Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Do you loathe the amount of time it takes to re-encode videos just so it fits onto your video iPod? Elgato’s Turbo.264 Graphics Accelerator aims to cut render time down, and comes in the form of a USB dongle. It comes with a built-in graphics co-processor that handles video conversions to H.264 files optimized for iPod, Apple TV and PSP.
In tests performed by TUAW, the Turbo.264 took approximately 3 hours to rip a copy of Serenity on a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini with 1 GB memory; Handbrake did it in about 5 hours. Unfortunately it won’t directly rip DVDs; you will either have to remove the CSS encryption or convert unencrypted VOB files.
It costs $99.95, and is great for people dealing exclusively with video or those with slower Macs.
