Oft nachgefragt: ein Beitrags-Update über meine ‘Homescreens‘. Seit März 2011, als die letzte Aktualisierung dieser Artikel-Serie erfolgte, hat sich die eine oder andere App verschoben, geändert und aussortiert. Der derzeit aktuellen Stand ist an dieser Stelle festgehalten. Vielleicht finden an diesem Montag ja speziell frische 4S-Käufer, die einen ersten Grundbedarf an Software benötigen, die eine oder andere Anregung. Ich persönlich ziehe jede individuelle Empfehlungen allen generischen ‘Hitlisten’ vor. Genau deshalb soll mein privater Einblick auch nicht alleine bleiben: Wer Screenshots oder Tipps von seinen verwendeten Apps in den Kommentaren kundtun möchte, ist dazu herzlich eingeladen. Zwei Anmerkungen noch: Die zwei benutzten Hintergrundbilder gibt es hier und hier. Auf meinem Standby-Screen befinden sich dieses und dieses Bild. Außerdem führe ich zwei Ordner mit ‘Review’-Software, die ich mir für dieses Blog noch genauer anschauen möchte. Da diese Programme (noch) keine Empfehlungen sind, verbleiben sie für diesen Artikel ohne Erwähnung. Außerdem verstecken sich in Read More

Tumblr is, of course, the blogging platform that's taken off lately, featuring an easy way to quickly post a lot of different kinds of media, as well as share it across friends and networks. Tumblr's iPhone app has been serviceable since it came out, but it hasn't always been the best option for posting to the service. Still, a 2.0 complete rewrite has helped a little bit, so if you're a Tumblr user who wants to post more while mobile, it's worth another look. The new update brings a brand new interface to handling multiple blogs, as well as improvements to posting and the main dashboard. You can now read and reply to messages on the service from right in the app, and if you're new to Tumblr, you can sign up right from the iPhone app, too. The service is free, and so the app is too. Power users will Read More

Thursday is Social Media Day, so in honor of that, I’d like to offer a few tips about making your iPhone a more social device. It’d be easy to just say “register as a developer and install iOS 5,” since that brings Twitter integration, but here are some options that don’t cost $99 and involve using pre-release software on your primary device. This is actually a tip for your Mac, but it makes it much easier to share photos to Facebook and Flickr if you set up Events in iPhoto ’11 that you can dump content to in bulk. Using uploading apps on the iPhone itself usually works best if you’re only doing one photo at a time, and if you’re on vacation, that can get annoying very fast. Connecting your social accounts in iPhoto will make it much easier to create organized albums on Facebook and Flicker with only a Read More

Vollkommen unverständlich, wie Microblogging-Plattform Tumblr seine iPhone-App zwischen August 2010 und Juni 2011 nicht ein einziges Mal aktualisieren konnte. Der Dienst ist immerhin prädestiniert fürs (Foto-)Bloggen von unterwegs. Der im Jahr 2009 aufgekaufte Programmcode war mittlerweile so eingestaubt, dass die aktuelle Version 2.0 (kostenlos; App Store-Link) fast schon zwangs-lobenswert erscheint. Nein, alles in allem passt das Redesign und erfüllt seinen (praktischen) Zweck. Trotzdem erschließt sich mir nicht, wie man so sträflich seine Smartphone-Nutzer aus den Augen lassen konnte. Instagram und Co. konnten die letzten elf Monate effektiver nutzen. iPad-Schreiber bleiben im Übrigen weiterhin vom Blog-Netzwerk missachtet… Update: Immerhin wurde die Web-View vom Tumblr-Dashboard auf dem iPad verbessert.

by Tumblr is out with version 2.0 of its iPhone app, and it has completely overhauled the interface, making it much easier to post from multiple blogs. Tumblr announced the update via its blog, stating that the app “has been recoded, rewired, and rethought from the ground up to offer you the very best of the Tumblr experience.” Changes include a new UI for checking out blogs you follow, creating posts and managing multiple blogs. Check out the new look below. It appears very similar to Instagram in terms of the navigation bar, and it is pretty intuitive to use. Previously, you had two navigation options — Post and Dashboard — and had to drill down for more usability. Now everything is at your fingertips. Tumblr also added the ability to read and reply to messages and find new users via your phone’s address book. In addition, version 2.0 allows new Read More

By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Jun 29, 2011 | Tumblr, the popular blogging platform, has updated its iPhone app with a new look and new features.

Yesterday, we reported on a rumor that Apple's website creation software, iWeb, is about a year away from obsolescence, along with MobileMe's hosting of iWeb sites. An iWeb user allegedly sent Apple CEO Steve Jobs an email asking if he should start looking for another website builder and a new host, and Jobs provided one of his patented terse replies: "Yep." In my post about this, I mentioned some alternatives that TUAW readers might want to look at. Here I'm going to take a more detailed look at several easy website creation tools and hosting alternatives, so that you can start making your plans to move away from iWeb and MobileMe. I will not be covering professional web design tools in this post, as iWeb is designed for easy creation of sites. Instead, all of the suggestions I'll make here are aimed at the folks who just want to create a Read More

Keine spannende Überschrift, kein spannender Blog-Beitrag? Let’s see. Mit Version 2.7 erhält ‘WordPress for iOS‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) das 14 Update seit Herbst 2009. Damals erschien Version 2.0 für die populäre Blogging-Plattform als komplett neues App-Store-Programm. Der seit Sommer 2008 vorangegangene Testlauf darf rückblickend als verspieltes Experiment gewertet werden. 117 Fehler merzte das Automattic-Team gegenüber Version 2.6.6 aus. Die Anwendung liegt seit vergangenem April in einer Universal-Ausführung für iPhone und iPad vor. Durch die Überschneidung der App-Store-Einreichung von Version 2.7 und der iPad-2-Veröffentlichung lassen sich auf Apples neuem Tablet keine Fotos aus der iOS-Bibliothek auswählen. Ansonsten bin ich jedoch ziemlich beeindruckt von der langsamen aber kontinuierlichen Weiterentwicklung, die das Team der mobilen Plattform widmet. Neue Funktionen wie Push-Benachrichtigungen für Kommentare befinden sich bereits auf der angedachten ‘Roadmap’. Derzeit zieht die Mannschaft jedoch immer noch Falten aus dem Programmcode und befeuert die Software nicht unnötig mit zusätzlichen Funktionen. Clever, weil der enorme Read More

Microblogging service Tumblr is expanding on its BlackBerry and iPhone apps, having quietly released one in the Android Market today. Tumblr lets you quickly post audio, video, pictures, text, links and more right from your phone to your blog. Tumblr’s built for short bite-sized posts that are easily shareable and likeable for those in the network. Given the pithy nature Tumblr sites, mobile seems like a natural fit, although there is competition in that area. Posterous is another popular microblogging service that lets you post by e-mail, but they don’t have a mobile app… yet. WordPress is also available on Android for those who make more full-bodied blogs. Download links are below, but you’ll have to download OTA from the browser if you want the BlackBerry version.

This was an intriguing experiment undertaken over at Minimal Mac: Patrick decided to play a little Homescreen Survivor with his iPhone app icons -- he cleared everything off his homescreen, and then only let those apps back on which he used more than once throughout the course of a week. The result? You can see here which ones made it back on. Contacts, Calendar, Camera all showed up, not surprisingly. Photos did as well -- I don't use that one much, but I can see why. Everything else seems to be his own personal use: Tumblr's app, two different Twitter apps (Birdhouse and Tweetie), and then Simplenote and so on. But the real point here isn't what apps he used, it's just how different his homescreen looked when he only put what he used on there. I'll admit it: my iPhone is a mess -- I've got icons all over the 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.

Hoy en día, como alternativa a los blogs convencionales, es cada vez más habitual tener un Tumblr, que para quien no lo conozca es una plataforma de blogging (o microblogging, según se mire), que nos permite tener un blog con dirección del tipo http://esfera.tumblr.com, en el que podremos postear imágenes, textos, audio, vídeos y links, seguir (y que nos siga) a otra gente (al estilo Twitter), cambiar el aspecto del blog, etc. Todo ello de forma muy sencilla y sin grandes complicaciones. Desde el iPhone/iPod Touch, tenemos varias alternativas para poder postear o ver lo que postean nuestros seguidos.  Personalmente, lo que suelo usar es una para postear y otra para poder ver y reblogear los que postean mis contactos. Aquí os dejo las dos aplicaciones que yo uso. Tumblr La aplicación oficial de Tumblr nos permite acceder a una versión optimizada de la web, con la cual podemos crear nuevos Read More

Once the service for those serious enough to pay for the privilege to post, TypePad recently released a free "Micro" service. The company made the decision to offer a free product realizing the demand for a platform more formal than Twitter and less formal than Wordpress or Typepad's original product. ReadWriteWeb compared TypePad's Micro against 2 other leading light blogging tools. Below are our thoughts: TypePad Micro: In addition to being able to blog via email, iPhone app, "Blog It" bookmarklet and the general WYSIWYG dashboard, this tool also allows users to cross post to Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook. My only complaint with TypePad is that there are only 2 design themes to choose from. For someone like me with very little design sense, it's a long process to find something right. As well, if you'd like to add another blog or add new design themes you are required to pay Read More

Unzählige Twitter-Programme schwemmen in den App Store. Nur ein paar gute, der unzähligen Software-Kompositionen halten sich dort. Birdfeed (2.39 €; App Store-Link) ist ein solcher Erfolgskandidat, der aktuell auf Version 1.2 springt und damit Geo-Positionierung und Flickr-Unterstützung seinen Benutzern liefert. Das Birdfeed-Weblog zur Anwendungspräsentation befindet sich auf den Tumblr-Servern. Dieser kostenfreie Weblogdienstleister ist jedoch nicht nur aufgrund seiner intuitiven Benutzerführung zu empfehlen, sondern punktet im Speziellen mit seiner grandiosen iPhone-Anwendung (kostenlos; App Store-Link ). Mit dem Update aus der letzten Nacht lassen sich damit nun auch 3GS-Videos auf das eigene Tumblr-Blog verschieben. Die Anwendung filtert aus der Photo-Bibliothek das bewegte Bildmaterial heraus oder lässt euch direkt neue Clips aufnehmen. Beim Veröffentlichen vom iPhone aus darf man hier ebenfalls die Geo-Koordinaten mitschicken. Noch konnte ich diese in den Beiträgen nicht aufspüren. Es darf jedoch damit gerechnet werden, dass uns in einigen Wochen ein paar hübsch-gezeichnete Weltkartenbilder um die Ohren gehauen werden. Er, Read More

Tumblr’s iPhone app, also called Tumblr, was updated to version 1.1 today. Now while a .1 update would generally signify bug fixes or a minor update, in this instance Tumblr 1.1 actually includes several major new features. If you have a Tumblr site and an iPhone, you can’t go wrong with this free, but very well done app. For those who aren’t familiar with Tumblr, it is the major player in the “mini-blog” or “tumblelog” market right now, competing with Posterous. Mini-blogging is a step between “micro-blogging” (ie. Twitter, FriendFeed) and traditional blogging (ie WordPress, Blogspot, this site, etc.). Mini-blogging is typically short, frequent, mixed-media posts with little or no narrative. The idea is to quickly share some form of media in a way that’s more than a Twitter post but not quite a full blog post. This update does indeed include various bug fixes, but it also brings the iPhone Read More

Tumblr is a quick and flexible blogging platform, which makes it well-suited to the iPhone. The Tumblr iPhone app has been in need of an update for some time now, though, so avid tumbloggers will be happy to hear that version 1.1 of the app has been submitted to the App Store and should be available soon. One of the developers of Tumblr for iPhone has posted a sneak preview of the new features in 1.1 on (what else?) his tumblr. Although the flashiest new feature is video uploading, this update also addresses a lot of the gripes I have with the current version of the Tumblr app. There's finally a built-in web browser, so you don't have to go to Safari and lose your place in the dashboard every time you click a link. There's also a bookmarklet for easier tumbling, although the developer hasn't revealed how it works. Even Read More

Blog-Plattform Tumblr zeigt sich in seinen Bemühungen auf dem iPhone vorbildlich. Es macht immer noch ungeheuren Spaß, mit der kostenlosen Anwendung (App Store-Link) Photos, Audio-Schnipsel oder Web-Verweise vom iPhone aus zu veröffentlichen. Alleine wegen der Tumblr-Anwendung sollte man anfangen zu bloggen! Das bislang suboptimale iPhone-Dashboard ist nun auch einer Überarbeitung unterzogen worden und weitaus übersichtlicher. (Danke, Friedemann!) Musikerkennungs-Sofware Shazam (kostenlos; App Store-Link) macht einen Versions-Sprung und bietet ab sofort eine ‘musikalische Rundreise’ an. Dabei saugt das Programm wie gewohnt Musik aus seiner Umgebung auf, und spuckt euch nach der Analyse die passenden Meta-Daten zum Künstler und dessen Album aus. Neu ist, dass ihr den Eintrag auf einer Standort-Karte vermerken könnt. Bei einer Kneipentour durch die Stadt, entsteht so am nächsten Morgen ein Kartenbild eures (musikalischen) Exzess. Instapaper von Marco Arment erreicht (endlich) Version 2.0 und bietet in seiner kostengünstigen Pro-Version (3.99 €; App Store-Link) eine Ordnerstruktur, RSS-Abos und Offline-Funktionalität. Neben ‘Read Read More
