iPhone apps S/D

booty call?

lol a friend of mine was going to write a anonymous booty call app but couldn't quite figure out how to market it so that it wouldn't be immediately obvious

misfiled booty

beejive is excellent if you like to IM

not working as well as i'd hoped. some bugs.

i don't understand why blackberrys and robot phones have no problems whatsoever keeping persistent IM connections but iphone really struggles with this.

so when it says "push to email" thats just like old copy right--it actually pushes to the application right?

push to email was an old feature. you'd set it to push IMs to your mobileme account so you'd get notifications right away.

Live and entertainingly noisy synthesiser, responding to multitouch and accelerometer control. You can control up to three independent voices at once. The sound synthesis method is GENeral DYNamic stochastic synthesis, as pioneered by Iannis Xenakis.

how in the fuck do i get the iphone to push its calendar events to google calendar. i've got gCal to push *its* calendars to the phone, but not vice-versa. wtf?

There's a few bits you need to do: you need to create it as an Exchange account on the phone and you need to go to m.google.com/sync from Safari on the phone and choose the phone as well.

thanks for the advice, but i'm still in the same boat (except now my gcal events show up in triplicate on my phone). still no pushing ical events to my gcal...

oh hang on, are you trying to get iCal calendar events to send to gcal? You can't really do that. You can add yr google calendar to iCal, but iCal calendars stay separate.

I just discovered that there's a Delicious Library app that lets you sync your mac library to your iPhone/iTouch.

have never understood the appeal of delicious library. If I want to know what I have, I look at the actual shelves. And it's not like I'm running a lending library, here.

Lol I have an iPhone ON IPHONE

thanks stet, i've been realizing this for months now. google keeps insisting it's a two-way sync, though! BS as far as I can tell...

specifically, google sync says that you can 'make changes on your mobile device and they will get pushed to google calendar and show up the next time you log in' which is bullshit.

you can make changes to google calendars that appear on the calendar app and they'll show up, but not for iCal calendars that are on the device, if the makes sense.

have never understood the appeal of delicious library. If I want to know what I have, I look at the actual shelves. And it's not like I'm running a lending library, here.

It's actually a tremendous help for me since > 50% of my books, CDs, etc. are in storage. When I need to reference something I can find it by which box it's in.

Is there a good app for watching or streaming AVI files on/to my iphone? Basically, to avoid having to convert them. I've heard OrbLive can do this... any good?

Simplify Media is now on version 2.0, and cheekily they've released it as a separate app, so if you were in on the original early enough to get it for free, you still need to fork out for an upgraded (ie working) version. On the plus side, it does work perfectly now, even with huge media collections

For reasons too tedious to go into, I reinstalled it today -- this being the original/free/slightly knackered version. As long as you're patient and set up the host machine to look at folders rather than the iTunes library file, it works like a bastarding charm. I'm actually really impressed (and not upgrading to the new one: ha).

haha totally agree. i guess cataloguing your shit is a way to spend your time tho. and for ppl like elvis i guess it is pretty useful.

Love this thing btw

Thought someone might want to see this sneaky tethering workaround:

loving the price erosion on games tht's led to a new 0.59p standard

^^^the perfect price for an iphone app imo, anything else is too much

Actually cataloging took no time at all... The barcode lookup feature makes cataloging a box of books go by very fast.

About time:http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/07/push-gmail-comes-to-the-iphone-%E2%80%94-through-an-app-if-its-accepted/

But, come on, I need to pay for this?!

it's .99 cents.

why does anyone really need it

it's nice to be alerted when you get an email instead of parsing the email application or waiting for it to check every 15 minutes?

same problem as w/all these sorts of things -- not giving my Google account login to some random joe.

why dont you trust ice cr?m

yeah i suppose

i guess this makes sense for people with like jobs, and who get email that is timely and important. if i had this application i would've gotten like fifteen beeps or whatever about funny pics of someone's newborn baby or about my friend's ~dramatic~ sex life

i guess you've never owned a blackberry

my girlfriend would kill me within a day after i got this application

yeah the fact that i get email on my phone at all is novelty enough atm

Forgive my noviceness, but does iPhone have infrared capabilities, and if so is there an app to enable you to use it as remote for tv, cd player, amp, DVD etc?

Nope, no IR. Plenty of remote control apps but they're pretty much all wifi based.

Bummer.

you can use it to view the infrared spectrum of light tho and see ghosts

Message for Elvis Telecom: any news from your pal about a NetNewsWire update? It's so crash-happy and unstable these days that I'm considering ditching it and going back to the web app.

(Which is a shame, because it's the one app I use every single day ... it just seems unable to handle the number of feeds I've got now.)

it STILL doesnt work!?!?

Byline is pretty damn good now

I know. But -- as we've discussed! -- I want to carry on using NNW on the desktop, 'cos it's absolutely ideal.

Apparently there's a new iPhone version in the pipeline. Hey ho.

(FWIW: occasionally nuking the iPhone app and reinstalling makes it a lot happier for a while, but come on ... that isn't really how these things should work.)

Hey cat freaks! This app is for you:

I had just convinced myself that I was going to get a Mac and the iPhone app SDK so I could build a World of Warcraft achievement viewer app and what happens? Blizzard announces a full ARMORY application that covers exactly what I was going to do.
