Slingbox Mobile for iPhone and iPod Touch… First Look

By

On May 13, 2009

Slingplayer Mobile for iPhone and iPod Touch is live in the App Store. For $30 you too can watch TV anywhere… so long as you have WiFi access. (Thanks AT&T… for nothing…)

Leaving the controversy aside we wanted to give you a quick look at the app. The short version… set up is simple, the app works great and if you MUST have access to all the shows on your Tivo or live tv… it is a great app.

Here are some screen caps from the initial start up of the app…

“Slimy Of The Week” Award Goes To… AT&T

By

On

Okay… so it is all over the blogosphere that Slingplayer Mobile for iPhone will arrive in the next few hours. (As of this post it is live in the UK.) It is also well known that the original app was submitted a while back but was held up so that 3G access could be removed. Moreover, it is clear now that, as suspected, AT&T was the evil force behind the crippling of the app. Engadget has the full release and some scathing comments to offer. Comments based on such things as AT&T making a distinction between "dumb phones" and "smart phones" even though some of those "dumb phones" are pretty smart and VERY video savy. Comments based on AT&T suddenly stating that it considers "smartphones like the iPhone to be personal computers in that they have the same hardware and software attributes as PCs." and that, as a result, a different standard applies to it than other phones. Comments based on the fact that some phones on AT&T’s network ALREADY run Slingplayer and AT&T says nothing.

All of this is annoying. It is not, however, the reason I am giving AT&T the "Slimy of the Week Award". This is…

Slingplayer For iPhone – Good News Bad News

By

On May 12, 2009

According to AppleInsider Slingplayer for iPhone will be live in the App Store some time in the next 24 hours.

That’s the good news. Now the bad…

It will be WiFi only (ATT wins!!!!) and cost $30.

Ouch! This is a bit disappointing on both fronts. That noted… I’ll be buying it.

Email ‘n Walk – Review

By

On

There are some apps that make you stop and think, "WOW, This is amazing! I never thought about this but LOVE it!"

This is not one of them.

Here’s the description from the developer:

Email ‘!! Walk lets you compose emails on the go’ To send an email while on the move, just open up Email ‘n Walk. and enter the subject and message text while a transparent view shows the world around you via your iPhone’s camera. Then, just hit "send" to send the message to the iPhone mail app, pick your recipients, and send away! Note: We can’t take any responsibility for your stupidity, so please don’t go walking into traffic, off of cliffs, or into the middle of gunfights while emailing.

The id Type and Protocols

Editor’s note: I recently bumped into a bit of Objective-C syntax that was unfamiliar to me. The code was in this form: id<SomeProtocol> variableName = [someObject someMessage] I’d never seen a protocol paired with an id type. I asked Paul Cantrell about it and he prepared this:

Rumor Roundup 5/11/09

WWDC is just a month away and that can mean only one thing… a flurry of iPhone OS and hardware rumors.

The latest rumors making the rounds come from an anonymous poster on a Chinese Apple fan site. (So you KNOW it’s reliable!!) Posted over on AppleInsider, patapon200 writes that he (she?) used a prototype of the next-gen iPhone thanks to a friend who works  (used to??) at Foxconn, the site of iPhone manufacturing.

The long and short of it….

The announcement that Amazon launched a new iPhone optimized site for the Kindle Store was a terrific step in the right direction for iPhone-carrying Kindle owners. What i did not pick up on, but 9to5 mac did was this interesting little tidbit…

Big News On The Kindle iPhone App Front

By

On May 11, 2009

One of the biggest complaints many of us have with regard to the Kindle app for iPhone and iPod Touch is that it is effectively "read only".

In other words, you can access your bookshelf and sync your position back to Amazons servers, but you cannot browse or buy books from it the way you can on the Kindle itself.

Well, you still can’t… but Amazon has gone and done the next best thing.
