The Guardian newspaper has outlined its plans for the next generation iPhone app, announcing their current £2.99 official application will be phased out in favor of a subscription-based app, sometime before the end of the year. There will now be two price points: a £2.99 six-month subscription or a £3.99 12-month subscription.  As well as offering the newspaper’s written content, the new app will provide video, live blogs, live football scores, goal alerts and the chance to view reader comments.  Posting comments doesn’t sound like it’ll be activated in the first release, but is expected to appear in a future update. The subscription app will be joined by an international version which will be ad-supported, and therefore free.  The exact release date hasn’t been given, but they’re ‘working towards a pre-Christmas release’, and an iPad edition is also in the works. This news ties in with the rumors that the next Read More

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up Read More

News houses have been hit hard by a failing economy and by the times. Many customers no longer buy newspapers; instead, they selectively read news sites, feeds, and social network reports. But at the same time, dwindling reliance upon dead trees means less overhead cost. Still, as news corporations face the times, and like the music industry, learn to step to a different tune, consumers will be hitby a wave of new revenue-making schemes. If not portal adverts, online subscriptions and cost per link options are bound rise to popularity. The iDevice, may be another option. Fox News and The Guardian have run with the iDevice, creating pay-once apps that allow precipitate referencing. Below are a few large publications whose N has gone capital: Top Pick, FOX News Pro – $1.99 Guardian News and Media Limited, The Guardian – $3.99 CNN Interactive Group, Inc., CNN Mobile – $1.99 RIV Creations, BBC Mobile News Reader – Read More

Alle paar Monate erinnere ich mich daran, an dieser Stelle meine persönlichen, derzeit aktuellen iPhone-Homescreens abzubilden. Das letzte Mal war dies im September ’09 der Fall. Mir gefällt sowohl der retrospektive Blick auf den eigenen Bildschirm (Gott, was hattest du damals bloß installiert!), als auch der Austausch und die Empfehlungen, welche über eure Kommentare hereingespült werden. ‘Bestenlisten’ oder ‘Highlight-Zusammenstellungen’, wie sie dieser Tage in Form von ‘die zehn besten Anwendungen für Katzenliebhaber 2009′ durchexerziert werden, liefern (mir) keinen echten Mehrwert. Daher freue ich mich zum Jahresstart auf eure Bildschirmphotos mit Programm-Empfehlungen! Hier meine Homescreen-Veränderungen, mit denen ich in das neue Jahr gestartet bin: ‘Unterhaltungssoftware’ und ‘Spiele’ verschiebe ich mittlerweile auf Seite 3 und höher. Dabei beschäftige ich mich derzeit mit folgenden Titeln, die eventuell noch eine nähere Vorstellung erfahren: Plushed (1.59 €; App Store-Link), JetCarStunts (1.59 €; App Store-Link), N.O.V.A. (5.49 €; App Store-Link), The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition Read More

Bolstered by arrival of the 3GS, launch of in-app purchasing and push notifications, the iPhone apps of 2009 have become richer and more robust experiences. Across 11 categories, we’ve selected the best apps of the year. In every category, each winner is an essential addition to your iPhone. This is the ultimate roundup of essential apps for your iPhone from 2009. The sequel to 2008′s Rolando expands on the tilt ‘n’ swipe platforming action of the original. This time round, we’re brought an entire troupe of colorful Rolando characters to protect, alongside a tropical island inhabited by new baddies and a lost Rolando tribe. The artwork is gorgeous, the gameplay is excellent and, thanks to NGMoco’s Plus+ awards system, it’s got bags of replay value too. Having formed his own development studio after working at the Cupertino campus, Loren Brichter has established himself as one of the premier App Store developers. Read More

Fellow Londoners, it's been a good week for us! First, The Guardian unveiled their iPhone app [£2.39, iTunes link], now Time Out London has finally released their free iPhone app – and it is amazing. This app is worth it for the map feature alone. How it works is a Google Map is displayed with a selection of five buttons: Cinemas; Gigs; Restaurants; Bars, Pubs, and Clubs; and All Arts and Entertainment. Select one button or a combination of the five and watch pins drop on the map that highlight not just the venue, but the event occurring at the venue. A pin will not drop unless there is something going on at the venue. So the next time you're walking through London, you don't have to look up what's going on where on one site then open your Maps at to see where it is; just open the Time Out Read More

Gegenüber dem ‘Manager Magazin’ wettert der Vorstandsvorsitzender des deutschen Medienunternehmens Axel Springer AG, Mathias Döpfner, munter weiter gegen seine Leser. Stichworte wie ‘Kostenloskultur’ und ‘Schmarotzertum’ mischen sich mit Beleidigungen wie ‘verirrten Web-Kommunisten’ oder Open-Access-Evangelisten’. In seiner abstrusen üblen Nachrede gegenüber dem Netz, seinen (zahlenden) Konsumenten, Google und überhaupt dem ganzen Journalismus, ist es ihm nicht zu dumm auch sich selbst als inkompetent nach Außen zu geben: Es kann nicht sein, dass die dummen Old-Economy-Guys für viel Geld wertvolle Inhalte erstellen und die smarten New-Technology-Guys sie einfach stehlen und bei ihren Werbekunden vermarkten. In seiner Position, als Kapitän eines der größten Verlagshäuser, sinkt meine Hoffnung auf einen Kurswechsel. Ein Untergang wäre zweifelsfrei sehr bedauernswert. Sowohl für die Presse(-landschaft), wie auch seine Funktion als Kontrollorgan. Aber vielleicht muss auch erst einmal ein großer Medientanker sinken, damit die Flotte auf die Windrichtung schaut. Anzuschauen gilt es ebenfalls die 300 Negativbewertungen, welche die Axel Springer-Anwendung Read More

‘Bing goes the Internet’, der YouTube-Sommerhit 2009 zu den Microsoft-Bestrebungen einer Google-Suchmaschinenkonkurrenz, zelebriert am heutigen Morgen seine App Store-Geburt (kostenlos; App Store-Link). Nach der Photoanwendung ‘Seadragon Mobile’ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) beweist die IT-Klitsche aus Redmond einmal mehr ihre Design-Kompetenz. Entgegen dem x-ten Versionssprung der ‘Google Mobile App’ (kostenlos; App Store-Link), verzuckert ‘Bing’ die iPhone-Bildschirme mit so etwas wie ‘Layout’. Bunte Bilder und eine intuitive Schaltfläche beglücken den Benutzer. Beim Aufruf der Spacheingabe stürzt die Anwendung auf iPhones mit Jailbreak ohne weiteren ‘Kommentar’ ab. Ohne diese inoffizielle Modifizierung korrigiert das Programm teilweise intelligent die morgentliche Unschärfe des englischen Akzentes. Als Jailbreak-Randnotiz sei kurz vermerkt, dass ich dieser Tage vermehrt auf Anwendungen treffe, die nicht mit der ‘Systemöffnung’ zusammenarbeiten wollen. Es fing mit ‘Super Monkey Ball II‘ an, nahm über die britische News-App von ‘The Guardian’ ($3.99; US-Link) ihren Lauf und zeigt jetzt mit ‘Bing’ abermals Probleme. Zeit, wieder eine ordnungsgerechte Firmware aufzuspielen. Read More
