How to Copy Music to your iPhone

The iPhone's multiple capabilities include the use of a music player that is comparable to Apple's iPod. Audio clarity is combined with the touch screen to create a mobile music experience. iPhone users can copy music to their iPhone through iTunes in a few steps.

Step1:Use the USB cables included with your iPhone to make a connection with your computer. You can purchase music online using your iPhone, but connecting to your iTunes
library allows you to bring past downloads with you anywhere you go.

Step2:Establish an auto synchronization between your computer and your iPhone. You can use the Summary field in iTunes to find the "Auto Sync" icon that lets you instantly upload new music to your iPhone upon connection.

Step3:Formulate playlists of your favorite music to make the music upload to your iPhone more orderly. You should compartmentalize albums and specific genres of music to avoid overloading your iPhone's memory.

Step4:Transfer items you have purchased through your iPhone to your computer's music library as a backup. You can click on the "File" icon at the top of iTunes and shift files using the Transfer Purchases function. You should do this every time you purchase something on your iPhone to sync up your computer and phone.

Step5:Delete music off of your iPhone that you have not listened to in a long time. You should clear out your iPhone library every few weeks so you can copy a larger number of new songs during the auto sync process.

Step6:Manage the sound level on your iTunes files before you upload music to your iPhone. The Preferences function on iTunes leads you to a "Sound Check" tool that lets you set the maximum sound level of every file that you copy to your phone.

Step7:Set the sleep timer on your iPhone to avoid letting your playlist run through while you are away from your phone. The "Clock" function on the phone leads you to an option called "Timer" that lets you set the amount of time the phone goes idle before music shuts off. The timer saves your battery capacity and lets it require fewer charges over the iPhone's life.

How to Change iPhone Themes

Apple, the makers of the iphone,places restrictions on the themes available for display behind iPhone icons. But the iPhone Hack Toolkit, a creative software that's free to download and use, lets you hack into the iPhone system, "jailbreak" the iPhone, and change your theme. A number of sites provide iPhone themes for you to choose from.

Step1:Choose a new theme for the iPhone. There are several websites like PqDvd that provide themes for free download once you've hacked into your iPhone. The theme file you download will be in a .pkg format.

Step2:Install iTunes on the computer. You can find it on the Apple website. This software needs to be on your hard drive for the hacking program to work.

Step3:Download the iPhone Hack Toolkit. It's free from various sources around the Internet. Try Megaleecher.net to get the jailbreak started.

Step4:Connect the iPhone to the computer.

Step5:Open the iPhoneHackToolkit1.0.exe file.

Step6:Select the "Jailbreak" option. This unlocks, or hacks, the restrictions on the iPhone so you can substitute a theme of your choice.

Step7:Click "Import" and select the .pkg file for the new theme you selected for the iPhone in Step 1.

Sparkle: iPhone Gets Its First Completely 3D MMO

TechCrunch talks about the first MMO to be developed exclusively for the iPhone (Sparkle, by Tokyo-based Genkii). Right now, the app can only connect you to a Second Life account, but the next generation (Sparkle 3D) will include a virtual world built from scratch.

The number of apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch is nearing the 30,000 mark but hardly any application takes advantage of the network effects that lie within the Apple ecosystem. Most developers simply ignore the fact that all iPhones and iPod Touches are interconnected globally and roll out stand-alone applications. This is one of the major reasons why the vast majority of fun apps lack stickiness and are easily forgotten after a few quick bursts.

But a Tokyo-based start-up called Genkii is building a unique app that has the potential to not only let a few iPhone users connect with each other, but thousands of them - at the same time or asynchronously. Sparkle is poised to become the first virtual world for the iPhone. What's more, it's being developed completely from scratch, exclusively as an MMO for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

The first iteration of Sparkle, a text communication app called Sparkle IM, actually went on sale yesterday (App Store link) and costs 4.99 USD. Sparkle IM basically brings Second Life communication to your iPhone, connecting you to Second Life (and OpenSim) grids. Users can send and receive IMs, chat, send teleport requests etc. on the go through their Second Life and OpenSim accounts.

But for the average iPhone user, Sparkle 3D will be much more interesting. Once finalized, Genkii says users will get a full-fledged virtual world in 3D (the company has a track record in virtual worlds development). Sparkle 3D will have its own economy, customizable personal spaces and avatars, social networking functions, virtual goods, games, streaming audio support, etc.

Have a look at some early Sparkle 3D screens and avatar designs below.

Crazy App of the Day: Foursquare, Friend-Finder, City Guide, Twitter with Benefits?

foursquare 1901 Foursquare is mobile friend finder, meet n’ great game by the creator of DodgeBall, Dennis Crowley. DodgeBall was sold in 2005 to Google. Foursquare works as an iPhone app, via text or the mobile web. It’s kind of like, Twitter with benefits.

Members create a network of friends in the service. When friends arrive at a nightclub or other social hotspot, they “check in” to Foursquare via a text message, mobile web or the iPhone application. In other words, the way Foursquare puts it, “tell us where you are and we’ll tell your friends where to find you”.

Members earn points and badges. Frequent attendees to certain night spots get to be the mayor of the joint. Currently, Foursquare is available in Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

The Foursquare website explains what they want this way:

“+ Think “urban mix tape”. We made a little system that allows you to track all the cool things to do in NYC - both the things you’ve done (your “Top 12″) and the things you want to do (your “To Do” list).

+ We’re not looking for reviews here… Think less “the food here is top notch!” and more “Go here, do this” or “Eat here, order this” (for example: “Go to Dumont Burger, order the Mac and Cheese”). Remember, you’ve only got 12 slots, so fill ‘em with the 12 coolest things you can think of in NYC. “

Lounge brings a rich Twitter client to iPhone and Mac OS X

Recently, Apple has unveiled the iPhone OS 3.0. However, iPhone’s current Internet connections are really slow and this has been a major drawback for Apple, although the smartphone has become the best selling phone in the US. According to some rumors, the next generation iPhone will come with a hardware upgrade that would provide better Internet access. Everybody knows that the iPhone is based on performance-limited hardware which supports only 3.6Mbps 3G, while 7.2Mbps 3G remains only a dream for users.

For the moment we don’t know if the iPhone will actually come with faster 3G or with faster Wi-Fi as the current 802.11 b/g supports 25Mbps therefore the latest Broadcom 802.11n chipsets will provide 50Mbps. Both are plausible, but 3G has an advantage considering the fact that Infineon is readying an improved 3G chipset which also improves battery life. Also, remember the fact that AT&T started trialing the 7.2Mbps 3G as of late-2008 and they will probably “release” the service later this year.

On the other side, better 3G would actually mean that better Wi-Fi. Why? Because 7.2Mbps is a must for the next-gen iPhone, and if users will get faster 3G speeds, then why wouldn’t Apple provide faster Wi-Fi?

We can say that we are almost sure that the next-gen iPhone will not support 4G because the LTE equipment will be completed in one or two years, however, what if Apple decides to release a new smartphone in one or two years? This remains to be seen, but it is more likely that the iPhone will come with faster 3G access.

Free iPhone Apps Review & Download: iSilo v1.31 for iPhone

The iSilo application, whose earlier incarnations were much beloved of doctors, lawyers, and others who sought a way to carry HTML reference material on their PDA since time immemorial, was released for the iPhone platform back in August.

As I mentioned when I covered it then, I had been a heavy user of iSilo for PalmOS back in the day, since I cordially disliked the MobiPocket PalmOS application and iSilo was the only other convenient way to get Baen Webscription books onto my Palm, Visor, or CliÃ©.

However, I hadn’t used it since my last Clie bit the dust. There had been other ways to read those books, such as FBReader on my Nokia 770 and Bookshelf on my iPod Touch. When I downloaded the first version available from the store, I was fairly unimpressed, so I decided to put off reviewing it until it got a little better.

That time has come now. With the release of version 1.30-1.31, iSilo has moved considerably closer to ready for prime-time. It has added support for viewing a number of non-iSilo document formats (most notably PDF), and also supports loading documents with WebDAV rather than needing a sync conduit applicationâ€”an innovation I would like to see in other readers, such as Stanza or Bookshelf.

The iSilo document format

The iSilo document format In order to convert documents from HTML into iSilo format, you will need to download the free iSiloX converter program. This program will allow you to convert any single page or collection of linked pages into an iSilo-compatible e-book.

Some websites, such as Munseys, also offer preconverted iSilo-format books for download. (It should be noted, however, that Munseys uses an older version of the iSilo format, which shows up double-spaced on newer iSilo apps, so you will get better results if you convert them yourself.)

iSilo is a format that has been evolving since shortly after the introduction of the original Palm Pilots. At its root, it is intended as a way to take text formatted in HTML and translate it to a form that can be read on a PDA, with as little human intervention as possible along the way.

In this respect, it has a couple of notable advantages over the other HTML conversion document format, MobiPocket. With iSilo, if you have a table of contents for a book in HTML format with links to all the chapters, all you need to do is point iSiloX at the table of contents and tell it to fetch that to a link-depth of 1. It creates the book for you, with the table of contents at the beginning”and links from the table of contents to other parts of the book work just as they would if you were viewing through a web browser.

On the other hand, I have never yet been able to make a MobiPocket-converted file with a built-in table of contents, even when I had that same table of contents HTML file.

This also makes iSilo a natural for mirroring websites. Just feed iSiloX the URL and link depth, and it will produce an archive file that can be browsed just as if it was the actual website. Of course, this was much more useful back in the PalmOS days when the presentation of the web on a portable device was much more limited.

The iSilo iPhone App: User Interface

The iSilo iPhone App: User Interface Both having names that start with a lower-case “i,” it would seem that iSilo and the iPhone were made for each other. At $9.99 on the App Store, it is half the price of the iSilo client for other platforms (though this price may be raised at any time).

Like other platforms’ iSilo clients, the iPhone version is capable of reading iSilo-format documents. However, unlike the other versions, the lack of hardware buttons on the iPhone leads to some hard choices in the user interface.

Scrolling up and down can be done by dragging and “flicking” just as with other iPhone apps. But there are other functions that can be performed by single, double, or triple-tapping the screen at various points. (They can be edited from within the Options menus.)

Tapping in the very middle of the screen brings up a display of the single-tap commands, then tapping again in the same place switches to the display of double-tap commands (as seen at left), then triple-tap.

Thus, tapping twice in the lower left corner of the screen would move to the previous page in the document, or tapping twice in the middle top would page up. The interface is a bit clunky, with so many different locations and taps to rememberâ€”and if you are in the habit from using other applications of just tapping anywhere in the lower part of the screen, iSilo could be a little hard to get used to.

Configuration Menu

Another place where the interface is a little clunky is in the configuration menu (accessed by tapping the “More” icon at the lower right corner of the screen). This will bring up a list of all possible functionsâ€”File, Edit, Find, Mark, Go To, and Toolsâ€”in one single panel.

Some of the options are a bit unclear. For instance, if you want to change the font, you need to go to the “Edit” section and choose “Options”. (However, changing the font is frequently ineffective; see below.) The options for autoscroll, rotation lock (to prevent the screen from changing orientation if you flip the device on its side), and full screen display are under “Tools,” at the very bottom.

Thus, to engage full-screen mode (getting rid of the title bar at the top and the menu bar at the bottom), you must go into the configuration menu and scroll to the very bottom. (Also, if you attempt to page down with a tap, you will come right back out of it again, since it is turned off by tapping at the bottom of the screen where the menu bar would be.) There is room for improvement here.

Viewing Other File Types

Viewing Other File Types Unlike other iSilo clients, the iPhone version of iSilo has been blessed with the ability to display several document formats in addition to iSiloâ€”most notably PDF, Word, RTF, unaltered HTML, as well as JPEG and other image formats. No conversion is necessary to load these documents into iSilo. Perhaps the iSilo people figured that these document viewing abilities might make the iPod iSilo more attractive to people who had never used it before.

Most of the PDFs I loaded as a test displayed adequatelyâ€”at least as well as they would appear in Air Sharing’s viewer. The only failures were a Wowio PDF (which only displayed the first couple of pages and everything else was blankâ€”perhaps this was due to whatever copy protection method Wowio uses) and my 153-megabyte Spycraft 2.0 PDF (iSilo churned gamely away for a couple of minutes trying to load it, then the iPod crashed to the silver-apple screenâ€”but then, I didn’t really expect it to work).

Loading iSilo: “I can do that, WebDAV.”

Loading iSilo: “I can do that, WebDAV.” Once you have files in a format iSilo can read, it is necessary to load them. As with eReader, iSilo can pull down compatible files from any web server, including one on your own desktop computer. But unlike eReader (or BookShelf, or Stanza), iSilo offers the ability to load files into its memory without needing a webserver or any specialized PC-side conduit at all.

Like Air Sharing, iSilo has its own WebDAV server built in. This means that you can tell iSilo to set itself up as a file server on your wireless network which you can access with a URL. You can then add it to “My Network Places” on your Windows computer, explore to it, and move files into and out of it just as you would any network drive. In short, the app itself is also its own conduit.

This also means that you can use iSilo just as you would Air Sharingâ€”as a network hard drive utility to transfer files from one computer to another without ever wanting or needing to view them on the iPhone.

Loading files in this way is easy and fast, at least for me. It means no having to mess around with a conduit that may not actually work properly. I wish other e-reading apps would offer this function!

Text Display

Text Display iSilo books are displayed by default in a Verdana sans serif font. They can be viewed in either portrait or landscape; iSilo has a very smooth accelerometer screen-flip function. The documents look very much as they did in their original HTML format (making allowances for screen size), including italics, bold, links, and even tables.

The font is reminiscent of the fonts available on the old PalmOS devices where iSilo was born. Someone used to reading on those devices might see very little difference in how the document is displayed.

However, these days I tend to prefer reading in a serif font, such as Georgia, for the way it guides the eyes along. iSilo does have a font-setting dialogue under its Options menu, where the font can be changed to any that is available on the iPhoneâ€”but for some inexplicable reason, of all the documents I tried to change the font with, the only one where it stuck was the converted HTML Tor e-book of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire (as seen in the screenshot near the top of this review).

I am not sure whether something in the document’s HTML (or in my iSiloX conversion of it) is overriding my font choice, or if it’s something wrong with the iSilo clientâ€”but whatever it is, it certainly is annoying.

[Edit: I have since been informed that this has to do with the way that iSilo documents have a specific font family (serif or sans serif) set, and you must choose which font is displayed for each family. You can choose to set a serif font to be displayed for sans serif families, by turning "Set Defaults" on, changing "Family" to "Sans Serif," and then choosing the serif font, such as "Georgia". I tried this, and it worked. Still, it only serves as more evidence of the overall clunkiness of the application and its configuration options.]

One thing I have found while reading documents in iSilo is that sometimes the scrolling can be decidedly sluggish. Sometimes it will not even scroll at all, no matter how much I flick itâ€”and then it comes unstuck and immediately jumps several pages down.

Another mild annoyance has to do with the “soft” scrolling selection from iSiloXâ€”a format conversion option which is supposed to allow scrolling across boundaries between different webpages in the same iSilo file.

I used soft scrolling with Baen Webscription books (which are set up in a one-webpage-per-chapter format) when I was using iSilo on my PalmOS machines so I would not have to click a link to jump to the next chapter, just hit the down button again to scroll across the boundary. However, the iPhone iSilo client does not seem to recognize soft scrolling. (I wonder if it is because of the same API issue that makes BookShelf have to load books in 35K chunks?)

Conclusion

Back in the PalmOS era, iSilo offered an unparalleled ability to convert HTML documents to a form that could be conveniently carried on a Palm. Since it was the only game in town at the time (other options such as Plucker had not yet come along), it was immediately adopted by professions that relied on rapid access to significant amounts of reference materialâ€”most notably the legal and medical professions.

To this day, a number of medical and legal reference sites continue to support iSilo, and the lack of an iSilo reader had been cited by doctors or lawyers as an overwhelming reason why they could not switch from their old PDA to an iPhone. Happily for those doctors and lawyers, this has now changed. I would have no compunction at all recommending the iPhone iSilo to people who need to use iSilo professionally (or others who have a bunch of files already in iSilo formats).

However, due to its current clunkiness in comparison to the various other choices available,Now i am searched the iSilo v1.31 for iPhone free share for you! Enjoy it!

iPhone Sales Hit 17 Million

Apple has sold a total of 17 million iPhones — including sales of both the original iPhone and iPhone 3G — since launch, according to the company’s vice president of iPod and iPhone product marketing.

Speaking at the launch of Apple’s iPhone 3.0 software last week, Joswiak said the figure — which includes 13.7 million iPhones sold in 2008 — beat Apple’s target of 10 million by a wide margin.

Including sales of the iPod touch, Apple has sold 30 million devices running the iPhone OS.

Other successes including Apple’s iPhone developer programme, which boasts 50,000 members, while the number of applications available via the company’s App Store now exceeds 25,000. There have been 800 million total downloads on the App Store so far, Apple said.

Why no iPhone support for Firefox mobile beta?

Mozilla just released the beta test version of Fennec, its mobile Firefox browser. The beta version is still slow and has a ways to go before it can compete with Apple’s iPhone-ized Safari browser, but these are forgivable shortcomings, given its beta status.

No, the real problem with Fennec is that it’s available only for one platform: Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet. Who cares about that device?

Seriously, while the rest of the world is experimenting first on the iPhone, why is Mozilla futzing around with a niche platform like Nokia’s N810? I don’t know a single person who has one, developer or otherwise. Even if Mozilla makes Fennec sing, who is going to care?

More to the point, who is going to help make it sing? Mozilla’s desktop Firefox browser has been impressive in its innovations, in part because it marshalls a massive community that enables Mozilla to take advantage of resources otherwise beyond its small staff.

I solicited comment on the choice of platform but have yet to hear back from Mozilla on the matter.

Yes, as CNET reports, there are emulators for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows to help developers get a head start on other platforms. But it’s not the same. And, frankly, it’s not really useful: Mozilla should be targeting the top platforms for its Fennec releases, not an obscure Internet tablet.

Early on, Fennec (nee “Minimo”) was available only for Windows Mobile devices, which further rendered it irrelevant to the crowd most likely to help develop it.

Sure, Apple is unlikely to welcome a competitive browser to the iPhone, but Mozilla is used to swimming against the current. You don’t achieve 20 percent market share on Microsoft’s Windows fortress unless you know how to build and deliver compelling value.

Ben Feldman, a software developer, noted to me in a Tweet that

Mozilla already said there won’t be iPhone or Android versions because of inability/restrictions on running code they need to use. If I remember correctly, it had to do with restrictions on run non-SDK code, and Android is all Java at the moment.

So maybe it’s Apple that’s to blame.

If so, Mozilla needs to up the public pressure on Apple to open up the iPhone to this sort of development. Firefox is the best browser for personal computers, even better than Apple’s Safari. iPhone users shouldn’t have to slum with Apple’s iPhone-enabled version of Safari if (or when) Mozilla creates something better. Put the pressure on, Mozilla.

USB tethering with iPhone OS 3.0 apparently works

iphone 3.0 tethering A developer has accidentally enabled USB tethering with a beta of Apple’s new iPhone OS 3.0. The feature appears to work, so it is just up to the carriers to determine whether they can handle the load when iPhone OS 3.0 is expected to ship this summer.

USB tethering—where a cell phone is used as a modem for a computer—is one of the most-requested features for the iPhone, and (half of) it has finally arrived in iPhone OS 3.0. Scott Forstall, Apple’s Senior VP of iPhone Software, stated on Tuesday that the feature is now built into the OS, but carriers will have to choose whether to take on all that extra network burden and allow access. As developers continue to tinker with the iPhone OS 3.0 beta, though, one has unlocked access to iPhone tethering and taken it for a spin.

Developer Steve Troughton-Smith has posted screenshots of his adventures in iPhone tethering to his Twitter account. Unfortunately, Steve has no idea how he did it, only tweeting that he was hacking around with APNs in the Carrier.bundle itcc file. Steve says the feature appears in the Network section of the Settings app, but while “tethering over USB seems to work,” it tends to cause a hard-reboot of the phone. Steve is in Ireland using O2, and testing over Bluetooth is next.

It is worth reiterating that the ability to tether an iPhone for data is not a technical challenge; it’s a network challenge. You probably heard that the iPhone is responsible for bringing AT&T practically to its knees this past week at SXSW in Austin, TX, and that’s just from tiny bits of mobile sites and the like. Computers can haul far more data down a connection, and many carriers are simply not ready to provide that large of a wireless pipe to 17 million iPhone owners yet.

Android 1.1 update available

Google has issued an update for the unlocked version of the Android phone. The version is specifically made for developers.

Several bug fixes for issues that involve the alarm clock, device sleep, POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) email, and email notification are among the updates. Added to this includes the ability to save MMS attachments and voice search. As for matters of accessibility to applications, Google will only block those applications, regardless of whether they are free or paid, that use Google’s copy protection. Different from the consumer version which allows users to copy applications which are sold exclusively through T-Mobile’s Network. With this however, Google is blocking access to all copy protected applications, even for copy protected applications on the open device.

Dan Morrill, Developer Advocate for Android says “many developers are concerned about the unauthorized redistribution of their applications, developer phones like the ADP1 allow for unrestricted access to the device’s contents, making it impossible to enforce copy protection. If you choose to add copy protection when you upload your application to the Android Market, then you won’t be able to test it on the ADP1’s Android market client.” [via CNET]

Top 10 Free Music Based Games for the iPhone & iPod Touch

Music-based games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have become wildly popular, so it only makes sense that similar games are being created for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Both devices have a plethora of gaming apps, but only a handful of those are free and based around music. Here are 10 - perfect for long hours stuck in airports, commuter trains, and so on.

What are some of your favorite music-based games for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and which do you wish existed?

Aero Drum Free

While it may not be as exciting as beating the skins of an actual drum kit, Aero Drum Free will still help you work out some of your frustrations by beating out a sick rhythm. Just follow the dots to play snare, cymbal and bass drum and try to beat the scores.

As with all of the “X Game Free” versions, this is a trial version, and there are more features in the paid app. (App Store Rating: 2 stars)

Aero Guitar Free

aero guitar free

At some point or another, everyone has “played” air guitar, but with the help of Aero Guitar Free, now you can actually feel like you are accomplishing something! This free version of the app will allow you to sample the game before you buy the full one, and will teach you the basic of up strokes, down strokes and basic tapping.

Another rhythm action game, but at least it makes you feel like you are doing more than just tapping. (App Store Rating: 2 stars)

Aero Synth Free

Ever wish you had the mad skills of a club DJ? Well, more than likely you never will, but Aero Synth Free will at least help you live out that fantasy a bit more. Tap along as the electronic music plays and keep the beat going, but if you miss one of the bubbles in the four streams, the music goes back to its original intro until you are on track again.

The side scrolling nature of this game is a bit prohibitive as your hand can hide the lower streams. (App Store Rating: 2.5 stars)

Chrimbell

chrimbell

There is nothing quite like the sound of bells playing along with a Christmas carol, and with Chrimbell you can reproduce that sound to go along with some old time hits. Choose from Christmas carols like “Away In A Manger” or “Jingle Bells” and then choose your bell and get to playing.

It appears it does need the built-in speaker of the iPhone or iPod Touch version 2 to work as I couldn’t get any sound on my iPod Touch 1. (App Store Rating: 2.5 stars)

Mardo’s Music Trivia - Lite Version

ultimate music trivia

Who doesn’t love to test their knowledge of trivial facts? With Mardo’s Ultimate Music Trivia you can see how well you do across a whole range of musical genres from punk to country.

The lite version is very lite, but it will give you a feeling for how the full version plays and if it will even interest you. (App Store Rating: 2 stars)

rePete Lite

repete lite

Harking back to the days of the Simon electronic game, rePete Lite allows you to choose a playing grid of 4, 6 or 9 light boxes and then uses lights and sound to show you the pattern you need to remember.

As with most memory games out there, watch out for the addictive factor. (App Store Rating: 2.5 stars)

synthPond Lite

synthpond lite

A fairly complex app, synthPond Lite allows you to place different types of nodes around the screen to create synthetic music. You can change their pitch, speed and a whole lot more.

While most lite versions of games really scale back on their features, this one seems to be complete in all the right places. (App Store Rating: 2.5 stars)

Tap Tap Revenge

tap tap revenge

Have a desire to tap your iPhone or iPod Touch screen to a rhythm? Then Tap Tap Revenge Tap Tap Revenge reviews is your answer. With a name obviously inspired by Japan’s mega-popular Dance Dance Revolution, the actual game play takes its cues from the addictive Guitar Hero.

While the music is generic in this version, that is what allows them to keep it being released for free. I personally find the game a bit frustrating, but then I have huge fingers and am not exactly known for my ability to keep a beat. (App Store Rating: 3 stars)

ThumbStruck Free

thumbstruck free

Compared to other rhythm-based games, ThumbStruck Live has you hitting the musical elemental balls on three bars instead of the usual one. Your thumbs will be dancing all over the board to keep up with this one.

This game definitely steps up the rhythm-based genre by requiring you to be a lot more agile and coordinated to hit all three sections of the board. (App Store Rating: 2.5 stars)

Xmas In Space: Play-a-Long Christmas Carols

xmas in space

Who knew they had Christmas on other planets? Well, according to Xmas In Space:Play-a-Long Christmas Carols, they do, and they have sent you a music app that allows you to play along with bells or harps to some of your favorite Christmas carols.

Though the game has no way to measure how well you did, the song mixes are cute, and the fire crackling sound is oddly comforting.

iPhone Apps For Designers And Bloggers

Now I’ll admit that I don’t have an iphone…but I do have an iPod Touch…which is the next best thing! I’ll go over some details of how I use the apps on my touch to help me design and keep my blog up to date!

First off…Just in case you don’t want to read all this I made a short crappy video of some of the apps that I use!

Kern: The Game

First off, I need to keep my typography skills in shape so I downloaded this game. The gist of the game is to position a missing letter in a word that is falling from the top of the screen. The more actuate the kerning the higher the score. Now this game seems simple and easy, but it has proven to be difficult! A fun way to sharpen your type skills and pass the time.

What The Font?

I know that I don’t have a camera on my touch, but I can stil save images from mail or safari and use this app. What The font attempts to identify fonts from your uploaded images. Very useful on the go (especially for iphone users.)

Analytics

If you run a website or blog odds are you have google analytics set up. This app provides an iphone interface to google’s less than desirable flash graphic interface. Good for checking out your website stats on the go.

Drop Box

While not necessarily an iphone app, the drop box website has a lovey iphone interface. I use dropbox on a regular basis to transfer files between computers. Very helpful if you have a multi-computer set up and need to keep some files synced.

Wordpress iPhone App

I ride the subway to and from work every day. This means I have about 30 mins to kill each way. The wordpress iPhone app is extremely usefull when I get blogging ideas on the train. In fact, many of the first drafts of my posts are composed on this ap!

Tweetie

If you aren’t on twitter now…well you might as well shut your computer down and go back to the stone ages. The design community on Twitter is HUGE! Tons of well known and not so well known helpful designers out there tweeting all sorts of designy goodness. How the heck do you keep up with it? IMO Tweetie is the best twitter app out there. Landscape keyboard, and easy search functions so you dont miss replies.

But as they say, there is never a second chance to first impression, so Apple iphone rules. Originality rules because its original. You can try them too. They can give any sophisticated mobile phone a run for their money. And you can buy them because we had to gruel before we could find the top 10 models which we could present to you.
