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:

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?
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.

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.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 30 October 2010 12:23 (fifteen years ago)
Wow awesome you guys.
my phone's speaker is dead so for now I think Line Art is going to be amazing.

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?
― Clay, Saturday, 20 November 2010 23:31 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― jeff, Saturday, 20 November 2010 23:50 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― Clay, Saturday, 20 November 2010 23:56 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― jeff, Sunday, 21 November 2010 00:04 (fifteen years ago)
dude airtunes isn't airport express
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Sunday, 21 November 2010 01:18 (fifteen years ago)
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

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 21 November 2010 01:28 (fifteen years ago)
airtunes is an apple thing, though, and it is a feature w/ apple express.

I don't even use AirTunes or AirPort. Granted, I'm on a PC, but Remote works fine with my regular ol' wireless router.

StreamToMe is what you're looking for: http://projectswithlove.com/streamtome/It's an iPhone/Pad app which connects to a Windows/Mac desktop app (ServeToMe).It streams any format of music, video, photos, iTunes playlists etc. to your device.It costs $2.99 and once you've figured out a few quirks, it's very very awesome.
― Huey in Bristol (Huey in Melbourne), Tuesday, 23 November 2010 14:27 (fifteen years ago)
What's the streaming radius? I assume the program only works when the computer and iPhone are near each other?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 14:36 (fifteen years ago)
It works over the wifi network.
― Huey in Bristol (Huey in Melbourne), Thursday, 25 November 2010 18:18 (fifteen years ago)
You're possibly thinking of bluetooth?
So can I stream something to my phone in another state (assuming I left my computer on and running at home)?
― Mordy, Thursday, 25 November 2010 18:22 (fifteen years ago)
Or do they have to be sharing the same wifi connection?

is anyone else's NYTimes app totally fucked recently? Ever since the upgrade to OS4, it crashes the first time you load it, and usually the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times too. I have a 3GS running OS4.
