Apple introduces a new iPod Touch: 4 inch Retina Display, no rear camera for $229

Posted: 30 May 2013 02:45 AM PDT

Apple has quietly introduced a new member of the iPod Touch family, which seems to be replacing the 4th generation models that remained on sale following the launch of the 5th generation Touch. This new one comes with the same 4-inch Retina Display as the 5th generation iPod Touch, but removes the rear camera, and is available to purchase now online for $229.

Besides the lack of a rear camera, this new Touch is pretty much on par with the already available 5th generation. We still get a FaceTime HD camera on the front, an A5 chip inside, and that same slim design -- albeit not available in the same wild colors. The new Touch comes with a silver back, no more chrome, of a similar finish it appears to the back of the white iPad Mini.

Only available in a 16GB configuration, at $229 this latest model is $70 less than the rest of the 5th generation iPod Touch range. That's a good chunk of change. It's available to order online now, with an in-store pickup date of May 31 available in the U.S. Are you going to be picking one of these up? Is the lack of a rear camera something that would deter you? Let us know!

Microsoft once again fails to understand that, when it comes to tablets, Windows isn't a feature - It's a liability

Posted: 29 May 2013 09:31 PM PDT

Microsoft has been fielding some new anti-iPad commercials that, on the surface (see what I did there?) seem to take a page out of Apple's old "I'm a Mac" ads of days long gone by, or even Motorola's "Droid Does" campaign of a few years back. They show an iPad side by side against a Windows 8 tablet, and then demonstrate several areas in which they, Microsoft, think the Windows 8 tablet beats to iPad.

The ad shows Live Tiles, and contrasts them with the iPad's static Home screen. It shows multi-window computing, and contrasts it with the iPad's full-screen app experience. It shows Power Point, and contrasts it with Keynote on the iPad. They should the price of the cheapest Windows 8 tablet and contrast it with Apple's mid-capacity, full-sized iPad.

A second spot shows similar comparisons, but adds built-in support for SD cards vs. requiring an adapter, and printing only to AirPrint-capable printers compared to printing to standard Windows-compatible printers.

It's not a new tactic by any stretch of the imagination. "I'm a Mac" and "Droid Does" aside, iPad competitors have touted advantages like Flash video support, multi-windowing, and more for years. They've touted the advantages of a more desktop-like experience, and Windows is, perhaps, the most desktop of desktops.

And it's precisely what mainstream customers have resoundingly said is the absolute last thing they want on a tablet.

BlackBerry tried it with the Playbook. Various Android manufacturers have tried it with their Galaxy, Xoom, and other tablets. Hell, Microsoft made Tablet PC for years, based on full-on Windows XP or other releases.

Nobody besides us geeks cared, not in any number, and not any more then than they do today.

For years mainstream customers have felt alienated by desktop operating systems. They've struggled with their archaic file systems and confusing windows management, their intermediated control schemes and their sheer complexity. And those frustrations are the last thing those mainstream customers want on mobile.

They want to pick up a device that they can understand. That doesn't make them feel stupid but rather feel empowered. They want their apps, they want their media, and they want it without all the inhuman bullshit computer companies have been forcing on them for decades.

They want iPads.

Steve Jobs understood that. Even after helping launch the Apple II and bringing about the Mac, Jobs understood the need for ever simpler, ever more mainstream computing.

Bill Gates once said what he envied most about Apple was Steve Jobs' taste. But Jobs didn't have taste in the fashionable sense of the word. He had product sense. He had the ability to look forward, past his own current product portfolio, beyond his corporate investments to date, beyond any brands he might hold dear, and see what his customers needed. He had sensibility.

With these latest commercials, Microsoft shows they're no closer to learning that lesson today than they were back with Bill Gates and the Tablet PC. They're still mired in Windows and in Office. They're so afraid of letting go of past success that they'll take future failure instead. They'll refuse to compromise on anything other than obliterating the user experience.

The features shown in Microsoft's ad are compelling to existing Windows users who want to replace their PC and might be interested in or at least open to a tablet form factor.

To mainstream customers, tiles that change pictures seemingly on their own is disorienting, multiple apps at once is stressful, Power Point is something best left locked in beige cubicles (even though Microsoft could make it, and all of Office, available for iPad any time they so choose), and the price paid up-front isn't always as important as the value obtained throughout the life of a product.

For many people the escape of the Home button, consistency of the Home screen, and simplicity of full screen apps, make the iPad the best personal computer they've ever owned.

Instead of competing with that, trying to out do Apple at that, Microsoft, like almost everyone else before them, has fallen into the feature set trap.

It doesn't matter what something can do, it only matters what you can do with that something.

These ads will help Microsoft convince some people to buy a Windows 8 tablet rather than an Android tablet or another kind of Windows PC. It won't convince the hundreds of millions of iPad customers and iPad-inclined customers to do anything other than to continue buying iPads.

In 2010 Apple showed everyone in the world how to sell hundreds of millions of tablets. 3 years later, almost no one else has paid even the slightest attention.

Unless and until Microsoft lets go of desktop, lets go of Windows, and hey, maybe even lets the Xbox team make an Xpad One, there's no sign that'll change any time soon.

And that's unfortunate for all of us, especially potential tablet buyers.

How to move documents from your Mac to iCloud

Posted: 29 May 2013 02:48 PM PDT

How to move documents on your Mac HD to iCloud

If you own a Mac running OS X Mountain Lion and use an iPhone or iPad running iOS 6, iCloud is a great way to access certain kinds of files and documents across all your devices. For many users, they'll just start off creating documents in iCloud whether they're on their Mac or iOS device. But what about all those documents that are already on your Mac that you'd like access to on your iPhone and iPad?

As it turns out, you can kick them over to iCloud pretty easily. Here's how:

Keep in mind, as with anything, only apps and document management software that support iCloud integration will work with this. For this example, we'll be moving a document from Pages that's stored on the hard drive, to iCloud. Pages supports iCloud on both Mac and iOS.

  1. Open the document that's currently saved to the hard drive of your Mac that you'd like to move to iCloud. In our example, we'll move a regular Pages file.
  2. In Apple's default apps, click on the On My Mac tab in the upper left hand corner to navigate to the document if you haven't already found it and launched it manually.
  3. Once you have the document or file open, hover over the title of the document at the top until you see a little drop down symbol appear next to it. Click on the drop down arrow to the right of the title.
  4. Now choose the Move to iCloud option.
  5. You'll be ask to confirm that you'd like to move the document to iCloud. Just confirm.

That's all there is to it. The document you've moved will now be available cross-platform in their respective apps. While this isn't a perfect solution, it works for now. One of our iOS 7 wants is a much needed file management system across all devices, iOS and Mac. Until then, this should help ease some of the pain when it comes to dealing with older documents.

    


Gmail for iOS and desktop getting overhauled, aims to put you back in control

Posted: 29 May 2013 01:20 PM PDT

Google's Gmail is the next service from Mountain View to go through an overhaul, and today they're showing off what is rolling out across the desktop and to iOS. The aim; to give back control of your inbox to you.

In the desktop environment, all your mail will be organized into categories, all you need to do is dictate what they're going to be. At the top of your inbox, these categories will appear as tabs, with even the opportunity to drag and drop messages between them. On iOS you'll see your main, primary inbox when you fire up Gmail, but all the same categories will be accessible via the slide out menu.

For heavy Gmail users this is great news. We've had apps on iOS such as Mailbox that have come about to help you wrestle back control of your Gmail inbox, but the effort ultimately needed to come from Google. The iOS Gmail app is pretty good, but the desktop experience as it currently stands can be a chaotic environment, so any help is good help. The new inbox will roll out to everyone 'gradually', with an update to the iOS app due in the coming weeks. Is this likely to make you revert back to using Google's own apps to manage your Gmail?

Sell! Sell! Sell! The iPhone and iPad apps you need to win at real estate!

Posted: 29 May 2013 12:02 PM PDT

Sell! Sell! Sell! The iPhone and iPad apps you need to win at real estate!

The apps every realtor and broker needs to market better, sell faster, and keep clients happier!

If you're a realtor or a broker, your iPhone and iPad can be invaluable tools that can not only help keep you organized, but help you do your job better. Everything from apps that help you market yourself to productivity apps that make client management and communication easier than ever are available in the App Store.

Here are the ones we think are the best choices for active real estate agents and brokers.

Dropbox

Dropbox is a useful tool for pretty much every profession and real estate is absolutely no exception. More people use it than you think which means getting files and documents to clients just became simpler. Whether you choose to utilize Dropbox just for storing files for access from any device or want to create shared folders with clients, it's a must have.

Not only do you have immediate access to your files from anywhere on your iPhone and iPad, Dropbox has Mac and Windows clients to keep your desktop and laptop computers in sync. And for the times you're away from home or don't have access to your iPhone or iPad, logging into the Dropbox website gives you access to your files wherever else you may need them from.

Dropbox gives you 2GB of space for free or you can purchase more on a monthly or yearly basis for a pretty small fee.

Scanner Pro

One thing realtors and brokers do quite often is scan documents with signatures. This is where an app like Scanner Pro is dead useful. Simply take photos of the pages on your phone in order to create a document. It's great for when you aren't near a scanner or computer and need to get something to a client right away.

Not only does it make work that used to only be possible inside the office manageable from the outside, your clients will be impressed when they receive documents you promised in only a matter of minutes. Scanner Pro is a great place to keep copies of common documents such as purchase agreements, inspection reports, and more. From here, they're ready to be sent off the minute you need them. Clients also tend to like an option outside of having a home scanner. They may not have those laying around anymore but the odds of them having an iPhone is much higher.

eKey

Every realtor is familiar with lockboxes and uses them on a regular basis to unlock and show houses or to put one on their own listings. Regardless where you are, you can't avoid lockboxes and the issues they can bring with them at times. Updating keys before you leave the office or your home can be irritating. What if you didn't have to remember those steps anymore?

Supra actually offers an eKey that comes as an attachment that plugs into your charge port equipped with an IR sensor. Simply download the free eKey app to your iPhone and log in with your agent ID. You'll need to purchase the equipment and attachments from Supra before using the eKey app. Most realtor associations have them for you to walk in and buy as well. Once you're all set up, just log in with your agent ID and you're ready to go. Anywhere you have service, you'll have the ability to unlock homes to show your clients at a moment's notice.

For more information on Supra and the attachments available, you can visit the Supra eKey website.

Fantastical

While the default Calendar app for iPhone and iPad does what it needs to, entering appointments and showings can still be a daunting task. The thing about Fantastical is that is supports natural language input. Realtors spend a lot of time on the phone and need to enter appointments, showings, and closings into their calendars quickly. Fantastical can do just that. Instead of having to fill out all the nitty gritty details line by line, just tell Fantastical by voice or by typing what you want. For example, just say "Showing with Bob at noon tomorrow." and Fantastical will do the rest for you.

If you have separate calendars set up, you can even take it one step further and tell Fantastical something like "Showing with Bob at noon tomorrow. Calendar Century 21." It'll automatically put events where they should be.

Already use the default Calendar app? No worries. Fantastical shares them same core files so anything you place in the default calendar with appear in Fantastical automatically and vice versa. There's literally no setup required.

Trulia

Trulia is just as good of a resource for realtors as it is for buyers and sellers. When on appointments with clients, logging into an MLS and having to search for other properties they may inquire about can be time consuming. While the MLS contains more information, Trulia gives a nice overview of properties and is map based which makes it easy to pinpoint and target the properties someone is asking about.

While it isn't as detailed as the MLS, it does provide good information in a quicker manner. It's also a good place to advertise in your area. Lots of folks out there are browsing for homes on their iPhones and iPads nowadays and there's no better way to gain clients than your credentials showing up on the homes they're looking at.

Note: We are aware there is a Trulia app specifically for agents but did not receive good feedback on it, and according to agents we spoke with, the general Trulia app is what they use for quick reference and to market themselves.

1Password

Any realtor knows that are are tons of passwords that come with the job. MLS logins, zip form passwords, and so many more. Forgetting a password is a headache and can set you back or worse, cause an inconvenience for your clients when you can't access information they want to know. We all know that it is never a good idea to have the same password for multiple accounts.

This is where 1Password comes in handy. It can remember all your passwords and logins as well as generate strong passwords for you. Every type of account you can think of is supported with the ability to create any custom ones you'd like. You can also use 1Password to generate strong passwords when you can't think of one. 1Password has support for not only iOS but Mac and PC as well.

Trip Cubby

One thing realtors do more than anything is drive. Whether it's to showings, closings, open houses, or any other place you need to go, gas mileage is tax deductible for self employed realtors. That's why it's especially important to keep track of how many miles you're driving and to where. Trip Cubby is a fantastic way to do just that. Along with tracking general mileage, you can also make notes as to what you're traveling for and why you're logging it.

Trip Cubby isn't iPhone 5 compatible yet, it's still the best option we've found for tracking mileage when it comes to features and options.

Special thanks to @HeatherMelnyk of Century 21 Middleton for helping with this roundup!

Analog Camera review: Realmac filters the fun back into iPhone photography

Posted: 29 May 2013 11:43 AM PDT

Analog Camera is a new iPhone photography app by Realmac Software, the makers of Clear, that makes it incredibly fast -- and fun -- to take, process, and share photos. It includes the ability to separate focus and exposure, 8 filters, and an incredible design.

What I love about Analog Camera is how amazingly simple it is. After you take a photo or choose one from your Camera Roll or Photo Stream, previews of the 8 different available filters are displayed in a 3x3 grid (with original in the center), and 5 buttons below: save to Camera Roll, Email, Open In, Facebook, and Twitter.

Tapping a preview thumbnail will pop it open larger (almost full screen) and holding your finger down on one will make it medium sized with the ability to drag around the thumbnails to see them enlarge as you pass them by. A big swipe down will bring you back to your stored photos and camera. Every gesture you do emits a subtle sound that makes the animations even more fun.

When taking a photo with Analog Camera, you can choose between three different shooting modes. A two-finger tap opens separate focus and exposure controls, a single-tap for combined focus and exposure, and a double-tap brings you back to full auto.

The good

  • Three camera modes to set up the perfect shot, including Manual Focus & Exposure
  • 8 filters
  • Black and white filter is really good
  • Beautifully minimalist, no-fuss no-clutter design
  • Horizon line to help you take level photos
  • Share with Twitter, Facebook, Mail or "Open In" another photo app
  • Access photos from your Camera Roll and Photo Stream

The bad

  • Square crop only
  • Wish I could swipe through big previews of the filters. My hand naturally tries to.
  • Can't access photo albums, only Photo Stream and Camera Roll

The bottom line

I am loving the simplicity, elegant design, and speed of Analog Camera. The filters are great, especially black and white, separating exposure and focus in shooting mode is fantastic, and sharing photos is incredibly fast. My biggest complaint is that if you take a photo with Analog Camera, it is automatically cropped as a square. It's bad enough to only be able to apply a filter to a square photo, but to also force photos to be taken as a square is maddening. I will use Analog Camera to apply filters, but I will not be using it to take photos; I'm not willing to delete pixels before they were even created.

iTunes Movie Trailers app updated with video quality selection and Fandango ticket purchasing

iTunes Movie Trailers app updated with video quality selection and Fandango ticket purchasing

Apple's iTunes Movie Trailers app for iPhone and iPad has been updated with the ability to switch between standard and high definition video during playback, while also adding the ability to purchase tickets through the Fandango app.

Users will now see a small icon on the left-hand side of the playback controls, which, when tapped, allows users to change the video quality they see. This allows users with lower-resolution devices to watch trailers more quickly, without having to wait for a larger video to load. Speaking of loading, Apple has made some speed improvements to the app, with trailers now taking less time to start playing.

The In Theaters section of the app now includes the ability to redirect users to the Fandango app in order to purchase movie tickets. While the app has long included movie showtimes for local theaters, this update takes that one step further. In the timeline display, find the correct showtime for you movie and tap the corresponding blue dot to make the "Get Tickets" button popup. Tap the button to be redirected to the Fandango app's ticket purchasing screen for that movie at that time.

The update is currently available on the App Store, so go get it and tell us what you think.

    


Second Gear teases new app... using Passbook!

Second Gear teases new app... using Passbook!

The fine folks over at Second Gear have a couple of exciting announcements this week: A new product, and a new service for developers. What makes these announcements particularly interesting is their use of Passbook.

The minds that brought you the iOS markdown editor, Elements and the @Justin Bieber fanclub on Twitter1, have launched a website promoting the new app that allows people to register their username early and install a Passbook pass, or Pit Pass, on their device for the upcoming app. The Pit Pass is currently a little sparse on information but be sure to check out the barcode. Second Gear's plan is to gradually fill in the pass, allowing users to gradually acquire more bits about the app leading up to its announcement and release.

Alongside the release of the Pit Pass has come an announcement of the PitPass.io. PitPass.io will provide a Passbook backend that will allow developers to leverage Passbook as a promotional tool for their apps and services, the way that Second Gear is using it for their upcoming app now. While it's not yet available, developers can sign up to be notified when the PitPass.io service officially launches.

Many users enjoy Passbook with major businesses like Starbucks, Target and United Airlines, but there's still a large pool of users who don't yet make use of Passbook. Second Gear's implementation of Passbook as a promotional tool is an intriguing new spin on the service that could generate more interest and use among consumers.

The Magazine switches owners from Marco Arment to Glenn Fleishman, gets all-star support team

Posted: 29 May 2013 10:11 AM PDT

The Magazine switches owners from Marco Arment to Glenn Fleishman, gets all-star support team

Marco Arment's The Magazine is now Glenn Fleishman's. That's right, the former executive editor is the new owner, and he's assembled an all-star team to help him continue The Magazine's mission going forward. From the press release:

"Marco gave me an incredible amount of freedom in editing The Magazine, and I'm happy to add the role of publisher as it develops further," Fleishman said. Writer and editor Brittany Shoot has been retained as The Magazine's managing editor.

Aperiodical has already contracted several firms to update and extend the Web site's and app's design and programming. Design and interaction company Pacific Helm worked with Arment to design the app, worked on previous iterations of the Web site, and created each of the issue covers. They will continue in those roles.

Guy English and Chris Parrish of Aged & Distilled will handle iOS app development. They recently released the Napkin app for Mac OS X. Jessica Simmons of Simmons Ardell, formerly of sister design firms Milton Glaser Inc and WBMG, has signed on to design an upcoming print collection drawn from both the first 100 articles appearing in The Magazine and newly commissioned work. Dean Putney, one of the main developers behind top blog BoingBoing, will manage improvements on the Web site.

Fleishman plans to add a regular podcast of interviews with authors and their subjects. The podcast will include sponsorships handled by Lex Friedman, of the podcast-advertising network Podlexing. A revision of the Web site will launch June 1, followed in the near future by an update to the iOS app with user-requested features.

That's a hell of a lot of amazing talent, and the caliber of writers has been just as phenomenal since launch. The Magazine is already great, and I can't wait to see how they make it even better.

Arment also sold a majority interest in Instapaper to Betaworks a few weeks ago, and while no longer with the company, he was also the original developer behind Tumblr, which just sold to Yahoo! Since Arment isn't someone to suffer boredom easily or for long, it'll be interesting to see what he creates next. For now, you can find his blog at Marco.org and his podcast at ATP.fm.

In the meantime, congrats to all involved!

The new deals all come with unlimited calls and texts, plus tethering, and begin at £23 for 500MB of data. That's not a lot of LTE, but thankfully EE is offering several data allowance options:

  • £23 for 500MB

  • £38 for 5GB
  • £43 for 8GB
  • £63 for 20GB

The deals are available now, and can be obtained either online or via the EE high-street stores. Is this just the thing you were looking for to make your iPhone 5 sing?

How To Get Photos from a Floppy Disk to an iPad

Posted: 29 May 2013 09:12 AM PDT

This just in from the Department of Crazy iPad Tips: you can get photos off a floppy disk into the Photos app on the iPad. Yes, a floppy disk – you know, like cavemen used before they invented fire.

Seriously though, I guess if you happen to have some cherished photos of your own, or perhaps some from an older relative, stored on an old-school floppy disk – then this is a heck of a handy thing to know about. And it's very easy to do. All you need is an iPad Camera Connection Kit, a USB floppy drive, a folder on it called DCIM, and file names for the photo files that use DOS style 8 character file names.

Thanks to Niles for letting us know about this video.

1Password for iPad

1Password, the excellent password manager app for iPad and iOS, is on sale at 50% off for a limited time. It's available right now at $8.99 – down from its standard price of $17.99.

Apparently the team at AgileBits, makers of 1Password, have got a bad case of WWDC fever – and part of the cure is a big 50% sale on 1Password for iOS, Mac, and Windows.

Grab Shadow Warrior for free from Steam

Posted: 29 May 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Shadow Warrior Classic FPS resurrected as a free download on Steam

3D Realms' Shadow Warrior, originally released in 1997, is back as a free-to-play game available for download for both OS X and Windows through Steam, according to Samit Sarkar of Polygon.

Based on 3D Realms' Build engine, used to create Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior is a first person shooter in which the game's protagonist, Lo Wang, faces off against vile creatures controlled by the evil Master Zilla, a crazed megalomaniac.

A pastiche of tropes from bad martial arts movies of the 1970s and 80s, Shadow Warrior lampoons the genre much in the same way that Duke Nukem 3D made fun of 1980s Hollywood action hero movies. Shadow Warrior received some heavy criticism at the time for perceived racially insensitive Asian stereotypes. Still, the game is fondly remembered by many first person shooter enthusiasts for pushing the once-popular Build engine in new directions.

Shadow Warrior has been resurrected as free-to-play through Steam as a promotion for a new game based on the property that's currently in development at Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital, planned for PC and console.

Mac players should bear in mind that this isn't the MacSoft port of the game - this is the original DOS version, running in DOSbox emulation.
