iPadian er en Windows-basert iPad Interface Emulator
Nick skriver inn med et tips for en ganske ukonvensjonell Windows-grensesnitt overhaling. Han skriver:
I recently got an iPad and I’m rather fond of the interface. So fond, in fact, that I sort of started wishing my desktop had an application launcher like the iPad. I did a little digging and turned up iPadian. If it’s too off the wall feel free to disregard this tip, but I really think it’s clever. iPadian is a portable app that launches an alternative desktop which looks a lot like the iPad interface. I say looks like the iPad interface because this isn’t an emulator (alas); you can’t run iPad apps and what not. You can run Windows-based apps from it, however, and there is even an iPadian appstore system so you can quickly add open-source apps to your iPadian launcher. Anyways, thought it was neat and figured I’d send you a link to the site and a demo video! Your site rocks!
Takk for tipset, Nick. Selv om vi er glade for å holde fast i det fine IOS-grensesnittet på våre faktiske iPads, er vi sikker på at det er flere enn noen få lesere der ute som vil være klare til å prøve det på deres skrivebord. Det bærbare / ingen permanente endringselementet er en av iPadians bedre funksjoner, sikkert.
Enkel lommelykt tilgang til iPhone
Veronica skriver inn med følgende tips for jailbroken iPhone-brukere:
I can’t figure out why this feature isn’t built into iOS from the get go, but hey, that’s why we jailbreak right? WeeFlashlight is a jailbreak-only app (you can find it in the BigBoss repository with all the other goodies) that puts a simple toggle in the notifcation bar. No more digging around for an app to turn the flashlight on and off, you just swipe down and turn it on. It’s awesome! Now if only I could find a jailbreak app that would let me double tap a hardware button to turn the flashlight on and off.
Fint tips, Veronica. Vi er for det meste Android-telefonbrukere rundt her, men du kan satse på at vi skulle installere denne appen på våre jailbroken iPhones i hjerteslag.
Kindle Collection Manager bringer Easy Kindle Collection Creation til Windows
Hey guys! So here’s my short problem and solution tip message. Problem: the only official way to put your books into Kindle collections is to use the annoying interface on the Kindle (it’s a huge pain). Solution: Kindle Collection Manager for Windows lets you create collections using your keyboard and monitor instead of the tiny keyboard and rocker switch on the Kindle. It’s so much easier to group your books into collections using the collection manager. The only bad thing I can say about the app is that it’s got a silly little email registration box when you go to download it (I hate stuff like that). Other than the minor annoyance in downloading it though, it’s very handy for manipulating collections without using the Kindle keyboard/interface.
Hyggelig finne, Bob. Vi hadde ganske mye gitt opp på samlingen-funksjonen fordi det var så vondt å skape og administrere samlingene på Kindle selv. Vi vil definitivt ta dette for en testspinn.
