Sonar Ruler

Check out this *very* cool utility available now in the iTunes App Store. Sonar Rulericon uses sound waves to measure the distance to a solid object (like a wall) and returns it to the iPhone in a visual display.

It’s a little tricky at first, but surprisingly accurate! As the app itself says, watch the video below to see how it works, then pop over to the App Store to pick up Sonar Rulericon for only $0.99….

Apple rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone app update

Ah, power tripping at the App Store – it must be sweet.
Some dude is just sitting in his cube, sees an app update come across and decides (maybe he had a bad day or failed a trig exam) to arbitrarily reject an update to one of the most popular apps on the store, just because it references a podcast containing a popular song which happens to contain an obscenity.
Never mind the fact that someone can use the bundled iTunes app to buy the same song from Apples storefront.
It should be interesting to see how this one …

Tip: Clean up your AppStore folder

Wondering where all of your disk space has gone since the AppStore launched? Check your home folder!
If you navigate to your ‘Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications’ folder, you will find all of your downloaded AppStore purchases. What you will also find is that there are multiple copies of these files; the reason being that when you update an app, instead of simply being replaced on your hard drive, it is instead given a new name. Usually this is a numeric value appended to the end of the filename, for instance, a new version of ‘casino.ipa’ becomes ‘casino 1.ipa’.

SearchMe for iPhone

Searchme, Inc. has released Searchme 1.0, a new iPhone app that provides an internet search engine with a user interface designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app presents users with stacks of web pages that can be flipped through after a search and can be expanded with finger touches, without requiring the iPhone to open the pages in a web browser. When a user finds the results they want, they then double-tap to load the page.
Searchme has ‘category suggest’ technology that identifies a user query and then offers possible categories during typing. The app works …

App store reviews now require purchase or download

Some good news from those of us who are tired of the inane reviews of software in the App Store. Apple is now requiring that people have actually downloaded or purchased the software before allowing them to post a review.
Helluva concept, huh? :)

Major iPhone developer quits…

The developer of Trism
icon, Steve Demeter, quit his day job after making over $250,000 since his app launched in the App Store
icon. Yeah, that’s about 2 months for one goofy assed game.
Folks, if you’ve got an ounce of creativity and pair it with someone else who has business acumen and another with a working knowledge of XCode, get your asses to work and break into this market now.
The potential is huge, the revenues are strong and the market is only going to get larger.

Just for the record: people are stupid

I’ve gone on a few times before about how screwed up the iTunes App Store review system is, but this example pretty much nails it.
The app in question is Tap Email, which let’s you click a persons picture to send them email. The comments and ‘reviews’ are inane and useless.

iPhone – Remote Desktop Lite (Windows access)

If you are like me, you’re tired of taking crap from the other kids in the IT playground just because their Windows Mobile phones can do RDP. Well no longer, says I – MochaSoft has released RDP for the iPhone (as well as their VNCicon and Telneticon clients of course).
No longer will I suffer the indignities of VNCing to my Mac just to RDP back into a server – nay, now I can keep my fat ass at the buffet and login from my iPhone natively, changing passwords and restarting …
