First video with the iPhone 4. The quality blew me away, especially considering it’s indoors. Be sure to watch in HD.

Arcade Bowling: Skee-ball for the iPhone

Posted (seano) in Entertainment, Games, iPhone on February-19-2009

Got an iPhone or iPod Touch?

Then run, don’t walk, to pick up Arcade Bowling Lite (free) from the App Store. It’s Skee-ball any time, without a trip to the shore!

Arcade Bowling - Skee-ball for the iPhone

An amazingly realistic experience (sans the glowing ball), designed by David Crane, creator of Pitfall!

See if you can beat my high score of 540.

Apple iPhone SDK is coming

Posted (seano) in Business, News, Video, iPhone on March-7-2008

iPhone + ExchangeWatch the Apple “March 6 Event“, introducing the developer’s kit for the iPhone (and iPod Touch, people!).  The demos, all done in under 2 weeks, are killer.  New software will be available in June.

So now, who wants to donate a MacBook Pro so I can get to coding?!?!

iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware Update

Posted (seano) in Tech, iPhone on March-4-2008

Apple released the 1.1.4 firmware update for the iPhone & iPod Touch last week.  The update adds a total of zero great new features to your iPhone/iTouch.  However, I’ve noticed that my battery life has increased by about 50%!  And it is assumed this update preps your device for the (finally) coming third-party applications.

My advice: plug into iTunes and update as soon as you get the chance.

iPhone Ready For Business?

Posted (seano) in Business, Tech, iPhone on February-28-2008

Exchange on iPhoneUp until now, the iPhone, like most other iProducts before it, has been purely a consumer device.  But the business world is starting to realize that, “hey, this really could be useful in my company.”  Indeed, I’ve already ported a few of our line-of-business apps to the iPhone platform, and they work pretty darn well, even over the pokey EDGE connection.

The biggest piece of the puzzle is e-mail.  Many businesses run Microsoft Exchange, which is currently not supported by the iPhone’s mail client.  But with the forthcoming SDK release (which will almost certainly be delayed to March 6th from the Jobs-himself-promised February release date), Exchange support may should be just around the corner.  Hopefully, along with a To-Do List app.

This could do wonders for Apple’s stock price (AAPL) as well, which has take a beating these last few months after rising vertically for much of last year.  Market the Jesus Phone as an enterprise utility, and the one-off sales can turn into hundreds, thousands or more overnight…

Play Guitar On Your iPhone

Posted (seano) in Music, iPhone on January-26-2008

It’s only a month until the iPhone SDK is released, but those wacky hackers are still at it. Witness PocketGuitar, a realistic-sounding (using sampled .WAVs, I imagine) guitar simulator.

Did Santa bring you a new iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas? (You must have really been good last year) If so, it’s now easier than ever to keep up with your favourite sites — including, naturally!, Sean-O.com.

The recent redesign of the site (didja notice?) looks great as-is in Mobile Safari. (Double-tapping on any post header will zoom in on the main content) Or, if you prefer to just scroll through the headlines and snippets of stories on my RSS feed, add this link to your Favorites.
