How to watch DivX videos on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch

May

25

Stream live video to your iPad, virtually any format gets converted live by an app called Air Video. No jailbreak required!

Yesterday night I wanted to watch a TV series on my iPad in the bedroom, but I had it on a DVD encoded with the popular DivX codec. Of corse, the iPad and the iPhone do not support any video codec other than MPEG-4 H.264 with MP3 or AAC audio out of the box and you just can’t add anything that is not Apple-approved unless you jailbreak the device.

I thought I was back to the pre-iPad era: before I got the “magic tablet” I had to move the MacBook, the power adapter, track down the dedicated IKEA pillow… No more!

Apple has sold nearly 90 million iPhone OS devices worldwide, and recently announced it has sold more than a million iPad devices. Meanwhile, the iPad 3G remains completely sold out in the U.S. weeks after its release.

“One million iPads in 28 days — that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “Demand continues to exceed supply,” he claimed, “and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”

What if there is no Apple Tablet?

Jan

Mauro Dalu

Apple-Future A few recent articles on various rumors sites made me think that in late January we may very well not see any Apple iSlate tablet-sized iPod-Touch-like or Mac-like device.

It is very likely that a new iPhone SDK will be introduced, and that this will allow iPhone Apps to support different screen resolutions. It is very likely that a 10-11″ OLED/LCD display based product will be introduced, but…

Where is the text-to-speech “speak” command in Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Jan

Mauro Dalu

Add-to-itunes-as-spoken-text I was used to have a “speak” command somewhere in the services menu to be accessible whenever you had a text selected. In Snow Leopard, that has disappeared but a new Automator command is provided instead.

The command will convert any text to an iTunes track containing the speech synthesis reading the text. A new “Text-to-Speech” album is added to iTunes containing the tracks.

iPhone OS 3.0 Not Worth $10 for iPod Touch Users?

Dec

Mauro Dalu

ipod-touch-iphone-os-3-adoption-ratio A new study by Chitika Research claims that “despite its hype, iPhone OS 3.0 had very little to offer iPod Touch users. Push notifications? MMS? Tethering? Essentially useless on a device that relies on WiFi for a connection. iPod Touch users are essentially asked to pay for copy/paste, in-app purchases, and the ability to buy a segment of the latest apps from the app store.”
