iPhone apps S/D

apparently iphone5 isn't coming out until fall or 2012

― FUN FUN FUN FUN (gbx), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 18:56 Is that right?

I'd be very surprised if it was as so far it's been June every year for the new iPhone launch.

Gruber types are saying that's changing this year. Especially now that nobody cares about new iPods, they think they'll use the september launch for the phones now.

Yeah just done some reading and they announced that WWDC will focus on the "future of IOS" this year so people seem to be assuming it'll be a software event rather than a hardware one. Although it does seem that everyone has jumped on that one little comment and concluded the iPhone 5 will be delayed.

I'd be quite happy with a delay tbh as I'm tied in to my iPhone 4 until June next year.

locked in to my 3g (not s) till oct this year, so a sept release would be nice. still unsure whether to replace my defunct ipod or not - if 5 has decent storage then might be worth holding off.

Did anyone get the Kraftwerk app?

$12 and all negative reviews. Hmm.

I just paid 14 bucks for this new Atari app. It's amazing for nostalgic reasons but the controllers are a pain in the ass like all iphone virtual joysticks so I'll probably never really use it.

Chaos Rings does the joystick well. Basically anywhere on the left side of the screen you can put your finger and start the joystick from that point.

What's up w this new SkyView app and is it as good as Star Walk?

Got my first situationist thing...

aaaand?

I'm in clinic!

Yes you read that right! As the title suggests, you can now enable HD video recording on your jailbroken iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.x. ARM Cortex processor on iPhone 3GS is apparently capable of handling 720p video encoding, it is just that Apple has imposed some limitation in the software which Mike has successfully managed to bypass to allow video recording at 1080×800 @ 30fps at up to 20Mbps. The default settings for video recording on iPhone 3GS are: 640×480 @ 3Mbps.

idgi, why do apple limit the software?

¯\(°_°)/¯

d00dz - is there an app that will automatically put me into airplane mode after, say, 30 seconds of failing to find a signal?

Apple's answer is always "protecting user experience" ie this is just about possible but unless it works perfectly we won't let it out.

Real answer is obviously "make you want new stuff".

Maybe their engineers just aren't very good.

Any recommendations for a planner that works really well with Google calendar? I was looking at CalenGoo, Pocket Informant, and SauSukeCalenars - Google Calendar Client, and others.

If you turn on GMail's Exchange ActiveSync support, you can use the native app. Or calvetica, which I really like.

Also loving tweetbot, except the icon.

I have calvetica. My problem is that I use the calendar to see both my events and my girlfriends, but since I only have read-only acess to her calender, unless I'm doing something wrong, her events don't sync to iCal or Calvetica. I could try seeing it I'd be able to read them if I gained write privileges, but I prefer to not have that so that we don't start accidently writing to each other's calendar. Am I missing something?

If you turn on GMail's Exchange ActiveSync support, you can use the native app.

Did that. The native app is garbage, especially as a way of using Google calendar. I'll take a look at calvetica. Thinking of Pocket Calendar, too, now.

Dan: I haven't tested this, but I think you should be able to add the feed of yr girlfriends calendar to your iCal and then it'll sync to the phone w/MobileMe.

Both iCal and Calendar on phone are ptty shit. ICal woeful at adding new events.

I chose CalenGoo - dumb name, but I love it. Calvetica was good (read about it and tried out the free version) but limited. I love that CalenGoo is both simple to use, yet chock full of functions that I use, even more than Google Calendar itself. E.g., duplicating a calendar event, which is something I've frequently wanted. I love that it lets you get under the hood quite a bit - Being able to customize the defaults is really nice, for example.

I just use mobile me.

I meant to ask you what you use. I'm surprised you don't have something more exotic and powerful.

Nah, I just pay. It's not the best calendaring app, but everything updates nicely and works great.

Holy crap, Microsoft's new Photosynth app is a wowing thing. And it's free.

what does it do?

Stitches photos together to make panoramas. Cheers for the tip-off Alba, it really is fantastic.

You just sort of wave the phone around and it stitches on the fly. Quite incredible.

O that's amazing

A mate just pointed out that you need silverlight installed to view them after the fact (i.e. you can't from the phone). He reckons 360 Panorama is much nicer.

Yes you can, you just click the icon of two overlapping rectangles on the bottom left corner.

My 3GS puts them as a picture on my roll automatically.

That too

+1, also an app that blocks that fucking "DISMISS" msg if you've manually selected a network

AA you know there's a setting where it'll only connect to known wifi networks, and never ask you about connecting

(aa) Sorry, should have been clear: it's not wi-fi, it's 3G.

All 90% off until the royal wossnames get married for some reason.

Nice:

Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.

useful feature for drunks looking to piece together the previous night out, imo.

if it was telling apple where the phone had been 4eva this might be half a story, instead its just grist to the mill for the guardian comment retard squad

Very handy for FBI xxpost

what is this mystery app?

it's called "d00dz - is there"

Photosynth is fun. This is my first successful panorama. It's the view from my building's front door, and of the building itself. And my foot. http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=a0501e97-3dda-4288-9bd8-96bedc1f998d

This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32-bit mode

whaaaaaaat

awesome panorama btw, also sorry for yr backwards leg

Not an app question, but who has experience with on-the-go rechargers? Right now I'm looking at Duracell's Instant and Powerhouse chargers, which are in essence Li-Ion battery packs with USB ports attached, and they are also built to spec for iPods/iPhones (which have weird circuitry that don't work w/ a lot of portable USB chargers). I mean, it'd be nice to find one that takes AA or AAA's, but I don't think they even really exist or work well w/ iPhones. Any tips?

Google Reader's page on Safari has never refreshed without my making it do so, even when I leave Safari to switch apps or not use the phone. I've been trying different things to make it refresh of its own volition but it's not doing it.

I was thinking about this conversation today, and I should clarify that I would experience the random refreshes when switching between safari "tabs", not using multi-tasking to switch between applications. My original post did not indicate this.

Hey Stevie. I've no experience with the Duracell chargers (though they seem to be well-reviewed) but your post has just reminded me I need something for Glastonbury. Was previously just thinking of taking my old Sony Ericsson, which lasts for days, but now you've inspired me to order one of these monsters:
