dTunes – like iTunes, but free!

Cydia, apps September 7th, 2008

dTunes, a new app by Richard Shearman, lets you grab all the free music you’d like, downloaded straight to your iPhone using some magic to combine SeeQPod’s streaming .mp3 service and Jonathan Misurda’s useful Safari Download Plugin.

Download dTunes (available via Cydia now on the MMi repo), and once installed, tap the magnifying glass or the Search Seeqpod button. dTunes will bring up a window with Seeqpod in it – simply search for the music you’d like, and when found, tap the song.

dTunes will bring up a download screen, and pull the .mp3 from Seeqpod’s source to your iPhone. Then head back to the main screen of dTunes, and simply tap the song you’d like to hear to play it! dTunes includes a media player directly in it, so you don’t have to switch applications, etc – its an all in one solution.

And yes, it even works via 3G and EDGE. Great for when you’re out and about, and hear a song you remember you want to grab at home (which I do all the time) – now you can just open dTunes and get it for free.

Please also check out the dev’s site, and send him a donation if ya like what he’s done.

Another freaking app for your iPhone – NaDa

AppStore, apps August 6th, 2008

Enjoy the new NaDa™ 0.5 !

NaDa™ is a new concept. A thought, really. It is very light : 1 byte. It doesn’t take long to fetch. It doesn’t take long to understand. It doesn’t disturb your habits nor does it makes you feel insecure. It is a reassuring piece of software that does nothing, and does it very well. That’s a lot !

Most products we see on the market want to increase our productivity, organize our screen joyfully or make wonders with our sound card, but NaDa™ does nothing. This is a revolutionary whole new approach, a concept far beyond what you usually expect from the software industry. Download it and forget it.

Bloomberg’s iPhone app a window onto Wall Street

AppStore, apps July 15th, 2008

The world of finance is sober, serious business, ever more so in a struggling through economy. Bloomberg’s freeware application for the iPhone and iPod Touch gives information-seekers a clear view of the moment with financial headlines, a ticker finder, and a fleshed-out index of world markets.

Bloomberg stocks on the iPhone

An appealing dark-themed app, Bloomberg contains a read-only newsfeed and statistics on various exchanges in global markets. Highs, lows, and a graph of yearlong performance are displayed for each exchange–further charts and tables are available for industry and stock movers.

Even better, entering stocks and your share holdings into the My Stocks folder creates a personalized portfolio you can watch for daily fluctuation.

LiveJournal.app has been updated

apps July 15th, 2008

LiveJournal.app v.0.3.1

LiveJournal.app has been upgraded to version 0.3.1. This upgrade is mostly about fixing previous version’s bugs rather than installing new features, but there are some of those as well.

What’s new:

  • you can choose a userpic for each entry and choose your default userpic;
  • now you can add new tags in the “edit entry” menu;
  • the program now remembers your Location(s), so you’ll be able to choose one of the earlier specified locations when editing your entry (this locations menu will become available as soon as your save at least one location);
  • progress bar for image upload now reflects the real upload progress;
  • the option of choosing images is now available for versions below 1.1.3 (this hasn’t been tested);
  • a menu with options to open the journal or the published entry opens up after successful publication.

What’s old:

  • bug fix for ScrapBook authentication, which did not recognize usernames with _ (underscore);
  • bug fix for application’s shutdown during posting with no internet connection;
  • within the limits of one session the application does not upload the same pictures once more if they were specified for upload twice or if the connection was broken in the process of the posting;
  • bug fix for mistakes found in the process of working with the tag selection table;
  • bug fix for sometimes incorrect behavior of the Post button;
  • several other insignificant bugs were fixed.

Special thanks go out to [info]dorofej, [info]qik, [info]diesel_ks, [info]ruben и [info]padla_cableguy for their help in testing this application. It became much more stable with their help.
Also thanks to [info]q_marik for her help in translating all of this into English.
