Experience the sensations and mind twisting perceptions you get by ingesting psychotropic drugs - without the harmful side-effects - using a cool new app from Reality Jockey, Ltd.
Available today on the AppStore, the free single release and the $2.99 album release of RjDj will amaze and amuse you with its combination of built-in soundscapes and the unique contribution your personal reality brings to the party.
Using the microphone of your iPhone, RjDj takes the sounds of whatever ambient environment you find yourself in and morphs them into the single built-in track on the free version, or into one of six tracks on the album version, to both create and influence the music you hear.
The program also allows you to record the unique sensations you have while walking through the city, sitting with friends at a cafe, or playing with children in the garden, which you can save and listen to like a normal music track. Well, maybe not normal, but the effects are stunning, sometimes jarring, nonetheless.
In a world of one-off apps available for the iPhone, RjDj is one I could see going back to again and again.

I never thought I would get excited about a TV guide app on my iPhone. However, if it’s well done and FAST, then I’m all in and that’s exactly what you get with i.TV. i.TV answers the question: "what’s coming on tonight?" The app is pretty straight forward. You start off by telling it where [...]

Over at Howard Forums, user Windsor43 relates the hilarious tale of how an SMS message from him to his wife autocorrected the word “nah” to “nag”.
“Thanks, Steve,” Windsor43 says, “for making my wife almost Think Different.”
I suspect most of us can relate to that one. I tend to sign off messages to loved ones with “gx”, but the iPhone likes to correct that to “Gf”. Is that supposed to be short for “girlfriend” or something? No matter; my wife is used to it already.
(Yes, we’ve heard the rumor about an autocorrect toggle switch in the next iPhone update. Let’s hope it’s true for Windsor43’s sake.)
Have you got any amusing tales of autocorrect woe? Confess all in the comments.

Here's an interesting statistic for you. Now that we have the iPhone and iPhone 3G, most of it's predecessors seem to be pretty low-tech and outdated, including the previous 'hot new thing', the Motorola RAZR. Still, despite already having four years on the market and widely considered old news, it's still outselling the iPhone in the US.

Apple has once again won the “cool factor” with teen iPhone owners now nearly triple ( 8 percent versus 3 percent) compared to a year ago. The Piper Jaffray survey also revealed 22 percent of teens say they plan to buy the Apple handset - up from just 9 percent in 2007.
Other good news for Apple: 84 percent of MP3 players purchased by teens were iPods. Microsoft’s Zune came in a distant second, capturing just 3 percent of the teen marketshare.
Apple’s iTunes music download service now has 93 percent of the market. That’s up from 79 percent uncovered a year ago.
Although 60 percent of music still comes from file-sharing, that number is four percent less than a year ago, when 64 percent of teens said they turn to peer-to-peer services for music. Online music sales appear to have gained from that shift.
“This is essentially an untapped market for legal download services like Napster, Rhapsody, eMusic and Amazon,” Piper Jaffray analyst Andrew Murphy told Cult of Mac.
The buying decisions of teens are an important leading indicator for consumer electronics firms, Murphy said.
“It is clear that Apple’s got the ‘cool factor’ among teens. This gives them an advantage in the teen demographic, where brands are paramount,” Murphy said by e-mail.
Although growth in the MP3 market appears to be slowing, Murphy has upped his estimate for iPod sales to 56.3 million in fiscal 2009, an increased from the 54.8 million expected for this year.
The survey of 769 high school teenagers was conducted “over the last several weeks,” according to Piper Jaffray.
