It has been many months since the May Google announced its music service in the cloud. A platform at that time was released as a beta only for the U.S. territory. Well, since then users have been waiting IOS application that can test the system, application has come today but somewhat different than expected.
What Google has done is to announce via Twitter the launch of a web application from Google Music for IOS. The reasons for him not to leave your own application for Apple devices do not know, maybe not yet been approved in the App Store or Google searches may promote web services.
In any case, users must enter the Web application music.google.com . From there, the company offers users to play music, search, shuffle … no need to open the browser, since we can use the controls for music playback IOS running in the background.
The web application will ask permission to use 25MB of memory on your device IOS, that will help the system space to store the songs you are playing. After consuming these 25MB go, the application will be deleting the first songs I listened.
Little more to add to this release. The application in this first beta perhaps suffers a little slow, probably for not being a native app. We must wait for future updates to see if Google eventually be encouraged to develop a system specifically for each platform.
If you like the websites that save you consult most often in your SpringBoard as a shortcut, this tweak you will love.
Full webclips And it allows just that: to keep access to our favorite websites on the desktop of our iPhone , but with the difference that access to them, we will in full screen mode, rather than with the classic interface Safari, which makes navigation more comfortable, having more area to display the page, and also much more aesthetically appealing. What you see is actually the website as you would an application in itself. But this layout has one drawback: you have lost the address bar, so the only way out of the page will close, or do so through a link of it.
The operation is very simple. Full webclips does not add a new icon in our Springboard, or settings in system settings. Simply, when through our browser using the option to save the page as a shortcut on the desktop, now also see a box labeled “Web Clip Fullscreen” that we can make. If we do, the next time you access the web via the shortcut will do full screen. If left unchecked, the website has been opened as normally open, with the typical view of Safari.
Full webclips is available for free on Cydia . To install it you will have to be done Jailbreak to your iPhone.
The company that makes accessories for devices mobile is releasing new products useful for the iPhone . A few days ago I taught a bluetooth remote control attached to a tripod that will allow us to capture pictures at a distance, very useful if you want to be in the picture or if you want to record a video with the camera still. This accessory works with the application free from the AppStore LiveAction .
Now Belkin surprises us with another accessory also dedicated to improving the use of the iPhone’s camera. LiveAction is called Camera Grip and is an element that attaches to the bottom of the iPhone by connecting pin 30. It carries a few buttons to take pictures or start / stop recording a video. In addition to the terminal is attached with two brackets that can be adapted to embrace Anchara a case. Like the previous accessory works with the application and includes LiveAction tripod mounting kit.
Apple is having many problems with the latest revision 5.0.1 IOS operating system. As we have mentioned there are some users are reporting continuing problems of battery life in your iPhone 4S. This is accelerating the arrival of iOS 5.0.2 that initially was not expected so soon.
We learned that the Cupertino are working on improving the implementation of the iPhone 4S star, the assistant Siri who is currently in beta but quite advanced. We know that Syria is able to answer any question from us but Apple wants to go further allowing the application to perform actions with the device itself. Should be like the new upgrade of IOS would be more important and we may find in version 5.1.
The new revision of Siri can:
Bluetooth on and off when ordered.
Wifi on and off whenever we want.
Place the terminal in flight mode.
Take a photograph or video record a voice, without pushing a button.
The truth is that Apple is taking very seriously the development of Syria and already beginning to hear rumors that it might soon be incorporated in its MacBook and iMac. Can you imagine being able to open or close an application on your MacBook in your own voice? Sure iOS 5.1 only the beginning.
It announced earlier today in Lat Long Blog, the blog for news about Google Maps and Google Earth. Since it is now possible to search by voice on the desktop version of Google Maps, but for now use the browser only if the house and if we are in the United States, since English is currently the only supported language.
The voice recognition is perhaps one of the most important fields in the R & D company’s Mountain View, and the proof is not only the quantity of services and applications, mostly phones, which operate the program in one way or another but how much it has improved in recent years. In the case of Google Maps, using a microphone and addresses by combining with specific commands like going to … or … we can move directions for flawlessly, no matter how difficult it is to pronounce the address in question-in the press release are made ??as Poughkeepsie example and Liechtenstein.
In the following video you can see, with the help of Google , a brief introduction which is the new voice search service for desktop computers:
Maybe in a few years, this would have been even better news, since today very few people use their personal computers with voice commands, and when they do it is to handle specific applications. However, I will not be as critical as others, and I think voice search on Google Maps is a good thing, because they are just big companies like Google that have to lead by example, throwing features and ahead of its time, even though is a small number of people who use them.
Also, do you really so few people use it? It is increasingly common to find people who use your netbook to take office when going away, and use Google maps services in combination with voice commands may not be the end and dig an idea so rare.
One of the applications native to the iPhone is the most widely used YouTube. From here we can easily access to view the videos circulating on the network. I have long taught how to pass the audio from videos to MP3 with the application of Cydia YoutubeToMP3, which is very useful to save the sound of the concerts of our favorite bands to listen to our iPod when we want.
The truth is that the YouTube application works pretty well, so if it all depends on the connection we have. If we are connected by wireless video quality is in HD or at least most with which it has risen. However if we are connected by 3G quality is no longer the same. By default the application downloads the video in a very low resolution format to save data download.
In iOS 5 there is a small trick that allows us to change the quality with which we want to download Youtube videos and best of all is that you do not need jailbreak to get it done. Just follow these steps:
Connect your iPhone with iTunes and iOS 5 to make a backup.
IBackupBot DOWNLOAD for MAC or WINDOWS .
With the program we just downloaded open the iPhone backup.
Access the path Library / Preferences / com.apple.youtubeframework.plist.
Add these lines:
HD3G
Save the modified file and load the backup for the iPhone.
Now we can view Youtube videos in higher quality although it should be remembered that data consumption will be increased significantly.
Siri, the personal assistant that includes the exclusive iPhone 4S, has been ported to 3G . Recently we saw how they had managed to bring the iPhone Siri 4 and as Apple had installed on the iPhone 4 of their employees demonstrating against what they want us to see that this application works on most terminals in the 4S.
Ryan Petrich, famous for its tweaks in Cydia Activator or Action Menu, Siri has managed to bring the iPhone 3G, thanks to jailbreak but the result has not been the same as with the iPhone 4. As you can see in the video below it appears that the lack of 3G processor, remember that came equipped with Cortex-A8 processor at 600MHz, compared to the iPhone 4, Apple A4 to 1Ghz processor, do not slow down the application but Ryan as a problem when receiving sound. Apparently the 3G iPhone’s microphone is not able to correctly distinguish voice from background noise, or at least not as good as they do the iPhone 4 and 4S.

Anyway at the moment is very difficult through the jailbreak Siri can enjoy the iPhone 3G or 4 because, as you know , the operation of this application is based on sending what you ask Apple servers for them to seek the answer and send it to the device. By doing this Apple is able to find since the terminal model Siri is being used and thus reject all devices other than the 4S.
Developers are all now in the field of mobile platforms. Take a few mobile titles to download and will be a fiasco, because nowadays we buy phones as gateways to important new applications. This being the case, it is interesting to see how Microsoft is moving tab for Windows Phone platform to grow enough. He has done for example by allowing an alternative to its developer program officially allowing ChevronWP7 tool , with it you can create applications on the phone for only $ 9.
The next problem is that just make this payment can install many third party applications without going through the Marketplace and as you will understand it is a tasteful dish for developers who live on those sales (just go with Nokia Maps ). In short, on one hand Microsoft seeks to promote the creation of mobile applications in the ecosystem but is favoring another almost piracy. Solution? According to ArsTechnica the solution is already designed and involves the use of an encryption system for XAP package, ie the application software itself, which will place this on a new level of security. This will prevent the application can get to other Windows phones by the back door.
The system you are discussing is ready in Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” and from Redmond are only waiting for most users already in this new version to enable it. It is therefore a measure to preserve their community while still encouraging aa development. That’s why from Ars say that Microsoft seems to fall midway between the freedom that gives Google Android, Apple and stiffness with IOS, will not in the best position for the future?
Slowly but surely, Google is revamping its service interface, with a unified visual style consistent with the brand new Google + . While the search and was modified, the company is now testing a new look for the results pages , but this time it seems that is aimed at tablets.
This new design was discovered by users entering through your iPhone , so it is very likely to be used only in these devices. While the head is almost equal to the traditional search engine, the rest of the elements are modified.
Most striking is the navigation bar, which moves to the top of the screen. By default, it shows three menus, which allow us to choose the type of content, the date thereof and the way it is displayed. For example, opening the first option, as all items are, Images, Videos, News.
The results have more space between them, which makes touch screens by hitting something that Google already has been testing a few months ago. And at the bottom thereof, is no longer displayed the traditional Goooooooooogle to access the following pages, but was replaced by a single row of numbers.
Undoubtedly, the look is cleaner and easier to use from devices where the screen is often used vertically, as is the case of tablets and phones. I wonder if they also adopt features like infinite scroll or renewed preview pane, which would be very useful supplements.
