Fifteen years ago the concept of watching television when not in the home seem farfetched at best.  To put it quite frankly, why would you want to watch television outside of the home to begin with?  This is why technology has transformed the way that we live our daily lives.  The question is whether that has actually been for the better or not, but that is water under the bridge at this point.

So what if you had the ability to not only view your favorite television broadcasts on the road, but from your iOS device of choice as well.  With the aid of the Monsoon Multimedia Vulkano you can now live this dream to its fullest.  Not only can you live stream the content though, because now you can also use your device as a portable DVR as well!  Here are the full list of new features:

• Direct to mobile recording supports iPhone and iPad now
• iPhone/iPad recording in mp4 formats containing H264+AAC
• Android recording in mp4 formats containing H264+AAC
• BlackBerry recording in ASF formats containing WMV3 and WMA
• iPhone/iPad recording in D1 or 640×480 or 352×240 resolutions
• Android recording in D1 or 640×480 or 352×240 resolutions
• Insufficient memory alert

You can check out the Vulkano’s website for full details, but know that their lowest price device, the Vulkano Flow retails for a mere $99.

While part of me wonders if there is any market for a product like this, I look over my full Tivo DVR and realize that yes, I too should be all over this handy little piece of technology.  Just remember that if find yourself losing countless more hours of your life burning through your phone’s battery and taking extended bathroom breaks in your office, it wasn’t our idea.  With amazing pieces of technology, comes great responsibility.

Ionocraft Racing Review

iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Ionocraft Racing is a genuinely thrilling and addictive racer, even if it can feel a little empty.

 

Developer: PAN Vision
Price: $1.99
Version: 1.0
App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS
Graphics / Sound Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
User Interface Rating: 4.75 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars
Re-use / Replay Value Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Overall Rating: 4.38 out of 5 stars

My initial thoughts upon looking at screen shots for Ionocraft Racing: “This looks kind of bland.”

My initial thoughts upon actually playing Ionocraft Racing: “Woah.”

Ionocraft Racing is, obviously, a racing game. A racing game set in a steampunk world with no story to gum up the works and no overly complicated rules to learn. It’s just the driver, their steam-powered ionocraft and thirteen tracks to master. It’s simple to jump right in and start earning cash for races by pressing the Quick button, but the real meat is in the Career mode which is pretty much the same thing only it allows track selection and ionocraft customization.

I’m admittedly not a huge racing fan, but I’ve played around with enough of the store’s offerings to know that the controls can easily kill a game’s chances. PAN Vision knows this as well, and has included three separate options (digital, tilt and analog) to cater to virtually any player’s style. Personally I prefer the analog slider as the tilt controls felt too sensitive and the digital ones involved too much light tapping.

Speaking of configurations (segue!), they can also have a huge influence on a player’s chances for success. As tracks are completed and medals are earned, new parts become available for purchase using money earned from racing. However, it’s not as simple as buying a few new bits and pressing Equip. Each component has to be placed carefully (via sliding) as placement can and will drastically affect an ionocraft’s performance. Putting all those turning gizmos in the back might look cool, but it might also make the thing turn like a bus with four flats. And a broken axle. In sand.

As fun and addicting as it might be to constantly strive for a better time (getting my first gold medal was surprisingly elating), it’s unfortunate that the tracks are completely devoid of any other vehicles. No other crafts to race against, no rivals to shove into a wall and not even player ghosts to compete with. It’s just the one ionocraft and the race timer. But even with no other racers present I’ve noticed some significant slowdown and choppiness, mostly on the large tracks. Granted, these things are moving in excess of a couple hundred miles per hour (virtually), but the stuttering can sometimes lead to grinding against a wall or flat-out crashing which can drastically affect one’s earnings.

I’m hoping that an update or two will take care of the slowdown, and I’ll always dream of at least being able to race against ghosts, but even if Ionocraft Racing never goes beyond version 1.0 it’s still a fantastically fun time. Chasing down medals will keep players busy for a while, but I imagine the constant competition for each track’s World Record will keep them occupied for even longer. Then again, maybe I’m just a sucker for the little details like the distribution of parts affecting the ionocraft’s handling or the way little jets of steam shoot out of the turning doohickeys.

GreatCall make a cell phone called the Jitterbug, which is designed to be a basic and easy-to-use phone for people who don’t need all the advanced features that modern smartphones have. However, for people that do have those modern smartphones with all those advanced features, GreatCall have released an app called MedCoach which is designed to help keep track of medications for users in need of an app to keep track of this aspect of their lives on a deice that is always with them.

MedCoach allows users to log the medications they take, set up the times and intervals when they’re supposed to take them, and get notifications for when it is time to take their medication, no matter what type it is, from pills to injections and more. Users will get push notifications, and the badge of the MedCoach icon will update when it is time to take a medication. When the app is launched, users can view their reminders to take medication, log when they took the medication, with the ability to list reasons if they skipped taking it. It’s possible to view a medication’s information with the ability to view a medication’s facts and possible side effects. It’s possible to edit and modify the list of medication and times to take them, as well.

The app offers easy access to the latest notifications from the bottom of the app on most screens. There’s a central MedCoach hub that offers quick access to the app’s features, with the ability to view refill information, doctor & pharmacist information, medication history, as well as MedCoach account info. The app offers the ability to get help on any page by simply shaking the device. The app is available as a free download for iPhone and iPod touch from the App Store. It requires registration at the initial app launch, but this is free and anonymous, only requiring an email and password to be registered.

Blackberry Applications : Yahoo! Messenger One v0.22.14 (Beta)

Thank you for using rssforward.com! This service has been made possible by all our customers. In order to provide a sustainable, best of the breed RSS to Email experience, we've chosen to keep this as a paid subscription service.

Yahoo! Messenger One BETA v0.22.14


Get social over the long-established, well-rounded chat and VoIP client Yahoo Messenger and you'll find drag-and-drop capabilities and contact importing from friends other IM, e-mail, and social-networking accounts who are also on Yahoo chat. Another favorite trick is the ability to see images and videos displayed inside the chat window when you or a pal drops in a public URL.
Yahoo Messenger 10 adds some visual enhancements that call out VoIP and video chats on the conversation window. Tweaks in the buddy list showcase an updates tab that operates as a newsfeed for friends' status messages. Other visual refreshes to version 10 spruce up select icons.
Users should note that the download stub will finish installing the program online, and that the download bundles the Yahoo Toolbar. In the preinstallation window, click over to Custom Install to deselect add-ons you don't want. We could also live without the heavy-handed Yahoo branding, and it would be nice to see a link to hidden smileys in the emoticon drop-down, but these are minor niggles when weighed against the benefits of an easy-to-use, feature-rich chat client that only continues to improve.
