May 30

Posted by looda in Apps iPhone, iPhone | No Comments

There have been quite a lot of VoIP apps to use on the iPhone, since its maker and AT&T allowed such software to work on the handset, but only now the official Skype app is available. Version 2.0 of the application has just hit the iPhone, two months after Skype and 3G calls were available on Android with Verizon.

Skype 2.0 for iPhone supports voice calls via 3G connection and mobile iPhone calls will be free till August, requiring a mobile subscription afterwards. Engadget has already tested the app and claims that it works just as well as any other similar solution, without being revolutionary.

Samsung launches TV Remote Control app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

Apr 11

Posted by looda in Apps iPhone, Samsung, iPad, iPhone | No Comments

Although it sells phones that run few different platforms, Samsung decided not to forget about its iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad-ownin’ users. Hence, they’ve released a dedicated remote control application in the AppStore.

As you can presume, using it you can control your TV from a comfort of your beloved handset/media player. The application supports both on-screen controls as well as gesture-based control for changing volume and channels.

The problem (if that’s a problem at all), however, is that you need to have one of the newer Samsung TVs. The official line is that the application will sing along only the 2010 models with Internet@TV. Moreover, a TV set should be WiFi-enabled — you can buy a USB WiFi dongle if wireless connectivity doesn’t come built in. One wonders what happens with 2009 models which also support Internet@TV? Are they not supported, or Samsung just wants to get more people to buy new TVs?

Anyway, the application is free (you did pay a small fortune for a compatible TV, after all).

iPhone users will soon be able to join Apple in turning their phone into a credit card reader thanks to a new gadget about to be launched by Mophie.

The move from mophie, who has so far focused on battery packs to extend the life of the iPhone, pits the company up against newly created company Square, created by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, which also allows iPhone users to take payments on the go.
