iPhone apps S/D

that's this other thing

or maybe there can be a mouth on the bottom and you have to slide the meat into the mouth....

depending on your definition of meat, you might be able to get away with a lot more than $1.99

that sounds more fun too.

but i need help with mobileme/mac.com.. i have my regular mac.com email and my work email. so i want both pushed to my iphone, so i created a me.com alias that I have my work emails forwarded to. so this works fine sorta on my iphone since both sets of emails get pushed to it, but i don't have the option of sending email from that alias. just my regular mac.com address.

and on my computer, each email sent to my work email ends up in my inbox twice since i guess when it forwards to the me.com alias that in turn gets forwarded to my regular mac.com adderss which is why my phone gets all the emails and the computer gets doubles of my work emails. does this make sense?

so basically, im only allowed one real user account on mac/me.com now? and these aliases are just able to take email and forward to my regular mac.com address?

Could the goddamn MMS "implementation" suck more? They give you a link with two gobbledygook things to enter, but you can't copy and paste. FAIL!

Yea, Why can't they just make that permalink url?

MMS what?

Super-annoying, and the website that you have to use is slow and crappy. It would be nice if AT&T saved all your MMS messages so you could access them with a simple login/pass.

bi have my regular mac.com email and my work email. so i want both pushed to my iphone, so i created a me.com alias that I have my work emails forwarded to.

Can't you access your work email server directly?

i can but i'd rather have it push so i can get it more instantaneous? or is that b.s.

does texting on an iPhone really suck?

nope

i like that you can see your back and forht like ichat

yeah its fun

Push email through Exchange is great, but a battery-killer. I don't get a full day's worth of power from a charge. Pretty sweet, though, especially with the Outlook calendar integration. No more syncing.

i can but i'd rather have it push so i can get it more instantaneous? or is that b.s.

I'd skip all this push nonsense for right now. Set it to check every 30 minutes.

DUDES. try testing the word motörhead. or typing it. IT PUTS IN THE FUCKING UMLAUT!

still doesn't recognize "fucking", but WOAH. my phone types motörhead.

this message brought to you by an unlikely iPhone pioneer on the 44 bus heading south through Glasgow

Doesn't do Björk tho.

It doesn't do motley but it does crüe. WAHT

it röcks

actually, a direct link to the piece would make more sense than linking to my fucking blog, so here you go

aaaaand there's an ssh client (pTerm)

And iSSH is on the way

holy shit an X server wau wau wau wau

Ok then, bought this for meself as a birfday present. Anybody know how to get a wav as a ringtone on here? I need my Peter Davison theme, and everything on the itunes store is shitty electro mixes.

oh wait, this one sounds trancey. Still not good enough. I need that Arp Odyssey 2 sound.

oh wait, nevermind. A friend just sent me here

Basically (in iTunes)

1. Set up the prefs to convert songs into AAC files. I think you also need iTunes set up to "Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding to Library."
2. Select a song, and get info on it. In the "Options" tab, set the in and out points you want.
3. Convert the track to AAC. It will convert only the section you set in the options. Go back in the options of the original track and un-set the in and out points.
4. Drag the new AAC file to the desktop. Change to file extension to m4r.
5. Double-click the file on the desktop. It should now show up as a sync-able ringtone in iTunes.
6. Don't forget to change the converter prefs back to mp3, or you'll end up with a bunch of crap AAC files in your library.

Yup, there you go.

anyone else tried zintin, then?

so basically... facebook?

"Techno rocks my world!"

facebook app is a bit lame though. no events = fail. the whole thing should be that you can look up events on the go!!! this is def a case where the mobile site is better.

so basically... facebook?

er, yeh, but with no integration with -- say -- facebook.

i'm not sure i'll ever really use it, or find a use for it. i guess if i somehow happened to be on the pull in a room full of women with iPhones it could be great. but even then ...

i'd be really impressed if the facebook app allowed any 3rd party app to work well on mobile.

I'm super impressed with Midomi.

I decided to mumble the vocals to Pavement's "Cut Your Hair" into the recording window, and it found the track, no probs.

Midomi vs. Shazam! in a nutshull:
Shazam so far is totally worthless. All UI, no actual functionality.
Midomi is freaky awesome. Cheap UI.
All IMHO.

I also tried Aurora Feint over the weekend. Oh man. It's basically a Medieval Bejeweled really really trying to capture the MMORPG melodrama but without any "there" there. I might delete this.

I think you're missing the point there (IT'S MEDIEVAL BEJEWELLED! AWESOME!)

shazam has worked 90% of the time for me. way more often i'll be out somewhere and want to know what a song is than... well... whatever midomi is meant for.

Yeah, Midomi has been the definition of "epic fail" for me 9 times out of 10.

ya, it's never worked for me. and rare is the occasion that i'll know the lyrics and tune of a song but not know the song itself. i mean i guess maybe with something i heard on the radio. but that's what shazam is for!

any other awesome new apps?

(xp)same here. ill take shazam over midomi any day

Out of curiosity, what tracks have you guys identified or failed to identify with either Shazam and/or Midomi?

Just wondering if the music DBs that either reference just happen to be mutually exclusive or not. (Like, maybe Shazam! is great for hip-hop but Midomi is good for indie? That's just an example.)

I know Shazam failed for me with Beatles, and the tunes Skream! was spinning last Wednesday at his DJ performance in Sea.

any other awesome new apps?

I don't think it's new, and it's not super awesome yet, but I like Feeds a lot, at least as some basic RSS feed aggregate. Feeds needs a mode to display Atoms/RSS's in reverse chronological order, and then it would already be the best RSS App out there.

Unless you guys know of a superior RSS app.

im kinda waiting on NNW to get good cuz i like the idea of syncing with my laptop version and not having to re-add all my feeds.

Agreed. I've been avoiding NNW like the plague until I hear something positive.

Out of curiosity, what tracks have you guys identified or failed to identify with either Shazam and/or Midomi?

Midomi has failed to identify anything I've played for it or sung into it. (Granted, that included Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms".) Shazam, OTOH, indentified random Keri Hilson, Mary J. Blige and T.I. songs with a ton of ambient noise in the background; the only thing it hasn't been able to identify was a random acid jazz track that was only under local release in Cincinnati.

Any updated game suggestions, either free or paid? I like Trism so far.
