- Gas Cubby now available in a free, sponsored version
Filed under: Software, Freeware, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch
App Cubby has been producing three wonderful iPhone apps for a while, two of which are associated with keeping tabs on the costs of operating your car. Both Trip Cubby [US$6.99, iTunes Link] and Gas Cubby [US$6.99, iTunes Link] have been lauded by users and bloggers alike for their functionality and usability.
Now there's one more reason to use Gas Cubby. App Cubby and Honeywell's consumer auto brands (FRAM, Prestone, and Autolite) have joined together to release Gas Cubby by FRAM [iTunes link], a free sponsored edition of Gas Cubby. According to developer David Barnard of App Cubby, this could be the "first sponsorship deal of it's kind where an independent iPhone developer has partnered with a single company to sponsor a free app."
Gas Cubby by FRAM will include ads for the Honeywell auto products, and Barnard explained to TUAW why Honeywell decided to partner with App Cubby rather than hire another developer to create their own app.
Barnard's comments:
First, Gas Cubby is the leading fuel economy and/or vehicle maintenance app in the App Store. It's a proven entity with over a year of solid reviews from users and critics alike. It would have cost Honeywell tens of thousands of dollars to try and replicate the success of Gas Cubby, but with the App Store's hyper-competitive market, there's just no telling whether they would have seen anywhere near the same level of success.
This deal appears to be a win-win-win situation. iPhone users will be able to download a high-quality iPhone app for free (albeit with advertising inserted), Honeywell gets a new, targeted audience for their car product advertising, and App Cubby gets a new group of enthusiastic customers.
Second, Honeywell isn't just buying ad space in some random app. I'm working very closely with them to hone our strategy. I personally oversaw the creation of the ads and landing pages to make sure they fit in with the app and were appropriate for the iPhone. Many large companies push iPhone related tasks to their web team who may or may not have their finger on the pulse of the iPhone and the App Store marketplace. I'm also working with them on long term plans to bring more value to Gas Cubby users and find more innovative and user friendly ways to market within the app.
Third, iPhone owners are a diverse, but very desirable demographic for advertising and Gas Cubby delivers a captive audience of users who, by taking the time to download Gas Cubby, have demonstrated a concern for fuel economy and vehicle maintenance. It's the perfect place to advertise consumer auto parts to mobile users.
For those who wish to avoid seeing the ads, the non-sponsored version of Gas Cubby will still be available in the App Store. David Barnard posted his feelings about "selling out" in the App Cubby blog, and the post is fascinating reading.
While this may be the first sponsorship deal of its kind, it certainly won't be the last. What are your thoughts about sponsored iPhone apps? Let us know in the comments section below.TUAWGas Cubby now available in a free, sponsored version originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Win a copy of Things for Mac and iPhone
Filed under: Software
I have used a lot of productivity apps on my Mac and my iPhone. I wound up using Things every day because, for me, it struck the perfect balance of features and flexibility. Now three lucky winners will get a chance to see the Mac-iPhone sync, the keyboard shortcuts and the excellent tagging features in Things. As you can see in the picture, I keep the Things app [iTunes Link]handy on my iPhone as well -- it is an excellent complement to the desktop application.
Here's a pro tip for Things if you use MailPlane (an excellent Gmail front end for your Mac): Select some text in an email, press Shift-Ctrl-Option-Command-P (yeah, that's a lot of keys) and the HUD will pop up with a link to the email and the selected text in the notes section. As I loathe Mail.app for serious work, this has been a huge productivity booster. Google's task tool simply isn't up to par either.
OK, the rules are the same as always: US-only (sorry, promo code thing), 18 and up, only one entry per person (we'll check!) and three winners. To enter just leave a comment below telling us how you "get things done" right now, and whether or not it's working for you. Good luck!

Переслать - Mac 101: AllThingsD delivers a video guide for Mac novices
Filed under: Software, Switchers, Mac 101, Snow Leopard
If one of your loved ones has just switched to the Mac, or just got a Mac for the holidays, they might want some tips on how to get around and do the things they're used to doing in Windows. Katherine Boehret from AllThingsD has just posted a video and some tips showing many useful tips for switchers.
The video shows hints about keyboard shortcuts (such as using the Command key on a Mac instead of the Control key on a PC), and using Command-Option-Escape on a Mac to force-quit an application, much like Control-Alt-Delete does on Windows. There's also tips on using the mouse on a Mac, and using the trackpad to perform gestures to get around your laptop.
Switchers are also going to need help on controlling windows; closing and minimizing controls, of course, are on the top left of windows on a Mac, much like the buttons on the top right of a window on Windows. There's also tips on the differences and how to adjust to similar features and applications on a Mac, like the differences between Windows Explorer and the Finder on the Mac, and what parallels there are between other bundled applications. Finally, there's also tips on which web browser to use, how to eject a disc, and where to go for help.
If you've got a friend or family member who's new to Mac OS X, it's something they should check out to help get used to using the Mac. Of course, right after that, the next step is to read through our library of Mac 101 tips and tricks for novice Mac users.TUAWMac 101: AllThingsD delivers a video guide for Mac novices originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:30:00 EST.

Переслать - Rumored tablet could include dynamic tactile surface
Filed under: Hardware, Rumors, Apple
As a guy who still kind of winces at the iPhone's touch surface sometimes (especially when playing games -- you don't realize how nice buttons are until you see a character die because your thumb's in the way), this is extremely interesting news: Apple's rumored tablet, which we've been hearing a lot about lately, may include a dynamic, tactile surface.
This one's on a little shakier ground than the other rumors that we've heard before, but it makes sense. After that anonymous exec told the NYT that the interface on the new tablet would be "surprising," AppleInsider notes this recentpulled out an oldpatentfrom a few years agothat talks about a surface that changes its shape and feel based on how it's being used. For viewing pictures with the multitouch, it stays smooth, but the second a keyboard or button pops up, it can push out dots or shapes and become slightly tactile.
[Neil from AI sent a note to update us: "Just wanted to clarify that we didn't "dig up" an old patent -- it was filed for in August of this year, and was made public just today. It is, however, very similar to an application first revealed in 2007."]
Sounds like it'd be tough to get right (you'd have to figure out when users expect a tactile surface and when they don't, among other interesting UI questions), but of course if anyone can pull it off, it'll probably be Apple. Note that this isn't the only futuristic idea Apple has had for larger multitouch surfaces, and there are lots of different options for interfaces that we'd find "surprising." But the fact remains that though touchscreen devices are extremely popular, users want a little more feel and a little less look. It'd be great to see Apple pull this off, if they are planning on showing off a larger touchscreen next month.TUAWRumored tablet could include dynamic tactile surface originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:00:00 EST.

Переслать - The Font Game for iPhone is fontastic fun
Filed under: Gaming, iPhone, App Review
Be sure to check out our iPhone game review roundup via Joystiq.
Ask any designer what their favorite font is and you'll get one of several thousand possible answers. Fonts aren't merely pretty characters on a display; they are an art form. Each font family conveys a particular aesthetic meaning that can make or break any design, if used properly or improperly. In fact, I've long suspected the ancient Egyptian civilization was brought down by the creation of Papyrus. The recent appearance of the faux-ancient typeface in the film Avatar as subtitles will surely doom us all -- especially if viewed in 3D.
The folks at ILT share our font fixation, and they've developed a highly addictive text teaser iPhone game that puts your font knowledge to the test. The Font Game [$0.99, iTunes link] challenges you to identify a series of fonts presented onscreen; you then select one of four possible answers.

Переслать - Ask TUAW: Mac mini HTPC, Find My iPhone with another iPhone, eliminate duplicate photos, and more
Filed under: Features, Troubleshooting, Ask TUAW
Welcome back to Ask TUAW, our weekly troubleshooting Q&A column. This week we've got questions about Mac minis running as HTPCs, eliminating duplicate photos, using an iPhone to access MobileMe's FInd My iPhone feature (for another iPhone), automatically mounting a network disk, and more.
As always, your suggestions and questions are welcome. Leave your questions for next week in the comments section at the end of this post. When asking a question, please include which machine you're using and what version of Mac OS X is installed on it (we'll assume you're running Snow Leopard on an Intel Mac if you don't specify), or if it's an iPhone-related question, which iPhone version and OS version you have.Andy asks
I've got an early 2008 Mac Mini hooked up to my home theater... The Mac is configured to sleep after 30 minutes. Sometimes (but not always), switching to the running Mac will result in a blank screen. I can still control the Mac via VNC or screen sharing, and sleeping and then waking the Mac will usually solve the problem (as will switching the source on the receiver away from and back to the Mac sometimes). Is the problem with the order that the devices are powered on, or is there some setting or app I can use to correct this?
I suspect that your problem is actually not on the Mac side but on the home theater side. I think what's happening is that the receiver thinks the video source is down (perhaps when the Mac goes to sleep), and that is what's causing your blank screen. So I don't think there's really anything you can do on the Mac side to keep this from happening, perhaps other than preventing the mini from sleeping.
Peter asks
We wanted to use the "Find my Phone" feature of MobileMe... Trouble is, we only had my iPhone and could not figure out how to use my iPhone to find his iPhone. Is that possible?
Strangely, Apple has elected not to allow access to the "Find My iPhone" feature using Mobile Safari to load your MobileMe account; it's designed for access from a computer's browser. There is, however, a somewhat clunky work-around. If you use another iPhone app with a built-in web browser to access MobileMe it will allow you to view the "Find My iPhone" feature. Check out this hint from Mac OS X Hints for some suggestions. Unfortunately, this can be slow and the site is not optimized for the iPhone, but in a pinch it can get the job done.
Eric asksI'm planning on buying an HP EX495 Mediasmart Home Server soon. I'd like to move my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to to the EX495 to free up some space on my hard drive. Is there anything special I need to do to make it so that my MacBook constantly connects to the server whenever its on my LAN? I know in Windows you can map drives to servers that will stay in your "My Computer" upon reboot. Is there anything like that I need to do for my Mac?
You can add the network disk to your login items. To do this, first mount the disk. Next go to the Accounts Preference Pane, then to your account, and finally the Login Items tab. Now just drag the mounted disk from your desktop to the Login Items list. From now on when you login your Mac will automatically mount that disk.
Unfortunately, if you login while disconnected from your LAN you may see a pause while your MacBook Pro searches for the missing share. While Snow Leopard is supposed to improve performance of the Finder in those situations, you might want to consider a location manager that recognizes when you're on your home LAN and mounts the share for you: perhaps the $29 Snow Leopard-friendly NetworkLocation, the $19 Locations, or the open source, not quite 10.6-ready MarcoPolo. The MarcoPolo page also includes a list of other location manager utilities to explore.
Josh asksWhen my PC crashed and before I took the opportunity to move everything to a Mac, my efforts to recover pictures and other files led to me having multiple copies of each file. Of course, many now have names that are unrelated to the original. Is there any way to sort (and eliminate) duplicate picture files by their content and NOT their name? I'd appreciate any suggestions you have to help me eliminate the duplicates without having to manually go through tens of thousands of files.
Check out Tidy Up! ($30) from Hyperbolic Software. It will allow you to run various searches for duplicates and should allow you to find and eliminate the dupes among your photos.
Evan asksBasically, I want to know if I remove a previously synced game from my iPhone today and load it back on my iPhone tomorrow, will I be met with a "Start New Game" screen?
Yes. When you delete an app from your iPhone it does eliminate ancillary data (like game saves) as well. So if you were to delete the game and then reinstall it from iTunes it will essentially reset the game, eliminating your saves. Just to make sure, I tried it on my own iPhone and can confirm this.
Diogo asksI've a brand new mac mini that I use as my main computer, and across the wall I've got my living room where I've connected my LCD to the mini to use as a media center. I use a new Apple wireless keyboard that I want to use to control the mini, but the signal doesn't cross the wall, and becomes useless in the living room. So, is it possible to add a second bluetooth receiver near the TV with an USB extension? will it work?
I suspect that what you actually need is a more powerful Class 1 Bluetooth transceiver. The built-in Bluetooth transceiver in your Mac is limited in range to about 30 feet. If you add a Class 1 transceiver by means of a USB dongle, you should get more power and better range. There are several different models available like the BTX Range Extender from ecamm. Incidentally, this would work with a USB cable through the wall, but I suspect it will work even without it, just plugged directly into the mini.

Переслать - Tablet rumors du jour: FT says 1/26 announcement, NYT says Jobs "extremely happy"
Filed under: Rumors
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, at least if your stocking is hung on the mantel of Apple tablet rumors. Here's the two latest chunks of yummy speculation, anonymous sourcing and eager shouts from the futures market on unicorn tears:
- The Financial Times has identified an Apple event reservation for the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in late January (the same location used for the last iPod event, which featured Steve Jobs' return to active duty). The paper is saying that the event date is going to be January 26th, and while they won't say it's a lock for the tablet announcement, our buddy Gene Munster is giving even odds that the product to be launched will be either the medium or large device.
- The Bits blog of the New York Times, in a compelling rundown of the 2010 prospects for tablet computing, has got some fascinating perspective on the expected tablet. Writer Nick Bilton cites conversations with current and former senior Apple employees on the tablet topic, and points out that quite a bit of the tech in the current iPhone came out of tablet development and stalled prototypes from five years ago. The worries inside Apple that software development for a tablet wouldn't take off have been pretty well assuaged by the success of the App Store, Bilton notes, and there's -- good gracious -- actual quotes: "I can't really say anything, but, let's just say Steve is extremely happy with the new tablet," says a senior Apple employee; a former Apple staffer quips that "You will be very surprised how you interact with the new tablet." I'm getting tingling in my extremities.
Needless to say, if Apple does indeed deliver a standalone launch event for the tablet during the last week of January, it's a gigantic poke in the eye for IDG and Macworld Expo -- the show gave up its traditional slot for January and moved to February after Apple's announcement that the company would no longer exhibit or keynote the tradeshow. Ouch.

Переслать - Five no-ship gifts for the last minute geek shopper
Filed under: Software, Tips and tricks, Holidays
At this point, midday on Christmas Eve, basically all shipping deadlines have passed. If you're lucky you can find a store that has items for people on your gift list, but let's get real: You're choosing between gas station beer cozies, dancing reindeer and clearance VHS tapes. If you want to find something that will please your peeps now, I have a few ideas for you below.
* Paid upgrades. A lot of people of varying levels of geekitude are users of "freemium" services like Flickr and Evernote. They'd probably appreciate an upgrade to a paid account (or an extension of their existing paid account). This is nice because it's practically instant, and it isn't like the size or the color will be wrong. Print the email out and put it in a card, or get super creative with the presentation, and you're done.
* Online smarts. You can get a gift account for something like Lynda.com or Safari and help your nerd friend achieve +5 Intelligence in the subject of their choosing. There are a wide range of topics here, so your recipient will likely find something they enjoy.
* Software licenses. Know someone who uses the previous version of a particular application because they never got around to getting that new license? You can get a lot of software licenses online now, so buy someone you love a license for that program they love. Or encourage someone to dive into software you already love: Something like Scrivener (if they are writer-types) or TextMate (if they have been really good).
* Geek Time. If you are a consultant by trade, or just the alpha geek in your particular circle, get a card for someone and offer them a block of time with unlimited access to your brain. Or give them a certificate for a specific task: help setting up that iPod, upgrading to Snow Leopard, or implementing a backup solution. (Tip: This can be a team gift, if you know someone else got them some tech.) There are a lot of ways you can go with this one.
* Photo albums online. It always seems like someone is missing at Christmas time, so what better way to include them? Get some nice shots of all the gift opening and toss them on the photo sharing service of your choice. Get a short URL from someplace like bit.ly and customize it, then send it off in an email or give the person a call. Get extra points for having a group photo holding up a "Merry Christmas Uncle Albert!" sign.
If you have any additional ideas for last minute gifts, let's see them in the comments.
Update #1: ryemac3 has a great suggestion: vanity domain names. Get your parents the site they've always wanted at 'thewilkersons.net' and watch the fun!TUAWFive no-ship gifts for the last minute geek shopper originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:00:00 EST.

Переслать - ShoutOUT TXT brings voice recognition to SMS messaging
Filed under: Odds and ends, iPhone, App Review
ShoutOUT TXT is a new app for the iPhone [iTunes link] that lets you dictate text messages to your iPhone and send them just as you would with regular SMS text messaging.
You set up an account and text away, using your existing contact list, or entering any phone number that can be texted. After a quick setup, I could see that the voice recognition was pretty good. The app is U.S. $0.99 and you get 25 text messages free. The catch is that you then have to make in-app purchases for messages beyond the free 25, paying $4.99 for 250 messages, or $1.99 for 50. At those levels, those rates are cheaper than the AT&T rates, so if you don't have a text plan, or are maxed out, it isn't a bad deal. On the other hand, AT&T charges $15.00 for 1500 text messages (with no voice recognition of course). 1500 text to speech messages on this app would be $30.00.
If you just want to send typed text messages there is no charge, which is certainly cheaper than AT&T. Since this app uses its own server, AT&T is bypassed.
It's a bit of a mystery how this app got approved. It certainly duplicates some basic functions of the iPhone, and AT&T can't be all that happy about it. It gets harder and harder to understand the app store rules, which seem to be in a state of perpetual flux.
Who is this app for? Heavy texters who don't have a plan now, or keep running over their AT&T allotment. Of course, if you want text to speech you can use Dragon Dictation, which is free and supports text messaging, but you'll still be paying for every message you send.
In my tests the app worked as advertised, with good recognition, and I was notified of incoming texts. If you are texting to unusual names, it probably won't recognize them, but you can edit any text before it goes out. I have a basic AT&T plan, and don't see the need to add something like this, but I think it would work well for some. I don't have any feeling on how reliable the servers that power this app are. If they are good, it could be a winner for many iPhone users.
The app currently supports North American English. It works on AT&T in the states, and on Bell Mobility, Rogers, and Virgin Mobile in Canada.

Переслать - Merry Christmas Eve: Evernote for iPhone gets a major update
Filed under: Software, iPhone, App Store
Evernote for iPhone [Free, iTunes Link] has received a major update to version 3.2.0, which went live late this evening in the App Store and should be arriving in App Store updates soon. According to our contacts at Evernote, the new app is much faster, with speed improvements in launching, searching, syncing, creating new notes, and browsing.
As TUAW heard during a November interview with Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, the updated app provides local caching and searching. Any note that is created or viewed on the iPhone is cached locally for viewing and searching, even when offline. Premium users can choose to have any or all of the notebooks they've created fully downloaded to their devices, once again enabling offline usability. Rich text notes can be converted to plain text for editing, and a copy of the original note is moved into the trash for future recovery.
Other new features include:- In-app purchase of premium accounts
- A new "sync" tab
- Ability to search while syncing
- Additional languages
- A number of bug fixes and improvements to the app
