iPod

Dit is één van die leerprogramma's/uiteinden dat een vrij hoog percentage u gaat zeggen „uh ik voorstelde dat de eerste dag ik uit mijn iPodAanraking“ had. Goed had ik mijn ongeveer 2 maanden alvorens ik dit, volledig per toeval ontdekte.

Terwijl u aan muziek luistert, maar hebben een andere open toepassing (als bijvoorbeeld Safari) - als u de bodemknoop tweemaal klikt, zal een reeks controles (het Vorige Spoor, het Spel/de Pauze, Volgende Spoor, Volume en gaan naar Muziek) verschijnen. U kunt hen gebruiken en dan op Safari terugkomen zonder ooit het moeten het weggaan.

Deze truc werkt zelfs wanneer uw iPodAanraking „wordt gesloten“. Klik enkel de bodemknoop tweemaal, en u kunt uw momenteel speelmuziek (hoewel slechts Vorig Spoor, Spel/Pauze, Volgende Spoor en Volume) controleren.

Eerst werd het genoemd vlc4iphone, nu heeft het ZodPlay geroepen, en op wat punt in de niet te verre toekomst zal het nogmaals genoemd worden vlc4phone (de noemende geschiedenisdetails kunnen hier worden gevonden). Ongeacht zijn naam, kan het .ogg en.flac- dossiers spelen - iets wat een aantal ons tegen hoop heeft gehoopt zou één of andere dag gebeuren. [klik om verder te gaan…]

Update: this is actually a rather ‘large’ update - may more decoders are now supported, including XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2, AVI, and more! In addition, volume control was added, and the warning when no media is found was fixed. Updated screenshots soon.

Thanks to the geniuses over at zodttd.com, the VLC media player will be coming to your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch in the near future. Keep reading for more info and some preview screenshots.

vlc4iphone is in beta, which means the usual caveats apply (limited functionality and not above crashing). Currently, it plays mpeg/mpg, avi and mp3 files. And by avi they do not mean divx or xvid, though both are being researched as an added format (along with flac, ogg, vcd, wma and wmv).

Right now, vlc4iphone is only available to ZodTTD.com Beta Testers, though as more decoders get implemented and some bugs fixed up, a public release will be made.

Alright I admit it, I’ve drank the Twitter kool-aid. For a while I was in the “I don’t care what you’re doing right now” camp, but have since discovered that it really is a great way to keep up on current events, find interesting people and keep in touch. And like a number of geeks, I carry several mobile Internet devices at all times. So I gave as many mobile Twitter clients/services a try, and here’s what I’ve found.

While typing using the Notes application on your iPhone (or jailbroken iPod Touch) sometimes you want to go back and change or correct something. But it can be tricky to ‘tap’ exactly where you want the cursor to go. Here’s a neat trick I just discovered today - tap in the general area you want to put the cursor, and hold your finger down. A magnified view will appear, and you can “drag” the cursor exactly where you want it.

Update: as reader Philip points out, this actually works in all iPhone/iPod Touch apps (other than some 3rd party programs like Term-vt100).

Funes is a song raters dream come true. With all of its faults, iTunes remains my #1 media player. I use Quicksilver to control iTunes, which means iTunes is minimized 99% of the time. So to rate a song I have to bring up iTunes, locate the song, and add the rating. Enter Funes. A small (and free) app that resides in your menu and serves one single purpose - to let you quickly rate the currently playing song. Genius.
