet.

does VLC stream or run media off the device? if the latter, than i am very very interested.

You sync stuff to your phone (using an obscure menu in iTunes) and then you can play your divx rips, etc. I'm going to try it out tonight.

Haven't tried the iPhone version yet but the iPad one works a treat *except* jumping forward or back a few minutes is a really imprecise, annoying art.

WHAT??? DIVX ON IPHONE?!?!

this makes up for the Toronto election results

You sync stuff to your phone (using an obscure menu in iTunes)

Explain please

app menu in the phone section of itunes, scroll down, you'll see a list of apps that accept file transfers - then just drag and drop the files you want to upload onto the phone

Jeez

Tried it out last night. Works fine for SD rips. It wouldn't really play a 720p file. I imagine it is not using the video HW, so the battery life will suffer. Maybe I'm wrong, tho'.

wondering if my ipad will handle 720p files

Doubt it. The iPhone 4 has more memory and as least as fast a CPU as the iPad.

noob question. if you have an iphone can you keep docs on the phone (eg a cv) and attach them to emails in mail.app?

loving all the (free) modular synth apps

Ooh ooh which ones??

he said all of them

Cozen: drop box app can send a link to a file, and pages on iPad can email the file, but I haven't seen iPhone equivalent

moogfest (it's embedded in this event app)
NLogFree

do you guys have anything else like that (i know dr3w listed some upthread but those are pay and i am cheap!)

thanks stet, seems odd that the iphone can't handle something so simple natively but I guess allowing it wd have other more complicated remifications

*ramifications

I can't remember but did I read something about the Nintendo DS Korg cartridge DS-10 coming to the iPhone? Maybe I'm making it up, but that thing is amazing.

My favorite electronic music app is this little guy, who never fails to crack me up:

You can pretty much do this with FileApp. Transfer files to it through iTunes in the way baaderonixx describes them then email direct from FileApp. Doesn't go through mail.app as such, but I don't suppose that's essential to you. Is that what you wanted?

GameDev Story is totally worth it, if I haven't made that clear yet

I am totally not going anywhere near that thing. Unless the price falls below $3 maybe.

it costs the same as a pint. do it do it do it.

do it just for the puns.

Does anybody know of a fun abstract visual/musical app? I'd love something for Louis to play with.

I tried the Eno app but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

Just something where you can create cool tracings of light with your fingers or something.

Try Line Art for visual

Sorry, messed up link.

And maybe Soundrop more for audio:

Both are free I think.

be-bot. he makes bleeping and blooping noises and sings when you touch him. And you can change the sounds and tuning and effects. And he's really cute.

Wow awesome you guys.

my phone's speaker is dead so for now I think Line Art is going to be amazing.

do any of you use an alarm clock other than the preloaded onboard one?

i use sleep cycle

I wanna try that but I'm afraid of knocking my phone off the bed

GyroSynth
Theremin-like, lots of options, works great on the iPhone 4.

Kik
Like bbm but works across all platforms

after quickly losing interest in Evernote, I am now playing around with Springpad which seems to be clearer and more straightforward. Has anyone been using it?

simplenote is my jam tbh

bummed to find that simplify was purchased by google and is now dead for the iphone. any other good ways to stream your itunes library to your iphone?

If you've got AirFoil on your computer then Airfoil Speakers will do it.

Doesn't apple's remote app do that? Or are you looking for something else/more?

i thought the remote just controlled itunes playing on the computer? can you set it up to stream to the phone and bypass the computer speakers?

i ask mainly because i moved to a new loft and the acoustics are all messed up. even though i work right next to the computer, that sound is terrible. i want to send that sound to a home theatre system that has speakers in every room.

Friend introduced me to Epic Win, which is pretty funny (it's $2.99). It's basically a rolling to-do list, in the form of a quest game. Every time you cross something off the list, you get points and can level-up your character or whatever. Silly, but possibly useful.

With remote you can control an iTunes library thats connected to AirTunes, so you'd be able to stream thataway.

yeah, i'm kinda looking to not buy more apple shit. though i guess airtunes might also extend my wireless network to my living room. anyone ever use that? is it just as easy as plugging it in in a new room? my xbox doesn't get the best wireless connection in the living room.

dude airtunes isn't airport express

it's a program, that jacks audio and sends it something on yr wireless network

cf i use it so to route movie audio to my stereo

lol bd at langauge
