‘TED Talks’ auf iPhone-freundlicher Webseite
Calendar16 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 19:24:02 UTC +00:00
Über Twitter verkündet der derzeitige TED-Kurator Chris Anderson, dass die “Ideas worth spreading“-Konferenzwebseite seine Videos (“TED Talks” genannt) ab sofort auch in einem iPhone- und iPad-kompatiblen Format anbietet. Webbrowser, die als ‘User Agent‘ nicht mit einem MobileSafari aufwarten, bekommen einen direkten (Download-)Link beziehungsweise weiterhin die Videos im Flash-Format aufgetischt. Vom iPhone lässt sich ein Benutzerkonto anlegen, mit dem Kommentare und Stern-Bewertungen (“Favorites”) vergeben werden. Ungeachtet der Neuerungen steht für den Video-Zugang ebenso das offizielle App Store-Programm TED (kostenlos; App Store-Link), sein inoffizieller Vertreter Mother TED (kostenlos; App Store-Link) oder der hauseigene YouTube-Kanal zur Verfügung. Die TED-Konferenzen (“Technology, Entertainment und Design”) der gleichnamigen Non-Profit-Organisation sind bekannt durch exklusive Referenten, die aus allen (Wissenschafts-)Bereichen 18 Minuten Vortragszeit bekommen, um aus ihrem Fachgebiet zu rezitieren. Über 500 dieser TED Talks lassen sich Online anschauen und als Bildungs-Unterhaltung sehr (weiter-)empfehlen. Read More

Reviews

TED App has best content around.
Gman77 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
If you want access to some of the greatest content on the web, get this app. It has worked perfectly and is full of great features.
TED + mobile = great idea!
mediawolf 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
TED is neck-and-neck with Wikipedia as my favorite content source in any medium. It's great that I can now watch these videos while in transit or otherwise in wait-mode away from a connected computer. The are visually and aurally clear and crisp on the iphone.
The TEDTalks themselves are brilliant having convenient access to them from the iPhone is a joy
robreed 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I love the idea of TEDTalks - inviting people from a broad collection of fields to talk about what they do, and then working to make those talks available to the widest possible audience. I'm a huge fan of the TED app and other efforts to grow the reach and accessibility of TED. The app itself has room to grow, but it's off to a good enough start and the content itself makes up for a somewhat clumsy first implementation. Please keep up the good work.
great on wifi. frustrating everywhere else
rdajao 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
the concept and content behind this app are great. but the slow startup time, inability of videos to remember position after receiving a phone call, and the spotty performance I've been experiencing on 3g give this app a lower rating than it should have. bottom line: it's low on T,E, and ,D. please update soon!! I want to love this app
Love the content, but the app needs some work.
BlackCat9 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
I've loved many of the TED talks I've watched on their website, and their podcast is great for delivering new talks right to you. But being able to browse through them and tag favorites on my phone is like the best of both worlds. No matter what you're into, there's something you'll find amazing from this group of world-changing geniuses.
Just didn't work
David Dunham 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I've downloaded TED talks and watched them on my Mac. The content is fascinating. I was really looking forward to watching more of them on my bus ride. But the talk kept stalling. It was not at all watchable. I was using EDGE, but what else would I use on a bus? Besides, YouTube videos work fine. Maybe a future version can do a better job caching or downloading, but for now, don't waste your time fighting it. I gave up after it repeatedly stalled before 0:45 (somehow the initial ad always played though...).
The BEST !! The best EVER !!
Lex Yu 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I strongly claim that this app is one of the best apps in iTunes. I've always enjoyed lectures from TED via its website or Podcast which takes a lot of space of my laptop's HDD. Now, I don't neither need to download Podcasts nor to access TED website but all I have to do is just tap this app's icon in my iPod touch and enjoy it. Of course this app requires internet connection but that doesn't matter to me.
Would love to give it a five star but...
gabi319 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
The content is great. I'm a TED first timer, never heard of it before downloading this app but fell in love with it from the first lecture. My major contention is that half the time the video lectures will not completely download the first time around. Is this a TED problem or my wi-fi problem? It would have a solid five if not for that and the occassional crash.(I rebooted before using the program and it works fine for a while then I have to reboot again because it would crash) Aside from that, I love variety of topics discussed and look forward to hearing more!
5 star app
Runrunlin 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Must have For TED lovers, the user interface need future enhancement, like sorting, speaker bios, listener reviews, tagging. But as a free app, it does most what you need.
If it only worked...
Professor Caveman 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I ama big fan of TED! I am excited for this app, great idea, except it keeps constantly crashing. I need this to work properly!!! I'm still giving it ****
Best way to visit TED
Chief Wili 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
If you are not a TED fan you haven't visited the site. If you are, this is the best way to enjoy the videos. It's reason enough to buy an iphone.
So happy.
johnthevulcan 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
As soon as 2.2 let you dl podcasts on the fly I went beserk over the ted podcasts though the layout made selestion difficult. This app erased said difficulty. Ty developer people.
Hello?
bherd77 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I love you, but fix?
Urgent!!
saor 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Hi! I read the two last reviews!! And yes the same happens to me. I can't open any audio, video.. So its urgent an update!!!
Love TED and love this app!
AtlGiff 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Have some patience you two! It is currently not working for me either, but has been my favorite app since I down loaded it two days ago. I'm sure they'll fix the problem soon and all will be well! If you don't wan to wait just go to the iTunes store and watch the TED podcast. No reason to get all excited and give the app a 1 star man!
Am I missing something? It doesn't work
jedck 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I'm a huge fan of the TED Talks, so I was really excited to get this app on my ipod touch. Imagine my disapointment when I downloaded it, waited several minutes for it to load, and then found that it doesn't work. The Home screen has a top area with the title banner "Ideas Worth Spreading" and an empty white space underneath, and then halfway down the screen there's another title bar that says "Latest Items" with the remainder of the screen blank white. Videos, Audio, and Favorites are all blank as well. I've tried restarting my ipod, reinstalling the app, and nothing worked. I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem while browsing on the internet. I'd love to be able to have this app working, but the videos quite simply aren't there.
No content. Search not working.
jbc95a 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Clearly the code is linking to something that is broken, because when I launch this app, there is zero content. The app works fine, I can navigate to the four sections, but there is literally not one video or audio file to be found anywhere. Searching yields zero results. No way to contact the app developer either. I'll be heading to VenueM's website next.
Excellent
qu1ckbr0wnf0x 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Just thought I'd point out for the guy who wanted to store the videos locally that TED talks are available as free podcasts on iTunes.
Wonderful App!
Waffles279 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I adore the TED videos. It's a great app that does the job.
Man
Hamburgu 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app is SWEET! It is somewhat prone to crashing but primarily because the video files are large. Solve using one of those memory freeing programs or powering off your ipod. I wish it would let you store the videos locally. I think the videos are under a creative commons license
Great app, perfect content
Ivo Sluganovic 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
The app could have been made better, but I am not using it because it is easy to use or very customizable, but because of it's fabulous videos! I love it :)
Needs improvements, but already good enough
Vcdgutrdse 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
5 star, must have
Needs TV-out support
Moocow1452 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
The app itself is ok, but the TV out on the talks has been nerfed. Fix that.
Needs categorization!
Tobaisfunke 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
The giant list of movies is not navigable. Categories along the lines of what is on the TED site would be helpful.
Wonderful
Mr. Plumtree 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Works very well and content is superb.
great group-deserves a 5 star app.
iNonymous iWhore 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
it seems all this app does is play the audio and video presentations that you can already download for free from iTunes. Which is fine, but the the streaming video broadcasts have terrible lag, even w/ a wifi connection. I wish it were better or offered something unique, but it is still a great group. 3 stars and I hope it gets better.
Urgent!!
saor 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
This isn't still working!!! Please fix it!!! Thanks
TED goes portable!
iknoritesrsly 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I am excited to have access to TED talks on my iPhone! I will abuse this application to no end. I hope there are plans for continued development and added functionality in the future!
Great! A recommendation for developers
mindy, (the wedding photographer) 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Love it. Love it. Love it! But I'd love it more if the share option wasn't just an email with a link. Would love one click access to sharing via facebook or twitter. I just don't "share" much through email anymore. Thanks ted!
Great Layout, Good Video Quality, but some suggestions.
RyanM317 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Agreed with a few other reviewers that some search functionality needs to be added like the themes (visualization & list from Ted.com website), speaker bios and even the ability to tie your own profile into the App rather than linking to the website.
If only it worked
Josh Bassett 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Add me to the list of people who praise TED for the content, but curse this app for nonfunctionality. I've never opened it without a crash. 2 stars for getting my hopes up and then letting me down; I'll stick with watching on a regular computer and chuck this stinker app from my phone.
TED and this app are great!
CajungirlTX 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I've been a huge TED fan for so long. This app allows me to take my TED addiction everywhere I go!
Great

kraxzor 5.0 stars Version: 1.0

amazing app
kiril555 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
just being able to watch TED anywhere is great enough. This is an amazing app. I watch TED during all my classes. What woulod be really great to see, though, is the ability to download TED videos to the iPhone, since the videos are freely available at TED.com. It would be great to have TED videos available offline, especially for slow connections.
Wonderful website, wonderful app.
notyourbroom 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I'm so happy that TEDtalks are now easily accessible through this little shell application. (I didn't want to subscribe to the podcast because my bandwidth is limited, and so I wanted to screen ahead of time to pick the subjects I was really interested in.) I tried this app out for awhile and had no problems. Thanks for making this!
Not working
VisiblySilent 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Will not play any videos whatsoever on 3.0 OS. App just quits and Ipod goes on HOME screen :(
Crash City, Baby!
Fan of TED 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
OS 3.0 on an iPhone 3G does not like this TED App: an immediate crash occurs upon pressing "Play".
Good but slow
CxxC 4.0 stars Version: 1.2
I've had this app from day one, and I'd highly recommend it to any fan of the TED.com website. However, I've noticed that, with the past two updates, sometimes the audio of a video will begin playing again after you exit a video and return to the app's home screen. While it's still possible to navigate the app's menus, there's no way to stop the audio unless you start a new video or close the app. Overall, though, this remains one of my favorite apps.
