Augmented Reality Advent Calendar by Windel
Dec 22nd 2013
Augmented reality can be really fascinating. But what happens if you combine a calendar with an App and 24 tiny doors to open till Christmas? Yes, the thing is getting even more interesting. I’ve found this pretty well designed (notice the iPad-like design of the calendar) Windel Advent calendar in my favorite supermarket. Each day when you open one door, you will not only get a chocolate but also a small animation with a Santa Claus when you scan the pattern on the door. Funny, isn’t it? More >

Metronome Plus review – iPhone – iPad Metronome Application for Musicians
May 23rd 2011
Tick-tock, tick-tock: millions of musicians are following this sound every day. You guess it; the metronome is the musician’s best friend to stay in the rhythm while playing their instruments. For those who use a traditional metronome (also called mechanical metronome) you will notice after a while, that the beat won’t be accurate enough due to the pendulum and the internal mechanism.
The solution is pretty straight forward: let’s take a digital metronome or download a metronome app. This sounds simple, but not every metronome app is accurate enough to ensure no delays and accurate rhythms. I’ve found a pretty nice app called “Metronome Plus”

Tutorial: Using TV Out with an iPod Touch 2G/ iPhone 1-2-3G for self-written apps with XCode
Apr 13th 2010
Here we are again with a typical problem when using an iPhone or an iPod Touch: you have built a nice app with XCode and would like to show it to everyone during a presentation. Unfortunately you don’t have the magic “Steve Job” cable that will allow you to show to the whole audience what you are currently doing on your iPod Touch.
Only the Video app allows a direct video output onto the cable. This is so frustrating! But fortunately here is a solution. This solution is based on jailbreaking your device and installing a special app that will over a private Apple API output the screen buffer directly onto the cable. It’s really worth trying it out and will give your presentation a new dimension, because not so many people are using this technique. More >

In this article you will discover two pretty nice workarounds to edit MP4 files and to convert them into an MP3 that any MP3 player is available to play.
The idea to write this article came after a friend of mine asked me to find a very quick solution to convert tens (or was it tons 😉 ) of MP4 files in MP3 files.
Don’t forget that your Mac will help you to do a lot of stupid file converting without even having a strong knowledge about codecs and QuickTime headers. More >
DIY: How to build a car holder for iPod Nano 3G
Apr 9th 2008
Readers of my blog already knows it : I like my iPod Nano Fatty. The 3G version of the iPod was certainly one of the best iPods because you had every interface / menu and preview in the same orientation and there was no need to turn your iPod to watch a film (like the new Nano ones). More >
Ipod Nano 3g Full Review
Sep 11th 2007

As you may have now seen, the new Nano 3 G was released a few weeks ago. The reviews on the internet concerning the iPod are sometime biased by enthousiastic geeks or early adopters. The following review is 100% objective |

The new iPod is about 7 cm high and 5.2 cm wide. It’s weight: only 49.2 grams! Although the screen is pretty small it’s a pleasure to watch TV shows or video clips on it. There is no visual difficulty concerning the usage of menus. But for someone who has big thumbs the usage of the click wheel might be adventurous: you will never know if you are going to select the next/previous track or going to change the volume. I would say the click wheel is very sensitive. More > |
