Improve your Drag-and-Drop Workflow
Sometimes a new app comes around and changes the way you interact with a device. It happened before. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here always living on the edge of the App Store looking for new promising pieces of software. The app we’re previewing today is more than promising, it’s a big leap forward, at least for me.
My Artists has replaced iPod.app on my iPhone.
I’m not exactly into music games, but this app for iPhone could help me rediscover the genre. If you know what Guitar Hero is, that it shouldn’t be difficult to understand the main concept of Street Orchestra: you have to tap on “music notes” coming down from a “panel” to keep playing a specific song. It’s very simple and addictive.
“The Flexible Speaker for the iPhone is quite a departure from conventional speaker styles. More like a pretty hanging charm on the phone, this device makes use of “Flat Flexible Laminated, (FFT) Loudspeaker technology” to its advantage. Read: paper-thin & foldable. The folding aspect is relevant; coz with each un-fold of the connecting speaker, the volume goes up.”

It would be such an instant purchase.
Game developers are announcing lots of new stuff at the E3, and it’s good to see so many of them are planning to release games for iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen Final Fantasy Tactics being ported to the iPhone. Now, Sega and Capcom have announced that Sonic 4 and 1942: First Strike are coming to the iPhone.
Square Enix announced yesterday that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions is coming to the iPhone. Final Fantasy Tactics is a departure from a the usual mechanics of the Final Fantasy series, featuring an isometric view of the battlefield and many, many customization options for your characters. The original game first appeared on the Play Station in 1997, and War of Lions is a remake Square Enix launched on PSP 2 years ago.
Square Enix hasn’t announced a release date yet, or whether this “remake of the remake” will carry along some exclusive features for the iPhone. Check out the promo video after the break.
In less than 24 hours, for the busiest day of online sales in AT&T’s history.
Engadget has heard from AT&T:
“Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We’ll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24.”
You know, stuff that happens for Android phones too.
Apple opened up the pre-orders of the iPhone 4 earlier today, but has also confirmed the rumors we heard yesterday: the white iPhone 4 is not available yet. Whether this means that US customers have to wait a few more weeks or that it will be available by the launch in more countries in July, we don’t know. We seriously hope so though.
Always curious as to my status of fame and glory on Twitter, Tweeb has given me a little bit of insight on just how spectacularly average I am. Just how many of my quality followers are clicking my links? What bastards are unfollowing me this week? And what of my snarky material is being re-tweeted for all to revel in? Tweeb puts a portable analytics engine right in my pocket.
