iPhone/iPod Touch Thread

[wanye]

ok, pwnplayer b5 and mewseek (a slsk client) have now been released via cydia. you may need to add a repository or two, i cant remember which one it lives in. but both are ace. i'm just downloading some real oldskool tunes (a five stairsteps album and some other long forgotten cool stuff)

pwnplayer beta5 fixes quite a few major issues and so far is working really well

go grab them and have a play!

Mewseek doesn't seem to work for me, i log in and connect - try downloading a tune and it comes up with 'Error Opening File' or something, this is when i check on its progress on the 'transfers' tab.

[wanye]

is it every tune, or just ones from a specific user or too? could be that you just cant connect to some users. i've personally had no problems so far....

Google Earth appeared on the App Store over the weekend. There is no possible way this program should work as well as it does on a sodding mobile phone but it's really rather impressive. Someone's put a lot of time into this.

Has anyone had problems with component TV out on their Ipod touch going into a Sony Bravia LCD?

I get the Luminance but the colour is shite - I get rolling red and green bars going down the screen. I don't know which side has the problem, the ipod or the TV as I've not got anything that can produce a component input here untill I bring my 360 over from the UK.

I've struggled to find anything on google that matches the fault.

I have tried setting the Video mode in the ipod from PAL to NTSC just incase but there is no difference in output.

Hmmm....sounds like a sync issue. Different kit likes/needs sync on just the luminance or sometimes composite or even seperate H and V sync signals. How many connectors does your Bravia have on the back for the component input?

From memory (Im at work at the moment), it has just one set of connectors for Component YUY.

I'm not sure if the Ipod outputs YUV or RGB. I'd expect I'd see nothing if it was the opposite. I've had a good look through the menu's on the TV and haven't found anything obvious to play with to get it to work.

I can't remember which thread it was in (can't find it in here) but I mentioned a really good car fuel consumption tracking app that was remoed from the store for a while due to some problems with it. The author's fixed the bugs and it's back again for 59p! Search for 'Fuelgauge' on the App Store, it's a great little program.

Oh, and another thing:

I just installed PDANet to have a play around with as it's got rather good reviews. It's a great little data tethering app the seems to autoconfigure the laptop using UPnP (at a guess) and is very slick indeed. It acts as a full blown IP router (rather than just the SOCKS proxy that a lot of similar apps offer) and is fast and very easy to configure.

Ive' just gotten my first app on to the App Store, a port of an old piece of mine called For All Seasons, released in 2005 for the PC and Mac.

It's a free download from the App Store, the link below should take you there, otherwise searching for "for all seasons" on itunes also does the trick.

Only took about a day and a half to get through the review process, but I assume that is because it is not trying to do anything potentially dangerous (access the internet, etc).

Had Galcon for a while but always had the feeling that it's missing something. Nice idea, nicely implemented but a bit shallow, or maybe I'm missing something...

There's a free version now, so you can try before you buy.

Oh, I remember that. Lovely, lovely piece of work, made me smile.

Hadn't realised there was so much 3D stuff out there.

I'm tempted to blow £2.49 on this slightly Elite inspired shooter. All the reviews are good for it (Zone Warrior):



And this Wipeoutish racer might be quite nice...
