iFastSwitch

August 4, 2008 – 7:05 pm
IfastSwitch by Screw is a NICE app that brings easy, fast (not always, for the current version at least) and cool looking acces to wifi/bluetooth/ssh/airplane controls, and respring/reboot/switch off too. Before installing it, always remember to install the latest screwcommon (it wont work otherwise, and different screwcommon versions may [and most definitely WILL] give different options and results). Originally the app had only wifi/bt/airplane controls (that worked by tapping on them ONCE) and switch off/reboot/respring buttons that worked with a double tap. Also, in every version, there's an "info" box that takes a little while to load. Initially also,  the app was "started" by swiping your finger "diagonally" (it actually worked from up to down or right to left too) from the top  right corner of the screen, bellow the status bar. The app "slided" from right to left, but latter that changed to a diagonal slide,  to match the idea ...

Intelliscreen

August 4, 2008 – 7:03 pm
Intelliscreen is probably going to be the most useful program you’re ever going to have. What it does is show you your RSS feed, weather, email and even SMS all conveniently on your “Slide to Unlock” screen. Intelliscreen is an essential app I use every day. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is check the weather, and what’s easier than just checking my “Slide to Unlock” screen? When I’m bored at school, I can easily check the news on Digg.com. Intelliscreeen also has an option where you can switch to another screen. My first screen shows my RSS Feeds and the weather. When I double-click on the clock, the screen does a flip animation and shows my SMS’s and emails. All of these are all customizable by the way. The only problem I find in Intelliscreen is that the way you customize your layout is pretty buggy. ...

iPlot

August 4, 2008 – 7:03 pm
My viewpoint, when it came to electronics, was not always complement of my university's single-minded philosophy.  We did not see eye to eye when it came to iPods, phones, and handheld gaming systems, especially in classes.  Listening to music allows any kind of student to release his or her stress in order to stay awake in difficult classes, especially Organic Chemistry.  iPlot, developed by Markus Sintonen, gives students an excuse to bring their iPods into class, listen to music, and actually do something productive with their precious time. iPlot is the first application of its kind, because it is a graphing application that has been designed to plot multiple functions in a variety of colors at the same time.  Graphing parabolic, linear, and exponential functions are completed with the press of a single button.  Additional, iPlot contains the elements of a true graphing calculator.  It has support for trigonometric functions, Zoom, ...

iSolitaire

August 4, 2008 – 7:02 pm
One of the most well known computer games, especially to Windows users, is solitaire. When one is at school or work, most computers are restricted to what can be installed, therefore we have made due with the included windows games. iSolitaire translates perfectly over to the iPhone, and in this reviewers opinion, blows the official solitaire app for the iPod out of the water. We've all downloaded, at some point, solitaire for our mobile phones. Something tells us before we spend the $4.95 that it will be great. Of course it is terrible, barely playable, and then leads us to hate ourselves for wasting the five bucks. This app restores the good name of mobile solitaire, offering great controls and cool skins. In iSolitaire, game play is controlled by tapping-and-holding cards, and dragging them where we want them to go. Also, one can double tap a card to send it to the ...
