The Week In iPhone Apps: Augmented Everything [IPhone Apps]

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_iphoneapptopszz.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" />In a very special late night edition of your weekly iPhone apptacular: Apps that make things that are already good—FM radio, video games, shopping, spouses, the city you live in—a little bit better. <img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/Picture_150.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=322850940&mt=8">Priceless Picks</a>: Don't let the advertising-crap-app appearance of <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged PRICELESS PICKS" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/priceless-picks/">Priceless Picks</a> turn you off—this free download, branded all over with Mastercard, is great. It combines loads of data collected from a number of sources, including user submissions and Amazon's Mechanical Turk army, to give wide-ranging recommendations for things to do, eat, drink or experience wherever you happen to be. There are other apps that do similar things, yes, but the dataset on this one already seems strong, the scope—not just restaurants, not just a particular company's establishments—is healthy, and the 3D map presentation is fantastically cool, and surprisingly smooth. <img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/Picture_164.jpg" class="left image160" width="160" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=313751737&mt=8">Griffin iFM Radio Browser</a>: A lot of people will download this assuming it's a streaming radio app—it's something else entirely, and actually quite exciting: iFM polls your location to come up with a list of local terrestrial radio stations, providing you with access to song titles, album art, artist info and purchase links for whatever's playing on your FM station of choice. Think of it as augmented radio. It's also one of the earliest examples of accessory integration for OS 3.0, featuring a software interface for Griffin's Navigate inline iPod remote, which has a built-in radio. Free. (The app, not the accessory. Sorry.) <img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/Picture_155.jpg" class="left image160" width="160" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=316628521&mt=8">Snore Patrol</a>: Leave this app running overnight and it'll provide a decibel readout of whatever weird nostril/sinus/lung business goes down in the duration. The idea is to present a snoring partner with graphical proof of their terrible flaw, which will in turn guilt them into doing something about it. It's funny, but the pink interface and lady-oriented marketing is disheartening. Women snore too! MUST WE MEN SUFFER IN SILENCE?

One of the most powerful is the mandate that no hardware feature on any version of the iPhone shall go unused, or perhaps more accurately, unexploited. The iPhone 3GS utilizes a magnetometer for its compass, meaning that it can detect when certain metals are nearby, and that someone could theoretically make an app that acts as a sort of makeshift metal detector. And since nothing stays theoretical for more than a week in the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged APP STORE" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/app-store/">App Store</a>, someone has: it's called iMetal, and it'll tell you when you're iPhone is next to a giant piece or iron, or hovering somewhere near a neodymium magnet. As an actual metal detector, it's basically useless; as a party trick, it's pretty neat.

Palm WebOS Mojo SDK Sadly Impotent: Badass Games Are Impossible [Palm Pre]

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_palmpre.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" />iPhone developer Craig Hunter <a href="http://hunter.pairsite.com/blogs/20090717/">confirms some of our fears</a> about Palm's entirely web-language based Mojo SDK for WebOS—it's weak sauce, with pitiful access to the Pre's powerful hardware. Hunter mentions two pain points in particular that are deathblow to gaming and other sophisticated applications that require significant graphical juice (granted, Palm was more or less open from the start that games wouldn't be a priority at first). Developers can't use OpenGL ES to the tap the Pre's graphics hardware. For an idea of what a big deal OpenGL access is, see our posts <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5286972/iphone-3gs-just-how-awesome-are-the-graphics-gonna-get-really">spanking over everything</a> the iPhone 3GS can do with OpenGL 2.0 <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5286263/will-future-iphone-games-run-on-your-iphone-3g">that the original iPhone and 3G can't</a>. Basically, anything requiring hardware graphics acceleration is screwed if it goes through the Mojo SDK, since they can't use OpenGL at all. (There are, of course, <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5288147/palm-pre-lands-hardware+accelerated-doom-courtesy-of-homebrewers">unofficial paths</a>.) The other gimpage, which is somewhat inexplicable, is that Palm limits polling of accelerometer data to 4Hz, or 4 samples a second—Hunter says you need at least 20Hz for "smooth inputs" and 50-100Hz for apps like his own gMeter iPhone app, which measures stuff like velocity and acceleration. So it's nearly useless. Palm actually shoots itself in the foot two ways with a weak SDK. First, it limits developers who choose to make apps for the platform. Second, it pushes away devs who might be interested, like Hunter, who points out the very real opportunity Palm has to lure programmers away from the massively overcrowded App Store with the promise of a virgin ecosystem. And we've still <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5316059/palm-mojo-sdk-for-webos-now-available-to-anyone-app-submissions-start-in-fall">got a couple of months</a> before Palm's App Catalog really opens. Which, even granting Palm's moving along quicker than Apple did after the original iPhone, they should be jumping at every possible advantage they can get to grow their ecosystem if they want to really claw their way into a mobile space that's not just increasingly crowded, but one where Apple's shadow seems to grow a little bit longer everyday.

Twitter app makers start pushing notifications (Macworld.com)

Macworld.com - The release of iPhone 3.0 at last brought support for push notifications, the technology Apple first announced back at WWDC 2008, only to quietly stop talking about it as it reached and passed its original due date. Fortunately, the feature re-surfaced at WWDC 2009 as part of the new iPhone OS. But with push notifications now in the wild, itâs up to developers to take advantage of them.

In this hodgepodge of collected technical trivia, John Martellaro looks at Netflix's move to squeeze out the Apple TV, a creepy experience taking a Palm Pre out of the box, how the iPhone is causing disintermediation in the print publishing industry, why Adobe slowed down the export function in Lightroom,  the new entrepreneurs of journalism, Apple's HTTP Streaming Technology, and the question of whether it's improper for iPhone users to use the technology of their devices to alert others about red light cameras.

Give Your Thumbs a Break

James Hofheins loves his job as a social media representative for a Utah retailer. All workday long, the veteran customer service representative monitors <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a> for people talking about his company. If there’s a problem, he follows up to make sure things get taken care of. Hofheins is so enamored with social media he stays on Twitter long after the work day ends to keep tabs on world news, tweet friends and retweet interesting tidbits that float across his Twitter stream. Away from his desk, a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/">Palm Treo</a> is his keyboard of choice for tuning into Twitter, sending email and texting. But all that connectivity is taking a toll on Hofhein’s thumb, his right one to be exact. The 45-year-old uses it exclusively to type and text and lately he’s been on Twitter so much it hurts. “It throbs from the tip to the bottom joint where it connects to the hand,” he says. “It’s stiff, it’s hard to extend and sometimes the tip is numb,” he says. Ouch. As more people use an <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">iPhone</a>, Palm Treo and other smartphone and PDAs for social networking, e-mailing and texting, they’re developing aches and pains, including a few ergonomics experts haven’t seen before. ‘iPod finger’ and other aches and pains In addition to sore thumbs, Tamara James, ergonomics director at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.duke.edu/">Duke University and Health System</a> in Durham, N.C., has heard people complain of “iPod finger,” overusing their index finger to spin the selector wheel of an iPod player. iPhone users have come to doctors complaining of tennis elbow-like symptoms, what one woman with the problem calls her “iPhone elbow.” The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.apta.org/">American Physical Therapists Association</a> has discussed how typing on itty-bitty keyboards leads to “BlackBerry thumb” since 2006. While some early research has shown younger people could possibly develop stronger thumb muscles from all the emailing and texting they do, it’s way too soon to tell. “They could be protecting themselves for the future or setting themselves up for problems later on. We don’t know,” James says. James is taking precautions just case. As one of her duties, James manages a group that collects data on Duke employees' work environments. When a group member complained of hand cramps from using the skinny stylus that came with the PDAs they use in the field, James found a fatter model with a more comfortable rubber grip. “We have to practice what we preach,” she says. For small business owners, it could pay to be diligent. In the 1980s and 1990s, the appearance of office PCs led to a wave of carpal tunnel, RSI, and other musculoskeletal injuries that tapered off once workers, HR and tech support teams figured out the importance of proper wrist support, seating and posture, and federal and state worker safety agencies passed ergonomics guidelines. Remedies for an aching thumb If your thumbs or hands hurt from too much emailing or texting, the first thing t o do is stop. “That’s the most important thing,” James says. “If it hurts, don’t do it.” Other remedies: <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Maintain a neutral posture. Some thumb and elbow pain is caused by holding the joint in a fixed or awkward position for a long time. “If you’re getting numb, compression of the nerve between the hand and the phone causing it,” James says. Alleviate it by using sitting or standing correctly as you type, she says.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Support your arms. If you’re sitting to type emails or text for an extended time, use a pillow or other prop to support your arms and hands while you work.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Take frequent breaks. When desktop PCs became ubiquitous,  people had to be taught to take breaks to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and related maladies. The same holds true for iPhones and PDAs -- taking breaks often to give your hands a rest, James says.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Switch things up. If you normally use one hand to type or text, give it a break and type with the other one.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Do stretching exercises. The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.asht.org/index.cfm">American Society of Hand Therapists</a> recommends a variety of stretching exercises in a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.asht.org/education/VideoGameInjury.cfm">consumer education bulletin</a> on hand-held electronics and video game injury prevention tips. They include:</li> </ul> <ol type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal">Opening your hands and spreading your fingers are far as possible, then holding for 10 seconds. Repeat several times.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">With hands laced together, turn your palms away from your body and extend your arms overhead. Stretch your upper torso through your shoulders to your hands. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat several times.</li> </ol> When the computer mouse came along, work that people did with two hands became concentrated into a few fingers moving the input device around. With the advent of smartphone keypads, that effort is now being directed into one lone digit not designed to do such work. “The thumb is the least dexterous part of the hand. It doesn’t move as well or do as much as other digits,” James says. “So to make it do what an index finger can do, you have to make it work harder.” Hofheins, the Utah social media rep, is coming to terms with his late-night Treo habit – and his sore thumb. He’s started taking ibuprofen, but has yet to a doctor, saying: “I’m afraid they’ll tell me to stop.”   <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/GlS791XPQGovGfguD1YvUvl3TDE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/GlS791XPQGovGfguD1YvUvl3TDE/0/di" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/GlS791XPQGovGfguD1YvUvl3TDE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/GlS791XPQGovGfguD1YvUvl3TDE/1/di" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/inc/all-topics/~4/SlR9Lmkr6IE" height="1" width="1" /> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/85YEoLRkRYHXAaKTC5CFCncR-T0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/85YEoLRkRYHXAaKTC5CFCncR-T0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true" /></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/85YEoLRkRYHXAaKTC5CFCncR-T0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/85YEoLRkRYHXAaKTC5CFCncR-T0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true" /></a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/inc/headlines?a=uN8lpYlI1-I:E9l_TrJycXs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/inc/headlines?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/inc/headlines?a=uN8lpYlI1-I:E9l_TrJycXs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/inc/headlines?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/inc/headlines/~4/uN8lpYlI1-I" height="1" width="1" />

How to SMS with Google Voice from Any Mobile Phone [Google Voice Tip]

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/07/google-voice-sms-1.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Just because you don't have an <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5315122/google-voice-apps-land-on-android-and-blackberry">Android phone or BlackBerry</a> (or even, unofficially, <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5239932/voicecentral-iphone-app-controls-google-voice-somewhat-better">an iPhone</a>) doesn't mean you can't text from your cellphone using your <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE VOICE" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-voice/">Google Voice</a> number. In fact, you can use Google Voice SMS capabilities on any phone. Even if you do have an Android phone, BlackBerry, or iPhone, you can still use this method to use the native SMS app on it. It's an inconvenient kluge, but it works. First, log into Google Voice and configure it to forward text messages to your cell phone. When someone sends a text message to your Google Voice number, you'll receive the text on your phone–but not from the recipient's phone number. Instead, it will be a 406 number you've never seen before, with the person's name preceding the message (as pictured here). Add that number to your recipient's address book entry as "Other" or a custom label (like "GV SMS"). Each one of your text recipients will have a different 406 number. From there on in, if you SMS that 406 number, your recipient will receive text messages from you—and it will look like they're coming from your Google Voice number. Their replies to any messages you send to that number will go back to your Google Voice number and come to you via the 406–meaning, your recipient never sees the 406 number. Like I said, it's a kluge, but it works. We already mentioned this tip in our <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5311254/how-to-ease-your-transition-to-google-voice">guide to easing your transition to Google Voice</a>, but it's an important feature worth repeating. <div class="related"><a href="http://smarterware.org/2474/how-to-sms-with-google-voice-from-any-mobile-phone">How to SMS with Google Voice from Any Mobile Phone</a> [Smarterware]</div> <a href="http://smarterware.org">Smarterware</a> is Lifehacker editor emeritus Gina Trapani's new home away from 'hacker.
