Pulse is an innovative and great looking visual news reader for iPad, which has quickly become one of the most popular apps in the App Store - even after Steve Jobs praised it and the New York Times managed to force Apple to temporarily remove it.
The Alphonso Labs developers decided they wanted to do things bigger though, so they started working on an iPhone version of Pulse - Pulse Mini.
Is the iPhone 4 really that good at recording HD videos and let you edit them on the go with iMovie? Could this setup ever lead to professional mobile creations?
I was impressed yesterday by the quality of these two videos I stumbled upon on Vimeo, and decided to embed them below. I look forward to start playing with iMovie and see what I can come up with. If you have more videos to share, drop us a comment below.
In 5 days, people have downloaded the official Live Messenger app for iPhone more than one million times, Microsoft announced on its official Windows Team Blog.
“While Messenger for iPhone is relatively new, for many connecting with Messenger friends on your mobile phone is not new. In addition to the more than one million iPhone Messenger users, there are over 24 million people who connect with Messenger friends from other mobile phones through a client application, their phone’s browser, or SMS. Along with Messenger Connect, Messenger IM in Hotmail, and the coming integration with Xbox LIVE, the new iPhone app is just one more way that we are bringing Messenger to you across the web and on your phone.”
Microsoft should deeply think about its success in the App Store before even thinking about building an alternative.
The guys over at Redmond Pie have managed to modify the iMovie application file and install it on an iPhone 3GS. As you can see from the video after the break, it works just fine, despite Apple selling it as iPhone 4 exclusive for its high RAM requirements.
I assume that to do this you’ll have to edit the .ipa file of the app and enter a few strings to add 3GS support, then move the app into your device via SSH or iTunes. Redmond Pie removed the step-by-step guide due to Apple DRM violation, so I can’t tell. If you installed iMovie on your 3GS too, please let us know.
Apple hasn’t announced the official July release date for the iPhone 4 yet, but there are a few hints suggesting that it might launch between July 15 and July 31. Remember the white iPhone? Apple said it would launch by the second half of July because they’re having some problems manufacturing it. Then, some providers have already removed their iPhone 3GS plans from their homepages and said new plans for “something new” are coming “soon”.
Now, ApfelBlog has discovered some strings in Orange’s website (the provider that carries the iPhone 3GS in Switzerland) which report that the iPhone 4 is “not available yet but will launch on July 31”.
If you downloaded the WWDC ‘10 keynote from iTunes (or watched it online), you’ve already seen this. In case you haven’t, Apple has posted a new iPhone 4 commercial entirely focused on FaceTime, the video calling technology built in the new iPhone. You can watch the ad here.
The 1 minute video shows different usage scenarios for FaceTime: a deaf couple signing, a kid graduating, a baby smiling to his dad on the iPhone screen. Like I said when I first saw the ad, well done.
The guys over at Engadget got tired of waiting for Apple to ship the white iPhone 4 (even though some units have been spotted in some Apple stores) and decided to build their own model.
They tore apart a standard black model, replaced the front and back covers with some Chinese parts, left a black home button because they hadn’t a replacement for that.
The end result is pretty good, check it out after the break.
The best (worst?) videos and pictures of this week, rounded up in a single post. Viva el iPhone 4.
