New iPhone App Used as Study Tool

October 6, 2008 · Filed Under Reviews · Comment 

Now you can use your iPhone as a study guide to prepare for your exams. A new application Cram, lets you create and import tests on any topic. Priced at $9.99 this solid application allows you to take scored multiple choice quizzes. Other than this you can settle for the study mode in which you will be provided with a series of digital flash cards. Cram will flash the question while you choose with a click as the answer appears.

Even though Cram is reasonably simple to use, there is however a required order to get started and you can do this by registering for Cram online. It is also recommended that beginners creating their own test material in preparation for exams, first craft that online as well. And then when you want to import the test, log into Cram from the iPhone and just select the test you want.

Overall Cram is a useful application for students who respond positively to flash cards, besides catering to requirements of teachers as well as study groups. You can also garner ecological points for choosing digital flash cards instead of paper ones. Finally the reduction of its price from $16 to $10 is sure to work in favor of the application.

Apple working to create new ARM processor for the next-generation iPhone

September 16, 2008 · Filed Under News · Comment 

The senior manager of Apple’s chip team Wei-han Lien, surprisingly dished out the morsel on LinkedIn saying about the creation of an ARM processor for the next-generation iPhone.

This statement could verify the expectations that were estimated since April when Apple attained chip start-up PA Semiconductor for about $300 million.

Apple confirmed that it acquired the company for its talent as PA Semi had compiled an all-star cast of chip engineers, with Lien. Apple chief executive Steve Jobs stated in an interview in June that PA Semi team would work on crafting spanking new processors for potential iPhones and iPods though type of processor was not clear.

According to many analysts Apple declines to confirm whether the company uses ARM processors made by Samsung - which are very common in the mobile device industry- in the iPhone.

Apple could craft a processor that meets the specific needs of the iPhone and iPod by developing its own ARM alternative.

Fred Weber, the former chief technology officer of Advanced Micro Devices and current chief executive of memory specialist Metaram stated that they could set software accelerators on there or possibly do something like a graphics engine.

Can Your iPhone Fart?

September 9, 2008 · Filed Under News · Comment 

If you are one those who paid $500 last year or a couple of hundred bucks this year for an iPod that has mobile phone capabilities and lets you surf the web and a whole load of features! I have a question can it fart!

Well, your iphone can show you your way around the traffic, wake you up in the morning, or organise your schedule, but no it cant pass some gas virtually!
It couldnt until Sam (the developer who doesn’t like to reveal his last name) came to the rescue and created an app called Pull My Finger. Sam’s fart idea didnt pass by as smooth as he would have wanted. He was discomfited when he got the note from the iPhone team that said, “We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will not be published to the App Store.”

Sam complained that he had spent “tens of minutes developing this application” and had his reasoning to why Apple rejected the app:

“The fact that it was rejected is a curiosity. As many people have pointed out on YouTube and other deeply philosophical forums, there seems to be a disconnect between Apple’s message of allowing vulgarity in the iTunes store but not in the App Store,” Sam continued. “Also, the message of ‘limited appeal’ to the iPhone community doesn’t seem true. Our personal opinion is that some app reviewer at Apple is scared that Steve will be sitting at dinner, and will hear some awful sounds coming out of an iPhone at a nearby table. And that he will have the reviewer’s head on a skewer for allowing it to happen”.

Hillarious! Well it is not impossible that Apple had concerns about iPhone not being very pleasant at the wrong times. Just as a little treat i got this video off youtube for all you cyberzest readers:
