CNN today announced the availability of its CNN App on the App Store. The CNN iPhone App is purpose-built and designed to provide a visually-driven news experience for iPhone and iPod touch users who demand accessibility and convenience. “CNN’s new app for iPhone and iPod touch simplifies and amplifies news consumption, empowering users to get the news and information they need and want, anytime, anywhere,”said KC Estenson, general manager and SVP of CNN.com. “Simply put, the new CNN App puts the power of the world’s news leader right in the palm your hand.” Maximizing the revolutionary features of iPhone OS 3.1, the new CNN App showcases news of the day through text, video and photos. It also features live breaking news video, push notification, localization and personalization tools, user-generated content capture and upload functionality through iReport, and more. “The CNN App has what we think is one of the best user experiences around, and will quickly become an essential daily news source for many iPhone and iPod touch users,”said Louis Gump, vice president of CNN Mobile. “We tailored the best of CNN specifically for them, whether they check in from the beach, the airport or the ballpark.” CNN App Features include: • iReport: For the first time on a mobile device, the CNN App provides a direct gateway to iReport.com, allowing users to browse user-generated content; register, sign-in to their account or sign on as a guest to capture and instantly upload user-generated photos and videos (with the iPhone 3GS). Users also can browse iReport.com’s latest “assignments,” asking the community to weigh in on local and national news stories. • Personalization: “My CNN” • Video: The CNN App is available in the U.S. for $1.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. **Warning: As a courtesy to our readers we would like to note that even though this app is paid there are reportedly a large number of advertisements embedded into the application. Take a look at the App Store reviews for more information.
Developer Loren Brichter has announced a completely rebuilt version of Tweetie which adds many new features. We’ve posted his description of the new app below. You can hit the link at the bottom to read more about the creation of the app. —– It contains a metric ton of new stuff. There is full persistence – not just caching tweets for offline reading, but remembering where you are in the app. You could be viewing a conversation of a tweet of a recent mention of one of your followers, quit the app (or get a phone call), and when you come back, the entire UI stack is restored. Speaking of offline reading, there is also a fantastic offline mode. You can favorite, follow, block, add to Instapaper and more all while offline. Next time you connect, all of those actions will be synced back up. There’s a drafts manager, you can even use it to compose tweets and DMs while you’re on the subway, and blast them out simultaneously as soon as you get out. (And if you’re a fan of Birdhouse, you can now send drafts to it from Tweetie). You can link up Twitter users to contacts in your iPhone Address Book. Forget just adding notes, you can link up with email addresses, phone numbers, and more – and even better, all of that linkage information is backed up when you sync your phone. Threaded conversations are there, just like the Mac version, as are nice tab bar notifications so you can see at a glance if you have new items. “Nearby” has been revamped to take advantage of MapKit (it’s even cooler than you can imagine), and Tweetie 2 already supports the new geotagging metadata coming soon from Twitter. Saved searches now sync with Twitter.com and the upcoming Tweetie 2 for Mac. There is deep, native integration with other services, including Favstar.fm, Tweet Blocker, and Follow cost. The compose screen design has been completely overhauled, with a @people picker, recent hashtags, multiple attachments manager, and a “peek” gesture when replying to a tweet. Plus: full landscape support (configurable, of course), edit your Twitter profile, custom API roots on a per-account basis, vastly improved gesture shortcuts, in-app rich-text email, new-style retweet support, refresh-all on launch, TextExpander, Read it Later integration (in addition to Instapaper), autocomplete recent searches, autocomplete go-to-user, improved avatar caching, inline Twitlonger, reply chain list view, preview short urls, tweet translation, block+follow from multiple accounts at once, and that’s just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. And here’s the beauty of this: just as Tweetie 1 proved that you didn’t have to sacrifice usability for functionality, Tweetie 2 proves it again. Every single one of these features fits naturally into the user interface, none adds unnecessary complexity. It’s arguably even simpler than Tweetie 1, all while being vastly more powerful. Tweetie 2 for Mac will be a completely free upgrade. Tweetie 2 for iPhone will be a whole new app and though its much more powerful will be priced the same as the original app: $2.99.

Here are my predictions for the future iPod Touch. I think that it will have a camera, possibly a larger screen, it will be a little faster, different look (maybe), and 128GB. Please comment telling me what you think the future iPod Touch will be like.
Okay I have been extremely slack with this blog as I haven’t posted anything in daaaayss! But it is Freshers week, which means partying as well as trying to prepare myself for my insane second year at Uni. I have got good news though, I weighed myself today – a day early yes, I couldn’t wait any longer. And I lost 3 POUNDS!!!!! I was so unbelievably happy with this result! Especially as I’ve done absolutely no exercise this week. Well in saying that I’ve worked 4 days out of 7 this week so maybe all the extra running about at work has helped me shed those 3 lbs. I just can’t wait to get back to the gym and start burning off even more of this unwanted weight. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick at it! Probably a good idea to make a running playlist for my Ipod asap!
The default browser on the iPhone and iPod is Safari which is a built in application. As it currently stands inbuilt applications on Apple’s hand held device operating system doesn’t give much to developers who would like to be able to add extra functionality (at least not without jail breaking). The option to send page content to from Safari is something I had hoped would be easily available, but found myself having to manually copy content from Safari to EverNote. After a little investigation I discovered that it is possible to add an EverNote bookmarklet into Safari’s bookmarks, making things a little easier. The downside is that this bookmarklet only works for adding the whole page and not just a portion of the page (as it does in browsers on more fully fledged computer platforms). If you want a page fragment, copy and paste is still the only option. So here’s the 10 simple steps to add your EverNote bookmarklet…
When you want to add a page to EverNote, just select this newly created bookmark. An in place window will appear which will then allow you to login to your EverNote account. Once logged in (and you can set it to remember your details), you can then add the page directly into an EverNote notebook, tag the page, etc. Please note that the bookmarklet content above was created by EverNote and not by me. I’m displaying it here as plain text as it was the only way I found to be able to get it into Safari on my iPod. If EverNote update their system, the bookmarklet presented here may no longer work. If this does occur try taking a look at the (new) original EverNote bookmarklet URL (available from ) in your desktop browser.
Chatty kids are funny, cute and entertaining… until you have one and want some silence. Just for two five minutes, I’d love for my daughter to be so engrossed in something, anything that she’d be quiet. Sometimes, when I manage to get the remote and watch a show with adults on it, I still have no idea what’s going on because I’m being asked: “Who is that?” “Why is that lady crying?” “Is this a funny show or a scary show?” I’m actually glad my daughter is so engaging and engaged, to be honest. She’s smart, listens well and is very keen about spelling, reading and learning how to pronounce new words…and she’s not even in school yet. Before she was born, I read and heard that eye contact, facial expressions and other types of communication makes for a better speaker early on, so it was what I enforced.
Check out this article from the that says in this day of digital communication, iPod’s and PDF’s, parents are spending much more time engaged in virtual chat than face-to-face feedback with their little ones. Now if I could just get those five minutes… Do you take the time to sit and talk with your kids with no distractions? —-Stay Juicy!

Het zal de meeste mensen een volstrekte worst zijn. Nou maakt dat niet veel uit, want hoeveel mensen lezen deze blog nou echt. Maar voor die twee personen die wellicht belangstelling hebben voor , hieronder een lijstje van platen die ik op dit moment op mijn heb staan. Weet je gelijk op welke muziek ik me in het zweet sta te werken tijdens het sporten. Zowaar wel een aardige doorsnee wat ik graag luister, zowel oude als nieuwe shit. Zo da’s mooi. Ik denk stiekum al aan van die mooie eindejaarslijstjes, en welke platen dan daar op moeten komen te staan. Nog een paar maanden bedenktijd gelukkig.
