Wir schreiben das Jahr 2011. Das Thema digitale Musik ist für mich (ganz persönlich) weiterhin nur unzureichend beackert. Lokale Dateien bereiten mir ernsthaft Kopfschmerzen. Insbesondere wenn es um digitale Güter geht, die nicht individuell auf mich zugeschnitten sind (Fotos, etc.) sondern sich kinderleicht reproduzieren lassen. Ohne Re-Download-Möglichkeit, Streaming-Angebot oder einem vernünftigen Sync, spielt auch Apple diesbezüglich eine ziemlich grausame Partie. Schon simple Sache scheitern: Podcast auf Gerät A angehört, Gerät B weiß ohne zweifachen (!) Kabelabgleich nicht die aktuelle Abspielposition. Exakt dieser Anwendungsfall kommt bei mir (fast) täglich vor. Dazu reicht der Umstand, dass man neben seinem iPhone einen zweiten iPod – beispielsweise für das Fitnessstudio – besitzt. Die derzeitige Herangehensweise verfolgt das Konzept: ‘Ein Computer, ein mobiles System’. Wenn sich zwischen das iPhone und den Laptop jedoch noch ein iPad quetscht, verpufft das gesamte Konstrukt. Über ein gemeinsames Media-Center mit Multi-User-Zugriff im Familienkreis ganz zu schweigen. Eine sehr schöne Brandrede unter dem Titel “No iLife is an Island” hielt dazu kürzlich John Siracusa im ‘Hypercritical’-Podcast. Aber ich schweife ab. Dies nur als Einleitung zu drei (ganz spezifischen) Apps, die versuchen unter widrigen Umständen gewisse Bedürfnisse abzudecken. Eavesdrop (1.59 €; App Store-Link) streamt Musiktitel der lokalen iOS-Bibliothek über WiFi oder Bluetooth an Freunde der Umgebung. Diese müssen ebenfalls das App-Store-Programm vorhalten. Beide Geräte finden sich automatisch. Einer darf ‘Sender’ spielen, der andere hört lediglich zu. Das funktioniert auch, wenn die App nach der ersten Autorisierung im Hintergrund läuft. Allerdings kann lediglich ein Gerät gleichzeitig den Stream empfangen. Als ‘Funkhaus’ kämpft man mit einigen Stolpersteinen. So funktioniert beispielsweise die Taste um einen Titel nach vorne zu Springen nicht – an dessen Stelle muss man über die Listenauswahl navigieren. Hat man eine ‘Wiedergabeliste’ erstellt, lassen sich keine neuen Titel hinzufügen, ohne die aktuelle Musikausgabe zu unterbrechen. Wer nicht auf romantisches ‘Sich-den-Kopfhörer-Teilen’ steht, behilft sich mit dieser App, um schnell einen Musiktitel für jemanden anzuspielen. Update: Titel lassen sich doch nachträglich hinzufügen, indem man die Wiedergabenliste nach unten zieht. Und wenn man dann noch so clever wäre, die ‘Wiederholungsschleife’ auszuschalten, funktioniert auch die Taste um einen Titel nach vorne zu springen. Update-Ende iBackupTunes (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link) springt einen ganzen Satz weiter: hier wird kopiert und nicht gestreamt. Um die Songs der iPhone- oder iPad-Musikbibliothek ohne iTunes wieder runter vom mobilen Gerät zu bekommen, müssen die Titel (logischerweise) erst einmal in die App importieren werden. Das anschließende Backup erfolgt über FTP, Browser oder Read More

Posted 04/29/2010 at 1:56pm | by Ray Aguilera With 185,000 apps and counting, the App Store is a vast warehouse of digital goodies for your iPhone (and now iPad too). But like most mega-marts, the sheer size of it all makes the good stuff harder to find. We’ve scoured the Store, and found the best apps to help you use your iPhone to it’s fullest potential. Whether it’s games you seek, or productivity tools, we’ve got you covered. As it turns out, there really is an app for that, no matter what that is. The iPhone and iPod touch brought back fun to videogaming, with developers focussing on innovation, affordability, and novelty. Touchscreen and accelerometer controls also force designers to think different, resulting in games that are a glorious collision of classic and cutting-edge gameplay and technology. --Craig Grannell Steph Thirion · $2.99 Eliss is the perfect game for the iPhone’s touch screen. The concept is simple--tear apart and combine planets and drop them into like-colored/sized “squeesars.” A successful drop sees a planet vanish in a cloud of stardust, which can be mopped up to replenish energy lost during collisions of differently colored planets. Requiring unique tactics for each level, Eliss is tough but rewarding, and has beautiful retro visuals and audio. It might look old-school, but Eliss is a modern multitouch creation. Arthur Ham · $0.99 We’ve no idea what the little guy in Run! is sprinting toward, but we hope it’s a great prize, because along the way he has to dodge or destroy numerous foes (zombies, walls, lethal giant saws) with the help of only his cunning and a giant bazooka. The superficially similar Canabalt may have more style, but Run! beats it on price, quirkiness, fun, variety, and the ability to flying-kick deadly leaping sharks in the head. Yeah, you read that right. You know you've always wanted to kick a shark. Drömsynt · $0.99 Imagine the mutant love child of Breakout, Pong, and a simplified Super Mario Bros. (or Pac-Land, if you’re old enough!) and you’ve got Squareball. Your ball constantly bounces and you swipe levels left and right, trying to collect green blocks and avoid hazards like holes and red blocks. It sounds simple, but the level design is devious, ensuring the game is both insanely frustrating and murderously addictive. Mini time-attack challenges add extra value. Be prepared to die... a lot.

is a new TUAW series that we'll run occasionally so you can see what the bloggers at your favorite Apple site are running on their pocket devices. This was suggested by one of our readers, who wanted to know just what kind of stuff we had on our iPhones. Since we're a group of individuals who all think a bit differently, it makes a lot of sense to have each of the bloggers in turn write up a short blurb on their favorite apps. In this post I'll list those apps that deserve special attention, but to see all of the apps that I currently have on my iPhone 3GS, you'll need to take a look at the gallery at the end of the post. To start with, you'll find that I have a lot of camera apps. In nearly three years, I've used my iPhones to take literally thousands of pictures. I love the look of most of the photos, and it's even more fun to run them through a filter or two to add some pizazz to the pics. I currently have the default iPhone Camera and Photos apps, but have added Best Camera, Zoom Lens, Pano, Color Splash, Project 365, Lo-Mob, Self Image, ReelDirector (for video), FocalLab, CinemaFX, iTimeLapse, iCamcorder (for video), and CameraForiPad to my 3GS. eBook readers make up another big category of iPhone apps for me -- I've loaded Kindle for iPhone, eReader, and Stanza onto the 3GS. You can bet that when iBook appears on the iPhone platform later this year, I'll add it immediately. I like to travel, although I'm not traveling for business as much as I had in previous years. I keep TripIt, Trip Journal, Ships Ahoy!, and FlightTrack on the 3GS to help keep me informed and amused while I'm traveling. I'm not what you'd exactly call a gamer, so my game choices are pretty dull. Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition has been a favorite for years, Skee-Ball is still on my phone (although I don't play it often), and Flick Bowling and Flick Bowling 2 are also still on this phone. DoodleJump is still my favorite iPhone game, although I frankly suck at it, and Astraware Solitaire, Scrabble, and Apple's own Texas Hold'em are also keepers. I do some personal blogs from the iPhone using Tumblr and WordPress, but I want to move the blogging to my Read More

Feb 8th 2010 at 9:00AM love to use this for live music concerts. I would record my kids and sent it to the grandparents. I want to record what goes on in my office every day. Nobody believes me when I just tell them. I'd record anything interesting. My wife would love to take videos of her mom who is 84 years old. To record family history would preserve it for generations My children growing up.... I'd record the look on my wife's face when she returns home form Afgahnistan. I want to record my friend going over the handlebars of his mountian bike when he hits something again. I want to record my 2 year old doing the mirror dance. I would have recorded Al Sharpton taking a piss while he was on the phone in the airport. He just used one hand and never got off the phone. It would have been great on YouTube if I had that app. TUAW (or The Unofficial Apple Weblog) is a website devoted to tips, reviews, news, analysis and opinion on everything Apple. © 2011 AOL Inc.

Négligemment posé sur une étagère, votre iPhone scrute pour vous la pièce et vous envoie à intervalles réguliers des images de ce qui se passe en votre absence. Le rêve de tout espion en herbe prend la forme de l'application Wireless Webcamera,pas franchement nouvelle, mais qui nous arrive aujourd'hui en version 1.5, avec quelques nouveautés au programme. Pour ceux qui n'auraient jamais entendu parler de cette application, on vous rappelle le principe : votre iPhone prend à intervalles réguliers des photos de son environnement, que vous pouvez découvrir en temps réel, à distance, en vous connectant au terminal par l'intermédiaire de votre navigateur Web. On aura la possibilité de paramétrer à quelle fréquence les images doivent être actualisées, mais aussi de protéger l'accès à l'application par mot de passe. Dans cette version 1.5, l'éditeur ajoute la compatibilité avec le protocole Bonjour, ainsi que la possibilité de fermer l'application à distance, mais aussi la constitution de séquences vidéo .mov à partir des images successives enregistrées. Idéal pour jouer les espions ? Oui et non. Le principal défaut de cette application est que l'on a tendance à garder son téléphone sur soi, mais qui sait, certains d'entre vous y verront sans doute un intérêt Comptez 0,79 euro. Notez que nous n'avons pas testé cette application. Read More
