By Leanna Lofte, Sunday, Nov 7, 2010 | Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they’re fair game. To see what we picked this week, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break! Deserving of a truly in-depth app review, I’m going with Cydia’s BiteSMS since I consistently list it as one of my three reasons for jailbreaking. BiteSMS replaces the messaging app, with tons of options (which is why it deserves more attention) including individual contact sms tones. As you can see from the screenie, it gives you contact pics with the message list as well as on incoming message. Of course, the option I like Read More

Pogoplug, der Netzwerk-Speicherplatz in den heimischen vier Wänden, steht ab sofort auch mit einer Software-Version für den Fernzugriff vom iPad im App Store zum Download. PogoplugHD (kostenlos; App Store-Link) streamt lokal abgelegte Filme, Musik und Photos ins Netz; verschickt Dateifreigaben und greift auf ‘befreundete’ Datengräber zu. Mehr Informationen zu diesem (Hardware-)Produkt hatte ich bereits letzten November im Artikel “Seagate-Netzwerkspeicher mit Pogoplug-Fernzugriff auch vom iPhone” zusammengetragen. Solange Facebook weiter keine native iPad-Anwendung veröffentlicht, bleibt Platz für Mitbewerber. ‘Social for the iPad’ (1.59 €; App Store-Link) von Christian Arild Strommen ist ein solcher, vielversprechender Zugang zum Alpha-Tier unter den sozialen Netzwerken. Der Hersteller von Navigations-Software TomTom bietet seit vergangenem Herbst eine KFZ-Halterung (Affiliate-Link) für iPhone 3G und 3GS an, die über einen integrierten GPS-Empfänger eine verbesserte Positionsbestimmung ermöglicht. Um auch das iPhone 4 in der zirka 90-€-teuren Vorrichtung zu fixieren, ist ein wenig Klettverschluss von Nöten. Dieser Geistesblitz ist nach mehreren Wochen ‘der Read More

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Friday, September 3, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Welcome to a special rapid-fire edition of iPad + iPhone Gems. We’re clearing the decks of queued-up applications in the lead up to next week’s release of new iPods, so most of the 10 apps below are all getting only quick writeups designed to let you know whether to invest your cash and time, or move along. Without further ado, let’s dive right into this grab bag of titles. Our top picks are ABC Wildlife!, Let’s Create! Pottery HD, No, Human, and Twitter version 3.1 for iPad. Read on for all the details. ABC Wildlife! ($2, version 2.2) from Peapod Labs is an iPhone and iPod touch version of the animal and alphabet learning tool we reviewed earlier and more fully this week for the iPad. Selling for $1 less, it uses the same Read More

There are plenty of hurdles between a good idea and App Store success; even after your killer app hits the virtual shelves, the challenges of discoverability and competitors sandbagging your app with Astroturfed bad reviews add up to plenty of headaches. Still, once past the biggest stumbling block -- Apple giving a thumbs up or thumbs down -- things should get easier, right? Unfortunately, some intriguing apps end up in approval limbo, the stranded state between all-clear and no-thanks that's reserved for some of the most innovative and paradigm-busting apps; the apps that make Apple go "Hmm..." and force the app approval team to exercise the pocket veto. Without a clear rejection (telling the dev what can be fixed), there's nothing to do but wait. The most high-profile limbo case is Google Voice, which as far as we know is still being reviewed by Apple's team more than a year after Read More
