There's no amount of virtual "disc-scratching" that can replace the training afforded by some real turntable experience. But, if being an iPhone DJ is good enough for you, you'll want to check out Mixmeister Scratch. With the beautifully useful multi-touch capacitance touchscreen on the iPod Touch and iPhone, wannabe disc jockeys can play like they know how to hit the decks with some hardcore vinyl scratching.
"MixMiester Scratch let's you perform a scratch anywhere, anytime ? even right on top of any song in your iPod Touch or iPhone." And, it's true. Just install Mixmeister Scratch on your iPhone, and use the included "scratch-tracks" (basically random music or sounds that work well for scratch sounds) to annoy your co-workers. Mixmeister Scratch allows you to scratch the day away with the included scratch tracks, or you can overlay the scratching sounds on top of songs from your iTunes library.
Mixmeister Scratch isn't available for download yet, but get on the list to be notified when it is. In the meantime, enjoy the demonstration video.
Everything's a bit muddled in the iPhone firmware world. Will the iPhone v1.2 "Aspen" OS that's used in the iPhone SDK emulator be released prior to the iPhone v2.0 firmware that's due out in June? The iPhone v1.2 Aspen firmware could actually be the firmware that will serve as the iPhone SDK-compatible v2.0 firmware - which means that iPhone developers are already playing with the iPhone 2.0.
In either case, we've got video of the next iPhone firmware. TechCrunch posted a short vid (below) that shows off the iPhone's Microsoft Exchange email setup, the new Calculator app, and the settings screen. Gizmodo is also mirroring a video posted by iPhone Dev Team member "sam," that shows off Exchange support, AppStore, Parental Controls, SDK Support, new calculator applications , CISCO VPN support, and mail mass deletion. You'll have to go to Gizmodo to check out that video.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any search functionality in the iPhone Contacts list. But, we do see the AppStore icon and Exchange is clearly supported.
And, it seems that Apple thinks iPhone users (and their parents) will benefit from a parental control feature. If you need parental controls on your iPhone, you probably shouldn't be using one anyway. Then again, I've seen 9-year olds in Westwood, CA. sporting high-end handsets like the Nokia 8800 - so there might be some need to protect spoiled junior from the savage internet.
Keep reading to check out screen-shots of the new features.
While we haven't heard anything concrete from either Cupertino or Telstra as to when (or even if) the iPhone is coming to Aussie shores, there's new speculation that leads us to believe that Telstra is preparing to receive the iPhone - possibly toting the new iPhone v2.0 firmware.
Telstra has posted an employment listing for someone with "front-end UI" experience develop a search-application for the iPhone. We can't imagine that such an app would be of much use to any network, let alone the network's subscribers, without an iPhone. Regardless of potential problems with Australia's telecom regulations, it seems that the iPhone is indeed coming to Telstra.
Now, if Telstra is planning to develop a native iPhone application using the iPhone SDK, then we would have to assume that the Australian Telstra iPhone will launch with iPhone 2.0 firmware already installed. That, in turn would indicate that the iPhone will go Australian sometime in late June. One the other hand, if the search application turns out to be a web-app, then we could see the iPhone coming to Australia even sooner.
The iPhone looks set to get yet another interesting game - this time of the driving variety. Known as Crazy Kart, the video demo you see above looks pretty smooth, where a virtual steering wheel is located right at the bottom which you use to control your on-screen avatar. The game’s developer is now experimenting with tilt options and landscape display possibilities. Good thing they are also working on four-player multiplayer that adds to portable gaming mayhem courtesy of a WiFi connection. I’ll still stick to my Mario Kart DS, thank you very much. That’s where the real hardcore gamers play anyways.
mobilePeople is bringing its award-winning "liquid" mobile search platform to iPhone. The idea is of course to get some media attention (they got ours), while "extending new monetisation opportunities for directory publishers and directory assistance companies" at the same time.
That being said, users of the Apple's shiny handset will be able to search Yellow Pages, White Pages and other content published using the liquid platform. Functionality includes a click to call option, get directions to a desired address, save any business search to contacts, send results to a friend and the function to see results on a map.
mobilePeople highlights the mapping experience because their solution allows users to interact with the map. Raster maps in combination with layering technology allow for user touch interaction.
Finally, and this comes without surprise at all, mobilePeople is also set to introduce a client based mobile local search for the iPhone based on Apple's recently announced iPhone SDK.
