Press Release: Myvu Crystal Ready for the iPhone

Posted by: Heather on Oct 29 2008 - 25 views

Myvu announced today that their Myvu Crystal personal media viewer is now compatible with the iPhone.  All that is needed for integration is a cable that can be purchased from Myvu for $24.99.  I have to admit that this is just one of the coolest looking electronic products out there.  It always makes me think of the character from Star Trek, Geordi La Forge.  He’s the one with the tiny visor on, which is how I described him to my other half, so I could find out his name.  Sorry, I’m not a Trekie.  With the Crystal, not only do you get the media viewing, but they also have a pair of noise canceling earbuds built-in.  This is a great idea for someone who travels often.  The Crystal is much more compact than trying to carry a portable DVD player or laptop for movie viewing.  Check out the complete press release from Myvu after the break.

What can an iPhone really do for you?

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 29 2008 - 31 views

Our friend Jack over at Experience Mobility is a staunch WinMo user, and wouldn’t even consider an iPhone, until now. What , I ask may have swayed his views. Okay, obviously it’s a bit of a joke, but a remote control app for your personalised robot is just around the corner at the app store!

The app is called the inebriator, who would have guessed? if the video above doesn’t appear, use this link,

The Inebriator

I’m still not convinced, but who am I to judge!

Quick Look: Shufflepuck for iPhone and iPod Touch

Posted by: dgoldring on Oct 24 2008 - 43 views

I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell you all about a game on my iPod Touch that has been taking way too much of my time: Shufflepuck.  A lot of you are probably familiar with this game, which is a tabletop version of shuffleboard.  Over the years, I have seen variations of this game in numerous bars, restaurants, and old fashioned (as in non-video) game rooms (which are becoming few and far between.)   And I have to say that I was impressed by how true to the original game the iPod version came.

OLO Computer’s "Redfly" for the iPhone: Concept

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 18 2008 - 50 views

We’ve all seen the Celio Redfly, Windows Mobile companion right, not a netbook, but a device you plug your Windows Mobile device into, and the device provides the OS to run the Redfly. Most Windows Mobile users would also be familiar with Soti’s Pocket Controller Pro, which allows you full access to your device from any PC, whilst connected through activesync. If you had an iPhone, would you like a similair solution? This concept from OLO Computers may be what you are waiting for!

OLOiPhoneCompanion
Although this is a concept at the moment, it looks promising, even down to the detail, of an included dock that let’s the iPhone function as a touch pad when docked. Is this something you’d like to use? I can see the advantages for enterprise users with a device like this.

What’s the Most Popular Phone For Web Browsing?

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 17 2008 - 17 views

razrWeb Lot’s of companies track, Internet usage from mobile phones, and incredibly the statistics show that Symbian/Linux based phones are the most used for net access. This may be surprising to most people, but seriously, if you think about it, Nokia’s phones seem to rule the handset market.

With service providers prepared to subsidise handsets on contracts, and most people’s need to save money, a lot of the non windows mobile, iPhone, models have been the norm for mobile phone preferences of the masses. Therefore you would not be surprised that the most popular, most used, phones used for internet browsing belong to the Motorola Razor family.

This statistic is pretty interesting: Not only does the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Razr continue to outsell the Apple iPhone, more people are using it to access to the mobile Web. So says AdMob, anyway, in a report of the ad impressions it gets from each handset across the 5,000-plus sites it serves.

AdMob releases a report each month about the mobile advertising space. The company has been providing statistics on mobile ads since September 2007. This month’s report sheds some interesting light on which phones are surfing the mobile Web the most. It ain’t the iPhone. In fact, the iPhone isn’t even in second place

With the advanced browsers available on the iPhone and windows mobile, it sort of seems odd, but then again, I’ve got a really simple  samsung phone, with opera mini installed, and I do actually use it quite a bit for essentials, checking email, checking JAMM, and also going through my Google reader feeds. The fact that the Razr is still featuring so prominently in the mobile arena is probably  the most surprising fact that comes out of this though.

Astraware Brings Sudoku To The iPhone

Posted by: dgoldring on Oct 17 2008 - 8 views

I have been a fan of Sudoku ever since it began appearing locally in the Washington Post several years ago.  And in that time, I have tested, played, and reviewed virtually every Sudoku game available for Windows Mobile.  Through all of this testing, one of the best variations available has been the first Sudoku game I ever reviewed: Astraware Sudoku.

Now, Astraware is bringing all of the fantastic Sudoku gameplay to the iPhone, including the puzzle generator and Sudoku of the Day emails.  This is Astraware’s third foray into the iPhone market, as Sudoku joins GTS World Racing and Golden Skull.

Check out more information at the Astraware site, and then head on over to the iTunes App Store to download your copy today.
