iPhone apps S/D

i'd bl-app

caek, i don't see how you were being anything but purposefully obtuse. obviously, i was asking how the official AIM client works on the iphone, from someone who has used it.

I took "how does it work" to mean, y'know, "how does it work" not "how is it to use". Apparently you meant the latter. I wasn't being obtuse.

whatever dudes

how do I shot 2.0 fmwre on unlocked iphone? : (

Apple's free Remote Application (iTunes Link) is also available and allows you to "control the music on your computer or Apple TV from your iPod touch or iPhone. Play, pause, skip, shuffle. See your songs, playlists, and album art on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were right in front of your computer. Remote works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home."

oooh that is cool!

I haven't used the itunes remote app yet (soon I hope!) but from what I've read, it lets you display and play from your computer's itunes library on your iphone/ipod touch. It does it over wifi.

xpost yes that's better put

All the book readers are rubbish.

damn! do any of them at least let you skip to a given page in a pdf? i'd settle for that, really.

AIM will use the push-style stuff, but only when that goes live in september, i believe.

Yeh push isn't live yet. Toby I've got one more to try that might.

iTunes remote is the killer though. AirTunes has needed it since launch.

really looking forward to trying that one out when i go back in, i have to say [and also looking forward to having home internet again so i don't have to keep going outside to download apps etc].

2.0 running now, just tried the facebook app. might well make my first actual purchase in a minute (mlb.com).

*weeps*

nyt app seems v v slow on edge - might be sticking with their mobile site, i guess.

you bitches have the screenshotting function now too apparently -> press the sleep/wake button while holding down home, the screen will flash white and the pic will be saved to your camera roll I think

how does iphone work

ON IPHONE

how does flush headphone jack work

on the internet?

true!

Buried in the full changes for iPhone OS 2.0 is "Cisco IPSec VPN support"

Did I miss this before, because this is a HUGE WIN for me

ON IPHONE

oh god me too! (do)

Did anyone buy Monkey Ball yet? For me that is the iPhone killer app, not Safari or Mail or a portable telling phone.

Holy shit, i need this in my life

If no one laughs (hey, that can happen) bring your own laughter.

remote control is surprisingly great. Somehow much more satisfying than I imagined, and good that search is in there.

am i to understand that you can use your iphone to search your computer's itunes library, and then play/pause etc the songs on that computer?

i think i'd buy it for that alone!!

Yep, exactly.

It's like Salling Clicker did years ago, except it rocks.

the remote is simply awesome--same interface as the ipod function ON IPHONE

AIM i'm not too pleased with--what's the point if it's not persistent and logs you off everytime the phone goes to sleep? (ON IPHONE)

It's good when yr bored and in one place, though. The non-persistance isn't their fault, though, Apple won't let apps run in the background. Notifications will sort that, though.

though ON IPHONE though

Evernote for iPhone is incredible, I'm also enjoying Twitterrific and Remote, I'm somewhat intrigued by Whrrl and will likely end up buying OmniFocus.

I am so afraid of this thing now

When for iPod touch, damn it :(

BoxOffice is pretty cool -- automatically determines where you are, then gives you a list of all movies playing within a certain radius of you, their start times and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

jesus christ

What about this google app? Which is meant to make search easier, but for some reason is only in the US app store, and not ours?? Anyone tried it? Should UKers be miffed?

I've bought monkey ball. tempted by that cute looking piano/guitar thing too. And midomi, if it works, could be amazing.

But I can't test any of these until dhl bring me my 3g in the morning.

Evernote was fucking useless for me, I deleted it. All my notes came up in 6pt, no way to zoom. New notes also unreadable.

BoxOffice doesn't work in the UK, and I really wish it did.

Have bought bejewelled. It's as addictive as ever.

the facebook app doesn't. have. the friggin' wall.

~FAIL~

Bloomberg for iPhone is shit hot. It would be better if it you could cram all of Bloomberg Terminal onto it.

Man, a lot of apps seem to be US only. Grr.

google app seemed lame for the minute I tried it for. MLB app is great, though.

Dunno, this looks pretty slick to me. Has to be quicker/easier than googling via safari. Definitely useful enough for me to be disappointed I can't get it.

yeah, that looks pretty much like a pocket version of inquisitor

stet, what is notifications? on iPhone tho, you know?

cutty, notifications are a fake form of background processes that allow the app to communicate with apple servers, which push the message to the phone blackberry style

…i think

but that doesn't start up until september

the frmware 2.0 is unlocked apparently (has been for a while) but the tools to do this on yr own phone aren't yet released; don't know if they work ON IPHONE 3G but they will work ON IPHONE 2G

NYT app still seems a bit lame - advertising, slow, and i still can't load anything other than main news/business (and this morning the dining and wine section had disappeared completely).

is there any app for offline web browsing?

My kid found these the other day. I rarely use iMessage but who cares this is awesome

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/classic-mac/id1127542169?mt=8

any recommendations for video-editing apps other than imovie?

Lumafusion?

are you sure?

My wife just started using it. I watched some of the tutorials with her and it seems pretty damn powerful.

I myself am not a video guy tho

Had a thought this morning that I should start checking ebooks out of the library, and managed to do so over lunch via the OverDrive app. Pretty easy process and works great. Any other good library-associated ebook readers out there?

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

Reeder v3 is now free — still by far the best RSS reader imo

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

HATE reeder. It’s too goddamn gray. Fiery Feeds forever.

Libby is great. Simple easy.

Reeder my favorite iOS app, period. V4 underway (hence promo on v3)

You can change the colour scheme in Reeder now

Yes, to more kinds of gray.

Gave up on Reeder awhile back and switched to News Explorer. Staying there.

Scanner app recommendations?

I have happily used Scanner Pro for years.

Why would you need an app for that? I find the native Notes app to be more than adequate.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210336

OCR, automatic file naming etc.

If you use it like once a month then notes is fine. If you’re trying to go fully paperless it is not up to the job.

Notes has OCR and file naming...?

yeah I have to keep copies of all the dumb paper documents I receive, because of French bureaucracy, so I need something robust for this

i just took a picture of the front page of a newspaper and it automatically named the file "telephone numbers".

I don't want to speak for everyone, I have both models of the newest iphones (and before that an ancient SE) and have never encountered a problem!

Just table some anecdotal input on the native app tally for me.

Dropbox does a good job at scanning.
