Apple Adds SpeedDate Service to the iPhone

Written by Jamie on 2:29 AM

Apple Incorporated announced that its free online speed dating service had been made available to iPhone and iPod Touch owners, who can now easily search for their soul mates or at least find someone to spend Valentine’s Day with.

The application enables access to SpeedDate members' profiles, with whom one can make contact by sending them a „wink” or a „flirt,” while it also allows people to create their own profile in case they are yet to be registered.

Nevertheless, besides also being able to e-mail members, SpeedDate users are confined to performing only these actions via the service.

After the app is installed on the iPhone, which takes only approximately one minute, it requests the user’s location and then displays a list of the singles in that area aged between 18 and 99.

Unfortunately, the users cannot perform a query based on criteria such as height, body type or hair color, the only filtering option in order to narrow the list down being age-related.

Apple's new iPhone will focus on gaming

Written by Jamie on 4:30 AM

The next upgrade to Apple's iPhone will have a strong focus on gaming, analysts and developers agree.
That's because the gaming market is an increasingly juicy segment of the mobile multimedia space — and it's one that Apple's phenomenally successful iPhone is well-positioned to dominate.

"The iPhone and iPod Touch are becoming a major new handheld gaming platform, and if you look at the App Store and look at what's doing well, that's reflecting," said Bart Decrem, CEO of Tapulous, developer of the popular Tap Tap Revenge iPhone game. "I would look forward to improvements in the device as a gaming platform both for the phone and iPod Touch."

Apple made clear its plans to seize the gaming market in November 2008 when Apple marketing executive Greg Joswiak called the iPhone and iPod Touch "the future of gameplay," posing a serious threat to dedicated gaming consoles such as the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. The reasons? A few things: The quick, electronic distribution method of games and apps via the iPhone's App Store; the accelerometer and multitouch display, which are introducing new approaches to gameplay; and the iPhone's lighter, more portable form factor compared to its rivals.

Numbers say the iPhone is indeed in a position to assault the gaming market. Analysts predict Apple is on track to sell 40 million iPhones or more per year. By way of comparison, Nintendo sold 42 million DS consoles from January 2007 to June 2008.

Tiny Pictures Radar App available for the iPhone

Written by Jamie on 1:44 AM

Tiny Pictures, Inc. announced the release of the iPhone application for Radar, the leading service for real-time sharing of cameraphone pictures, videos and conversations between friends. Available for free at the iPhone App Store, the Radar application lets users take advantage of the advanced browsing capabilities and features of the iPhone and iPod touch.

Mobile phone users are increasingly taking images with their camera phones and sharing them with friends around the block or around the country on social networks.

A new application is now available for the iPhone called Tiny Pictures Radar. The purpose of the Radar app is to let iPhone users share images they take with the phone in real-time with friends on any network using any mobile device. Radar helps users share what they're doing while they're doing it. iPhone pictures sent to Radar are immediately available to friends on any mobile phone on any network; through the desktop site; and through social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Images can also be shared to social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. If you like the idea of Radar but don’t use an iPhone, versions of the software are available for Java platforms, Windows Mobile, Sidekick, and Blackberry handsets. The Radar mobile website also functions with any web-enabled phone on any network around the globe.

New NPR Mobile iPhone application

Written by Jamie on 11:07 PM

Even if you're a regular National Public Radio (NPR) listener, there's a chance you won't catch your favorite shows during the day. Many NPR stations offer podcasts, but if you're not keen on manually hunting for files and loading them onto a media player, you can let a program like the NPR Mobile iPhone app do the work for you.

Written in spare time by a software engineer and volunteer firefighter, the app links directly into the official NPR application programming interface (API) for NPR's normal XML-based distribution.

While not officially affiliated with NPR, the app lets you find NPR stations, listen to streaming audio live, and access podcasts of previously-broadcast episodes, wherever you happen to be. Users load the program, tap the Current Location button -- or type in a city or zip code -- and browse a list of the NPR stations in a particular area.

After you select a station, you can listen to a live stream via Wi-Fi, view a show schedule, or browse through the podcast libraries of popular shows such as These Days to find episodes you may have missed.

One nice feature is the ability to bookmark show segments, so you can listen to part of a show, bookmark a spot, and then do something else with your iPhone until you're ready to resume playback from the same point.
