Ever go on a run or for a bike ride and have to stop to dig through your iPod’s playlist? Well, it looks like Apple is aiming to keep your eyes on your exercise (or on the road if you’re driving) and out of your iPod’s menu system.
In a patent application published today, Apple revealed a directional audio interface for iPods. The gist of the technology is that it allows you go navigate your iPod’s library without digging through the menu. [click to continue…]
I got my hands on the little Orbitix Sphero for a few minutes and if you like remote control toys and have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch this is a really cool toy for the home, office or just about anywhere. Using the iPhone to control the Sphero is quite easy. Basically, using a finger or thumb to control the interface on the Apple device is all there is to it and off it goes via Bluetooth. There is a boost button also to give a burst of speed when needed. [click to continue…]

Netflix for iPhone has arrived. And, really this is more like Netflix Instant Streaming for iPhone than a full-fledged Netflix app. While the instant streaming will satisfy a large majority of customers, there is a growing outcry (even on the first day) for the ability to manage your queue outside of the the instant streaming titles, something that you can do on the iPad version of the app.
I was quite stoked to hear this news and had hoped to provide a firsthand report. However, after a full day of cursing my iPhone 3G through software updates, downloads and account verifications, all I get when I start the Netflix app is a bright, white screen.
I’ve read a few other accounts of this happening online, but no solid resolutions outside of some snake oil and voodoo. I’m running iOS 4.0.2, by the way.
I’m hoping this gets resolved soon and I can turn my iPhone-turned-iPod (I dropped AT&T in favor of Sprint earlier this month, but still benefit from WiFi connections) into a little personal TV. This is so cruel right now.
According to Steve Swasey, VP of Corporate Communications at Netflix, this looks to be a real possibility. When Netlix dropped the instant streaming for iPad bomb last week, they were bombarded with demands for an iPhone and iPod Touch app that does the same. Swasey chimed in on the official Netflix blog in response to the questions stating:
For those of you asking whether Netflix will be on the iPhone and iPod Touch: We wouldn’t invite you to dinner without planning to serve dessert. In other words, we’re working on it so stay tuned.
