iCab Mobile (Web Browser)

Description

iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is probably one of the iPhone browsers with the richest feature set. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.

SEARCHING:
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from. You can easily add new search engines. Search suggestions from google and yahoo can be activated. It's also possible to search within a web page.

FILLING OUT FORMS:
iCab Mobile can save web forms and restore the form content later (manually or automatically). The saved forms data can be password protected.

FILTER:
There's a built-in and customizable URL-based filter. The default filters block many advertising banners. You can edit, add or remove filters. It's possible to switch off images to save bandwidth.

TABS:
iCab Mobile supports Tabs, so you can open multiple web pages at the same time. Links can be opened in Tabs (in the foreground or background) manually or automatically. iCab can save the tabs when quitting so these can be loaded even when being offline, the next time the App is launched.

BOOKMARKS:
Bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser. Bookmarks can be also saved as "Offline Bookmarks" which can be even opened without an internet connection.

FULLSCREEN MODE:
iCab Mobile provides a fullscreen mode where the whole screen is used to display the web page. No screen space is wasted for toolbars.

DOWNLOADS:
iCab Mobile has a built-in Download Manager so you can download almost all files from the internet. The downloads can be easily transfered to a Mac/PC/Linux computer but also to other Apps on the device which can open these files (iOS 3.2 or newer required).

SCROLLING
The unique "Scrollpad" feature lets instantly scroll to any location within a web page (Tap with three fingers on the screen to activate the Scrollpad).

GUEST MODE
iCab Mobile itself can be password protected. When password protection is on, you can enable a guest mode with limited privileges which is available without a password. The guest mode can have its own subset of bookmarks and search engines.

MODULES
Modules can be used to add new features without the need to update the App itself.

DROPBOX

Compass HD + Vector Magnetometer / Gravitometer

Description

AVAILABLE FOR FREE UNTIL IT IS UPDATED TO AN UNIVERSAL APP (running on iPhone/iPod Touch AND on the iPad) FOR FREE! SO WE RECOMMEND GRABBING IT NOW. Please write a nice review if you like it, we will constantly update the product!

The first and only Vector Magnetometer on the iPhone 3GS, now for the iPad! - Visualize the hidden world of magnetism around you in 3 dimensions! It can be perfectly used to explore and measure the direction and strength of the magnetic field of random objects around you (which can be quite fascinating!). With limitations (see docs) it can be used as a metal detector to find electric lines or pipes in walls (always good to check a wall before drilling in, at least better with this than not to check at all). Another application is to use this tool as a rough estimate of your north-south position on earth without using the GPS(!) - just by measuring the local earth magnetic declination (it works fine even while flying in a plane to check how the declination changes).

The application has four different displays modes to visualize the magnetic field:

✔ Absolute Mode: Displays the absolute magnetic field in microtesla (μT) measured by the magnetometer.
✔ North Mode: A compass head-up displays the geographic north along with the pointer that directs to the magnetic north (thus display difference magnetic to geographic north).
✔ Declination Mode: Two arrows will be displayed to indicate the declination of the earth magnetic field (0° just on equator, increasing to north with blue pointer direction up or south with blue pointer direction down).
✔ Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the magnetic field in μT.


… and five different display modes for acceleration visualization:

✔ Absolute Mode: Displays the reverse acceleration of the iPhone (1g up when hold steady).

✔ X-Rotation ✔ Y-Rotation ✔ Z-Rotation: The arrow will display the rotation around the X-, Y- and Z-Axis of the iPhone. The digital indicator shows the angle numerically (-180° - +180°). A way to calibrate will be added with one of the next updates, so you could use this as a level.

✔ Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the acceleration.

For a detailed documentation, please visit our product homepage.

For recreational use only. However it CAN (!) be very accurate. The measurement is performed as good as possible (we try our best) by using the inbuilt accelerometer and magnetometer to their limits. The range of the accelerometer typically has a max of ±3g (~4.2g displayed here if combined) and each magnetometer usually recalibrates internally when over ±120μT in one axis. However, tell us your experience!

Hmm 

     

by Steve Caplin

Compass veers wildly through 180 degrees when iPad is tilted. Completely unable to tell which direction it's facing.

Cool idea, though.

Fantastic

Okay why the bad reviews? It's not like apple tried to make a compass app and this actually works rather well so don't be so ungrateful :P

River of News

Description

Customer Reviews

Still the BEST google reader client ever! 

     

by Haitham Al-Shukri

"This River of News is awesome" - Leo Laporte on MacBreak Weekly
"The killer app for news consumption may have finally hit the iPad" - AppAdvice
"As pleasurable of an experience as I could ask for" - MacWorld
"My new favorite iPad news reader" - TNW Apps
"It’s simple, elegant, clean-looking, and just simply works great" - theipadfan.com


What makes River of News different is that it brings infinite scrolling or the expanded view to the iPad. It's not based on drilling down levels of hierarchy and then back up and back down. Nor is it trying to replicate the dead tree model of laying articles out in pages of columns. Your news sources are streams, and River of News lets you scroll through them that way. Why should you have to jump back and forth between header and article? Why be forced with every article to make a worthiness decision based on a little picture and a couple lines of text? Why hit a little button or have to pull?

Why not just scroll?

Scroll up and down within a stream. Swipe left and right to change streams. Simple.

✭ Always in sync with Google Reader
✭ Unlimited feeds, folders and articles
✭ Infinite scroll
✭ Mark as read while you scroll

Apple Briefly Approves DOS Emulator for iPhone and iPad

A new iOS app called iDOS runs programs originally written for the old Microsoft DOS operating system from the 80s and 90s, including thousands of classic PC games and early versions of Microsoft Windows. The powerful app was approved by Apple late Monday night but it was just pulled from the app store — tragic, since it’s a vision of just how awesome a DOS emulator could be on the iPhone or iPad.

iDOS is based on DOSBox, a very popular DOS emulator for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. While there are many potential uses for it, the most popular use is for playing classic computer games likeWing Commander or King’s Quest that don’t run on today’s computers. The legality or illegality of downloading these old games that are no longer for sale is a bit sticky, and DOS itself is the property of Microsoft, hence our surprise that the app was approved to begin with.

Apple has been wary of approving emulators for admission into the App Store, but it recently eased up its approval requirements. In some cases emulators have been approved with no problems, but we can’t say the same for other attempts such as a few classic Nintendo emulators.

The app is very short on included programs or tutorials. It simply comes with playable versions of Ms. Pac Manand Dig Dug. If you want to install other applications or games, you’ll have to figure out how to do it on your own — but that’s all part of the old-school DOS spirit, isn’t it? Still, the lack of some basics such as the EDIT or PRINT commands in the command line ensures that you’ll spend some extra time getting set up as compared to one of the desktop versions of DOSBox.

But otherwise it’s a beautifully designed app, especially on the iPad, which surrounds the DOS emulation with delightful graphics depicting retro computer gear and the like. Customizable on-screen keypads are ideal for tailoring your experience to specific programs and games, you can force programs to run in their original 4:3 aspect ratio, and with a little technical know-how you can get most any old program working.

Mobile gaming blog Touch Arcade actually has screenshots of an old version of Microsoft Windows running on the iPad version, and users are sharing their experiences with different programs in forum threads around the web.

It would be nice to see a great app like this stay in the App Store for more than a few hours.
