  • Proposition: Looking for an iPhone Developer! – [Updated]

    [Update – 26.08.08]

    Thank you to everyone who contacted me.
    If your still interested, drop me at razorianfly@gmail.com

    Original Article:
    I am looking for a highly-talented iPhone developer to develop and design a simple iPhone application directed at grabbing content from this blog. This new application will be coined ‘RazorianFly Mobile’. The idea being, the app will provide an easy, and clean, interface to read Razorianfly, while mobile, and will be available to everyone, worldwide, through Apple’s App Store. The application will be set out in a list form, and would update over Wifi, Edge and 3G. I imagine it would be easy to develop, but unfortunately I’m lacking C+ programming experience. Currently, I’m thinking of going with the same sort of user interface that WordPress for iPhone [App Store] offers – without the editing abilities …

  • Breaking: Apple’s iPod touch 2nd Gen to get A-GPS module. – [Updated]

    [Update – 03.09.08] – (1.14am GMT)

    Apple has confirmed it will hold a special event on September 9th 2008.
    The entire iPod line is now expected to be overhauled in both design and feature-sets.

    Original Article:

    With the certainty of Apple holding a special event sometime in late September, discussion has now shifted towards what might be added to the iPod product line, to get it ready for the holiday season.

    In a claim by iDealsChina, the people responsible for leaking an accurate factory-state mold of iPhone 3G before it’s release, they now claim to have ‘insider’ information from employees and designers who are involved in designing the iPod touch and iPod nano, that Apple’s second generation of their iPod touch line will introduce GPS. If true this will mean iPod touch will be the first and only iPod, to incorporate a GPS chip …

  • R.E.M – Accelerate Tour 08 (24.08.08)

    R.E.M at the Manchester Lancheshire County Cricket Club (24.08.08).

    Late update I know, but I have a good reason. I was very lucky last night, as I got to see one of the biggest bands, (and after tonight I’d say they were the biggest) in the world, perform live. Yes, none other than R.E.M.

    The gig was held in the ‘Manchester Lancashire County Cricket Club’. Supporting were ‘The Guillemots’ and ‘The Editors’ – Also amazing. The gig lasted from 5.30pm to 10.30pm and was absolutely the best gig I have ever been too! – R.E.M, last night, literally proved they are the best band in the world.

    As Michael Stipe would say; “We’re R.E.M and this .. is what we do.”

    Here are some photos I took with my iPhone, from the gig.

  • Palladio – [Briefly]

    Call me sad, but I have literally fallen in love with this piece of music. The track is called ‘Palladio’ and you may know the anthem better, if I was to describe it to you as being the signature track that made Escala the electric string quarte, from Britain’s Got Talent, stand out from the crowd. If you don’t already own it, I suggest you go buy it! – because honestly? – it’s one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It has been adapted too. Originally composed by Karl Jenkins, there are now dance versions available.

    See Escala’s performance again: Here

    I’ve been trying to find what the track was called ever since Escala performed in the first auditions of Britain’s Got Talent. Finally, I’ve found it …

  • The Photo-Editor to take note of: Picoli for iPhone

    Since the introduction of the App Store, lot of developers have tried to provide photo-editing capabilities on the iPhone in a clean looking, easily navigatable user interface. Many have failed by either, making the UI too over-complicated for it’s purpose, or simply pricing the application too high for the market.

    Introducing Picoli [App Store]. Priced at just £2.99 (~ $7), this application delivers photo-editing for iPhone in a stunningly, user-friendly, clean interface …
