I am just trying to see how well this WordPress app publishes photos taken with my iPhone. In the past this app has been wretched.
What bothers me with this app is that I can’t place the photos where I want them to be in the post. If you happen to know a way for this to be done please let me know.
Thanks!
A little while later…
…oh wait I figured it out. The code for the photo shows up at the bottom and I can just select, cut and paste where necessary. While it’s tedious on an iPhone it’s effective.
Good night…er morning. lol
By the way here is a screen shot of my home screen after spending literally an hour organizing my apps into folders categorically. I love this new OS despite it’s faults, which is for another blog post later on. Sheesh!
[UPDATE]
I failed to give credit to a cool twitter follower that lead me to the awesome iPhone/iPod Touch apps bookshelf you see above. He’s knunez on twitter. Thanks Kevin!
If you’d like this wallpaper on your homescreen too, you can just go here with your iPhone’s twitter app. (For this to work as your homescreen wallpaper you will need to have updated your device to iOS4.)
Tap the image or link (depending on your twitter app in use).
Tap the screen again to clear the controls.
Do a screen grab of the image.
Go to your photos album and make it a wallpaper like usual and you’re done.
Android has it’s fist mobile meeting app from the creators (Fuze Box) of the Fuze Messenger and Fuze Movie. It’s very basic. Simply login upload what content you want or need and you can meet with people practically anywhere.
Here are the key features for this app:
View desktop sharing – Android attendees gain an unprecedented ability to view meeting participants’ desktops, files and presentations on-the-go and in real-time, while synced with the meeting presenter. The viewing quality and precise synchronization set the standard for visual collaboration among smartphones.
Actively participate in media collaboration – Attendees are able to watch and listen to high-quality video and audio – start, stop and pause with the same level of functionality as meeting hosts have.
Contribute content with presenter functionality – Once the meeting host designates an Android attendee as a presenter, users can share video or image files by uploading directly from their device.
Was browsing jonathanmoore.com and was delighted to read about a unique iPhone game being developed by the superbrothers. Watch more video clips on this game on Vimeo.
I received a recent press release for an iPhone game called Rock, Paper, Airplane. It’s pretty cool and dead simple to play. The object of the game is to maneuver the plane about the room to avoid other flying objects (such as lamps, chairs, a window, a couch and more). But while avoiding these objects there are floating coins that you’ll need to collect, in addition to other bonus items–all the while you’re progressing along a path of the town to a final destination.
This is one of those games that you whip out on your iPhone during a slow moment in your day and need something to help pass the time.
So here is my quick-fire review:
Pros
The controls for the plane are via the iPhone accelerometer. As a plus, you can reverse the controls in the “options” menu.
The 1950s music is cool.
The the look is clever.
Somewhat addicting and therefore fun to play.
Cons
The controls take a little getting used to.
The simulated depth-of-field (distant to closeness) of the approaching objects is a little tricky. So, it’s hard to tell if the plane is truly clear of the approaching objects.
The game was programmed and designed by Daniel Ionita and the music was created by Jason Emmet. Kudos to both!
Overall, I give it 4/5 stars for ease of play, level of enjoyment and pricing.
Straight from the horses mouth, as it were, is the announcement of the apparently ever popular iLike Challenge game now available on the iPhone (but only in the US).
The game is basically a name-this-tune type game, “but for funner” to quote a movie that I love, but can’t seem to remember.
The annoying thing for me is that it’s $2.99. When I saw that I had to pump my brakes and think for a minute while scanning some reviews. I’m not down with buying an app for three bucks, we’re in a recession people…plus I’m cheap and not so proud that I can’t admit it. So back to the reviews, the app has a 4 and 1/2 star average in the app store out of 23 total ratings as of the time that I am writing this post. And the opinions expressed in the reviews are overwhelmingly positive, judging by the frequently used term “fun” that’s used throughout.
Okay, so let me stop talking about it and let you experience it with me. Watch my short little trial run video of the iLike Challenge app.
I saw this and almost fell out of my office chair. Y’all look here!
This is the deal:
It is relatively new.
iPhone 3GS ONLY
Requires a Facebook account
Only $.99 cents
The usage is easy as pie.
Login
Select your video
Add title and description.
And voila! Your friends can see your video instantly from where you are via your iPhone 3GS.
Now, I already know that Pixelpipe does this already, as an addition to it’s pre-3GS function (which was upload pics to a huge number of social networking sites and picture sharing sites). However, lately it’s been getting bad user reviews because of crashing and glitches. In fact, just yesterday I tried to upload some pics and what not… *shaking head* FAIL! iTunes review review 26 reviews with a three-and-a-half star rating. That’s very telling.
So, if you’re an iPhone 3GS owner and desperately in need of a video uploading alternative for Facebook, this sounds like a good deal. While it’s only received 7 reviews on iTunes so far, it’s average star raing is 4 out of 5.
“VideoUp is very simple… What’s realy pretty amazing about the app is just how fast it uploads the videos.” – MG Siegler, techcrunch.com.
