Repair corrupt cycorder movie file

January 27th, 2010 Amit No comments

I am big fan of cycorder video recorder. Recorder very well adds the missing feature of recording in iPhone 2G, 3G.
It really sucks at times when one records a video and try to play this and it displays a message that video can’t be played.
As of now there is no solution present as per my knowledge :-( . There is some hope after seeing road map on Saurik’s site. It may take a month or two for the next release. So don’t delete your important videos, which are corrupted. You can be able to play them after a while :-) .

iPhone 4G

January 14th, 2010 Amit 1 comment

Lots of smart phone have made entry since the launch of iPhone. Almost all the phones have been compared with iPhone every time. iPhone may not be the phone with lots of features that other smart phones offer but there is no doubt about the usability and quality of iPhone. App store puts iPhone first in this list.
With the launch of Nexus-one, iPhone’s short comings have become noticeable now. People have started speculating about next version of iPhone 4G. Here is list of features, people are thinking about iPhone 4G.
1. Dual-core processor
2. 5 Mega Pixel camera
3. Camera on both side for video chat and video recording
4. Better, replaceable battery option
5. More storage capacity
6. Flash support
7. Graphics card for better graphics
8. Higher resolution

With these features, iPhone will be again far away from the race of all the smart phones. We are expecting launch of new iPhone at the end of April’10. Lets see what is apple going to offer us this time. Let us know about your opinion for the same.

Apple’s next generation iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

All the rumours and guesses are over. Apple’s next generation iPhone 3G[S] is announced officially. Apple is not removing their old iPhone 3G at this time. They’ll start selling iPhone 3G for 99$ in US and new iPhone 3G[S] will be sold for 199$ and 299$ for 16 and 32 GB respectively.

iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G[S] both are loaded with iPhone 3.0. So from software point of view both are same. The difference in iPhone 3G[S] is hardware. iPhone 3G[S] has better processor, additional ram, good camera and compass.

Main highlights of iPhone 3G[S]

  1. Better processing power. Almost everything is 2 times faster than iPhone 3G
  2. 3 Mega pixel auto focus camera for great picture quality. By tapping on image you can set your focus point.
  3. It can record 30FPS high quality VGA video in landscape and portrait mode.
  4. Voice controls for calling your contacts or playing your song lists. It allows you to query information regarding a playing song.
  5. Build in digital Compass, which reorients maps in the direction you are facing. Also it is a new technology for developers. I am sure that we’ll see some great application and games by using compass.
  6. Cut, Copy and paste across applications.
  7. Landscape keyboard layout for messaging and emailing.
  8. Send text, pic, video, location or contact to anyone. You can even forward messages to others.
  9. Spotlight search. One search for all your contacts, emails, calendars, notes, songs and videos.
  10. Surf the web from practically anywhere. Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop.
  11. Store voice recording of your notes and meetings.
  12. Nike Application
  13. and many more….

3rd Party Web browsers in iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

Opera developed a web browser for iPhone long time ago and apple rejected it at that time. Now Apple announced that it will allow 3rd party web browser in App store. Is this a change in apple’s thinking? Are Apple’s in house applications ready to face the external world? Try out the flowing browser and may be that you get a hint.
• Edge Browser (Free) – No loss of screen real estate to the address or navigation bars.
• WebMate: Tabbed Browser ($0.99) – Web Mate simplifies browsing by queuing up all the links you click on, then allowing you to view them one by one when you’re ready.
• Incognito ($1.99) – Now you can browse without leaving a history of any kind.
• Shaking Web ($1.99) – adds a sophisticated algorithm to compensate for small hand shaking to allow for easier reading.
This is really a major change in Apple’s approval policy. What will be the future of iPhone App store? [Open for All app ;) ]

Google voice search coming to iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 iPhoneInterest No comments

You say where is the nearest PizzaHut and it gives you search results on browser window. so cool… isn’t it.

Sound is converted into text file through voice recognition software and sent to google search engine.  The application is expected soon on App Store. It is controversial though that they are launching it first on iPhone and not Google android phone.
