HugeType for the iPhone

I just couldnt find my words for this post , so i decided to insert snippets of text from ncloud’s idea. Love the idea, creative and fun. My only disappointment is that i dont have that many friends , that own a iPhone or Touch to make a FSMdotCOM hugetype. Personally , like i said, i love the idea and i suggest you check it out. You got the link in the text below

hugeType is an experiment with found type on the iPhone. We invite you to tag and search letters from the community, and upload your creations.

Who doesn’t love Typography; we are big fans of it here. So for all you type nerds out there, we’ve got a little present.

It isn’t all Mario Kart and Ping Pong here at the nclud studio, we also make fun little iPhone web apps too when we can squeeze it in. In just a few hours, a little idea turned into a little web app for the iPhone; we are happy to introduce you all to hugeType: http://hugetype.com.

How To Create a Cydia Repository

What is Repository (Repo) :

A way of a developer distributing apps through installer/cydia. For example: Once you(a Dev) makes a repo you put your apps in it then can distribute the link of the repo to others so they can install your apps via installer.

What you will need to start a Repo :

  • A computer running a Linux Distro ( maybe latest version of Ubuntu.)
  • A website where you have FTP access to host the repo
  • Files that you will copy to two directories on your Linux machine . Get them from here
  • Any app or theme, because nobody wants an emtpy repo

Cydia Now Available On The Web

ModMyi.com just made my dream come true. This statement is true or false? Well let’s see : not true, but not false. Why so confused? 🙂 Well they lunched something i wanted for a long time , which means that the statement its not false. But they didnt make my dream come true, because well… i dont have such low ambitions.

Anyway, they recently ( i believe ) released a web version of Cydia where you can search all the repos for apps. Cydia apps listings show basic information about each application as well as a screenshot. You can check webCydia ( thats how i call it ) here

Cydia™ is Debian APT on the iPhone. Think AppStore, but with packages you could never get direct through Apple. Created by Jay Freeman (saurik), Cydia™ is a feature-rich AppStore competitor. Full themes to completely make over your iPhone’s look are available through WinterBoard. Video recording is possible using Cycorder or Video Recorder for 3G. You can share your iPhone’s 3G connection with your laptop using PdaNet, or get free music, videos, and torrents using dTunes. Take complete control of your iPhone with SBSettings.

You’ll find Cydia™ right there on your iPhone after you jailbreak your iPhone. Using it is easy – browse the categories, check what’s new, or peruse the featured section to see the current popular apps. There’s hundreds (getting into the thousands) of themes to choose from. Cydia™ is easily searchable via the iPhone – but if you’re wanting to browse what’s available from your browser, that’s what this section of ModMyi.com is for.

Jaadu VNC for iPhone

This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps :  Jaadu! icon

What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.

Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!

Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.

Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.

App Theater – The YouTube of iPhone Apps

AppTheater.com is ( i belive ) the YouTube of iPhone apps. The site is fairly new , so don’t expect to find as many videos as you can find on YouTube but i believe it will grow very very fast. You can find the exact same options that YouTube offsers you , like embed and comment but there are other options as well like set video details where you can change brightness, contrast, saturation and smoothnes of the video you are watching.logo

Another thing i really like about AppTheater, is that on every video there is displayed the price of the app and there is an “Buy This App From The AppStore” button as well. All in all there is a great site and i hope it will grow to half the size of YouTube ( that is HUGEEEEEEEE ).

Check it out, upload your own videos, send me a mail , let me check them out.

Apple’s AppStore on the WWW

appstore

Maybe some of you might knew about this, but i just found out about it. The Apple AppStore is finally on the web. The appstore itself it was a revolutionary release, changing the way users conception about finding and install applications for their mobile phones.

This online version of the App Store, which is clearly not sanctioned by Apple, runs on Google’s App Engine. As Amit Agarwal notes, Apple uses a rather cryptic XML format for delivering the pages in iTunes. However, the developers of the online App Store have found a way to decrypt these XML files and render them as regular HTML.

There are some limitations tho, because at one point or the other, you need to run iTunes in order to install an app. Given Apple’s litigious nature, we don’t know if this version of the App Store will be around for a very long time, but it’s a great resource if you just want to link to an app in the store, for example, without your users having to open the desktop iTunes app (which, after all, is not available on all operating systems).

iPhone and iPod Touch F.A.Q.

What is jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking refers to ‘breaking the iPod Touch and iPhone free from the clutches of Apple’. In other words you are hacking the iPod/iPhone inorder to gain access to its files so you can modify your device.

Is jailbreaking illegal?
NOOOOOOO!!!! Ok , this really bugs me. I keep getting emails that ask me the same question. IT IS YOUR DEVICE, YOUR PROPERTY! Once you bought it you can do what ever you want with it. Nobody cares what you do with it.

Ok, but does jailbreaking void my warranty?
Of course. Technically it voids your warranty. But if something goes wrong with your device, all you need to do is hit restore, and there is no way for apple to find out  if your device was hacked!

Are cracked apps illegal?
Another question i get emailed about a lot. Really now?!?!? Yes of course it is. You are stealing from the developers! Again, to get myself heard : from the devs, not from apple. Apple is just a 2 way sucking machine. Sucks money from you and from devs. Yes i know, this blog provides cracked apps as well. Why? So you can try it cracked, and if it really suits your needs to buy it. Take it as a fully functional, no time limit demo of the app. Now you can be an ipocrit that accuse me of providing links to cracked apps, but once you done accusing me, you start to download music. Anyway to make a resume : Yes it is illegal , and if you like the app, buy it!!!

Can Apple tell if i have cracked apps?
Do you plan on telling them?

I am a paranoid pussy question : Will i get arrested if i use cracked apps?
NO!!! again nobody will know that you download cracked apps, besides you. And your conscience that will tell you every night before you go to sleep that you just stole from the developers 🙂
