If you have an iPhone I’m sure you do not discover anything new iPhone battery l is one of its weaknesses. In fact it may be clearly its worst feature. The luck that is Apple, and logically for users, the iPhone has thousands of devices and accessories to fill this gap.
It is well known the incredible world of accessories that surrounds all Apple products. If you’re thinking about buying one of these external batteries to recharge your device quickly, here’s a list of the most interesting.
Griffin
Griffin is too well known for its accessories, good quality and finish of them. In this case there are two batteries that stand out from the rest deserve to be precisely one of the best in its primary function, reload the device.
The main differences between the two is that the old model can run with the full range of iPods and iPhones available to date while the new model is only compatible with the range iPhone and iPod nano.
We can not let one of the leading manufacturers of accessories both PC and Mac In addition to traditional batteries like other companies, also has something more interesting models.
The “traditional” model has the advantage over other incorporate a charging indicator, so very visibly at a time we can see if we loaded into the external battery.
But besides this simple model have been presented recently one quite interesting. Its novelty lies in incorporating a dock along with the battery. Thus from the dock can charge and sync your iPhone while simultaneously loaded from another external battery slot. This charge will never forget it.
Although this brand is quite unknown in Spain, other countries like the United States RichardSolo has a large following and won fans thanks to his finishes and designs just perfect.
Leaving aside their finishes. The main feature, and more interestingly, this battery is its 1800mAh capacity, higher than the rest. This allows us to recharge more than once the iPhone with a single external battery.
Also as a curiosity, has an LED for use as a flashlight battery and a laser pointer to it. The drawback to this model is that to have greater autonomy size is also enlarged on the basis of it.
I could not leave out one of the leading exporters of Chinese products. Her accessories are not characterized by a great finish, not for its great durability but of course are by far the cheapest and most accessible of the full range of batteries available.
They have traditional models like the other companies but I can not pass up the chance to show anything other than a very competitive price.
The main feature is that both batteries do not require electricity to recharge because they are solar. On the device itself incorporates a solar panel with which to charge the battery. Thus if we take a trip through the countryside or places where we can not depend on a plug that you can be the most interesting of all.
Curious that we bring this app. It’s called Sonar Ruler, costs 0.79 € and makes our iPhone in sonar, ie a distance measuring system.
It is an experimental application and works like sonar on a ship (for example): emits a sound that bounce off the wall or object and listen for the sound echo back.
As you can imagine the measurement is not exact, but the video of the header explains the best way to put the measure is quite appropriate to reality. It is a curious application of the many that populate the App Store.
If you’ve always wanted to share with your pictures taken with the camera of your iPhone, you can now do so for free, thanks to Bluetooth Photo Share can do just that Apple does not make your first iPhone. The application has a nice interface is very easy to use at any time and see what happens, but rather to transfer the image we can see a thumbnail of it.
The images reach the target with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, more than acceptable.
Now comes the snag when I say this application, only allows transmission of images between iPhone, and a great pity that this application had convinced me at all, but good is a good choice for sharing images with your maqueros.
Until now, the iPhone was the mobile phone camera that was used to make pictures that are uploaded to the network from Flickr. But now, the iPhone is absolutely the most widely used device of photography on Flickr.
The iPhone has a camera behind the Canon EOS or Nikon model. Another big step for the Apple device star, every day something new surprises.
A few days the implementation of eBay for our iPhone was updated to version 1.4.0, with a handful of interesting news and that set the tone for what may be the applications that are to come. The main feature that we are push notifications to alert us when someone bid higher than ours, or when a product is nearing the end of one of the auctions that we are following, and may set the time before we want to be notified .
Another development, also very interesting is the possibility of making payments through PayPal from the application itself, so that we can say that it is possible to make the whole process of buying on eBay just to this application from our iPhone.
The official list of characteristics of the application is:
Optimized for iPhone OS 3.0
Support payments through PayPal integrated
Push notifications for outbid and auctions that we are following.

In this way, eBay has become a mobile application that has the benefit from the Push Notifications, a long-awaited by many, but currently little exploited by developers. The application is available for download (link opens iTunes), is 1.5MB and is free.
A highly organized battle for sales is triggered between the Blackberry and Apple iPhone. Research in Motion (RIM) Blackberry associated with the company opened a store that specializes in applications for their phones, this is a way to compete with Apple’s iPhone.
For starters, the store will offer 1,000 programs from which they can choose from financial news to general news or music channel MTV, will also have access to social networks and games until some of these services will be at no cost. Among the applications that are credited to the store, you will find various prices, from a financial to $ 3 more expensive than worth up to $ 200.
The name of this store is Blackberry App World and so far we found this store in United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, but do not rush, plans are to install all that is possible throughout the world. This market is showing future and that is good example of this is that Blackberry are three companies that are positioned well in this market is the most followed App Store, Nokia has come to stand firm and Microsoft has announced it will open another shop online for your system Windows Mobile.
As many already know, I’ma big fan of the iPhone since its first version, because in my opinion was one of the most revolutionary devices in recent times. It is true that perhaps there are others with better technical specifications, but to date I have not tested or one that has the elegance of the implementation of which has the Apple iPhone. And now that the App Store has flourished, its value has increased exponentially, leaving behind much of the competition.
However, there is room for improvement, and that is what this article today.
Once we start (in no particular order):
Add a second camera in front of the iPhone and include iChat, so we can do video conferencing. And allow others to access this feature (ie, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, etc).
Allow to synchronize our data with the PC / Laptop / Netbook by WiFi. Currently this can only be done via USB. It is true that if you have the paid service that MobileMe can synchronize up by WiFi or 3G, but you have to pay and not everything is synchronized (eg videos).
So you can print wirelessly by WiFi or Bluetooth natively. It is now possible to download applications from the App Store (Shop Applications) printing to specific models (like HP), but I mean something more generic, and is supported by the greats of the industry (HP, Canon, Epson , Samsung, etc).
Create a Bluetooth standard and / or the USB connector for controls on video games. This is something that a market exists today, since not all games are suited to play effectively with it multi-touch screen of iPhone. The idea is that you can buy an ultra-thin (and portable) which communicates with the iPhone and containing physical buttons.
A mini-HDMI connector to connect the iPhone to a high definition screen and see photos, videos, video games, and even the song list. Remember that HDMI also transmits audio.
Able to record video at a minimum resolution of 720p (and 1080p would be even better). The graphics chip is known to 3GS iPhone can do, but for some reason Apple only supports VGA quality (640 x 480) instead of 1280 x 720. Perhaps because of space issues in the flash memory of the iPhone …
A standard for bidirectional communication via Bluetooth with cars, so as to avoid a thousand ways that exist today to connect an iPhone to the car. In this way it would be possible to see the names of the songs on the radio of the car, and even control the iPod from the iPhone’s auto guide and use the functionality of talking on cell phone hands-free mode. It would be great to even use the mini-HDMI connector I suggest in Section 6 to see the photos and videos of the iPhone screen LCD in the car (great for kids), or even playing video games with a Bluetooth control as suggested in Section 4.
To allow a direct transfer between the iPhone and all sorts of content (music, photos, videos, contacts, calendar, notes, web pages, etc). Apple will not want to allow this because no one wants to transfer songs (and videos) purchased by iTunes, for free to other people, but at least let those we transfer songs and videos that we climbed to the iPhone.
Although 2 years ago I would have liked the iPhone’s Safari browser would support Flash today think otherwise. Better to cope with HTML 5 and the new open standards that do the same thing as Flash and in a manner compatible with other browsers, and more lightweight and compatible with the Web. One reason was that I wanted to before Flash video (like YouTube), but now YouTube is encoding their videos directly to MPEG-4, which is much more efficient to play directly from a container Flash.
Greater freedom in the App Store. This is something that many will complain (and the main reason to give a good look at Google Android) since Apple has an iron hand in the process of accepting applications to its App Store. It has all kinds of restrictions, from an inability to create applications that compete against those that come installed on the iPhone by default (such as an alternative to Safari or iTunes) to applications that go against the interests of companies phone (eg to avoid that Skype works on 3G, and only do it for WiFi) and avoid applications that load other applications (such as emulators of classic video games), and a host of other restrictions.
Applications Department Chorra Friday (DACV) bring you today this app available in the App Store version Lite (free) and non-Lite (0.79 €). Grab Sudoku is called and what it does is to solve puzzles.
So let us in the event that we are unable to solve one of these mathematical problems in Asia. Then do a photo Sudoku concerned with the motive of a few seconds and expect Apple to give us the solution.
And what serves solve this? I do not know the truth, as much as a comment here, to stay with a friend in a bet on who is faster in solving the puzzle number. Now a little more seriously, it also gives us some clues to where we were a Sudoku choke. If that even the musiquita you have the video is ridiculous!
There are people for everything, some Fanboys are the largest in history there are going to hate to love in a periquete, either because they have just fed up with the staggering rate of the call, the selection process the applications of App Store or simply because they just buy an iPhone the day before the submission of a new model.
The fact is that the kid in this video for some reason, it has taken against its iPhone brand that is still working properly, do not hesitate to hit four shots with a 9mm pistol.
That’s not all, the iPhone when it seemed that no one could destroy more, succulent barbecue is made with him.
WARNING: Video is not suitable for very sensitive people.
Apple made several conditions to develop applications on its iPhone platform, one of them is unable to use any type of virtual machine execution engine or script as a basis for applications, only native code. This condition leaves no contests or sweepstakes to developers with extensive experience in Java and. NET, reducing the universe of developers who have knowledge in Objective-C, without being able to reuse their skills in other languages are more widespread.
But did not have the cunning of the Mono Project, the implementation of the open source platform. NET. A feature of Mono that is relevant in this context is the ability to compile code-compatible. NET code in native, he is called AOT (Ahead of Time). The idea is very similar to what GNU Compiler for Java (GCJ), part of GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and is making the source code and compile it instead of a virtual machine to compile the code Machine-specific, if iPhone is ARM code.
With AOT, laid the groundwork that makes sense to create MonoTouch, framework that has everything necessary for developers to create applications in C # and. NET for the iPhone.
MonoTouch access to all the potential of the iPhone’s APIs as well as the code and libraries that have been created around Mono. This will allow those with skills in C # and. NET can now start to use them in this exciting platform.
