Leave your bulky equipment at home DJs, this potential new iPad app will have you traveling light!
Developers from Argentina, China, Germany, Sweden, England, and Canada were given this weekend to compete at the iPadDevCamp to develop the best app for the iPad. The best apps received various prizes that ranges from iPads to keyboards and cases. There were many prize-winning apps created. The Relay app allows you to drag web sites, text, and music to and from the iPad and computer. The iPad Slot Machine app integrates the iPhone and the iPad. In this iPad Slot Machine, the iPhone acts as the “lever” of the slot machine, which is comprised of 3 iPads. When the iPhone is thrown or the “lever is pulled,” the iPad shows spinning objects and these objects will spin similarly to a slot machine. However, among the imaginative apps created, there was one specific app that caught our eye, or rather, in our ear. [via TheAppleBlog]
Destroy The Silence is an iPad experiment by Rana Sobhany. The purpose of this experiment is to question whether users can professionally DJ with two iPads and an iPhone. Sobhany asks DJs, listeners and the like to question if the iPad will revolutionize the way people create music. Time will only tell if this new way of DJ-ing will work, but listen to this beat and make your own decision [via DestroytheSilence].
Eight long years ago, in 2002, Nelly changed the way that I thought that dancing and clubbing should be. He said that if I got hot in the club, I should “take off my clothes.” Clearly this is the logical conclusion when I get hot. However, now with the iPad, you can get the Weather.com app, so rather than put yourself in a compromising position of having to “take your clothes off,” you can check the weather so that you can dress yourself appropriately. Look at this large advertising plug place on the Weather.com site:
Disclaimer: If I have made you reminisce about Nelly back in the day and if you are still wondering why he wore that band-aid on his face, I will satiate your desire for remembering the past and leave you with this video of “Hot In Herre” by Nelly:
Luke Wilson vs. Big Red. iPhone vs. Blackberry. These enemies are no more.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is noted to be producing an iPhone for Verizon. Supposedly, “the new iPhones is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which produced Apple’s previous iPhones. The model that has CDMA capability, used by Verizon Wireless, is being manufactured by Pegatron Technology Corp., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan’s ASUSTeK Computer Inc., said these people” [via Wall Street Journal]. Apple, Pegatron, Hon Hai and Verizon have not commented on this potential product. While all of these companies are pleading the 5th, Apple will yield the greatest results as they will be benefiting from both AT&T and Verizon users.
I know plenty of iPhone users who are frustrated with AT&T services and now they will be able to continue to enjoy their user interface and apps on their iPhone with Verizon. So maybe Apple isn’t causing incest breeding between these two providers, but Steve Jobs is dipping into two honey pots.
Opera Software announced today that their Opera Mini web browser app is going to Apple today for the iPhone. This Opera Mini software essentially will improve the performance on your iPhone. Rumor has it that Opera mini will be 6 times faster than Safari on the iPhone, as well as “Due to server-side rendering, Opera Mini compresses data by up to 90 percent before sending it to the phone, resulting in rapid page loading and more Web per MB for the end user” [via MacRumors]. Watch this video to see the capabilities of the Opera Mini and get ready to get this app when Jobs gives the green light:
