Air Mouse for iPhone

Posted on by

Recently well at best a week ago I come across an awesome App for the iPhone the Air Mouse.

Air Mouse is not like any other iPhone App that lets you control the PC from the Lounge (If you have a Home Theater PC setup) so no having to get up all the time to get things going.

I use it on my Home PC and Work Mac’s and it has been working flawlessly from the get go little to no lag at all as it uses Wireless but has had maybe 2 little hiccups but that is to be expected.

The app can be bought on iTunes for $2.49 Australian or something like $1.99 American or something like that I don’t know how much American but I feel ripped off lol

Also you will need to download the Air Mouse Server software for either Windows or MAC

Anyway here are some Snapshots of the App.

2 Awesome Camera Apps

Posted on by

I have come across a couple of awesome little Camera App’s for the iPhone it’s been great fun using them still some tinkering to try out though.

1. TiltShift Generator which is something I have fallen in love with although I am still trying to sort out the perfect settings but it allows you to use an image (you need to be in a far distance to work) but what it does it allows you to make a point in the image look very small like miniature people in a huge crowd so to speak it looks awesome but some testing is still happening here is a couple of pics that I took personally I can’t tell the difference lol

Posted on by

Here is a Time Lapse Shot taken from around 5:45am till around 6:05am cloud movements make it look really good and the slight rise in light also towards the end you will see it almost clearing but looked like rain and it was spitting a bit so camera was covered up and come inside with me.

Battery for iPhone

Posted on by

I love my iPhone 3GS however the one thing that annoys me the most is that the battery life is just atrocious my Blackberry had better battery life and was able to run with multiple apps running in the background for hours a full day or more..

Anyway I did some looking/prodding/searching and come to find that you can get “External Battery’s” for the iPhone and they cost any were form $50 to $120 depending on the brand name

The one I have been looking into is the Kensington Mini Battery Pack it got a very good review from the guys at ilounge.com

If your someone who really needs to have that extra bit of battery life this is the best option until Apple bring out the newer iPhone that has better battery life.

I myself will be looking at getting this as it tends to get annoying and well running around with your USB Lead to charge your phone while on the run near a computer it drastically damages your USB Lead after a while mine is almost dead because of me having to carry it around with me

Other then battery life on the iPhone I love my iPhone 🙂 32GB or goodness and heaps of games when ya bored and got a long road trip or train trip lol hence also the Kensington Mini Battery Pack comes in real handy

Once I get one I will let you know my findings personally on what it performs like.

This is the same video but only 6 seconds long as the Duration is only set to .3 of a second so in other words it plays faster goes shorter
