iPhoneHeat BudTrap Les cordons de nos écouteurs, lorsqu’ils ne sont pas utilisés, ressemblent le plus souvent à un enchevêtrement de nœuds marins. BudTrap se propose de remettre un peu d’ordre dans ces fils. Il s'agit d'un anneau qui se fixe au niveau du connecteur jack et possède une fente pour maintenir le cordon. De ce fait, on peut soit accrocher notre lecteur multimédia au mur grâce au fil ou bien enrouler le fil autour de l’appareil lui-même avant de figer le tout avec l’anneau. Une idée plutôt maline même si l'on peut se demander si écran tactile et fils enroulés font toujours bon ménage... Cet anneau décliné dans 8 couleurs différentes peut être utilisé avec la plupart des lecteurs portables, vu que la majorité d'entre eux est dotée d'une connexion jack. Budtrap est vendu 6 dollars l'unité (hors frais de port d'environ 4 dollars).
How to restore iPhone app data from backup | iPhone Atlas The iTunes App Store has been around for eight months and now lists more than 25,000 apps. If you're like me, you've probably purchased a dozen or more of these apps and hopefully, you're backing up your computer regularly to protect your purchases. But backups only work if you know how to use them to restore lost data. Frequently, the iPhone and iPod Touch require complicated restores and multiple layers of backup; this how-to will show you how to conquer the restore beast. Step 1: Reinstall your apps in iTunes A friend recently experienced a power failure that resulted in damage to his iTunes library file. iTunes automatically regenerated the file, but the iPhone and iPod Touch apps and their data were missing. We restored the apps easily from his backups and so they ended up where we expected them: Mac ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications or Windows C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications. Afterward, the apps synced again with the iPhone.
Transferring your iTunes Library For most users, iTunes does a great job of handling all of the details of managing your media library for you, allowing you to manage your content through iTunes itself and not having to worry too much about the underlying files and folders that make up your iTunes library. Unfortunately, this user-friendly approach has one serious limitation: When it comes time to move your iTunes library, it can often be a bit of a challenge to figure out exactly what pieces you need to move and how to go about doing this. Many iTunes users start out with a basic iTunes library and use the default settings to store all of their media content on their primary internal hard drive. However, as you add new content over time, particularly with the additional video content now supported by iTunes, you may soon find that your library threatens to take over your computer. Another common scenario many users find themselves in is what to do when they upgrade to a new computer. How iTunes Manages Media Content

iPad 2 - is it True How To Use Google Voice On iPhone Why if you miss Siri you’ll miss the future of the Web Siri is the most useful thing I’ve seen so far this year. But after playing with it, getting an interview with its CEO (video here on building43) it’s even more important for you to pay attention to. It is the best example of what the web will be. Let’s go back. Web 1994 was the “get me a domain and a page” era. Siri is the best example. Why is it so different? Because on the back end they’ve stitched together a sizeable group of APIs from services like Opentable to Flightstats. Before it was common only for a couple of APIs to be joined together, here they have dozens. That’s the other thing. Why is this really new and important? No, the real secret sauce and huge impact on the future of the web is in the back end of this thing. I just asked Siri “who checked into the Half Moon Bay Ritz?” Now you and I know that we could look at Foursquare to find that answer, but Siri didn’t know the answer and brought me results from Bing. This is the future of the web.
iA » Designing for iPad: Reality Check Over the last two months we have been working on several iPad projects: two news applications, a social network, and a word processor. We worked on iPad projects without ever having touched an iPad. One client asked us to “start working on that tablet thing” before we even knew whether the iPad was real. The question Are we designing desktop apps, web sites, or something else entirely? Even though we developed everything inside the black box of Photoshop, it became quite clear that iPad app design is substantially different from web design in many ways. 1. The obvious issue with the resolution gap is typography. Is the font big enough? …we had no choice but to print out 1:1 scale mockups. Reality check: Wow, this thing is sharp! After two months of printing, we did get the typography pretty much right, but there was another surprise waiting for us: The sharpness. Web body text sizes (e.g. 16px) feel too small on iPad, while bigger sizes clash with the canvas dimensions. 2. 3. Stay tuned
Siri And The iPhone’s Physical Keyboard The backlash was inevitable. Siri has had a bit of an image problem this past week. Just like all technology propelled by the tailwinds of hype, it hit the inevitable wall of tech punditry. This magically turned the stream of largely positive stories into a river of negative stories under the guise of things like: “the voice of reason” or the “wake up call”. It’s the oldest trick in the book and it never fails to generate massive pageview energy. First of all, the downtime issue is a total red herring. That’s why stories demanding an explanation for Siri’s downtime are comical. The more interesting angle of the backlash goes after what Siri is and what Siri is not. Yet. Again, see: beta. The key is when Jordan also complains that she can often type faster than Siri can think. Now all of those people seem to happily be using iPhones (or Android phones) without physical keyboards without problems. Everyone is amazed now when they see children interact with the iPad in such a natural way.
for iPad is here! Two months ago, we sat glued to our browsers as details of the iPad started streaming out of Apple’s launch event. It didn’t take us very long to formulate our official strategy for the new device: we were going to support the hell out of it, and we had 60 days to do it. Today is iPad launch day and as long lines start to form outside of Apple stores and UPS-Santa makes his rounds to sleepless geek households, we’re happy to say that Evernote for the iPad is live in the Apple AppStore! The new Evernote version (3.3) for Apple’s mobile devices is a universal binary that will run on all iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices. Something to hold Designing the new interface was a daunting task. What should it be? We tried taking our existing iPhone UI and making it bigger. One major design principle of our iPad interface is to get you to your notes quickly. Things to try We’ll post a complete tutorial of all the features soon, but in the meantime here are some things you should try: Views Places
