FLUD: The one app to make me want an iPad

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

This is possibly the most amazing app I’ve ever seen. I’m obviously a bit of a gadget junkie so you may be surprised that I wasn’t one of the people camping out for the iPad. Well, I wasn’t. I think it’s mainly because I’m an Android kid as opposed to an i(Insert Name) kid.

Alright, enough about me, lets talk about FLUD ($4). So what is it? It’s a news ecosystem for iPad that allows one place to read and share all of your favorite content. Not to mention it has a kick ass UI. Just grab those RSS feeds you can’t live without and sync them up. You can scroll through articles in a very smooth manner, integrate with Google Reader and share through Facebook, Twitter and email.

Check out the video after the break and learn more about how Bobby Ghoshal, the developer and designer of this masterpiece, describes the project. Also as a side note, according to their Twitter (@fludapp) page, they have an iPhone app in the works.

The Best Mobile Apps for the 2010 World Cup

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Football, soccer, the hooligans game - whatever you call it, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is about to help boost beer sells everywhere. This madness that only comes every four years is just two days away and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! The last couple weeks now my friends and I have been talking about how we’re going to follow the games. Some said they’re going to catch the first game at the International Tap House (who is opening their doors at 9am), some on the couch at home or if you’re like me, stuck at work and wishing you were at a bar at 9am. The one that really stood out to me was the answer, “On my phone.” I mean why not we do pretty much everything else on our phones and hell, if you’ve got an EVO you can even watch the match live on ESPN Mobile using Sprint TV. OK, for those of you that know me or follow Freakn’ Sweet, you know I’m a phone geek so it shouldn’t be a surprise that this got me thinking:

What are the best mobile apps for following the 2010 World Cup?

Can’t wait for the iPad? Try the Notepod+

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Sure it may just look like a pad of paper with a black border and a grey dot where there would be a button, but the Notepod+ ($20) is way more than that. It features zero bezel, infinite battery life and doubles as a mouse pad. Basically its a GUI-sketching heaven for app developers

Final Fantasy I & II hit the iPhone

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Final Fantasy VII could arguably be one of the greatest games ever but before FF7 there was I & II cause numbers go in order… Anyway, FF1 & FF2 have just been ported to the iPhone. Square Enix gave the artwork an update before launching it and it looks a lot nicer than the original. Too bad they want $9 for it. I know, I’m a cheap ass.

Ever want a self portrait in Legos?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Alright iPhone users, I’m jealous once again because you guys get a chance. Lego has released the iPhone Lego Photo App, which converts an iPhone snapshot or image from your library into a Lego piece mosaic. If you were awesome you could use the picture as a guide to make a real life Lego portrait.

But again, that’s only if you’re awesome….

SynthStation: A mobile production studio

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The iPhone can do just about anything (except make calls…. ouch) so why not make it a music production studio? Well now you can. SynthStation Studio gives you three powerful synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords, and bass lines. Built around Akai Professional’s history in synthesis and drawing on the newest MINIAK synth, SynthStation sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis.

The SynthStation has an on-screen piano keyboard so you can key in ideas on the go. To take full-performance advantage of its power, SynthStation mates perfectly with Akai’s iPK25 docking synth keyboard.

I agree with Brent from Blaccessorize.us though, we need an Android version!

Facebook for iPhone gets an update

Monday, January 11th, 2010

If you haven’t heard yet, the Facebook app for iPhone jumped to Version 3.1 last week. You now get push notifications as well as the ability to sync your friends to the iPhone address book. I wish Android did that. Anyway, it adds their profile pictures to the contact info.

If you haven’t picked it up yet head over to the app store to get it…. NOW!!!
