The third beta edition of the next iPhone OS’s SDK was released late on Tuesday, then removed shortly afterwards.  As most will know, iPhone OS 3.2 is the system which the forthcoming iPad will have installed, making it of particular interest, so it’s a good thing some keen developers downloaded the SDK before it disappeared. Since

A week ago today we saw some screenshots from the forthcoming iPhone version of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV and although they looked faithful enough to the arcade and console versions, the control system was a question mark and there was no word when it would actually be released. Today though, the lucky folk at gamepro.com got

The iPhone has been considered a fashionable phone ever since it was launched.  Its sleek looks, combined with the always-cool Apple logo, have made it a popular choice with the tech-savvy fashionista.  Now, Dolce & Gabbana plan to make good use of the iPhone being in the hands of their desired customer base, by broadcasting

Roe Mobile Development’s (RMD) updated version of Smart Recorder features added functionality designed to meet business and personal users’ voice recording needs. Smart Recorder can be used for recording business meetings, lectures, audio “To-Do Lists”, podcasts, or emails with personalized audio attachments. “Unlike other recorder application offerings, Smart Recorder permits saving the recording in a variety of audio compression formats, enabling the user to choose the appropriate quality and file size for the intended use of the recording,”  remarks Ken Roe, CEO of  RMD. “An hour long recording can result in a file size of up to 30 MB, prohibitive for fast email transfers. With Smart Recorder , the file size can be reduced to as little as 6 MB. When audio quality is the primary concern, saving the file at a lower compression rate allows for high quality recordings, making Smart Recorder an ideal application for business and media.” The Smart Recorder robust feature set includes: Time-based tags allow direct access to important portions of a recording.  Tapping the “Add Tag” button during recording to sets a tag at that time position.  Tapping the tag during playback jumps to the position of the tag. Direct access to the iPhone camera allows taking photographs while recording to associate visuals with the recording.  The photographs are time-stamped to their position in the recording. Auto Pause suspends recording when there is no sound.  Recording starts again when talking resumes, eliminating long pauses – perfect for conference room meetings. Multi-speed playback allows quick skimming or careful listening to critical portions of a recording. Forward and Back buttons skip or repeat a user selectable number of seconds in the recording. Slider allows you to quickly navigate to any part of a long recording. Direct access to a recording time position starts playback at that point in the recording. Export permits setting a suitable file format and compression rate for saving and distribution. Smart Recorder provides several methods to transfer sessions back to your computer or share with others: WiFi sync.  Your iPhone becomes an HTTP server and you simply point your web browser to the address given by your phone and save the recordings (and page with your tags) using the browser. SyncDocs.  Downloading and installing SyncDocs enables the ability to save files related to your session. Box.net.   Upload recordings for remote storage and sharing.  The free Box.net account allows uploads of up to 25 MB per file and a total of 1 GB of online storage.  For new Box.net users, Smart Recorder sets up a new account seamlessly. Email directly using the built-in iPhone MAIL application without leaving Smart Recorder . Smart Recorder features a rich set of user-definable settings to suit every individual: Set the number of seconds the Forward and Back buttons move within the recording. Select a sampling (compression) rate anywhere between 8000-44,100Hz.   A lower rate saves disk space while a higher rate gives better audio quality. Adjust the noise (or quietness) threshold at which auto pause activates. Enable one channel (mono) or two channel (stereo, with a suitable microphone) recording for basic or richer recordings.

For fans of casual shooter games and displaced carnies who enjoy clowning around, Knife Toss by Crawlspace Games and Elevate Entertainment could hit the mark as the next game in your iPhone or iPod touch arsenal to combat boredom. Knife Toss is a target shooting game that features a clown strapped to a spinning wheel and balloons as the target. With tilt-to-aim and tap-to-throw controls, this game is about as casual as a pick up and play game can be. Knife Toss features three different difficulty levels, which not only step up the challenge, but also unlock new weapons to move players from knife tossing to axe throwing. Pity the clown, because as the levels advance the wheel spins a bit faster. If you’re quick enough and paying attention, there are bonus targets that will temporarily slow the wheel, stop the wheel all together, or at least double your points. If you truly like the spinning clown, be wary of the rabbit target, which speeds things up a bit.(…) Read the rest of Knife Toss Proves to be a “Sharp” Target Shooting Game © AppCraver , 2010. | Knife Toss Proves to be a “Sharp” Target Shooting Game | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

If you’re big on Twitter and following tweets and ever thought, “Wow, it would be so cool if I could hear tweets instead of reading them,” then check out Talking Tweet for iPhone. This app is designed as a Twitter client that vocalizes new tweets using speech synthesis, which is supposed to result in a natural sounding voice and translate text in foreign languages to English. Talking Tweet is going head to head with Tweet Talk as a free Twitter Client set on enhancing users’ Twitter experience. While I suppose there is some general appeal to the idea of talking tweets, it holds none for me. That said, Talking Tweet does indeed vocalize new tweets from friends you follow or public tweets, depending on which you choose. One thing about Talking Tweet that may doom it from the start is the obvious lack of user interface. For instance, if you launch the app and begin playing public tweets, but then want to switch to friends, you have to close it and launch it again. (…) Read the rest of Talking Tweet – A Twitter Client That Talks © AppCraver , 2010. | Talking Tweet – A Twitter Client That Talks | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

It’s that time again, when two new iPhone 3GS TV ads appear!  Played during the Winter Olympics coverage last night, these are not further entries into the ‘There’s an app for that’ canon, but standalone spots showing versatility. The first has been named On Hold, and is the more interesting of the two, for it appears

Apple’s recent decision to remove all apps from the App Store which they deemed to contain ‘overtly sexual content’ seems to have been made with the best intentions, but it appears to have been implemented in a rather blanket fashion, certainly from Simply Beach’s point of view. Simply Beach is a family-run UK beachwear retailer, who

When the iPad was announced on the 27th January, the word was that it would be shipping 60 days after, however there was no clue as to when eager fans would be able to pre-order the device to ensure they were among the first to play with Apple’s tablet. Now though, the team at appadvice.com are

Apple may be dropping the banhammer on sexually-themed iPhone apps that were previously deemed acceptable for the iTunes App Store. According to an email sent to TechCrunch from an iPhone developer, Apple has taken steps “to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store.” Apps like Wobble iBoobs, Sexy Women, and Exotic Positions are on
