Create and Listen To Playlists on the Go with Listenial

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Listenial is a music app for iPhone and iPod Touch that links to the music stored in the default iPod application to allow you to create playlists on the go. As a music player, it’s effective and as a playlist creator, it’s equally effective. While the UI isn’t totally sexy, it’s simple enough to use and has a few features that are kinda user friendly. If you really don’t like building playlists within iTunes, but every song you own is synced to or stored on your device, then Listenial can help you build lists right here, right now, with a fair amount of ease. Plus, it’s a bit jazzier in appearance than the iPod default music player. To create a playlist with Listenial, simply launch the app, scroll the screen over to the playlists menu and tap “create playlist.” Name your list and then the app takes you to your music library. Scroll through and select the songs you want to add. It’s really quite simple.

SAS Survival Guide App Repackaged for a new Generation

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

SAS Survival Guide – HarperCollins Publishers has teamed up with Trellisys.net to bring you an iPhone app of…a book. Granted, it’s a classic, the distillation of the survival knowledge of 26-year Special Air Services veteran John “Lofty” Wiseman. The entire SAS Survival Guide is here, covering Sea Coast, Desert Tropics, Polar environments, and even Urban disasters. You’ll find everything within the various chapters from how to make good guesses at weather by cloud formations, to how to navigate by the sun and the stars, to what amount of metal, brick, or wood will shield you from radiation. Chapters include First Aid, Hunting (yes, that means fishing and trapping too), Wild Food, and Camp. Essentials covers the materials you’ll want in your kit to prepare for the big adventure. The SAS Survival Guide app also has some juicy extras not in the book, like a Morse code signaling device, a sun compass, and an interactive quiz. There’s also plenty of video of Lofty explaining how to make fire, build shelter, catch food, and generally get by in places you have no business being.

New Free iPhone Insurance App Storms the Charts

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

London, UK March 17, 2010—iPhone Insurance Apps today announced the release of Insure Me, the new free iPhone app that helps you save money on your iPhone insurance. Currently working across the 4 main iPhone operating countries USA, UK, Australia and Canada this simple yet effective iPhone app asks you 3 questions then helps you get a hidden discount code. Lead Developer Samuel Liebz said “It has taken us a long time to research and source really good, solid iPhone insurance companies with sound policies that will cost-effectively protect your iPhone – and to then make it even better by arranging special discounts to make the iPhone insurance cheaper.  So we are really pleased and proud to be releasing this to help people save money with their iPhone insurance.” Available in the Apple iTunes and App Store under the name Insure Me, the app asks you 3 relevant questions then shows you the right discount for you.  These discounts are not normally available anywhere else on the internet so this iPhone app is proving helpful in saving users money. Liebz added “Specific iPhone insurance has been either hard to find or expensive, because the iPhone is a valuable, expensive item (£550 to replace in the UK and $600 in the USA) and because of fraudulent claiming – hence the higher insurance premiums.  So we wanted to help people find a way to reduce the cost of their iPhone insurance while getting good effective cover protection at the same time.” To learn more about this about this Insure Me app search the App Store for “Insure Me” or visit www.iPhoneInsuranceApp.com
