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.
If you find it too hard to control your vacuum, Rodrigo Guiterrez and Jeff Craig of the University of South Florida have created a native iPhone app to allow the iPhone to control the iRobot Packbot over Wi-Fi. The iRobot Packbot has a built in camera, and you’ll see video from the camera streamed onto your iPhone. Oh, so they’re going into other campuses and spying on them with this small little robot?
On the iPhone, you’re able to control this robot vacuum with arrows, but the developers hope to make it possible to control with the accelerometer.
The coolest part is that this isn’t just some awesome college project we hear about and never see; the program will hit the App Store in July, though pricing hasn’t been decided.
