There are a lot of things you can do with your iphone and this is all thanks to the apps that have been developed for it. But one thing most people are going to love is this surveillance app that is now available at the Apple store.
Smartvue today announced that Smartvue for iPhone is now available on the Apple App Store. The app also adds video surveillance capabilities to any second-generation iPod touch.
“Smartvue for iPhone enables cost effective video surveillance using almost any network camera,” said Martin Renkis, Smartvue’s founder & CEO.
“Smartvue for iPhone is a smart, simple, and elegant video surveillance solution for iPhone and offers a natural extension to the award winning line of Smartvue wireless cameras and network video recorders.”
There are many alternatives to using Yahoo Messenger on the iPhone, but a native client that comes with the usual dash of purple and yellow should have many Yahooligans foaming at the mouth right now.
Most of the features from the desktop version have been carried over to the iPhone’s smaller screen including emoticons, avatars, custom status, invisibility, and the option to send SMS to contacts.
The application will also allow sending of pictures clicked using the iPhone’s camera. Minimizing to the background is of course not possible as of now, but we will have to wait and see if OS 3.0 will facilitate that.
When you have a big company you’re going to have to expect a bunch of smaller companies trying to get a slice of the success, Apple is no exception.
Apparently a company by the name of Affinity Labs is sueing apple claiming to hold patents on technology for browsing, streaming, and downloading content over wireless and cellular networks. Yep, they are targeting both iTunes and the App Store.
But that’s not all, another company by the name of Accolade Systems is accusing Apple of infringing on their patent for CMOS image sensors in the iPhone camera.
The iPhone is a wondrous piece of telecommunications equipment, so why not make it even better by introducing Skype for the iPhone? This application is ripe for an announcement at next week’s wireless CTIA tradeshow in Las Vegas.
Skype has yet to come up with further news on this rumor, so we’ll have to wait until Tuesday afternoon in Vegas for their press conference to bare all. After all, Skype thinks that mobile is the next big thing when it comes to growing its business, so they’re probably keeping their fingers crossed that more than 405 million registered users will also have a go at Skype for the iPhone should it be confirmed by next week.
There’s one catch though – the new Skype application for the iPhone is tipped to be restricted to Wi-Fi networks only, just like how Apple treated other third-party services like Fring.
RAmos has announced a successor to the venerable iMovie T8 portable media player. Known as iMovie 2, it shares many similarities with its predecessor although you would sit up and take notice of the polished aluminum exterior that is somewhat reminiscent of the iPhone.
The 4.3″ capacitive touchscreen display boasts a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and will set you back by $132 thereabouts, accompanied by a rather healthy 16GB of internal memory.
Apple has plans to make even more money from its huge fanbase by introducing premium games in its App Store, and these titles will retail for $19.99 thereabouts once they meet a new set of stringent requirements for quality and value set forth by Apple.
Hopefully these will not be the equivalent of shovelware found on the DS platform that has cheap titles going for a similar price point. We’re interested to see what are the types of titles that will be released.
Ridax has rolled out its Small Charge Converter for the iPod and iPhone, which misses out on the mini-USB port that is available on the much larger original converter design. The Small Charge Converter lives up to its namesake by measuring 40mm x 18mm x 11mm.
Apple’s has allowed Web browser applications to trickle into its App Store without much fanfare although this is rather big news. Some of these include the Edge Browser, Incognito, WebMate and Shaking Web.
Edge Browser will be free, while Incognito retails for $1.99 and does as it says – leaving no trail of your browsing habit. As for the $0.99 WebMate, that features tabs while the $1.99 Shaking Web makes sites easier to read by its very own method.
Walmart is excited to announce the availability of the Apple iPhone 3G at nearly 2,500 Walmart stores beginning Sunday, December 28, 2008. The retailer will offer the black 8 GB iPhone3G model with the every day price of $197 and the 16 GB black or white model for $297, with a new two-year service agreement from AT&T or qualified upgrade. As America’s price leader, Walmart’s price match policy also allows stores to match the price of any local competitor’s advertised store price on the same item within the same promotional period.
“We are delighted to bring customers this ground-breaking mobile technology,” said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Entertainment, Walmart. “Our electronics associates have been preparing for many weeks for the arrival of iPhone 3G. We are excited to now help new customers learn more about the features and services that make the iPhone unique.”
