Apple’s released a new “If You Don’t Have an iPhone…” ad spot. This time, the company highlights Game Center, its game-based social network that lets users keep up with what games their friends are playing — and how well they are doing:
I’ve been trying to use my iPad to take notes in meetings over the last couple of month, but I just can’t seem to find a decent application to get it done. I usually find myself resorting to a pen and paper during meetings at banks and other business-like settings.
Today I woke up to a tip in my email box about an application called ActionNotes. I think it might just be the application I’m looking for on my iPad. I haven’t spent a lot of time with it yet, considering I just found out about it, but I thought I’d pass it along anyway.
ActionNotes is broken into two columns. On the left, you’re given space to write point form notes, and on the right, you can create Action Points. Simply put, an Action Point is any note or item that you need to put into action. If you’re responsible for something, you can create an Action Point to keep track of the task. Essentially the Action Point acts as personal ToDo list within each note you’ve taken.
According to a new rumour surfacing about the next iteration of Apple’s MobileMe service, we may soon see a music locker service for $20 a year. The Music Void is reporting that Apple is pushing for agreements with major labels to secure a locker service in time for the anticipated April unveiling of the new MobileMe.
Wayne Rosso writes, “Informed sources say that Apple has sealed its deal with Warner and has been using that agreement to leverage the other labels to get the deals done in time for the April launch. The locker service will reportedly have somewhere around a $20 annual price tag.”
As if there was a need for any more debate, bringing your application to the Mac App Store should be a huge priority for businesses—small, medium, and large alike.
TechSmith can attest to the veracity of that claim. They’ve seen a 20 percent increase in sales of Camtasia since they’ve made the move to the Mac App Store. The increase in sales hasn’t come on the back of discounts on the Mac App Store either. The application is priced at $99.00 both on the Mac App Store and off. For those of you who haven’t heard of Camtasia, the program lets you create professional screen recordings. It’s one of the best in the industry.
For a while now many have been speculating that Apple would be moving away from CDMA and HPSA specific chipsets in the iPad and iPhone, but the transition hasn’t fully happened as of yet. While the Verizon based iPhone 4 and iPad 2 carry a Qualcomm MDM6600, which is capable of serving HSPA+, and CDMA2000, Apple’s decided to use the Intel X-Gold 618 baseband in the AT&T version of the iPad 2. Simply put, Apple’s using two chips where they could theoretically use one.
Want to make your WordPress site work on an iPad without needing to spend a ton on coding a dedicated iPad application? How about not needing to create a custom theme just for iPad users? How much would you pay for a WordPress plugin that takes only 5 minutes to install and configure (depending on connection speed)? $50? $100? How about free? Free, you say? Yes, free. All of this can be done with a new plugin called Onswipe.
Onswipe is a WordPress Plugin that takes your WordPress website and makes it into an iPad-compatible site that mimics many of the iPad features aand stylistic elements. The elements used include the sharing icon and the popover window used on the iPad, and it recognizes the accelerometer for posts as needed.
EA’s latest title brings a new take on the line drawing genre. You help control Max, a kid who has the power of a Magic Marker that allows you to help him through his quest by drawing objects on-screen that instantly become real.
Max and the Magic Marker is available for both iPhone and iPad, and I’m currently playing the game on my iPhone.
