By Mel Martin Filed under: iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App Review This is the International Year of Astronomy, so it's a great time to get outdoors and look up. It's fun to do, and the iPhone apps really make it a more compelling and educational experience.

There are flight simulators designed to develop proficiency, but this isn't one of them. It's basically a simul-game for iPhone and iPod touch that allows one to fly over various terrains with accompanying music. It's an ethereal experience, good for calming the nerves or an occasional d...

By Victor Agreda, Jr. The enthusiastic developers of Parranda were at WWDC to show off their app, a simple one-man-band party in your hand. Parranda (iTunes link) has a lot of polish, too, with instruments that aren't just one big button, like some "soundboard" music apps. The cowbell, for example, allows you t...

By Mel Martin Filed under: iPhone, iPod touch But not the right place, and that's the problem. Apple support boards are seeing increasing message traffic about icons that vanish, or attach themselves to the wrong app. This seems a problem with iPhone 3.0. Older versions seem unaffected.

By Mel Martin Filed under: iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App Review The app allows you to browse by category, channels, or by favorites you provide. There is a shopping cart if you want to tag something for purchase at the iTunes store. (Ah, that's why Apple liked this app.)

By Dave Caolo This time I went nearly paper-free (I'm sticking with paper boarding passes for international flights, although iPhone scanning has been done and is now officially supported by some carriers), thanks to my iPhone and 2 applications. Here's how I did it.

By Michael Kwan Although the marketing materials and packaging very clearly push the PowerDuo Reserve toward the iPhone-touting demographic, these products will work with other devices as well. The USB-charging end can be used for any USB-powered device, like a variety of smartphones and certain ca...

By Mel Martin The AP News [App Store] iPhone/iPod touch app that rolled out ugly earlier in the week has updated to version 2.01 and fixed that nasty problem that wouldn't let you run the app reliably if you had the previous AP Mobile app already on your phone.

By Mel Martin In summary, it doesn't look like the perfect shopping app is here, but hopefully developers will keep trying.

By Peter Ha Each of the 20 cars handles about the same. Of course, there’s only so much you can do with an accelerometer-based platform, so don’t expect Gran Turismo-like controls. Controls are simple and that’s a testament to how well EA built this game. To steer left or right, you need only tilt your iPh...

By Mel Martin Filed under: iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App Review The very popular Simplify Music [App Store link] iPhone/iPod touch app has now given users the option as to whether or not they want to see the 'demo' library. Check your app updates in iTunes to get the new version, which is 2.02.

By Mel Martin A couple of notes: First, I didn't know contacts even supported birthdays. You can add them on the iPhone or in the Mac app by selecting Add Field>Birthday. There are some other goodies in there too, like 'maiden name,' but that's a subject for another post.

By Adrian Covert For the utmost in convenience, an iPod docked in the PSX-2 can sync to any PC or Mac on the home network, so you can always keep the iPod stocked with your latest iTunes downloads and photos. The PSX-2 also continuously charges the iPod, so it's ready to go when you are.

By Jason Chen So where's this all headed? If Apple wasn't so absolutely married to the fact that physical controls need to be in a trademark click-wheel shape, they could have easily spread out the five play/next/prev/vol. up/vol. down buttons along the smooth face of the shuffle. But they didn't.

By rss@youtube.com (BloodyClaymore) Here's a speed test between the 1st generation iPod Touch vs the 2nd generation iPod Touch. This is here to help you decided whether you want to upgrade or not.

By jeremy@ilounge.com (Jeremy Horwitz) Well, sort of. Scosche and Griffin have both released $30 accessories that may be able to help some users: Scosche’s PassPort and Griffin’s Charge Converter (aka Firewire to USB Converter) are both chunks of plastic with a female Dock Connector port on one end and a male plug on the other.

By John Mahoney But things would be a lot better if the game wasn't constantly, constantly glitching up. Whenever you graduate to a new size level of Katamari, the framerate drops heavily to the point where you can barely tell what's going on. That, there, will very likely be a dealbreaker for a lot of folks o...

By Adam Pash When the iPhone and iPod touch 2.0 software update hit devices this summer, users were thrilled that they could enjoy Apple-approved third-party apps on their hardware—but that doesn't mean they don't want to have their cake and eat it, too. Our guide to jailbreaking your iPhone running 2....

By Adrian Covert As far as remote capabilities go, I tested the Apple In-ear headphones with an iPhone 3G and a first gen iPod touch (neither of which are officially supported. As Apple claims, the audio works fine with both devices. Neither the remote or the mic work with the iPod touch 1G at all, merely reduc...

By John Gruber If you read my iPhone 3G review, you know that my biggest complaint was with regard to battery life. The problem isn’t that the iPhone’s battery life is poor compared to other similarly-featured phones. The problem is that the iPhone pushes the limits of modern battery technology — what mak...

By Andy J. S. Some of you might also have noticed the first version of this app, when it first came out it's called PhoneSaber. But soon after its first release, PhoneSaber dissappear from App Store. The mystery quickly resolved, after the official Star Wars the Force Unleashed game for iPhone/iPod Tou...

By Jason Chen Despite looking forward to the iPod touch/iPhone integration of the Nike+ running dongle for over a year now, we can't help but feel slightly disappointed at the way this app is executed on the latest iPod touch. The Nike+ iPod software itself looks great—the red and white UI design matche...

By Adrian Covert All in all, iPod touch Version 2 doesn't do anything worse than the previous iPod, and it does a few things better. Current iPod touch owners probably won't find enough new here to make the switch (truth be told, this is more like iPod touch v1.5). But those previously on the fence about whether...

By Jason Chen Apple's decision to transition from the fat third-generation iPod nano to the new svelte fourth-generation iPod nano must have been an easy one. The latest version has the same size screen, the same 8 and 16GB storage and the same video support as before, but adds a much more comfortable (s...

By Jason Chen This generation comes in nine colors, which include pink, purple, black and silver, but no white. It's also the first nano to use solely USB charging, so old Firewire chargers are rendered useless. If you're into Apple and looking for a midrange media player, you should have no hesitations...

By Adam Pash Enable AirTunes in iTunes The next to last thing you need to do is open up the iTunes preferences and tell your computer to look for remote speakers with iTunes. You'll find this checkbox in the Advanced tab of the iTunes preferences. Finally, it's time to set up our iPhone or iPod touch as remo...

By Kevin Purdy At the moment, there are about 1020 App Store applications for the iPhone, and roughly 970 of them, or 95 percent, work with the iPod touch. Developers, obviously, don't consider speech and speaker functions crucial to good software, nor always-on net connections.

By sam mcloughln Finally as you would expect, the 9-in-1 iPhone / iPod Touch FM Transmitter also charges your iPhone too, great if your on long journeys because not only do you get to listen to your great music but also it charges the device at the same time.

By Cory Bohon User Interface Both Pandora and AOL Radio follow a similar user interface design: they both look like the iPod feature on iPhone/iPod touch. Both of the interfaces are nice, however, I have the same gripes for both. The volume controllers in both seem to be independent of the iPhone's volum...

By Doug Aamoth Setup was a breeze, and the included dock breathed new life into my iPod Touch. The dock charges the iPod and hooks up to your computer via USB so you can sync your music and videos when its connected — a nice touch. The speakers themselves look really nice, too, with a slick, shiny piano black fi...

By Adrian Covert Zune 2.0 Is a Quality Product: Pound for Pound, I'd say the Zune80 is a better product than the iPod Classic. It has a better UI, more features (hardware and software), a better platform and control mechanism for gaming, and a decent enough design. While many companies in the past have put out g...

By Adrian Covert Devices And Platforms Should Never Be Exclusive: The iPod never really took off until it began supporting Windows with it's 2G iteration. Of course, Apple had more to gain from opening up to a much, much larger Windows user base, but it never hurts to make a product more widely available to t...

By Adrian Covert The iPod function works about as well as you could expect; the menu system is semi-complicated to learn, but functions efficiently with the external button interface, and the window in the dock face makes the screen clearly visible. The i931 is compatible with any iPod up though the 5.5g mo...

By Adam Pash 2.) iPhone headphones with mics don't work with the iPod touch, so if you're using an iPod touch you'll need a Touchmod mic. The Touchmod mics come in a variety of flavors, from the simple dongle that plugs into the syncing port to the headphone-and-mic combo that works much like the iPhone he...

By Michael R. Martin I have been researching FM transmitters for awhile and settled on a Belkin TuneBase FM. My main selection criterion was that it has a flexible gooseneck, so I could angle the iPod towards the driver's seat and easily watch video podcasts (WHILE parked, of course!). I recently picked one up f...

By Wilson Rothman Over the weekend, I put the ballyhooed Griffin Evolve through the paces. As you know, this system has wireless speakers with their own rechargeable batteries. When they sit on the dock, they charge, but when you want them in the dining room or out on the deck, you just grab them—and the RF remo...

The Dock Extender is a very simple product: less than an inch tall, the top provides a male dock-connector plug and the bottom hosts a female dock-connector port. You plug the top of the Extender into the dock-connector port on the bottom of your iPod -- the Extender is thin enough to fit near...

Apple's second-generation (2G) iPod shuffle has been a big hit, because of both its tiny but functional design and its relatively low price. But perhaps the biggest drawback of the 2G shuffle is that, like its first-generation predecessor, the lack of Apple's dock-connector port means...

Once connected, CableJive claims the Extender Cable provides most of the features provided by Apple's dock-connector interface: audio, iPod control (for example, via an iPod speaker system's remote), charging, accessory-power output (for those dock-connector accessories, suc...

The radio works fairly well; reception is not exceptional, but is on par with some other clock radios I've tested. There are 10 station presets for each band (20 total), which can be set automatically or programmed manually. The unit can play audio from any dockable iPod, and includes with a...
