iTunes Announcement

Well, I have to admit, I was all geared up for some cool new iTunes feature. But it looks like it's something else (still pretty cool)

THE BEATLES ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES!


Have a nice day!

Ooh! What could it be?

Well, somethings going on...

If you go to www.apple.com, you will be greeted with a lovely page asking you to check back tomorrow fpr an announcement that "You'll never forget," from iTunes.

There are a number of things that could be announced tomorrow, some of them including a deal similar to the Zune Pass that could allow a certain number of downloads for one fixed price. Check back here tomorrow evening for a summary whats going on!

Call of Duty: Black Ops TV Commercial: "There's A Soldier In All Of Us"

Well, Call of Duty: Black Ops has recently launched within the past few days, and it looks like it is impressive. Check out this five-star creative commercial :) It's very well done!

Expect a review within the next few days after I grab me a copy! :D

SkyFire App for iPhone

Skyfire, an iPhone app developed by Skyfire Labs Inc. (www.skyfire.com), is an app that allows users to view flash applications through its specially designed web browser. It made it's day-view this past Wednesday, and within just a few hours, the app itself ran to the top ten charts of iTunes and was faced with such a high demand that the app was effectively "sold out". The reason for this somewhat oxymoron (who sells out of virtual files that can be endlessly copied, anyways?)is that the app utilizes servers that utilizes cloud server computing, allowing for the code of a flash file to be connoted into something readable by an iPhone or iPad device. These servers (relatively small in number for their purpose) were being used with such high demand that there was a great deal of lag and even server crashes experienced by users.

But now, as I write to you, the app is once again available for download on iTunes. Get it while you can!

My review of Skyfire:

For three bucks, its a pretty handy little app. I have always wanted to play flash on my mobile Apple devices, and let me tell you, its been a long time coming. Despite its usefulness, it does have some downsides: The app is slow to load the video but it DOES NOT DRAIN YOUR BATTERY. The slow to load is a bit of a given: translating all that a code does take a while to buffer. The battery doesn't drain much faster than youtube, however, because the video is being converted from flash to QuickTime on a seperate server, and the iPad is the client. So the battery works pretty well.

Anyways, Skyfire is a solid app with a solid idea and a technique that delivers. I love this app and is definitely on the front page of my apps. I will continue to follow this app and it's news loyaly.
