Apple Musik Event: Zusammenfassung aller Neuheiten
Apple’s gestriges Musik-Event war voller toller Neuerungen und Gadgets. Hier kommt die Kurzzusammenfassung der Apple-News vom 1. September:
Apple TV wird anscheinend doch nicht iTV heißen, wurde dafür aber in der letzten Zeit mit vielen neuen Features vollgepackt. Der neue Service baut vollkommen auf Streaming auf, belegt nur mehr 1/4 des ursprünglichen Platzes, und kommt mit HDMI-Ausgang, Ethernet-Anschluss, 802.11n WiFi und dem unschlagbaren Preis von 99 $.

iTunes bringt in Version 10 vor allem eine große Neuerung: Ping, Apple’s neues Social Network für Musik. Ping könnte als “Twitter für Musik” bezeichnet werden und verbindet Benutzer ähnlich wie Twitter oder Facebook. Man kann Songs, Videos, Fotos und Kommentare posten und die Meldungen anderer kommentieren. Gepostete Songs kann man mit 1 Klick kaufen.

iPod Touch, iPod Nano und iPod Shuffle kommen in neuen Versionen und Apple hat dafür gesorgt, dass sich der Neukauf lohnt. Für den iPod classic gibt es erstmals kein Update.

iOS 4.1 bringt einige heiß-ersehnte Features, Bugfixes und auch unerwartetes: Probleme mit dem Annäherungssensor (Proximity Sensor) und Bluetooth wurden behoben und Geschwindigkeitsprobleme am iPhone 3G sollen der Vergangenheit angehören. HD-Videos kann man schon bald über WiFi ins Internet hochladen, und die Kamera wurde um eine HDR-Funktion erweitert. Außerdem kann man TV Shows “ausleihen”.
Das 4.1 Upgrade kommt bereits in der nächsten Woche auf iPhone und iPod Touch (allerdings nicht auf alle Modelle).

Gamecenter ist ebenfalls ein Feature, das mit dem iOS 4.1 erstmals auf die iDevices der Benutzer kommt. Das Social Gaming Network à la Xbox Live kommt nächste Woche mit dem iOS Update auf iPhone und iPod Touch, die iPad-Version kommt dann zusammen mit iOS 4.2 auf das iPad.

Last but not least: Eine iOS 4.2 Vorschau zeigt, was schon in naher Zukunft auf iPhone, iPad und iPod Touch möglich sein wird. Das wohl coolste Feature ist hier die AirPlay-Kompatibilität – Musik und Video können im November, wenn iOS 4.2 veröffentlicht wird, wireless von iTunes auf die iDevices gestreamt werden. Auch Wireless Printing wird erstmals möglich sein, und das iPad wird endlich mit Multitasking wie im iPhone 4 ausgestattet.

Google Goggles kommt aufs iPhone
Einem Bericht von The Register zufolge arbeitet Google derzeit fleißig an einer iPhone-Version für die Foto-basierte Suche mit Goggles:
“We’re working on an iPhone version, and hope to have it out by the end of the year,” David Petrou, a Google staff engineer working on the Goggles project, told his keynote audience at Monday’s Hot Chips conference at Stanford University in California.
A web app for Goggles, Petrou said, isn’t currently an option, even with HTML5?s enhanced media-capture abilities. “There is a new part of HTML5,” he said, “that allows you to acquire an image from a camera. And that’s really nice and really useful, but we don’t think it’s sufficient for something like Goggles that needs very fine control over the camera.

iPhone Apps that Help You Manage Your Finances
As the US national debt reaches an alarming level of $13 trillion, the primary concern of most people is how to get out of debt. Excessive use of credit cards and poor handling of finances is dragging most people deeper into debt. The good news is that there are many iPhone applications that can help you manage your finances in such a way that you can avoid financial ruin. Most people today want to use smarter phones, especially an iPhone because of its portability and multiple uses. If you want to carry your phone as a money-saver, then have a look at the applications that can help you do so.
- Currency converter: It often happens that you shop around in foreign destinations and you get ripped off due to the limitation of your mathematical abilities. Due to this, you land up overspending and overusing. The new application ‘currency converter’ assesses the currencies of over 200 countries and thus stops you from being scammed into buying too much. Travelers are often confused because they are unaware of how much you are spending in a foreign country. It would be imprudent on your part to travel without such an application installed in your iPhone.
- Trapster: Isn’t it wise to carry an iPhone and prevent yourself from spending too much unnecessary money? So take advantage of the ‘speed trap’ application on your iPhone and avoid paying unnecessary fines for exceeding the speed limit . This application will give you an early notification of areas which are popular for speed traps, which will help you stick to the limit with your iPhone applications.
- Owed: You may have been using multiple credit cards and in case you forget the amounts that you owe , then use the ‘Owed’ application in your iPhone. With this, you can keep a track of the amount of money you owe, ensuring payment. This will save you money on late fees and penalties that often accumulate and raise your outstanding balance.
- Balance: The best way you can save money is to not spend more money than you have. With this app, you can monitor all your bank balances and make sure that you never overdraft. Overdrafting your account you will lead to wasting money in interest payments.
If you own an iPhone, why not use it to save you some money? Take advantage of your iPhone and explore the applications to help you manage your finances.
About Author: John Smith is an admired author of debt forum and is popular for his articles on debt consolidation and credit card debt. He has made a notable contribution through his articles, by providing useful information to those who are in debt.

4 Ways to Use your iPhone as Your Home Phone
Along with phone booths, land-line home phones are disappearing. With the advent of incredible smart phone technology like the iPhone many home phone land-line users have questioned the need for their old home phones and have considered using their cell phone for primary use.
I can show you a few ways to actually use your iPhone as your primary home phone. With just a few easy steps, simple and helpful services, or some hardware you can be well on your way to saving some bucks and a few headaches with just one bill from your cell phone company.
YouMail
One application that’s great to support this is YouMail. It’s a visual voicemail service that allows you to:
1) Unify boxes from multiple lines
2) Pick up your voicemail on any device (including iPhone, iPad, and your computer)
You can set it up so our home phone and iPhone voicemail all go to YouMail. When calls come into the home phone, YouMail answers them, captures the voicemail, and then notifies all our devices (iPad, iPhone, and computer). We can then retrieve the voicemail from any device, and call back from the iPhone. This saves us iPhone minutes (we don’t have to give out our cell number to everyone – so the inbound calls to the home phone don’t use minutes), yet allows us to control who we call back using the iPhone.
Google Voice
There’s also Google Voice. Although there is no official Google Voice iPhone app due to Google and Apple’s bickering right now, Google found a genius way to work around this little ‘problem’ – a web app. Now, this isn’t just any ‘ole web app it has HTML 5 features that make this web app feel as powerful as a native iPhone app.
Using Google Voice a your home phone replacement solution provides you with one centralized number, voicemail, free US long distance, and low rates on international calls – which is ideal for streamlining all your phone calls. To use Google Voice on your iPhone :
- Tap on “Safari” or any other web browser you have installed on your iPhone.
- Enter “m.google.com/voice“ in the address bar of your browser.
- Log in (if you have an account) and make your phone calls using the Google dialer screen on your iPhone.
- When making an outbound call Google Voice will prompt you to accept the call after dialing the number.
- To complete the call press “Call” to accept, listen for a ring tone, and start chatting away when the other caller picks up.
Skype
Using Skype to replace that yucky old landline is as simple as downloading the Skype iPhone app. Skype’s iPhone app features unlimited free Skype-to-Skype calling and an unlimited monthly subscription service (currently priced at $1.09/month) that lets you make phone calls to landlines and mobile phones using a 3G or WiFi connection. To use Skype:
- Download the Skype iPhone app from the App Store.
- Enter your Skype account log in information and make your outbound phone calls by entering the phone number you wish to reach.
- Skype also allows you to set up your mobile number to appear when you make a call so they can recognize the you as the caller.
Hardware
Patrick with Caruso Apps suggests using the “XLink BT Bluetooth Gateway” connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth, and will automatically do so whenever the phone is within range. You then plug your home phone (cordless, corded, duck phone, etc.) into this little box and viola! Now, when your iPhone rings, you can use your home phone system to answer calls. This works well for anyone, but is especially useful for people who have reception difficulties in their houses. It allows you to leave the iPhone where it works best and have the freedom to walk around with your crystal-clear cordless phone instead. It’s highly rated on Amazon and sells for about $78. If you’re looking to make the switch to cell phone only, but aren’t willing to give up your 5.0GHz 28-handset cordless, this is the product for you!
Things to remember:
Paul Balcerak shares these few tips for making things a bit easier in the transition of your home phone to your iPhone.
1. DOWNLOAD ONE OF THE BATTERY LIFE APPS. I’ve heard that the standard “percentage” indicator on the 3GS and later models can sometimes be thrown out of whack—a battery app like BatteryTime can give you a second opinion on how much battery life you have left.
2. BUY MULTIPLE CHARGERS. I’ve got a charger for home, work and my car so that I’ve always got a charger somewhere and I never have to worry about forgetting/losing it. If I were in a larger home, I might even have multiple chargers around the house (Bose speaker system, wall charger upstairs, wall charger downstairs, etc.).
John of MobileCardCast.com provides a few more great tips:
3. Check your phone once in a while just in case it locks up, and set low battery alerts (mine are at 20 and 10%). If your battery ever gets lower than 50% or so, charge it. Worse thing that can happen is your ready to go out on a Saturday night and you realize you don’t have enough battery for the night.
4. Keep a few headsets around – the wired ones. No use worrying about yet another thing to charge, a Bluetooth headset. Those are good for driving or for on the road, but for home the old reliable wired headset will do. Plus Bluetooth drains your battery.
David of Mobile Strategy Partners says “I use my iPhone as my primary business line and have gone to great lengths to get my iPhone to work better including installing a repeater to boost the signal and installing the AT&T Microcell femtocell product. I also improved my signal using the iPhone 4 case.”
As you can see there are numerous ways to use your iPhone as your home phone, just try them all and see which suits your lifestyle best. It’s worth the time to try them out if you can save some money and have one less bill to pay.
