iPhone Apps Y’all Gotta Check Out

Posted by greg

These apps deserve some attention…

Schmap — a straight up, pimped out, web app for anyone, anywhere. Browse over to www.schmap.com on your iPhone, or iPod Touch, and access city guides with mapped out points of interest, reviews, photos, you name it… It packs a pretty slick user interface too.

IntelliScreen — spice up your “Slide to Unlock” screen with various widgets… Rather than me go on and on, have a glance over the feature list:

  • View Calendar, Email, Text Messages, News, Sports, and Weather from your iPhone “Slide To Unlock” screen
  • Smooth scrolling across each item to quickly glimpse at your data
  • Auto-Checks Email when you view the unlock screen - no need to “Refresh” from Mail.app or wait 15 minutes
  • Go directly to the application of your choice with a “Swipe”
  • Precise International Weather (by zip) provided by Weather Underground.com
  • News Feeds include Yahoo!, CNN, Fox News, and Reuters (more coming soon!)
  • ESPN Sports Feeds include MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA Men’s Football and NCAA Women’s Basketball
  • Customizing your IntelliScreen is easy! Choose which content you want to view and where
  • Mail and Text Messages can be shown only if new items are available

IntelliScreen is beta software. Use at your own risk.

Install:

  1. Add http://intelliborn.com/repo to Installer.app sources
  2. Choose the Intelliborn category; install IntelliScreen

iSlsk — a Soulseek (P2P file sharing) client for the iPhone. Need I say more? Watch the video:

iSlsk is available via the Installer.app community sources.

iCopy — Copy & Paste for your iPhone

Posted by greg

At last — copy & paste support for Mobile Safari!

Preston’s iCopy is installed as a bookmark utilizing JavaScript to enable copy/paste between websites. Before using iCopy, please make yourself aware of the pros and cons listed below. Namely the copying & pasting of sensitive data is a big no no; iCopy sends pasted text across the Internet in order to function properly. Nonetheless, awesome work.

Demonstration video:

Pros:

  • You can copy and paste almost any text on the page.
  • You can email a friend a great web page you found. Emailed text retains its HTML formatting including absolute links and images.

Cons:

  • Doesn’t work with every page (mostly pages with frames).
  • When pasting it is required to reload the page.
  • The text you paste is added to the URL and sent across the Internet. This is VERY INSECURE so be sure not to copy and paste important private information.

To install iCopy — follow the instructions here.
